Instead of being just a simple cover reveal, seeing an animated video of the cover being made is a treat for One Piece fans.
According to the Tweet, the Volume 103 cover was initially made by series creator Eiichiro Oda digitally. Though it was then completed with “analog” pen and paper.

Even though it’s not the final cover yet, it does confirm the color scheme of Luffy’s Gear Fifth form. As revealed recently, Gear Fifth features Luffy in a nearly all-white outfit with a purple sash for a pop of color.
Alongside Luffy’s Gear Fifth form, the cover also features Kaidou, Trafalgar Law, and Eustass Kid in the foreground.
Here’s a closer look at the Volume 103 sketch by Oda:
Volume 103 will include Chapters 1036 to 1047. It is during these parts of the manga that Luffy unlocks the powerful Gear Fifth transformation, enabling him to transform almost any object into rubber.
