Īt first, the Animal Theater covers were randomly featured similar to Color Spread, even in the middle of Cover Story. ![]() Oda has confirmed that he likes drawing animals, sometimes with unique coloring or appearance. They depict one or several Straw Hats members (or Vivi and Karoo) in a fantasy scene with an animal. They only appeared in the first half of the series.
