Volume 50

Volume 50 is titled "Arriving Once Again".

Cover
The outside colored cover is black, with the background of the portraits being red orange. The title logo is yellow, black, and purple (fading from white) with the skull on fire. The author's name is written in purple.

Above the title logo are two portraits of Nami. The one on the right is a wide shot of her doing a stereotypical seductive pose while the one on the left is an up-close shot of her face from the right portrait. Below the logo are portraits of Brook, Luffy, and Zoro, each bandaged and nursing injuries. Brook, on the right, is on one knee and getting back up; Luffy, in the center, is biting on a bandage while in a fighting pose; Zoro, on the left, is sticking out his outstretched hand while holding Shusui above his head with his other hand. The Mast Mansion is in the background of each portrait.

Author's Notes
(Translator's Note: In Japanese, the way of saying the english word for "Yes" [イエス; iesu] is pronounced and written the same way as the Japanese way of saying "Jesus" [イエス; iesu]- hence, this could also be taken as a pun.)

Trivia

 * The cover of this volume is different from other volumes, as the title logo is moved down to 1/3 the cover's length and the fact that it is surrounded by flames. This was likely done to commemorate the fiftieth volume of One Piece.
