Every official Edward.Newgate card carries the name “Edward.Newgate” — there is no card printed under “Corazon”-style nicknames here, and no card named simply “Whitebeard.” That distinction matters if you’re searching a card list directly. What does exist is a run of eight confirmed printings spanning four years, including two Leader cards, and a fresh set of three more arriving in OP-17 The World’s Strongest Warriors on August 22, 2026 — a set built around Whitebeard closely enough that it includes a new Leader and a new Super Rare with a confirmed manga (comic) parallel.
This guide sorts every confirmed Whitebeard printing into one reference: the original OP02 Leader and Super Rare, the dedicated ST15 starter deck card, two later Super Rares, and the three new OP-17 cards. We source Japanese One Piece Card Game sealed product out of Tokyo, and this is a sourcing guide — we’re not listing individual Whitebeard singles here, but every card below is one we can help track down, and three of them are printed in the same OP-17 set covered at the end.
One correction worth making up front: OP02-004, the original OP02 Super Rare, is sometimes described online as having a manga (comic) parallel. It doesn’t — its confirmed print history has no manga printing. The only Whitebeard card confirmed with a manga parallel is the new OP17-005, arriving in OP-17.
Whitebeard (Edward.Newgate) has eight confirmed printings, including two Leader cards (OP02-001 and the new OP17-001). OP-17 The World’s Strongest Warriors adds three new Whitebeard cards on August 22, 2026 — a new Leader, a new Super Rare with the game’s only confirmed manga parallel for this character, and a Rare tied to his Rocks Pirates past. The OP-17 booster box is currently listed at ¥28,000 and pre-orders ship on or after August 24, 2026.
Card data is drawn from the official OP card list and the LimitlessTCG card database. Set dates shown are English-language release dates as recorded by LimitlessTCG, except OP-17’s Japanese release date (August 22, 2026), which is confirmed on the official product page. This is a sourcing guide — no individual Whitebeard singles or market prices are listed; card identification only.
Every Whitebeard Card at a Glance
Eight printings of Edward.Newgate (Whitebeard) are confirmed across the official card list, spanning two Leader cards, one Super Rare with a confirmed manga parallel, four additional Super Rares, and one Rare arriving in OP-17:
| Code | Card | Rarity | Set | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OP02-001 | Edward.Newgate | Leader | OP02 Paramount War | Leader (Red, 6 Life, 6000 power) |
| OP02-004 | Edward.Newgate | SR | OP02 Paramount War | Character (Red, 9 cost, 10000 power) |
| ST15-002 | Edward.Newgate | SR | ST15 RED Edward.Newgate | Character (Red, 7 cost, 8000 power) |
| OP13-042 | Edward.Newgate | SR | OP13 Carrying on His Will | Character (Blue, 10 cost, 12000 power, Blocker) |
| OP16-003 | Edward.Newgate | SR | OP16 The Time of Battle | Character (Red, 8 cost, 10000 power) |

| OP17-005 | Edward.Newgate | SR | OP17 The World’s Strongest Warriors | Character (Red, 10 cost, 12000 power) |
| OP17-040 | Edward.Newgate | Rare | OP17 The World’s Strongest Warriors | Character (Blue, 6 cost, 8000 power) |
A few more codes turn up in card-list searches without individual page data confirmed yet: OP08-043, OP10-024, OP12-002, OP14-044, ST13-004, and ST30-003. They exist on the list, but we’re not detailing rarity or effect text for them here until each has been checked individually.
The sections below cover each confirmed printing in turn, starting with the two Leader cards.
Whitebeard’s Two Leader Cards: OP02-001 and OP17-001
OP02-001 is Whitebeard’s original Leader card, from OP02 Paramount War. It’s a Red Leader carrying 6 Life and 6000 power — the highest Life total of any card in this guide — with the [End of Your Turn] effect adding the top card of Life to hand. Its type reads Four Emperors / Whitebeard Pirates. It has an alternate-art printing, and it was reprinted in the ST15 RED Edward.Newgate starter deck as well as in the Misc. Promos line.
OP17-001 is the second Whitebeard Leader, confirmed for OP-17 The World’s Strongest Warriors. It’s also Red, with 5 Life and 5000 power, and carries a [On Your Opponent’s Attack][Once Per Turn] effect that discards a card from hand for +4000 power during battle. An alternate-art version is confirmed in its print history. Because OP-17 has not released yet as of this guide, no official card image is available for OP17-001 — the card list entry is confirmed, but artwork will only be viewable once the set is live on August 22, 2026.
Roughly three and a half years separate these two Leader cards (by English-release dates), and for now, anyone building a Whitebeard Leader deck is working from the OP02 printing until OP-17 releases. For the wider context on how OP02-001 stacks up against the rest of Paramount War, our OP-02 best cards guide covers the set in full.
The OP02 Super Rare: OP02-004 (No Manga Parallel)
OP02-004 is the Super Rare Character version of Whitebeard from the same OP02 Paramount War set, illustrated by tatsuya. It’s Red, 9 cost, 10000 power, with a [On Play] effect that adds 2000 power to the Leader — at the cost of losing the ability to add Life cards to hand through the player’s own effects for the rest of the game — plus a [DON!!x2][When Attacking] effect that KOs a Character with 3000 power or less. Its print history is deep: an alternate-art version, a Special (SP) reprint in OP04 Kingdoms of Intrigue, an alternate-art Prize Card printing, and an alternate-art reprint in PRB01 One Piece The Best.
One correction worth flagging directly: OP02-004 does not have a manga (comic) parallel in its confirmed print history. If you’ve seen it described that way, that’s not backed up by the card’s official print listing. The only Whitebeard card with a confirmed manga parallel is the upcoming OP17-005, covered below.
