Volume 27

Volume 27 is titled "Overture".

Cover and Volume Illustration
The background is cool dark gray, in contrast to the title, which is of a warm dark grey color. The title also happens to feature a pair of white wings. The author's name is written in white.

The cover's mid-section is split into four smaller sections, each featuring one of Enel's Priests: Shura, Satori, Gedatsu and Ohm. In the foreground, Monkey D. Luffy is winking at the reader and donning a pair of wings similar to the ones Skypieans have.
