Cover and Volume Illustration
The colored cover is pink, and the title logo is light blue (fading from white), dark blue, and gray. The author's name is written in dark blue.

On the front outside cover, Luffy stands in the center, with his excited gaze directed upward. To Luffy's right, from top to bottom, are Neptune, Chopper, Pappag, and Camie. To his left, from top to bottom, are Megalo, a lovestruck Sanji, and Surume. Above him are the Medaka Mermaid Quintuplets with several colorful fish swimming over them. In the background is Fishman Island, with a rainbow and several mermaids from Mermaid Cafe.

Sanji (with Mero's smiling face in the background) and Camie are featured on the spine, and the skull logo on the spine is colored hot pink.

For the volume illustration on page 3, Luffy happily poses with a piece of meat in his left hand.

Inside Cover

 * Due to this volume being published right after the Great East Japan Earthquake, there is a hidden alternate front cover for this volume that features an illustration (by the author) of the Straw Hat Pirates sending out words of encouragement to the earthquake victims.

Trivia
Because the alternate front cover of this volume was taken up by this illustration, the title logo for the series had to be moved to the back alternate cover of this volume; hence making this the first volume to not have the official One Piece logo printed on its alternate front cover.
 * There is an original illustration of Luffy on page 7 of this volume.
 * The inside front cover of this volume, along with Volume 15, Volume 19, Volume 38, Volume 52, and Volume 56, is completely different from the outside cover. It features an illustration by the author encouraging victims of the Great Easter Japan Earthquake.

 * The easter egg series continues on the alternate back cover of this volume, with an unnamed easteregg and Pandaman being featured.
