About this deal

One Piece is a manga series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda, published in Japan by Shueisha, with chapters serialised in the shonen manga anthology Weekly Shonen Jump and collected into tankōbon volumes. Standard tankōbon volumes are published in B6 format, measuring approximately 12.8 cm x 18.2 cm, with black-and-white interior pages. This first printing (shohan) Japanese edition from 2001 is an original release under the Jump Comics imprint, making it a sought-after collectible for series fans and manga collectors alike. Volume 19 continues where the previous tankōbon left off, containing chapters 167 to 176, and carries on the Arabasta Arc. Smoker awaits the Straw Hats in Rainbase and chases several of them into Crocodile's casino, where they fall through a trapdoor into a cage. Smoker, aware of Crocodile's plan, calls for reinforcements while the Straw Hats head for Alubarna, with Monkey D. Luffy staying behind to take on the warlord. Volume 19 is also one of a small number of volumes to feature an original drawing of the recurring Easter egg character Pandaman on the front.
