One Piece Carrying On His Will (OP-13): The Set Spotlight

One Piece Carrying On His Will is the One Piece Card Game's official third-anniversary set, released August 23, 2025 in Japan as "Inherited Will" and November 7, 2025 globally as "Carrying On His Will" (set code OP-13, MSRP $4.99 USD per pack, 12 cards per pack EN, 24 packs per booster box at ~$119.76 MSRP). It introduces six new Leader cards — Monkey D. Luffy, Portgas D. Ace, Sabo, Gol D. Roger (the first Leader with 7,000 base power, the highest in the entire OPTCG per Bandai), Imu (the secretive Empty Throne sovereign who has redefined the competitive meta), and Jewelry Bonney — and centers on the Three Brothers' Sakazuki ceremony from the Mt. Colubo flashback arc. This guide walks the full set spec, the Three Brothers thematic anchor, the chase-card pricing table across JP, EUR, and EN markets (including the PSA 10 Luffy Red Super Parallel that has crossed $20,000 per Beckett News), the community-tracked pull-rate honesty Bandai itself does not publish, the post-release meta reality (three Tier-1 leaders from one set, unprecedented in OPTCG history), and the sealed-vs-singles buyer decision. For the broader One Piece TCG context — every set from OP-01 forward, the color identity system, the Don!! mechanic, the card-type framework — see the pillar Complete One Piece Cards Guide. Pullmarket, operated by Pullmarket LLC, runs this as the buyer's-perspective deep dive — set spec first, headline chase second, honest math throughout.

What Is OP-13 Carrying On His Will? The Third-Anniversary Set, Explained

OP-13 Carrying On His Will is the official third-anniversary commemorative set for the One Piece Card Game, which Bandai launched in 2022. The Japanese release dropped on August 23, 2025 under the title "Inherited Will" (受け継がれる意志), and the English worldwide release followed on November 7, 2025 as "Carrying On His Will" — both share the same OP-13 set code, the same 132-card base print run, and the same six debut Leader cards. English tournament-legal status activated on November 14, 2025, seven days post-release per standard OPTCG ruling. The "Inherited Will" / "Carrying On His Will" name refers to Monkey D. Luffy carrying the will of his brother Ace and grandfather Gol D. Roger — the spine of the entire One Piece manga and the through-line that makes this set the most emotionally weighted product Bandai has shipped in OPTCG history.

The Three Brothers and the Sakazuki Ceremony (Set Theme)

The Sakazuki ceremony is OP-13's emotional anchor and the reason the set's packaging, parallel treatment, and chase trio all lean red. Per the One Piece Wiki canon at the Sakazuki Ceremony entry, Luffy, Ace, and Sabo performed an informal Kyoudai-Sakazuki (brothers-bond sake ceremony) as children on Mt. Colubo after Ace stole sake from his foster mother Dadan — recounted across Chapters 583–586 in the Marineford and Goa Kingdom flashback arcs of the One Piece manga. The three swore to become brothers and to pursue their dreams separately. Ace took the Whitebeard Pirates path. Sabo became a Revolutionary Army commander. Luffy stayed on the Sunny chasing One Piece. The OPTCG's third anniversary needed a thematic centerpiece, and the Three Brothers — the protagonist, the older brother whose Marineford death is the emotional fulcrum of the entire series, and the resurrected younger brother now leading the Revolutionary Army — sit at the highest-stakes emotional core in One Piece canon.

• "The Flame" aesthetic motif — red-themed packaging, red-wash parallel treatments, and the new Red Super Parallel rarity tier extend the brotherhood metaphor from Ace's Fire-Fire Devil Fruit through the entire set.
• The Three Brothers Super Rare card — features Luffy, Ace, and Sabo together on a single Red Super Rare, a collector-favorite that also plugs into Red competitive strategies.
• OP13-118 / OP13-119 / OP13-120 — the three Secret Rare slots in the set are assigned to Luffy, Ace, and Sabo respectively, with the Manga Rare (Super Alt-Art) and 3rd Anniversary Red Super Parallel printings stacked on top of those base SECs.
• Why this set, why now — OPTCG launched in 2022; the third-anniversary set is the deliberate commemorative moment, and Bandai marketed it as "the most ambitious OPTCG product to date" across the JP and EN release windows.

