Another guy that I feel may warrant inclusion is Marco. He's pretty big shot, it'd be weird if he didn't show up in any Wano cover.
Volume 99 Predictions/Discussion
-
-
I find rather strange to think cover 101 will only portray 4 people in total( 3 SH's and Kaido).
-
Like how Big Mom has Napoleon, Zeus, Prometheus and some random homies, I could see King, Queen and Jack also included with Kaido on that cover.
Tama, Momonuske and Shinobu all feel like potential candidates as well. Momo and Shinobu inbetween Ace and Yamato, seeing as they are the ones being told the story from Yamato would work. Tama could also go there due to her Ace connection but seeing how small she is Oda could throw Tama in with the Strawhats on 101 (which would also create a 4-3-4 layout for the bottom).
I don't think there's space for the All-Stars.
The Homies are likely there to showcase Big Mom's abilities. Kaido will likely be in hybrid form for the same reason.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I had assumed the hook bit at the top was the end of Brook's cane, not the collar of anyone's clothing. I'm just not seeing her there.
Brook's cane tip will likely be in Volume 1000 considering the pose he has.
-
But what if act break in Volume 100, where we find about what happened to Sabo, so on the cover Ace is mirrored by him on the other side. :ninja:

I think that possibility is real. We could even get Ace/Vivi/Hancock/Sabo (which would put all the nakama plus 3 extra Top 10 characters in the cover) due to the events of the intermission.
The problem is that it's likely to not happen in Volume 100. Only chance of it happening is if the Act 3 ends in 1,014 AND 1,015 is included in Volume 100. It's possible, but I feel it's more likely for the act to need to more chapters to end. -

I mean, unless Sabo shows up in next weeks chapter then that won't be the case.
Also it seems like Tama will be on volume 101 paired up with the other Straw Hats which is certainly going to be strong evidence for her as the next Straw Hat.
-
If Ace is on the triple cover spread, I'd be surprised if Oden isn't on it too.
-
And we aren't even sure 100 is going to end with 1015 as 10-chs volumes are being the rule since 96.
I think there's a good chance of Volume 100 having 11 chapters. It's a very special issue, and we haven't had an 11-chapter volume in a while.
-
If Ace is on the triple cover spread, I'd be surprised if Oden isn't on it too.
Why would Oden be on there?
-
Given how much Kid, Law, and Killer have been featured in the last 10+ chapters, it'd be so weird if they weren't on 100 or 101, especially when Oda made room for Big Mom's random homies and that bigass Ace.
-
Brook's cane tip will likely be in Volume 1000 considering the pose he has.
The pose he has in the final version. That early sketchy one has Zoro seemingly in a pose that that doesn't make sense with the bit of his arm we see in the bit of volume 101 and Nami still on volume 99. His placement and pose were simply changed after what we saw.
The edge of volume 101 looks pretty late-stage. But most of the rest is obviously early and would have gone through more iteration and development offscreen, and are more of a general indication of who's in it and where they might be.
I think there's a good chance of Volume 100 having 11 chapters. It's a very special issue, and we haven't had an 11-chapter volume in a while.
I saw someone saying the next-issue preview of Jump confirms 1014 will be the end of volume 100 (and also that there'll be an Onigashima map showing where everyone is after the chapter). It was just some random though, so I'd love a second opinion from a trustworthy Japanese reader. I have strong doubts it would be true, because it's not the kind of thing that usually comes up in Jump promo stuff.
The preview, for anyone curious:

No confirmations if the 1014 will be the end of Vol 100.
About the preview, we will get Onigashima map with character position, the other thing about summer events "not important".

Final Ver
Volume 99 - 100 - 101
-
Bigger version.
-
Volume title " Straw Hat Luffy " .
-
I really cannot believe my eyes!!
Vol. 101 only has 4 characters total!
-
That fan version that Greg approved was really almost spot on, only Yamato's angle is more in profile
-
I guess Tama isn't on the cover then. I like what we've got although the Kaidou one feels like it needs a bit more effect to it to match how bombastic the Big Mom one is.
-
I love how they left Luffy and Kaido in silhouette. Like 'ooh, I wonder who these mysterious characters are.
-
The fan made monster Trio <3
-
Really awesome cover ️️ BM really can be an artistic plus. Kinda funny Luffy doesn't appear on a volume titled after him.
-
I love the final colours. It's so vibrant! I wonder if the background gradient is going to be continuous across the three covers. Big Mom's cloak actually just being black is not something I think anyone guessed, but it works. And there really were a few spot on predictions of who would be on the covers and where. I think the only think I was off-base on was Luffy not towering above Zoro and Sanji on his cover. I'm now more sure than ever that Big Mom/Luffy/Kaido will be the spine images. The full image of this thing is going to be a work of art.
I'm meh on the title though. Just having it be the main character's name feels generic. If that chapter had lined up with volume 100 for the big volume milestone I might've got it (because it was definitely only used where it was to celebrate the 1000 chapter milestone) but volume 99 could have been better with something more attached to its identity as part of the story.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Also, I'm concerned that those two preview pics for 100 and 101 don't actually line up with 99 or each other if you put them right together. The white space in the twitter image is absolutely covering up bits of the full picture. It would be best if the three covers actually formed the full image with their edges touching and didn't have to be a cm apart to avoid misalignments. They'd make a great shelf display piece if handled right.

