Volume 4000000000 is titled "RED". It is a free volume distributed to the first three million attendees of One Piece Film: Red.[1] A second version, with an alternate cover, was limited to two million copies.[2]
The first version of the volume cover uses the same illustration by Eiichiro Oda that is used as a poster for the film. It depicts Shanks and Luffy at the top facing in the opposite directions, and Uta at the bottom with some structures of Elegia behind her.
The second version depicts Luffy in his Film: Red outfit, with a giant, red-tinted portrait of Shanks behind him.
Author's Notes[]
It's Volume 4 Billion!! That's a huge number!! The number is based on Shanks' bounty. When I went to a Takoyaki shop in Osaka, it said "4,000,000 Yen" for six Takoyaki. When I gave the waitress 500 Yen, she said "Yes, your change is 100 Yen" and gave me 100 Yen. Osaka is a special town, which is rarely acknowledged in the world, isn't it? This is "HYPER INFLATION"!!! This means, Volume 4 billion begins!!