OP-13 Set Spec: 132 Cards, 175 Variants, Rarity Breakdown

OP-13 ships 132 unique cards in the base print run per SNKRDUNK Magazine's confirmed rarity breakdown cross-checked against Bandai's official portal. When you stack parallel printings, the new Super Alt-Art treatment, Wanted Poster variants, Red Super Parallels, Ghost Rare / Demon Pack chase, and the cross-set reprints from OP07 / OP09 / OP10 / OP11 / EB02 that appear in OP-13 booster packs at lower frequencies, the Limitless OPTCG database tracks 175 total entries for the set — meaningfully larger than the headline 132-card count suggests.

The new piece of OPTCG vocabulary OP-13 introduces: Super Alt-Art. Per TCGplayer's set primer the rarity formerly called "Manga Rare" was rebranded "Super Alt-Art" with this release, so the OP13-118 Luffy "Manga Rare" and OP13-118 Luffy "Super Alt-Art" are the same physical printing — the Three Brothers trio in stylized manga-line art with a borderless full-art treatment that sits above the base SEC and below the Red Super Parallel grail tier. Worth knowing before you read a TCGplayer or Limitless listing using either term.

The Six Debut Leaders (and Why Three Are Tier-1)

Six Leader cards debut in OP-13, and per Spell Mana's OP-13 meta tier list plus One Piece Top Decks tournament tracking plus the Limitless tournament database, three of them landed at Tier-1 simultaneously — Imu, Gol D. Roger, and Portgas D. Ace — which is unprecedented in OPTCG history. Most prior OPTCG sets produce zero or one Tier-1 Leader at launch. Three from one set redefined the competitive meta in JP from August 2025 and held that shape in EN from November 2025 forward.

• Monkey D. Luffy (OP13-118, Red/Green) — Three Brothers Leader anchor. DON!! card-manipulation focus. Mid-tier competitively but the collector-favorite of the six, with the base SEC printing supporting the Manga Rare / Wanted Poster / Parallel / Red Super Parallel variant ladder above.
• Portgas D. Ace (OP13-119, Red/Blue) — Whitebeard Pirates aggro. Tier-1 EN and JP with Edward Newgate as a Blocker staple and Yamato as an early-game draw enabler. The "safe" tournament pick from OP-13 — collectors who care about playability and consistency lean Ace.
• Sabo (OP13-120, Red/Black) — Revolutionary Army color identity. Mid-tier competitively, collector-favorite at the chase tier; the OP13-120 Manga Rare Sabo trades roughly $740 raw per RareCards.nl.
• Gol D. Roger (OP13-007, Red/Purple) — the first OPTCG Leader with 7,000 base power, the highest in the entire game per Bandai's official product copy. Ramp strategy built around the high base power answers Imu's pressure. Tier-1 EN and JP.
• Imu (Black) — the Empty Throne sovereign. Summons the Five Elders mechanic (which ties directly into the Ghost Rare / Demon Pack chase tier — see H5). Dominated JP from August 2025, held Tier-1 in EN from November 2025. The single most consequential Leader OP-13 produced.
• Jewelry Bonney (Yellow) — Egghead Arc focus with Trigger effects. Mid-tier competitively; brings Yellow color identity into the new Egghead-Arc card pool.

