Each card has been crafted to capture unique details that pay homage to the world of One Piece, making these decks a cherished choice among fans of the series.

 

 

Each of the nine decks in this collection has been designed to represent a different member of the charismatic Straw Hat Pirates group, including Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Franky, and Brook. The essence of each character comes to life through monochromatic illustrations, providing fans of “One Piece” and card enthusiasts with a unique experience.
