A register-bin, not a serial. The long-running Baroque Works cover serial “Ms. Golden Week’s Big Plan, A Baroque Reunion” concluded at its FINALE on Ch. 413 — merging into the main plot (the tracked Baroque Works cast sentenced to Impel Down; see Goldenweek Baroque Reunion Cover Serial Sentences Cast To Impel Down). No successor cover serial has begun. From Ch. 414 onward the Enies Lobby battle chapters carry standalone decorative chapter title pages — Oda’s recurring animal-themed title art, with no recurring cover-serial caption and no “Vol. N” installment counter.
They are logged here in one place so future reader passes do not spuriously fork them into a new cover serial. The “LOST CHILD / MAIGO” caption on the Ch. 416 art is an in-scene gag label, not a serial installment title.
Verified one-offs (no serial caption)
| Chapter | Title | Art |
|---|---|---|
| Ch. 414 | ”ROB LUCCI VS. SANJI” | Luffy in a “Buffalo” tee walking a black water buffalo across a black-and-white tiled crosswalk. Decorative animal-themed title art; page no. 89. |
| Ch. 416 | ”ZOLO VS. KAKU” | A young woman standing beside a smiling rhinoceros, a vertical “LOST CHILD” (MAIGO) gag caption, a flock of small birds, and a uniformed boy at right reading a notice. Standalone decorative title illustration — the gag-caption is in-scene, not a cover-serial title. Page no. 129. |
| Ch. 417 | ”ASURA” (“BEAR GARDEN”) | One-off decorative “Bear Garden” title splash. Not a serial installment (the Goldenweek serial concluded Ch. 413). |
| Ch. 418 | ”LUFFY VS. ROB LUCCI” | Whimsical outdoor scene — a kangaroo, an armadillo, a small marsupial, and Chopper romping; a thematic riff on the in-story “there’s always the zoo” joke (p. 3), not a separate cover-story B-plot. Black-and-white line art, not a color spread. |
| Ch. 419 | ”LEGEND OF A HERO” | A muscular, curly-haired man in a skull-motif vest holding a lantern, walking a jungle path beside a large tiger; a striped (ringtail-style) tail trails in the foreground at left. Decorative animal-themed title art — no serial caption, no “Vol. N” counter. The man’s curly hair + skull vest + big build evoke Franky, a thematic nod to this chapter’s Franky-shields-Robin heroics. One-off, not a serial installment. Page no. 189. |
| Ch. 420 | ”BUSTER CALL” | A fancy patisserie interior: Sanji in apron icing a tall multi-tiered cake captioned “I LOVE [NAMI] / ROBIN,” with a horse’s head locked in a glass-fronted stocks/case at left and small piglets nestled at the cake’s base. Standalone decorative title art — no recurring cover-serial caption, no “Vol. N” installment counter. A thematic riff on Sanji’s love-cook gag, not a separate cover-story B-plot; the freeing of the “caged” figure echoes the in-chapter rescue of Nico Robin from her cuffs. Page no. 7. |
| Ch. 421 | ”GEAR THREE” | An opulent billiard room: Nico Robin in a checkered dress leaning over a billiards table mid-shot, surrounded by several koala-faced bears (one in a bellhop/usher uniform, one in sunglasses at right) and a chalkboard scoreboard at left. Standalone decorative animal-themed title art — no recurring cover-serial caption, no “Vol. N” installment counter. A whimsical Robin-among-the-bears one-off, not a serialized cover B-plot (Robin is held captive in the main story this chapter); do not fork into a new serial. Page no. 27. |
Notes
- Ch. 413 is not in this bin — its page-1 art is the FINALE of the Miss-Goldenweeks-A-Baroque-Reunion serial (“Sentenced to Incarceration in the Great Prison Impel Down”), which merges into the main plot.
- Ch. 415 carries no story title page — its captured
page-021.jpgis the title page of the NEXT chapter (0416) captured at the tail, andpage-020.jpgis an SBS Question-Corner page. Neither is a 0415 cover. status: ongoing(open register-bin) — kept open because no successor cover serial has yet appeared at the read frontier. Re-key toconcludedif/when a new serialized cover story begins, and move its chapters to that note.
