Whitebeard and Ace's Graves
Trivia
- At 48 installments, this is the longest cover story in the manga. There are 53 chapters between the end of the previous Cover Story and the start of this one, also the longest in the manga.
- From the Decks of the World: The 500,000,000 Man Arc acts as the sequel to this Cover Story. From the Decks of the World and Where They Are Now are the only series with sequels.
- When a News Coo dropped a newspaper containing the article about the Straw Hat Pirates' revival in Chapter 613, the contents of the paper were more clearly seen in Chapter 662.
- This is the first cover story that introduced a Devil Fruit power in the case of Minochihuahua.
- In the cover of Chapter 668, Whitebeard and Ace's grave are shown after the timeskip with a bottle of sake and three cups. This foreshadowed Sabo as it was later shown again in Chapter 731.
- While this serial was never animated per se, its first installment was (along with its follow-up's) used to compose the opening shot for the anime's fourth eyecatcher series.
- Of these eyecatchers, Sanji's features the Nasugasira in the background—the only specific element from either serial to be so featured.
