This single-volume anthology gathers five early short stories by Eiichiro Oda from before One Piece. The title piece follows Gill Bastar, a feared gunslinger who has only ever killed in self-defense and now finds himself haunted by a vengeful bounty hunter. The collection also includes "God's Present to the Future," about a pickpocket named Bran marked for death by a falling meteor, the demon-hunting tale "Monsters," and "Romance Dawn," the early prototype that seeded the characters and ideas Oda would later build into One Piece.