Volume title " Straw Hat Luffy " .

I thought that they will be there on Vol. 100, but knowing they already appear in 96, it seems to often for the characters which not the central of the whole story (and just appear in the middle of making Sabaody more interesting).
Completely on board with some of the most important Volume become a homage for the Center of story, the Strawhats themselves -
Here's a de-watermarked version of the preview, courtesy of the internet:
-
Yeah, big Luffy!
(Volume 100's cover should have been volume's 99 one, it fits with the place in which Yamato and Ace have their flashback and the title would be Strawhat Luffy, but it wouldn't make sense to push Big Mom's cover to volume 98, so there we have it)
-

I think it's easier to view it as one big cover representing 30 chapters instead of three normal ones that correspond exactly to ten specific chapters.
-
Hahaha still no Carrot.
I’d like to think that if this much has been revealed then there has to be a few surprises left
-
I suppose Volume 100's title will be "Haoshoku" then. It's the only one that makes sense since the others are specific to other characters not involved in the rooftop.
-
wow! The colors are really harmonious for some reason. Design wise…it’s remarkably uninspired. I mean, it’s not bad, it’s just the most basic composition ever.
Kinda lame that the Supernovas were ditched for more Ace wanking, but it is what it is. Anxious to see Hybrid Carpdo in full display, praying to the gods that Oda didn’t make he looking to the side or something silly like that.
In about eight to then days we shall have the first SBS leeks I assume
-
Luffy's upper body is so much bigger than his lower one.
-
Yamato at Luffy's side…she'll be sticking around long after Wano.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
I hope the titles are also connected.
Straw Hat Luffy ~ Future Pirate King ~ Kampai!
Have a feeling that Vol. 100 will be titled "Color of the Supreme King", and maybe 101 will have a chapter titled "Pirate King"
-
@All:
Luffy's upper body is so much bigger than his lower one.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. It will most likely be fixed for the final cover.
For now, Luffy's torso is too compressed and he looks like
-
Wow, I thought there was room for Tama smh. Oh well.
-
Wow, I thought there was room for Tama smh. Oh well.
As a matter of a fact, there was room.
I got the impression she was originally going to be part of Vol. 101, but was left out at the end.
-

I was going off the narrative with being connected to Ace and I wasn't aware of the spacing. Now that I see it, it does add up.
Maybe it's based on the coming chapters where Yamato and his pops go at it and Ace is mentioned. Or it's just to sum up the arc's main players outside of the locals.
-

Yes! This is true. Which is sad, considering that Tama had such an important role for the last chapters, so she deserved that place with the Strawhats
-
So Ace is probably going to be very important in the chapters to come, right?
Maybe we'll get more Flash Backs?
-
Wow @ the the three covers just being two emperors, the strawhats (a future SH) and Ace.
I love how they left Luffy and Kaido in silhouette. Like 'ooh, I wonder who these mysterious characters are.
Whoa there, lets not jump to conclusions.
That could easily be new characters, Blackhat Kluffy and Baido guy with club.
-
Jinbe's cloak here is a different colour to both the current anime opening and his new Vivre Card:]
It's the same, minor variations happen depending on shading, lighting, medium, or how the art was scanned.
In this case, the anime opening has Jinbe under a bright sky why the manga cover… does not. Also different mediums and shading styles.
Considering the anime already changed his outfit in that opening once (and Law's... and unshaded Kawamatsu) I think its fair to say its accurate at this point.

These are straight up different colours. The white middle stripe and grey/black lower bit are way too distinct to just be a scan issue.
The anime has changed a few things in that opening, but still has Chopper in the wrong suit of armour for the raid. It's far from infallible just because it's already had a correction.
Of course there's the matter of Oda occasionally changing his mind on colours, like Jinbe's Fishman Island outfit going from white to green two volume covers apart, or making inking mistakes like filling in Law's hair or Enma the same way he would for the black and white art and not being able to give them their proper colour as a result. This could be a thing like that, but until Oda does more art of Jinbe in this getup to compare and contrast, different colours are what I'm seeing here.
-
Oh, I didn't even notice the cape, I thought you were talking about how dark the brown was in the squares.
Yeah, that's fairly different but also close enough I can write that off as accidents that happen with physical media or Oda doing it from memory without checking.
If he was coloring a big 3 page spread all at once it'd be super easy to just fudge a detail like that.
-
I find it funny that a volume titled 'Straw Hat Luffy' will be one of those rare volumes that doesn't have Luffy included on it lol
-
Shueisha has just received my question for the SBS ! I hope that Oda-Sensei answer my question in the next SBSs !!
Hi Oda Sensei ! I am from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and I am a big fan of One Piece series ! There are many people who love One Piece in my country and I hope to win the presence of being included in the SBS as the first Saudi ever! Please tell me what is the Meito rank for Durandal, Cavendish's sword ?!

Good luck! Hope you make it in!
