One Piece Box Set 3: Thriller Bark to New World

Continue the Straw Hat Pirates’ legendary voyage with One Piece Box Set 3: Thriller Bark to New World, an official VIZ Media collection containing Volumes 47 through 70 of Eiichiro Oda’s internationally popular manga series.

This substantial collection includes 24 consecutive paperback manga volumes with an official combined extent of 5,056 pages. It follows directly after One Piece Box Set 2: Skypiea and Water Seven and brings together several major sections of the story, including Thriller Bark, Sabaody, Impel Down, Paramount War and New World.

For readers collecting One Piece in English, Box Set 3 offers an easy way to continue Luffy’s adventure without purchasing Volumes 47–70 separately.

The Straw Hat Adventure Continues

Monkey D. Luffy’s ultimate goal remains the same: find the mysterious treasure known as the One Piece and become King of the Pirates.

Alongside the Straw Hat crew, Luffy continues travelling through the Grand Line, facing dangerous enemies, strange islands, powerful organisations and challenges that gradually reveal the enormous scale of the world around them.

The volumes in Box Set 3 represent an especially important period in the series. The story moves through major conflicts and turning points while greatly expanding what readers know about the World Government, the pirate era and the forces shaping the wider One Piece world.

Thriller Bark

The beginning of this collection includes the Thriller Bark storyline.

The Straw Hats encounter an enormous and mysterious ship-island filled with strange creatures and supernatural dangers. The arc blends One Piece’s usual action and comedy with horror-inspired imagery, unusual enemies and several memorable new characters.

Without revealing its major developments, Thriller Bark also contributes important moments to the relationships between the Straw Hat crew members.

Sabaody Archipelago

The journey then reaches the Sabaody Archipelago, where the scale and danger of the world become increasingly clear.

The Straw Hats encounter other powerful young pirates and become involved in events connected with the World Government and some of the most influential forces in the series.

This section acts as an important transition, raising the stakes significantly and preparing readers for the conflicts that follow.

Impel Down

The Impel Down storyline takes the adventure into one of the world’s most secure prisons.

Rather than focusing on the entire Straw Hat crew together, this portion follows a particularly urgent mission for Luffy.

The arc brings together familiar characters from earlier stages of the series while introducing new alliances and threats. It combines humour, action and increasingly serious consequences without losing the distinctive personality of One Piece.

Paramount War

The volumes covering the Paramount War contain one of the largest conflicts in the series up to this point.

Major pirates, Marines and important figures from the One Piece world become involved in a confrontation whose effects reach far beyond a single island or crew.

For spoiler-sensitive readers, it is best to approach this section without knowing its major outcomes.

The official VIZ description confirms that the Paramount War material forms part of the story coverage included in Box Set 3.

Entering the New World

Later volumes in the collection move the series into its New World era.

The Straw Hat Pirates face stronger opponents and increasingly complex political situations as their journey progresses.

The transition represents a major stage in the overall One Piece story and lays important foundations for later adventures collected in subsequent box sets.

24 Consecutive Manga Volumes

This box contains:

Volumes 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69 and 70.

That is a total of 24 individual paperback volumes.

VIZ and Simon & Schuster officially confirm that this collection runs from Volume 47 through Volume 70 and contains 5,056 pages.

Premium Extras

One of the benefits of purchasing the official box-set edition is the additional collector material.

VIZ confirms that Box Set 3 includes:

• an exclusive 48-page premium mini-comic
• a double-sided colour poster

These extras are part of the official product and make the collection particularly attractive to One Piece fans and manga collectors.

If your stock is pre-owned or the box has previously been opened, check that both premium items are still inside before advertising them.
