Wonderful action and great colour. The waves and water splashes look really cool. I love the Money King;s facial expression: a troublemaker, powerful and wild!

There is one major error in the composition that I'm certain is completely unintentional and not coming out of any form of malice but will certain cause problems. I would avoid controversy and remove the swastika, or change it slightly. I know that it is an ancient symbol the predates Nazis by thousands of years, but in this day and age it is absolutely guaranteed to offend people unintentionally and you want the focus to be on your wonderful art rather than politics. If you don't get rid of it there will be problems and in certain countries it is illegal to publish a book with it on the cover, even when the story itself has nothing whatsoever to do with Nazis and even if it is a mirror image, etc.

Keep up the great work, you are a very talented artist!
