Volume 67

Volume 67 is titled "COOL FIGHT".

Cover and Volume Illustration
The colored cover background fades from dark blue to purple to white with black stripes, and the title logo is peach and tan gold. The author's name is written in yellow orange.

On the front, Luffy is at the bottom. The four bodyswapped Straw Hats are on both sides of him, while the bodyswapped Smoker and Tashigi are above. To their right is Kin'emon's severed head while to their left is Monet, whose wing takes up a large portion of the left side.

On the spine, Smoker (in Tashigi's body) is featured.

For the volume illustration on page 3, Luffy grins and holds a bouquet of roses and miniature versions of the rest of the Straw Hats sit around the flowers.
