A fan-submitted puzzle page featuring One Piece characters. At the top, faces of Crocodile, a bear-like figure, a small creature, and a masked woman appear beside the text: "Q: Hanai Miyuki-chan from Aichi has sent us 2 fun games. They may look simple, but they're not!! Read the rules and think HARD before you do anything!! Hint: All you have to do is follow the rules. Answers on page 188." Puzzle 1 shows circular portraits labeled ゾロ (Zoro), ビビ (Vivi), ルフィ (Luffy), カルー (Karoo), トニ (Tony), ウソップ (Usopp), ナミ (Nami), サンジ (Sanji), and ロビン (Robin) with the instruction to draw a straight line that bends only 3 times and passes through each character only once. Puzzle 2 displays a room layout with the same characters and the rule: "Go in the entrance, and bend only twice, then go out the exit after you've gone through all the characters' rooms. (3 straight lines)"
