My guess is this:
EDIT: Just read on Sheisha's HP, that it will be out on March 4th!^^
Thank you Ikki-kun, that's an unexpected news.

@Battle:
Chapters: 471 - 481
Release: March 4th, '08
Volume title: The Warrior of Hope
Cover: Nightmare Luffy holding Nami & Usopp, with Moria laughing from inside Odz' stomach in the background.
Coloring: Ideally, deep violet on black. But it'll probably pink on neo green.
SBS Host(s): Oimo & Karsee
you can read that on the first page, and it was said by Battle Franky on December 16th, so it isn't something new, and we're now waiting for the pre-realesed cover.
@M.:

I'm pretty sure that's just his guess for what it was gonna be, as he listed two completely different background-colors…
Vegard Aune: M. A was refering to the release date that ikki-kun and Smoker were treating as comkpletely new information.
obviously M. A knows that everything but the release date were guesses.
Huh, you guessing the release date too Battle Franky?
@Battle:
Not so much guessing, just thought I'd throw it in there somewhere.
That will be the release date.
btw… edited the cover URL into the first post a while ago, (Didn't wanna bump the thread & have people bitch & moan) watch for it there in the next two weeks.
Thanks to shanks from eastblue who took a shot of the cover :
Title nightmare luffy, very nice cover ^^
But why do Luffy turn blue thats ugly. Love the gattai combination of Franky and the others, also if Kuma is one it would properlys spand to around chapter 473 or 474
uhhh and in the background appears kuma…...great cover
Whooooa!!! What great cover! Well, we could expect that from GREAT Oda :D

Title nightmare luffy, very nice cover ^^
The good:
It's got a really nice layout with some apropriate characters.
The bad:
The background and logo is bright green. That looks terrible…
Well, that's my opinion anyway.
Wow… Awesome cover! It has everything! Moria and Kuma, Nami wearing her wedding dress, Lola, Brooke, the SH robot, and nightmare Luffy of course! And though there's so many people on the cover, it's not a mess like cover 47. Definitely one of my favourite OP covers.
Edit : And I also like the green... It contrasts very well with Moria. He looks so much better than on cover 47.
Good cover :)
And also very nice with so many persons on the cover - and the first cover since 32 where all the Straw Hats has been ^^
Totally makes out for 48
OMG!!!
this cover is the best one since 43
RIGHT!!!!! We have a winner here!!! Awesome cover! That background is so sweet and Kuma loooks sooo cool!! Oda can do it right! He got style! But Luffy is little bit too darkblue, more gray please. But it looks cool side of SH battle formation, btw where is Robin on that cover?
I loved Moria's face. He looks so evil.
The cover is great.
holy shit, Luffys blue and Moria looks even more badass!! This is a great volume cover
Awesome cover! I love Moria's expression, but then again, I love all of Moria's expressions.
I didn't expect Nightmare Luffy to be blue. Now he seems even more like a Hulk parody.
Whoa! That cover's jam freakin' packed.
It's like Oda saying sorry for the lackluster 48 cover.
Man Moria looks so sexy. Didn't expect Nightmare Luffy to be blue, though. But yeah, this definitely makes up for 48.
@Battle:
Whoa! That cover's jam freakin' packed.

Right there with ya.
This…..almost makes me feel sorry for liking volume 48. It almost feels like it should come off as cluttered, but somehow Moria's awesome ear-to-ear grin, the giant, blue Nightmare Luffy that takes up half the space, and even all the crew members scurrying around fit together so amazingly well and balanced.
So damn brilliant.
Wow, that cover is SO beautiful. It's so beautiful that I said it aloud to myself. :D
ODA. Keep this type of cover up~! D:
But it looks cool side of SH battle formation, btw where is Robin on that cover?
I think she's standing behind the "battle robot".
Awesome cover…
Wowza, great cover. Pretty much everything is thrown in there. Never would have Luffy to have blue skin, but somehow it works well with this entire theme of Thriller Bark. He looks like Freakazoid on steroids.^^
As far as the background color is concerned. I don´t know why the green should be a problem. But then again I never saw a problem in any of the backroung colors. The more colorful and different the better me likes it.^^
Great cover. Wasn't expecting Nightmare Luffy to be blue.
Best part of the cover is Robin turned away from the Big Emperor.
Nightmare Luffy is blue and Odz with Luffy's shadow is red. Anyone else notice a trend here?
Awesome cover, though. I especially love the inclusion of 'Big Emperor' since it sets up how they're fighting as a team throughout the volume as well as the emperor being an overall representation of all of their combo attacks. That, and emperor is just awesome.
….
Best cover ever? Seriously, that's amazing, Nightmare Luffy looks awesome, Moria looks awesome, and HOLY SHIT STRAWHAT MECHiodsfouwerug89ogeras. It's like a dream come true.
EDIT: Where's Robin?
Lol what a clusterfuck of a cover.
Clusterfuck being used as the most awesome way possible.
One of Oda's better covers.
Though I wonder what's left to be put on the last TB cover, I think that covered it all
edit: who's in the very back, behind the Strawhats?
oh nvm, it's Robin facing the opposite way I guess?

Behind the SHs is Robin, kinda hard to see. And as for the last cover, we'll leave that to the volume 50 predictions thread which is bound to pop up soon.
Hahahaha. I see now, she's refusing to join in the cover antics.
I thought it was a random zombie with a guitar (Brook's cane).
Ohhh the cover is nice!!! I like how they put Nami in her "wedding" dress for some reason XD Oh and Robin is standing there facing the background isn't she?
Btw, is the release date March 4th?
Volume 49 looks awesome,I like the idea of Nightmare Luffy being blue
Yes! Docking FTW!
I was hoping for Docking Six to appear.

Wowz, that looks awesome D:
Moria looks sick :D and, Nightmare Luffy is.. BLUE? Interesting.
EDIT: Haha.. Zoro is one of the the smallest on the cover. Even SANJI is larger then him.
Holy shit. I'm seriously in love with that cover. That has got to be one of his best yet. God damn. Thats amazing.
EDIT : Any news on how many chapters it goes up to? And when do you guys think it will be available in Shueisha books or whatever?
Haha, oh wow that's great.
Great cover, one of the better ones so far
I don't really know why everyone is surprised whit nightmare Luffy is blue, when i first time saw him in manga i imagined him blue right away.
That is a FANTASTIC cover!!!!!
wow…..AWESOME !!!
thx
That's a really awesome looking cover, I must say. Nightmare Luffy, Straw Hat Robot, and all that good stuff.
Oda really pulled out all the stops with this one.
Brilliant.
I have that Moria pic reserved as an av once a high quality version is available.
That cover more than makes up for the disappointment that was the last one.
I was sort of hoping that Kuma's robotic parts would be exposed though. Ah well.
The best thing about that cover is Moria by far.
Love that scheming look on his face.

That's not even in this volume though. That'll be in volume 50.
Cover comment: LUFFY SMASH! Sort of thought Odz was going to show up but Kuma's a nice substitute. (though it was hard to see Lola for a moment)
Hey look at kuma, he still has his orange suit. Maybe the anime will change it to this suit rather than that wierd black one he had.
