As with other commemorative covers, this time we see the Straw Hat Pirates running the unusual “ Bottakuri Maid Café ”. In this illustration, Nami , Robin , Lilith and young Bonney appear as friendly maids, serving in classic maid outfits, while serving very special customers.
Characters have fun in Eiichiro Oda's drawing
Meanwhile, Luffy , Zoro , Sanji , Usopp , an elegant cat, and a goat-man appear dressed in refined clothes, like customers ready to enjoy the atmosphere. However, Usopp and the cat are startled by the absurd prices on the menu, creating an unexpectedly comical scene.
This direct and playful reference by Eiichiro Oda pays homage to "Izakaya Bottakuri ," a manga and light novel written by Takimi Akikawa and illustrated by Shiwusada. After all, "bottakuri" means "abusive prices"—a key element of this visual joke that reinforces Oda's signature humor.
Therefore, this special cover reinforces the undeniable creativity of One Piece , which even after more than a thousand chapters, still surprises with unexpected tributes and jokes.
