One Piece Card Game OP-16 The Time of Battle Brings the Marineford War June 12
One Piece Card Game OP-16 The Time of Battle hits the West June 12 with six new Leaders and three admiral Manga Rares. Here is what players and collectors should chase.
The Summit War Comes to the One Piece Card Game
One of the most requested storylines in all of One Piece is finally getting its moment on the table. The Time of Battle (OP-16) lands in the West on June 12, 2026, built around the Paramount War and the unforgettable clash at Marineford. For players and collectors who have been waiting since the early Paramount War set, this is the payoff.
Six New Leaders
OP-16 introduces six fresh Leader cards, giving deck builders a wave of new directions to explore:
- Red Portgas D. Ace
- Blue/Green Monkey D. Luffy
- Blue Buggy
- Purple Sengoku
- Black Yamato
- Black/Yellow Marshall D. Teach
That spread touches nearly every color identity, which usually means a healthy shakeup for the competitive metagame in the weeks after release.
The Chase: Manga Rares
For collectors, the headline pulls are three Manga Rares unique to this set, each spotlighting a Marine admiral in striking black-and-white manga styling: Borsalino, Sakazuki, and Kuzan. Manga-style cards have been some of the most sought-after chases in the entire One Piece Card Game, and admiral versions are likely to be no exception.
Three admiral Manga Rares headline the chase, and they are exactly the kind of card that drives secondary-market demand long after launch.
Prerelease and What Else Drops
Prerelease events run June 5 through 11 in both Sealed and Constructed formats, with a Marineford Luffy promo for entrants and a stamped Winner variant for those who take the top spot. The same June 12 window also brings the Skypiea-themed booster and Double Pack Set DP-11, making it a big day for the game on both sides of the counter.
If you collect One Piece, plan your June 12 pickups early. Admiral chases plus a fan-favorite arc is a recipe for product moving fast.