As of early 2026, 101+ decks are registered in the opmetagame.com / Limitless database with OP-13 cards as core pieces. Imu, Roger, and Ace collectively occupy roughly 60% of Tier-1 metashare across EN regionals, JP flagship events, and the broader tournament scene. For competitive players, OP-13 is the most consequential single-set release in OPTCG history. For collectors, the Three Brothers narrative carries the emotional weight regardless of competitive viability. For the cross-set Luffy chronology — every Luffy across every OPTCG set, the Boundman / Snakeman / Gear 5 / Joy Boy variants — see the One Piece Luffy cards guide.

OP-13 Chase Cards: The $20k Manga Luffy Trio and the Demon Pack Elders

The chase tier in OP-13 is unusually stratified for a single set, and the top three slabs all belong to the Three Brothers. Per Beckett News' anniversary checklist coverage, the English-market PSA 10 Monkey D. Luffy Red Super Parallel has crossed $20,000+ market valuation — the headline figure that anchors the entire chase tier and the reason serious OP-13 collectors treat the set as a generational release rather than a wave-by-wave product.

The 3rd Anniversary Red Super Parallel variants of Luffy 118, Ace 119, and Sabo 120 are OP-13's true ceilings. The European raw market via RareCards.nl's top-20 chase-card table puts Luffy raw at roughly €7,155 (~$7,500 USD) and PSA 10 at €18,877 (~$20k+ USD). The Japanese market via Samurai Sword Tokyo's pull-rate and pricing analysis tracks Luffy Red Super Parallel at ¥350,000 (~$2,333 USD raw JP), Ace at ¥300,000 (~$2,000 USD raw JP), and Sabo at ¥230,000 (~$1,533 USD raw JP). The English raw market per Slab-Z's most-expensive coverage tracks Luffy raw $2,000–$3,300 and Ace raw $2,100–$3,750 on eBay sales. The Three Brothers Manga Rare / Super Alt-Art tier sits the next level down — RareCards.nl tracks raw OP13-118 Luffy Manga Rare at €1,627 (~$1,700 USD), PSA 10 at €5,339 (~$5,600 USD).

The unique mechanic OP-13 introduces alongside this chase ladder is the Ghost Rare / Demon Pack — a rare booster pack inserted at the community-tracked ~1-in-120-to-240-box rate (more on the framing in H6). Crack one and you pull a complete 5-card Ghost Rare set of the Five Elders (Gorosei) — St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro (OP13-080), St. Jaygarcia Saturn (OP13-083), St. Shepherd Ju Peter (OP13-084), St. Topman Warcury (OP13-089), and St. Mark Mars (OP13-091) — each illustrated by Gege Akutami, the author of Jujutsu Kaisen, in both standard art and demon-form variants. Complete 5-card red Elder Demon Pack sets have sold for $2,250–$5,000 USD on eBay per Slab-Z. This is OPTCG's first manga-author collaboration of this scale and a major differentiator vs prior sets.

OP-13 Pull Rates: What an EN Booster Box Actually Yields

Bandai does not publish per-rarity odds for the One Piece Card Game. Every pull-rate figure in this section is community-tracked across booster-box opens, not Bandai-published odds — the same framing every OPTCG editorial outlet honest about its sourcing has had to use since the game launched in 2022. The most-cited English-language source is Samurai Sword Tokyo's March 2026 community tally, drawn across their own booster-box opens plus reader submissions. Treat the table below as community estimates, not guaranteed rates.

The practical math worth walking before you spend $120 on a sealed box. At the SEC ~1-in-1-to-2-box rate, the average EN booster box (24 packs, $4.99/pack, ~$120 MSRP) yields about one Secret Rare on average — but the OP-13 set has three SECs (Luffy 118, Ace 119, Sabo 120), so the effective per-card SEC rate for a specific Manga Rare is closer to 1 in 3 to 6 boxes. If your only goal is the OP13-118 Luffy Manga Rare specifically, you're statistically looking at $360–$720 in sealed product on average to land that one specific card. If your goal is the Red Super Parallel Luffy at the ~1-in-200+ box rate, you'd need to rip roughly $24,000+ in sealed boxes for an even-money chance — which is exactly why most collectors target that card as a single from the secondary market rather than chase it through retail boxes. The sealed-vs-singles decision math in H7 walks this in detail.

