Inside Cover: UFO stands for "Unidentified Flying Object." It's called a UFO because you don't know what it is. So when UFO researchers see a picture of a mystery object floating in the sky, they say, "This is a UFO, I just know it!!" Which means they're saying, "I don't know what this is, I just know it!!" Uh, WHAT? Volume 47 begins!!

Back Cover: Brook's lost his shadow, Nami's group's been attacked by zombies, and members of Luffy's party are disappearing left and right. Thriller Bark is full of puzzling mysteries!! Watch as the full story is gradually revealed!! An ocean adventure romance in search of the "One Piece"!!
The Story of One Piece, from Volume 1 to Volume 47: 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!!
Having successfully arrived at the Grand Line, Luffy and crew head for Fishman Island with their new ship, the Thousand Sunny! However, a sudden squall sends them into the haunted Florian Triangle, where they soon come across a ghost ship. Luffy is immediately enamored of the funny and fascinating skeleton Brook onboard the ship, and invites him to join the crew. Brook has lost his shadow, and asks the crew to get it back from the man who stole it. Luffy's enthusiasm only increases when he finds out Brook is a musician. Brook must refuse the offer, however, because without a shadow, he cannot live in the light of day without disintegrating. Suddenly, the ghost island Thriller Bark appears and swallows the ship up! Brook recommends escape, and leaps off onto the island. Despite refusing to disembark, three of the crew accidentally end up on the island, where they reach the mansion of the genius surgeon, Doktor Hogback. And it is there that they see him creating zombies in his lab!! The rest of Luffy's group then learns the startling truth: the Seven Armed Sea, Moria Gecko is on this island!
An army of zombies gathers in the name of a "night strike." Once Moria wakes from his sleep, the stars are all aligned! A night of terror is about to begin...
