Volume 57 is titled "Summit War".

Cover

The outside colored cover is sky blue, though white clouds cover much of it. The title logo is red and yellow, with flames appearing in the letters. The author's name is written in red.

Luffy is running in the foreground, and behind him are the division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates, all in a blue tint. Behind them is Whitebeard's smiling face, and behind Whitebeard is his Jolly Roger.

Author's Notes

Author's Notes I'm the type of guy who doesn't feel right if I'm not reading something; in other words I have an addiction to books. I lied. JUST WANTED TO TRY SAYING IT. Volume 57 is starting---!!

Trivia

• VIZ Media originally were going to print Volume 57 using the "Impel Down" header. However it was changed to "Paramount War" before printing. Soon after, they switched to the "New World" header and kept it until "Wano" for volume 90.

Volume 57 with "Paramount War".
