The cover is white with a solid teal title logo and author's name.

The cover features the Straw Hat Pirates and Franky ready to fight the CP9. Monkey D. Luffy is in the foreground, having the sides of his mouth pulled by Roronoa Zoro and Sogeking (akin to Chapter 400). The background features Nami posing with the Clima-Tact in her hand, Sanji unleashing a high-flying kick, Chopper in his Monster Point transformation, and Franky about to unleash his Weapons Left technique. The background is also in flames.

Author's Notes

Author's Notes Timing is important. George really needs to fart. Right now he is in a classroom and it's very quiet. So he thinks. If he shouts out extremely loud and farts while doing so, it can be covered. Three, two, one, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" "What?" *whisper whisper!!* *silence.....* *FART!!!* Now then!! Volume 43 is about to begin!!
