One Piece Card Game OP-17: “The World’s Strongest Warriors” — Release Date and Set Features

The next massive booster pack for the One Piece Card Game, “The World’s Strongest Warriors” [OP-17], is officially set to drop in Japan on Saturday, August 22, 2026.

Serving as the grand celebration for the game’s 4th anniversary, this highly anticipated set heavily focuses on the legendary Four Emperors (Yonko) and the powerhouse characters debuting in the Elbaf Arc.

From the Elbaf storyline, fans can look forward to cards featuring Loki, the Cursed Prince who boldly claims the title of the “Sun God who will bring the end of the world,” alongside Monkey D. Luffy rocking epic giant-clan armor.

But the real crowd-pleaser here is the lineup for high-end collectors. The original Four Emperors—Edward Newgate (Whitebeard), Shanks, Kaido, and Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom)—are all getting the jaw-dropping “Manga Rare” (Super Parallel) treatment. Combined with the debut of two brand-new rarities, “Super Leader Parallel” and “Conqueror’s Haki Special Card,” this set is already sending the TCG community into absolute overdrive.

Predicted Cards for OP-17: The Giants of Elbaf Island

“Elbaf Island” is the legendary island where the giant warriors reside. They have established a kingdom called “Warland,” which is non-affiliated with the World Government. It is feared across the Grand Line as “the world’s strongest kingdom” due to their historical conquest of the New World in ancient times and the terrifying, century-old legends of the Giant Warrior Pirates.

During the BANDAI CARD GAMES Next Plan Announcement livestream on June 18, a card for “Loki,” the prince of Warland, was officially unveiled. Because of this high-profile reveal, the TCG community highly expects that other iconic giants, such as “Brogy,” will also secure their own playable card variants in this upcoming set.
