Buggys crew adventure chronicles

A clown's pursuit of revenge

The very first cover page contains buggy the clown after his defeat in the main history. Exploded with just the head, arms and feet, struggles buggy to travel over the sea in his weakened state and is attacked by fish, birds and crabs. He jumps from island to island until he is saved by Pirate Alvida. After learning Alvida's Vendetta against Luffy, they become two partners, which will later be seen in Loguetown.

Buggy can eventually find its ship and crew with Alvida's help. Unfortunately, they had been caught by cannibals after a dispute to decide the next captain and cooked. With its missing upper body and legs, buggy can save its crew and scare away the cannibals. Although it is a stupid story, this bow is a good example of Buggy's incredible turn.

Koby-Meppo

The beginning of a marine career

Koby has become a great player in the story of A bit Recently, but his journey to becoming the marine captain has largely been invisible. The second cover story is about the early days of Koby and Helmeppo's marine career. Originally, the two Chore boys, but despite everyday work, are doing Koby its best to become a real navy.

In this arc, Vice-Admiral Garp is officially introduced as an escort for Ax-Hand Morgan's Arraignment. Koby and Helmeppo show their courage under Morgan's Escape, which convinces Garp to train them. Their work as Marines eventually leads to their confrontation with Luffy and Zoro in water 7.

Jango's Dance Paradise

A new life for dancing marines

As the straw hats travel through the large line, one of their old enemies becomes the protagonist in their own cover story. The Jango Hypnotist is abandoned by his crew and left to his own units. He will eventually reflect Ball Island, where he participates in a dance competition and becomes friends with the marine lieutenant, full body.

Although this page story is not relevant to the main plot, it shows the more humane side of the marine soldier. As a former pirate, Jango was acquitted and enters the marinas with the support of his friend. Now both characters are working under Marin Captain Hina.

16

Hatchans Sjölösta walk

An underwater adventure

Hatchan is a key figure in the Sabaody Archipelago arch, but his trip to that point is detailed in the fourth cover story. After the events in Arlong Park, Hatchi flees a marine ship and returns to Fish-Man Island. Along the way, he meets many fish and people and receives objects that are temporarily needed by the next person he meets.

This page story depicts Hatchi in a different light, which proves that he was more innocent compared to Arlong and the others. His kindness suggests things that come later in the main history, as he saves Camie and dad from slave traders.

15

Wapol's omnivorous cheer

The king of the children's toys

The fifth arc follows the former king of Drum Island, Wapol. After being sent by Luffy, Wapol ends up on an unknown island where his devil fruit forces makes him eat everything. Eventually he is chased by the marinas because of how much he eats. Later he starts a toy company that uses his forces and gets fame to create the very customizable wapometal.

Although he is a funny story, this bow also serves as a preparation of Wapol's return during the reverence, where he becomes one of the few people who know one of the world's biggest secrets. Although he only plays a small role, he will definitely be shown again in the future.

14

Ace's big Blackbeaard search

The short limelight

The sixth cover story has ACE during his search for BlackBeard. After being kicked out of the city for not having any money, Ace is saved by a young girl who runs a dairy farm. To repay her, ACE agrees to deliver a letter to the Navy's headquarters on the island, where he causes problems but in the end the task is done. As a bonus, he gets some information about BlackBeard's place of residence.

At this point, ACE has only appeared briefly in the main history, so this cover is the arch serves to expand its character before he becomes more relevant to the action. Of course, it can also be seen as a prelude to ACE's confrontation with BlackBeard to know what happens later.

13

Gedatsu's unintentional blue -sea life

An unlikely business partner

Although he was one of Enel's priests, some may not remember Gedatsu, so his personal bow is a bit surprising. After losing for Chopper on Sky Island, he crashes in Alabasta, where he becomes a partner with an old man who wants to open a warm source. After much excavation and some accidents, they find a water source and open Ukkari Hot-Spring Island.

This is mostly a stupid story, but it is also a brief update of Straw Hat's friends from Alabasta. When the hot source is open, it sees many visitors, including Vivi, Igaram and Karoo.

12

Miss Goldenweek's “Operation: Meet Baroque Works”

A Baroque works epilogue

The eighth cover story is about the members of Baroque Works. After learning the organization's downfall, Miss Goldenweek 5 and Miss Valentine take an adventure to save her friends. While they meet many obstacles along the way, they eventually succeed. However, crocodile refuses to flee, so he remains imprisoned with Mr. 1, 2 and 3.

The members of Baroque plants are largely forgotten, so it is particularly interesting to see what their lives are. It is also another example of ODA's foreshadges, as Crocodile and his men are sent to drive down the last part of the story.

11

Enels large space business

Lives on the moon

Compared to the other cover arches, Enel's side history is probably one of the most bizarre. After the events in Skypeia, Enel rides his aircraft to the moon, where he finds and charges four strange robots. It turns out that these robots were attacked by space pirates trying to dig the moon. Enel defeats them and becomes the leader of a robotic army.

Despite its Outland concept, this cover story contains some huge Lore points, such as how Skypeia's residence actually originates from the moon. It is also mentioned Karakuri Island, which is Vegapunk's childhood home and the location Frany is sent by Kuma.

10

CP9's independent report

The simple life of Rob Lucci

Like the members of Barock Works, the agents for CP9 receive their own coverage who describe their lives after their defeat of the straw hats. To save Rob Luci, the members of CP9 become street artists and cleaners to make money. Eventually, Luci recovers, and they return to their hometown where the next generation of ciphs are trained.

Although it was originally served as an epilogue to Enie's Lobby Arc, this page history is more interesting after the events in Egghead, where Kaku and Lucci return to the main history. This bow can be seen as a clue to their recurring.
