Volume 38 is titled "Rocketman!!".

Cover and Volume Illustration[]

The cover is of an orange color with the title logo being in a brown spectrum gradient. The author's name is printed in brown.

The cover features Monkey D. Luffy atop the Rocketman while biting down a large chain. Behind him, Kokoro is posing with Chimney and Gonbe, who are happily jumping around her, and Sodom and Gomorrah, who are roaring in the background. In the foreground, Sanji is delivering a kick while Usopp strikes a pose in his "Sogeking" disguise.

Author's Notes[]

Author's Notes
Volume 038 Intro Image When you buy stuff like singles CDs, around the 3rd song or so there's a singing-less song you can find that's written "Instoormentar". Mothers who forget to buy the ingredients of the miso soup they were going too make for the dinner of their families could say this. "Today's miso soup is Instoormentar". During a test, if you can't think of an answer then everyone should write next to the blank space. "It's Instoormentar". I frequently get pointed out by my readers that I forgot to draw something, but that is obviously also "Instoomentar".

(Translator's note: The first Instoormentar (written インストゥルメンタル for all of them)refers to "Instrumental". The second is probably some pun on INSTRUmental and instant. The third has something to do with instruMENTAL but I am not sure how that works out. The last use of Instoormental is probably just random.)
