Portgas.D.Ace

Portgas D. Ace is a major character from Eiichiro Oda's One Piece, introduced as the adopted older brother of Monkey D. Luffy and the son of Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King. He is the 2nd Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates and is central to the Marineford storyline, where his death becomes one of the series' defining emotional and world-shaping events. In the One Piece Card Game, Ace is a highly collectible flagship character because of his popularity, his Whitebeard Pirates affiliation, and his strong long-term fan demand.

This card was first released in 2024 in the English One Piece Card Game set Carrying on His Will (OP13). The listed card number is OP13-002, and the version in question is the Alternate Art Leader printing.

• It is a Leader card with 3 Life, red/blue color identity, and the Whitebeard Pirates trait.
• Its effect includes a battle-time power reduction by trashing 1 card from hand and a draw trigger when you take damage or when a 6000+ base power Character is KO'd.
• Despite being a Leader, the Alternate Art variant is the collector-focused version and is usually the most sought-after printing of the card.

Condition. Check the front surface for scratches, especially on the foil and border areas, and inspect the back for whitening on corners and edges. Leader cards often show edge wear quickly, and Alternate Art cards can have visible print lines, centering issues, or surface scuffs that materially affect grade. Strong centering is important for high-grade submissions.

Storage. Store the card immediately in a penny sleeve and rigid top loader or card saver, and keep it in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight. For long-term protection, use an inner sleeve plus top loader or magnetic holder, and avoid repeated handling because foil surfaces show fingerprints and micro-scratches easily.

Authenticity. Verify the exact card number OP13-002, correct English text, and the leader frame layout. Compare print quality, font sharpness, and color saturation against known authentic copies; counterfeit One Piece cards often have blurry text, incorrect foil texture, or off-color borders. If buying a high-value graded copy, confirm the cert number with the grading company and ensure the slab label matches the exact alternate art variant.