Sealed Product: Booster Box vs Booster Case vs Singles

Four buy paths exist for OP-13 in early 2026, and the right one depends entirely on which chase you're after — the playable competitive Leaders, the Three Brothers Manga Rare trio, the Red Super Parallel grails, or simply the rip experience itself. Configuration figures cross-reference TCGplayer's "Everything We Know About OP-13" set primer, Samurai Sword Tokyo, and Search Underground TCG's secondary-market analysis.

The sealed-vs-singles math worth walking carefully. If your only goal is the Manga Rare Luffy 118, a raw single is ~$1,700 per RareCards.nl. To hit that specific card on average from sealed at ~1-in-3-to-6-boxes, you'd rip ~$360–$720 in sealed boxes expected — sealed is the better expected-value path for the Manga Rare tier, and you get every other card from the boxes as a side effect. If your goal is the Red Super Parallel Luffy at $7,500 raw, sealed-rip math is $24,000+ in boxes for an even-money chance — the single is clearly better than ripping at the Red SP tier. Different chase, different decision.

A short, plain note on the Pullmarket alternative. Alongside sealed retail boxes, Pullmarket publishes per-pack odds before purchase and delivers every pull as a real third-party-graded slab — held in Pullmarket's own insured, climate-controlled custody or sourced from verified supplier and partner-vault inventory per Terms §5.5. Every pulled slab carries a verifiable cert number that resolves on PSA, SGC, or CGC's own website. Pullmarket Gems is store credit, not cash; Pullmarket is not a gambling, wagering, or cash-prize product. Different path, same goal — a real graded card in your name. See /one-piece-packs.

OP-13's Meta Impact: Three Tier-1 Leaders From One Set

The competitive fingerprint of OP-13 — and the reason the set's spec-vs-meta integration matters — is the unprecedented three Tier-1 Leaders from a single set. Per Spell Mana's OP-13 + EB-03 combined meta tier list cross-referenced against One Piece Top Decks tournament data and Limitless's tournament-results database, no prior OPTCG set has produced three Tier-1 Leaders simultaneously at launch. Most sets produce zero or one. Imu, Roger, and Ace from OP-13 redefined the competitive game and the post-release tier list still has them as the dominant trio.

• Imu (Black) dominated JP meta from August 2025 release and held Tier-1 in EN from November 2025 forward. The Empty Throne / Five Elders summoning mechanic is the central engine — Imu summons Five Elders from a stacked deck of OP-13 Black support cards, which ties the chase tier (Ghost Rare Demon Pack Five Elders by Gege Akutami) directly to the competitive engine in a way no prior OPTCG set has integrated mechanically.
• Gol D. Roger (Red/Purple) answers Imu's pressure with ramp built around the 7,000-base-power Leader. Roger is the highest base-power Leader Bandai has shipped in OPTCG. The Red/Purple two-color identity opens a brand-new deck-building axis that didn't exist before OP-13.
• Portgas D. Ace (Red/Blue) stays the consistent Tier-1 Red aggro pick for tournament players who want a stable option rather than the volatility of Imu's deck-cycling. Edward Newgate Blocker staple, Yamato early-draw enabler, Whitebeard Pirates support pool from prior OPTCG sets — all click into the OP-13 Ace shell cleanly.
• Luffy / Sabo / Bonney remain mid-tier competitively. The Three Brothers SR card that features all three brothers plugs into multiple Red strategies; the Bonney Yellow shell is a collector-and-casual play.
• Post-ban context — as the OPTCG ban-list and EB-03 mini-set landed in early 2026, the Spell Mana combined tier list still has Imu, Roger, and Ace as the dominant trio. Cite the latest tier list at decision time.

