We now have more information about the bonus comic that is to come with One Piece Box Set 3: Thriller Bark to New World, Volumes 47-70.

Alexis Kirsch, the current editor of One Piece for the English Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, confirmed on this week’s Shonen Jump Podcast episode that the upcoming One Piece Box Set 3 will come with two special One Piece crossovers. Spanning over 48 pages combined, the big box set will have “Cross Epoch,” Akira Toriyama and Eiichiro Oda’s collaborative work that was first published with chapter 439 of the One Piece manga, and the Toriko crossover, entitled “Taste of the Devil Fruit,” which originally came out with One Piece chapter 619. In addition, One Piece Box Set 3 will come with a double-sided colored poster.

One Piece Box Set 3 will be available for purchase starting October 4. It was first announced by VIZ at this year’s Anime Boston panel. With content spanning 5,056 pages, the first volume included in this set will continue the Thriller Bark arc from volume 47 “Cloudy, Partly Bony,” and conclude with volume 70 “Enter Doflamingo.” One Piece Box Set 3 will cover up to the first chapter of the Dressrosa arc, chapter 700 “His Momentum.”

VIZ introduced the big One Piece manga box sets with “East Blue and Baroque Works” on November 5, 2013 and contained volumes 1 to 23. In addition, the first One Piece box set came with a double-sided poster and Oda’s “Romance Dawn” one shot. Following up the first set, One Piece Box Set 2: Skypiea and Water Seven was released on November 4, 2014 with volumes 24 to 46. Similar to its predecessor, the second box set included a double-sided poster, as well as the special One Piece chapter that was originally released to commemorate One Piece Film: Strong World’s release.

Please support One Piece by purchasing its official releases. VIZ Manga is now selling two box sets: One Piece Box Set: East Blue and Baroque Works (volumes 1-23) and One Piece Box Set 2: Skypiea and Water Seven (volumes 24-46) on Amazon at a great price.
