One card, two brothers, one leader slot. The One Piece Card Game rarely puts a single character on a Leader card twice — putting two on one card at all is rarer still.
Luffy & Ace, L-P, card number ST30-001, does exactly that. It’s a Leader-type promo that shipped as the bonus pack riding along with Start Deck EX “Luffy & Ace,” and it exists in at least two officially catalogued printings. This guide covers what’s actually confirmed about the card — its number, its distribution, and both verified print versions — and flags plainly what isn’t confirmed yet, rather than guessing at a release date or box price.
Luffy & Ace, L-P (ST30-001) is a Leader-type promo bundled as the “Bonus Pack” with Start Deck EX “Luffy & Ace.” Two official prints are confirmed on Bandai’s own card database: the standard base print and a parallel/alternate-art version (ST30-001_p1). Our own PSA10-graded copy is currently listed at ¥74,881 (~$471). The exact Japanese release date, MSRP, and print run for the Start Deck EX release are not independently confirmed — treat any date you see elsewhere as unverified until Bandai’s card-list pages surface it directly.
USD conversions in this guide use ¥159/USD (September 2026). Card images below are pulled directly from Bandai’s official One Piece Card Game database and depict the Japanese-language prints.
The Card: Luffy & Ace, ST30-001
The card’s full listed name is Luffy & Ace, L-P, and its card number is ST30-001. The “L-P” designation marks it as a Leader-type promotional card — a Leader slot that was distributed outside a normal booster or starter-deck pull, rather than a Character or Event card.
We independently confirmed the card is real and catalogued by checking Bandai’s official One Piece Card Game English card database directly, rather than relying on a reseller listing. The image loads on Bandai’s own CDN under the card code ST30-001, which is the strongest confirmation available short of an official set-list announcement.
Our own graded copy of this exact printing is a PSA10, currently listed at ¥74,881 (about $471). That’s our only pricing reference for this card — there’s no public auction-result data in front of us to cite for a broader secondary-market range, so we’re not going to invent one.
The Bonus Pack: Start Deck EX “Luffy & Ace”
Per the official product listing this card is tied to, ST30-001 was included as a “Bonus Pack” alongside Start Deck EX “Luffy & Ace.” That framing matters: this isn’t a chase pull from a booster box with an associated pull rate. It’s a promo that came attached to a specific starter-deck product, the same way many Leader promos in this game reach the market.
We were not able to independently verify the exact Japanese release date, the MSRP, or the print run for the Start Deck EX “Luffy & Ace” release on Bandai’s official card-list search pages. If you see a specific date or box price quoted elsewhere for this release, treat it as unconfirmed until it’s sourced back to Bandai directly — we’d rather leave a gap here than print a number we can’t stand behind.
What we can say with confidence is the structural fact: this Leader promo’s distribution was product-bundled, not booster-pulled, which is a meaningfully different collecting story than a Special Art Rare chase card.
Base Print vs. Parallel Art
Bandai’s official card database lists two distinct image assets under this card code: the standard base print (ST30-001, pictured in the section above) and a parallel, alternate-art version (ST30-001_p1). Both load directly from Bandai’s own servers, which is how we’re confident both exist as catalogued prints rather than one being a placeholder or a fan scan.
We don’t have secondary-market data separating the two prints in value, so we won’t speculate on which one commands a premium. If you’re trying to identify which copy you’re holding, the base print and the parallel/alternate-art version are visually distinct on close inspection — that’s the extent of the confirmed difference between them for now.
Luffy and Ace Elsewhere in the Card Game
A dual-character Leader is a crossover design, and both halves of it — Monkey D. Luffy and Portgas D. Ace — also appear individually across other One Piece Card Game releases. For readers chasing either character specifically rather than the ST30-001 promo itself, that’s a separate collecting lane worth knowing about.
Our Top Luffy cards guide covers Luffy’s chase versions beyond the Gear 5 Leader shown above, and our Gear 5 Luffy cards guide goes deeper on that specific era. On the Ace side, our Portgas D. Ace Leader & SEC guide is the dedicated resource. If it’s the promo-card format itself you collect rather than a single character, our One Piece promo cards guide puts ST30-001 in the context of the wider promo landscape.
Grading a Leader Promo
Leader cards see a lot of handling relative to their print run — they’re the card every deck built around them shows off, and starter-deck bonus promos in particular tend to get sleeved and played rather than stored flat from day one. That makes surface and centering the two things worth checking closely before you send a copy in for grading, or before you pay a premium for one already graded.
Our own copy of ST30-001 is graded PSA10. We’re not going to describe that grade with authenticity-guarantee language — a PSA10 is a condition grade from a third-party grading company, and the listing above reflects that grade and nothing beyond it.
