Market outlook
Stable Outlook 6/10
Demand for Luffy remains strong across the One Piece market, but this specific card’s value is tempered by deck-product availability and the existence of multiple closely related print versions.
Next months. Likely to trade within a relatively tight range unless a broader One Piece surge lifts deck-era alt arts.
Long term. Modest appreciation is possible if One Piece collecting continues expanding, with the best upside tied to high-grade copies and clearly differentiated English copies.
History
Monkey.D. Luffy is the protagonist of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece, the long-running pirate adventure manga and anime. He is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, a symbol of freedom and determination, and one of the most recognizable characters in modern manga culture. His Gear transformations and connection to the Will of D make him one of the franchise’s most important figures.
The card appears to have first been released in 2024 as part of the Japanese Ultra Deck: The Three Brothers (ST-13), with English-language distribution following through localized One Piece Card Game releases and market listings.
- The provided card details appear to be inconsistent: ST13-004 is associated with Edward.Newgate in the ST-13 product, while Monkey.D.Luffy is typically another number in the same deck.
- The set name "Two Legends" is not the original ST13 product name; ST-13 is widely identified as Ultra Deck: The Three Brothers / The Three Brothers.
- Alt-art variants generally have lower supply than the base version and are the primary collectible version for this card line.

Collector notes
Condition. Check centering, edge whitening, corner wear, surface scratches, and print-line defects. Alt-art foils are especially prone to micro-scratches, roller marks, and border whitening on dark or saturated areas.
Storage. Store in a perfect-fit sleeve, then a top loader or semi-rigid holder. Keep away from UV light, humidity, and pressure; use a binder only with side-loading, acid-free pages.
Authenticity. Verify the card number, set code, foil pattern, and print quality. Authentic One Piece cards should have crisp text, clean registration, and consistent stock thickness; fake copies often show blurry text, incorrect sheen, or washed-out color. Compare against a known authentic copy when possible.
