Top 10 Cards from OP-13 Carrying on His Will
OP-13 Carrying on His Will has some of the most dramatic chase cards in the One Piece TCG, including red manga cards, standard manga rares, anniversary cards and God Pack alternate arts. This guide ranks the best OP-13 cards based on rarity, character popularity, artwork, collector demand and pull excitement.
Quick answer: what is the best card from OP-13?
The best card from OP-13 is generally Red Manga Monkey D. Luffy. It combines Luffy's character popularity with one of the most premium treatments in the set. Red Manga Ace and Red Manga Sabo are also major chase cards, while Gold Anniversary Shanks and the standard manga rares make OP-13 one of the most exciting sets for collectors.
Portgas D. Ace
As the only special rare on the list, Ace makes it in for one very specific reason. When the set initially released, some versions of the Ace wanted poster card reportedly had the card text from the Luffy wanted poster. That error increased interest in the card and helped push its popularity higher than it might have been otherwise.
St. Marcus Mars
OP-13 includes God Packs containing alternate versions of the Five Elders. St. Marcus Mars makes the list here, but any of the God Pack variants could reasonably have taken this spot. These cards have excellent artwork and can only be found inside a God Pack, which makes them especially interesting for collectors.
Shanks
Silver Anniversary Shanks comes in fairly low on this list, but that does not mean it is easy to pull. With pull rates similar to a manga rare, this anniversary-style card is still one that almost any collector would be happy to find in a pack.
Sabo
Anniversary sets are perhaps the only occasion where you will see a manga rare this low on a top 10 list. This card is still incredibly rare, and Sabo rounds out the manga rare trio of the three brothers, helping make OP-13 feel even more memorable.
Portgas D. Ace
Ace holds a special place in the hearts of many One Piece fans, which only adds to the popularity of this card. The design appears to draw from around the time he was introduced to the story, making it instantly recognisable and especially appealing for Ace collectors.
Monkey D. Luffy
Luffy has several huge cards in OP-13, and his standard manga rare was always going to make the list. Manga rares are one of the most iconic rarities in the One Piece TCG, and with pull rates this difficult, even the non-red version of Luffy is still a major chase card.
Shanks
The anniversary cards were a great addition to the TCG and are widely loved by fans. Gold Anniversary Shanks ranks highly on this list because of its low pull rate, strong character appeal and overall visual impact. It also feels more premium than the silver version.
Sabo
The top three cards on this list ultimately come down to character popularity, and Sabo takes third place behind Luffy and Ace. However, this red manga rare is still an incredible pull and will definitely be the chase card for some collectors.
Portgas D. Ace
Ace is the second red manga rare on the list and would still be a huge pull from any pack. While he may not be quite as popular as Luffy, Ace still has plenty of fans, which helps drive strong demand for this card.
Monkey D. Luffy
This red version of manga Luffy was always going to be the number one chase card in the set from the moment it was announced. Luffy's popularity, combined with the huge number of packs you would need to open to pull a red manga rare, makes this the clear top card from OP-13.

How this OP-13 top 10 was chosen
This OP-13 top 10 is designed to help collectors understand which cards are most worth looking for from Carrying on His Will. The list is heavily shaped by the red manga cards, manga rares, anniversary cards and other premium pulls that define the set.
This is not intended to be a live price chart. One Piece TCG prices can move quickly, especially around release windows. Instead, this page focuses on collector demand, pull excitement, rarity, character popularity and long-term set appeal. Market value is considered, but it is not the only factor. For a broader comparison of chase cards across releases, see the rarest One Piece cards by set guide.
The ranking considers card rarity, artwork, recognisable characters, collector demand, story relevance and how exciting each card is to pull from a pack. Red manga cards and standard manga rares naturally rank highly, but anniversary cards, God Pack alternate arts and special rares can also be major chase cards when they feature popular characters or memorable artwork. You can learn more about pack odds in the One Piece TCG pull rates guide.
OP-13 has a strong focus on inherited will and key legacy characters, so Luffy, Ace, Sabo and Shanks naturally deserve extra attention. Cards such as St. Marcus Mars also stand out because of their connection to special pull experiences like God Packs.
