One Piece Chapter 42, page 0-3: Yosaku and Johnny

The title page for Chapter 42, 'Yosaku and Johnny'. The cover story features 'Adventures of the Buggy Crew Vol. 6: Journey Through the Sky, Part 2'. A strange bird-like creature holding a knife and fork looks down at two small chicks on a table, with Buggy's face visible in a bubble.

The Going Merry sails across the open sea. On deck, Luffy proudly holds up a newly painted black flag, shouting, 'Alright! Our pirate flag is done!

Luffy shows off his poorly drawn pirate flag. Zoro, Nami, and Usopp react with horror and criticism. Luffy laughs, explaining he put a lot of thought into it. Usopp declares Luffy's drawing skills are beyond terrible and takes over the brush, painting a much better version of the Straw Hat Jolly Roger.

Usopp finishes painting the flag, earning praise from Nami and Luffy. Usopp boasts about his artistic talents honed from years of graffiti. Soon, the Going Merry is fully decorated with the new Jolly Roger on both the flag and the main sail, ready for action.
