The cover features Monkey D. Luffy and Sogeking back-to-back in the foreground. Luffy is holding his straw hat in front of his face while Sogeking is pointing upwards. To the right, a young Nico Robin is shown doing her impression of Jaguar D. Saul's laugh. Saul himself is behind Robin in the cover's background section doing his signature laugh, with Nico Olvia alongside him to the left.
