Cover and Volume Illustration[]

Volume 68 Illustration

The illustration on page 3 of Volume 68.

The colored cover background is bluish-white, and the title logo is printed in fading ice-blue, light blue, and red. A unique feature is that the top of the title logo is covered in snow. The author's name is printed in 2 colors (red and orange), which is also a unique feature to this volume.

On the front, Caesar Clown surrounds the center of the cover, with his torso and face in the top right. Surrounded by him are portraits of, from right to left, Smoker, Luffy, and Law. On top of those portraits are the same three characters, shown from a top-down perspective. Smoker and Luffy stand next to each other, with Law behind Smoker. Snow is falling in the foreground.

On the spine Law and Luffy are featured, and the skull print on the spine is colored purple.

For the volume illustration on page 3, a bandaged Luffy shouts out with a victorious pose. He is wearing fire-print shorts and has a large wrestling champion belt over his shoulder.

Author's Notes[]

Author's Notes
Volume 068 Intro Image

Does the thought of "I DON'T EVER WANNA GROW UP!!" ever cross your mind?

When surrounded by adults who can hardly be considered role models, kids will lose their appetite and refuse to grow. If we were to take full advantage of this phenomena, it would become a revolutionary anti-aging treatment. Maybe the more shitty adults there are out there, people who don't want to end up like them will be able to stay young forever. But these days, there are awesome adults regardless of whether they're over 40 or over 70 which is just TOO BAD.

Strive for volume 70!! Volume 68's about to start--!!!