The Dedicated Starter: ST15-002
Whitebeard is one of the relatively small group of One Piece Card Game characters to headline his own dedicated starter deck: ST15 RED Edward.Newgate. Inside it, ST15-002 is a Red Super Rare, 7 cost, 8000 power, illustrated by Hokuyuu. Its [On Play] effect attaches one rested DON!!, and its [Activate: Main] effect rests the card to KO a Character with 5000 power or less. It has since been reprinted with Special (SP) treatment in OP10 Royal Blood, and as an alternate-art card in PRB02 One Piece Card The Best Vol.2.
A dedicated starter deck like ST15 is a strong signal of a character’s staying power in the game — it puts a full Whitebeard-led build directly in players’ hands rather than requiring a build-around from scattered boosters.
Later Super Rares: OP13-042 and OP16-003
OP13-042, illustrated by Yoichi Amano, is a Blue Super Rare from OP13 Carrying on His Will — 10 cost, 12000 power, with the [Blocker] keyword plus a [On Play] effect that draws 2 cards, discards 1, and attaches a rested DON!! to both the Leader and one Character. It has an alternate-art printing and a Special (SP) reprint in OP15 Adventure on Kami’s Island.
OP16-003, illustrated by Hachi Takashi, is a Red Super Rare from OP16 The Time of Battle — 8 cost, 10000 power, with a [Your Turn] effect that grants the Leader [Double Attack] and +2000 power. It has a confirmed alternate-art printing.

New for OP-17: Three New Whitebeard Cards
OP-17 The World’s Strongest Warriors, releasing in Japan on August 22, 2026, adds three confirmed new Whitebeard cards — a new Leader, a new Super Rare carrying the set’s only confirmed manga parallel for this character, and a new Rare tied to his Rocks Pirates past.
- OP17-001 — the new Leader card, covered above, with an alternate-art printing confirmed in the card’s print history.
- OP17-005 — a Super Rare, Red, 10 cost, 12000 power, illustrated by Yosuke Adachi. Its cost drops by 4 from hand if the opponent controls a Character with 10000+ power, and its [On Play] effect sets a single-color Leader’s base power to 8000. Its print history confirms both an alternate-art version and a manga (comic) parallel — the only confirmed manga parallel for any Whitebeard card in this guide.
- OP17-040 — a Rare, Blue, 6 cost, 8000 power, illustrated by Hatori Kyoka. Its [On Play] effect draws 1 card, and it gains +3000 power in battle when the Leader carries the “Rocks Pirates” type. OP17-040 itself carries the Rocks Pirates type — a rare card depicting the young Whitebeard from his time in the Rocks Pirates, before the Whitebeard Pirates existed. A Treasure Rare version is also listed for this card in card-list searches, though we haven’t verified its details individually.
None of the three has an official card image available yet — OP-17 is still in its pre-release window as of this guide, and the official card list site returns no image for unreleased cards. Effect text above is drawn from OP-17’s pre-release card list and could see minor wording changes once the set is officially live.
All three new Whitebeard cards — the new Leader, the manga-parallel Super Rare, and the Rocks Pirates Rare — are printed in the same set, OP-17. Sealed boxes are the direct route to opening them. For the set’s full lineup once it’s live, see our OP-17 best cards guide.
The Tag Leader: Ace & Newgate (ST22-001)
Outside the eight solo Whitebeard printings, one more card puts him front and center under a shared card name: ST22-001, “Ace & Newgate,” the Leader card of the ST22 Ace & Newgate starter deck. It’s a Blue Leader, 5 Life, 5000 power, illustrated by Daisuke Izuka. It’s a tag card rather than a solo Whitebeard printing, so it isn’t counted in the eight confirmed printings above, but it’s the clearest card-level link between Whitebeard and Portgas.D.Ace in the game.
Whitebeard Pirates typing also shows up outside this character’s own cards — OP03-012, Marshall.D.Teach (Blackbeard), carries the Whitebeard Pirates type from his time undercover in the crew, which our Blackbeard cards guide covers in more detail. For another commander from the same crew, see our Marco One Piece cards guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many Whitebeard cards are there in the One Piece Card Game?
Eight confirmed printings as of OP-17: two Leader cards (OP02-001 and OP17-001), one Super Rare with a confirmed manga parallel (OP17-005), four additional Super Rares (OP02-004, ST15-002, OP13-042, OP16-003), and one new Rare (OP17-040). A separate tag card, ST22-001 “Ace & Newgate,” also features Whitebeard but is counted separately since it’s a shared card name.
Does OP02-004 have a manga (comic) parallel?
No. OP02-004’s confirmed print history has no manga printing. The only Whitebeard card with a confirmed manga parallel is OP17-005, arriving in OP-17 The World’s Strongest Warriors.
What are Whitebeard’s Leader cards?
OP02-001, from OP02 Paramount War (Red, 6 Life, 6000 power), and the new OP17-001, arriving in OP-17 The World’s Strongest Warriors (Red, 5 Life, 5000 power).
Does OP-17 add new Whitebeard cards?
Yes, three: OP17-001 (the new Leader), OP17-005 (Super Rare, with a confirmed manga parallel), and OP17-040 (Rare, Rocks Pirates trait). All three come from OP-17 The World’s Strongest Warriors, releasing in Japan on August 22, 2026.
What is the “Ace & Newgate” card?
ST22-001, a Blue Leader card from the ST22 Ace & Newgate starter deck that shares a single card between Portgas.D.Ace and Edward.Newgate under the tag name “Ace & Newgate,” rather than featuring Whitebeard alone.
