"Log" Compilation Bonus Comics

The more well-known group of One Piece side-comics came from the Log series. The Logs were magazine-format compilations released between the end of 2005 and April 2006, which covered the beginning of the series up until the end of the Baroque Works Saga. These short bonus comics were featured at the end of the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 7th Logs, and advertised as "Brand-New from Oda-sensei! Special Manga" (尾田先生描きおろし！スペシャルマンガ, Oda-sensei Kakioroshi! Supesharu Manga^?). According to the author, for each comic he was given three sheets of blank paper by his editor and told to "draw anything," with these being the result. These comics were brought to television as "Straw Hat Theater" (麦わら劇場, Mugiwara Gekijō^?), airing as shorts alongside One Piece episodes 279 through 283 in October 2006. The episodes of the show during this period were made up of filler and flashback material, so it is generally believed to have been a move on the part of Toei Animation and Fuji TV to give viewers an incentive to keep watching, until the start of the fight against CP9.

Obahan Time

"Obahan" Straw Hat crew.

The second comic, "Obahan Time," was published in December 2005 in The 3rd Log: "NAMI". The anime version aired along with episode 281, on 15 October 2006. "Obahan," derived from the Japanese "Obasan," meaning "aunt" and applied more generally to middle-aged women, refers to a stereotype of middle-aged housewives who tend to be rude and demanding. In this comic, the author investigates the hypothetical situation of "if the Straw Hat Pirates were Obahan, who would be the strongest?" The story follows Mrs. Luffyzaki as she attempts to get soy sauce in order to cook a variety of meat dishes, but eventually ends up fleeing to Mrs. Robino's in order to avoid the wrath of her landlady Mrs. Namijima. The author concludes that Mrs. Namijima is, indeed, the strongest.

No Code-of-Honor Time

A scene from No Code-of-Honor Time.

The third comic, "No Code-of-Honor Time" (仁義ない TIME, Jingi nai TIME^?), was published in February 2006 in The 5th Log: "CHOPPER"." The anime version of this story aired alongside One Piece episode 282, on 22 October 2006. The comic is apparently the dream of a bored moai statue, and features a mafia theme. Don Luffyone wants all the meat to himself, so he and his rival bosses Don Zoroscia and Don Sanjino set out to be the last man standing, as each of the Straw Hats is killed off one by one. Eventually, only Luffyone is left, though he is now terribly lonely. Note that "jingi" in the title more accurately translates to "humanity and justice," a byword for a kind of moral code that is said to be lacking among yakuza. In fact, the title header for the comic seems to have been ripped directly from the title card for the 1973 yakuza film Battles Without Honor and Humanity (仁義なき戦い, Jingi naki Tatakai^?).

The anime version aired alongside One Piece episode 279, on 1 October 2006. In this story, Chopper Man infiltrates the lair of the evil Dr. Usodabada, tames his henchmen with the power of his cuteness, and makes friends with Usodabada's Giant Luffy Robo, which he uses to destroy the Doctor's castle.
