VIKING (VIKING - バイキング) is another segment that can be found in this volume between chapters, divided into 3 parts and located on pages 52, 94, and 134. Here, the author defines who vikings were, and elaborates on the topic.
Context

[びよよんルフィーを作ろうのコーナー！！], where he provides an illustration which can be cut out and glued together to create a small paper toy of Luffy with his arm stretching outwards. He explains how to put the toy together on the next 2 pages, step by step and with illustrations.
- Titled Coloring Book Segment [ぬりえコーナー], a 2-page self-colorable illustration of the Straw Hat Pirates flying on the back of a large dragon is provided on pages 198-199.
Trivia
- Though the author gives an announcement at the end of this volume that he plans to start the SBS segment starting from the next volume, it was pushed back to Volume 4 due to difficulties with the volume release date.[2]
