Inside Cover: In this world, things turn out as you'd expect. For those people who think it won't go the way they expected, in the case that it doesn't go the way they expected, then it really was what they expected, and in that way, things go as expected.
Back Cover: With all the hopes and feelings of the people in his fist, Luffy clashes with Ener!! Will he be able to ring the golden bell that everyone so hopes for?! The Sky Island Arc, with its chain of hopes that bind people together, comes to its stunning conclusion!! An ocean adventure romance in search of the "One Piece"!!
The Story of One Piece, from volume 1 to volume 32: It is the Great Pirate Age. Countless pirates have raised their flags and gone
to battle to find the legendary pirate king Gold Roger's hidden treasure, "One Piece." Luffy, who yearns to be one of those pirates,
sets off on a voyage to become the Pirate King!!
Plunging into the Grand Line, Luffy and company make it to the "Land of God," Skypiea, an island floating in the sky. After an analysis of the island, they discover that it is actually a part of Jaya Island down on the surface, confirm that there is a city of gold, and begin their search for riches. However, they get wrapped up into a 3-way battle for survival with the God who rules the island, Ener, and the native inhabitants, the Shandians!! The warriors fall one by one before Ener's terrifying powers. Finally, Ener's plans are made clear. He will kill everyone who lives in the sky, ride upon his flying ark, the "Maxim," and head towards the endless land in the sky, the "Fairy Vearth"!! Luffy faces off against Ener to stop his devious plans and to ring the golden bell. Luffy seems to have the advantage in the fight, until Ener welds a giant ball of gold around his arm and knocks him off the ship. With his natural enemy, Luffy, out of the picture, Ener takes his "party" to the final stage... The golden bell that sleeps in the city of gold. Will the descendants of the Great Warrior Calgara and Norland the Liar of 400 years ago be able to sound the knell that will end the fighting forever?! Luffy vs. Ener, the final battle!!