For the OP-12 preceding wave — the April 2025 JP / July 2025 EN release that set up OP-13's competitive context — see the One Piece Awakening of the New Era guide. For deeper tournament decklist data, One Piece Top Decks' OP-13 deck hub is the live competitive supplement.

The Vault Question: Custody on $1,700–$20,000 Cards

A $1,700 raw OP13-118 Manga Luffy is already at the price point where most home-storage solutions — toploaders, binders, even card-saver-plus-magnetic combos — fall meaningfully short on theft, environmental, and insurance fronts. A PSA 10 Manga Luffy at $5,600+ is firmly into the tier where slabbed custody plus insured storage is the rational collector path. A Red Super Parallel Luffy at $20,000+ PSA 10 is at the price point where many serious collectors choose third-party vault custody outright — bank safe deposit boxes, dedicated collectibles vault services, or hybrid platform custody — over keeping the slab at home. For sibling context on the broader Three Brothers chase ladder including Ace and Sabo at the same Red SP tier, see the One Piece Heroines booster pack guide for the cross-set Heroines / Three Brothers / Special-product disambiguation (the EB-02 Heroines product line is a separate adjacent collector tier, not part of OP-13).

Pullmarket's hybrid custody answer for cards at this tier sits inside the Terms §5.5 framework. Every pulled card is either held in Pullmarket's own insured, climate-controlled custody or sourced from verified supplier and partner-vault inventory. Either path delivers a real third-party-graded slab with a verifiable cert number that resolves directly on PSA, SGC, or CGC's own website. For an OP-13 Manga Luffy or a Red Super Parallel grail, the collector can hold the slab in the Vault, ship it home, trade it on-platform, or sell it back to Pullmarket for Pullmarket Gems — which is store credit, not cash. The full rip-decide-vault-ship-trade-sell-back loop is documented on how Pullmarket works; the trust position is on is Pullmarket legit.

Is OP-13 Carrying On His Will Worth Ripping in 2026?

Three buyer types map cleanly onto the OP-13 buy decision. The honest answer to "is OP-13 worth ripping" depends on which one you are.

1. The Three Brothers collector. You want the OP13-118 Manga Luffy specifically, or the Red Super Parallel trio. For the Manga Rare tier, sealed-rip math at $360–$720 expected per specific 118 SEC beats the $1,700 single — sealed is the better path if you're willing to chase across a few boxes. For the Red Super Parallel grail at $7,500+ raw / $20k+ PSA 10, sealed math doesn't beat singles at any reasonable sample size — target as a single from the secondary market, not as a rip. Use sealed only if you genuinely enjoy the rip experience and consider the Red SP chase a bonus rather than the goal.
2. The set collector. You want the 132-card base set plus the meta-relevant SRs and SR Parallels. A booster case ($1,400–$1,500 secondary) delivers ~12 SECs, meaningful SP density, and roughly a 5–10% chance at a Red Super Parallel somewhere in the case. Efficient for set-builders, expensive at the case price tier. Many set collectors split a case across a group buy.
3. The competitive player. You want the Imu / Roger / Ace playable Leaders plus the meta-relevant SRs (Edward Newgate, Yamato, the Five Elders, Whitebeard Pirates support). Build via singles plus a booster bundle for the rip experience. The Three Brothers chase tier doesn't change tournament play — Tier-1 decks run base Leaders and base SRs, not Manga Rares. Save your chase money for the secondary-market singles you actually need.

Ripping sealed retail boxes is one path. Pullmarket runs a different path — every One Piece pack publishes its odds before purchase, and every pull is delivered as a real third-party-graded slab held in Pullmarket's own insured custody or sourced from verified supplier and partner-vault inventory per Terms §5.5. After the pull, hold the slab in the Vault, ship the physical card, trade it, or sell back for Pullmarket Gems (store credit, not cash). Different path, same goal — a real PSA / CGC / SGC graded OPTCG card in your name. See /one-piece-packs.
