One Piece Card Game OP-17: the cards to know, Manga Rares and set highlights

OP-17 – The World's Strongest Warriors arrived internationally at the end of August 2026. An anniversary set for the One Piece Card Game, OP-17 stands out both for its iconic characters and for the number of cards aimed at collectors.

Between Rocks D. Xebec, Monkey D. Luffy, Shanks, Edward Newgate, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, the set gathers some of the most sought-after characters in the One Piece universe.

But which OP-17 cards are really worth watching? Which new rarities appear in the set? And can OP-17 become a particularly interesting set to keep sealed?

OP-17: a particularly ambitious anniversary set

OP-17 follows in the footsteps of the great anniversary sets of the One Piece Card Game.

The base set includes 6 Leaders, 45 Commons, 30 Uncommons, 26 Rares and 10 Super Rares, plus Secret Rares and numerous parallel and special versions.

• Edward Newgate – Red
• Shanks – Green
• Rocks D. Xebec – Blue
• Kaido – Purple
• Monkey D. Luffy – Black
• Charlotte Linlin – Yellow

A particularly strong selection for collectors, as it brings together several generations of major characters.

The Manga Rares of OP-17

This is probably one of the elements that give OP-17 most of its identity. The set features Manga Rare treatments dedicated to four former Emperors:

• Edward Newgate – OP17-005: Whitebeard gets a Manga version that is particularly symbolic for collectors.
• Shanks – OP17-022: unsurprisingly, Shanks is among the set's major cards to collect.
• Kaido – OP17-062: Kaido also gets a Manga version, while another alternate version of his card was illustrated by Keisuke Itagaki, creator of Baki.
• Charlotte Linlin – OP17-112: Big Mom completes this group dedicated to the former Emperors.

This consistency makes the four cards particularly interesting as a collection set, beyond the individual value of each one.

Rocks D. Xebec: one of the stars of OP-17

You cannot talk about the set without Rocks. Rocks D. Xebec takes a central place in OP-17, notably with OP17-118.

The set also introduces a particularly spectacular treatment putting a character in the foreground with their crew behind them. Rocks appears accompanied by the Rocks Pirates.

For collectors who follow both the manga and the TCG, Rocks obviously has special potential: he is an extremely important character in One Piece history and is now much more present in the card game.

Luffy and the new rarities of OP-17

Monkey D. Luffy also receives special treatment. OP-17 introduces several particularly elaborate parallel types, including the Super Leader Parallel and the Pirate Crew Super Alt Art. One version of Luffy Gear 5 shows him in front of the Straw Hat crew.

The set also includes special cards tied to the fourth anniversary and treatments inspired by Supreme King Haki.

For Bandai, OP-17 clearly was not designed as a standard set: it deliberately multiplies cards aimed at the collector market.

What about the Treasure Rare?

OP-17 also has a Treasure Rare, but there is a very interesting particularity: the card depends on the language.

For French displays, it is Charlotte Katakuri OP17-103. The English version features Edward Newgate, while the Japanese version uses Lucky Roux.

This is a difference worth knowing before buying an OP-17 display solely to chase a specific card. Also be careful with figures circulating about the odds of pulling the rarest cards: Bandai does not publish official pull rates, so available estimates mainly come from community openings.

Should you open or keep an OP-17 display sealed?

That is obviously the big question for collectors. Opening a display lets you chase the Manga Rares, parallels and other special cards of the set. But keeping a display sealed follows a completely different logic.

OP-17 has several interesting characteristics for sealed product collectors: it is an anniversary set, it gathers several extremely popular characters and it introduces new collector treatments.

That obviously does not mean an OP-17 display will necessarily gain value. The future price will depend on the printed quantity, possible reprints and demand for the set.

But for a One Piece display collector, OP-17 is undeniably one of the landmark sets of 2026.

Protecting an OP-17 display

A display kept for several years can suffer scuffs, accumulate dust or be damaged during handling.

That is exactly why we developed our rigid acrylic cases for One Piece Card Game displays at Treasure Sealed. The case keeps the display visible while adding a real physical barrier around its packaging.

Important: always check the dimensions of your display before choosing a case. Some older One Piece displays use different formats.

OP-17: a set designed for players and collectors alike

Above all, OP-17 manages to bring two audiences together. Players get new Leaders and new cards to build their decks, while collectors can chase Manga Rares, Treasure Rares, parallels and anniversary treatments.

Rocks D. Xebec, Luffy, Shanks, Whitebeard, Kaido and Big Mom also give the set a particularly strong identity.

Only days after its international release, it is still too early to know which cards will hold the highest long-term valuations. One thing is certain, though: OP-17 is among the most ambitious One Piece Card Game sets of 2026.
