The Rocks D. Xebec One Piece card did not exist until August 2026 — and when he finally appeared, Bandai gave him one of only two Secret Rares in the entire set.
Rocks D. Xebec is the Rocks Pirates captain in the One Piece Trading Card Game, introduced with OP-17 “The World’s Strongest Warriors.” As catalogued by Limitless TCG as of August 2026, he has two card numbers to his name: a Blue Leader card (OP17-039) and a 10-cost Secret Rare (OP17-118), the latter carrying three separate print treatments. That’s a small print pool compared to characters who’ve been in the game since 2022, but it’s a debut, and OP-17 built the set’s marketing around him.
OP-17 is a big set to debut into. As catalogued for the release, the base checklist runs 119 numbered cards — 45 Common, 30 Uncommon, 26 Rare, 10 Super Rare, 6 Leader, and 2 Secret Rare — on top of additional card types like DON!! cards and promo-only inserts. Landing a Leader slot and one of the two Secret Rare slots on a first appearance, rather than starting at Common or Uncommon like most new characters do, is a specific choice by the set’s designers, not a default outcome.
This guide walks through every confirmed Rocks D. Xebec printing — card text, rarity, and the new OP-17 parallel formats connected to him — using only data verified against Limitless TCG’s card database and Bandai’s official set announcements.
Rocks D. Xebec has 2 verified card numbers in the One Piece Card Game, both from OP-17 “The World’s Strongest Warriors” (JP release August 22, 2026): the Blue Leader OP17-039 and the 10-cost Secret Rare OP17-118, which has base, Alternate Art, and manga-style parallel versions. He’s one of only 6 Leaders and one of only 2 native Secret Rares in the set, as catalogued by Limitless TCG. We do not list Rocks D. Xebec singles at the time of this update, but the OP-17 booster box that contains every printing is currently listed at ¥12,505 (~$81) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order).

Every Rocks D. Xebec Printing at a Glance
As catalogued by Limitless TCG, Rocks D. Xebec currently has two individually verified card numbers, both from OP-17 “The World’s Strongest Warriors”:
| Card # | Type | Rarity | Set | Versions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OP17-039 | Leader | Leader | OP-17 — The World’s Strongest Warriors | Base + Alternate Art parallel |
| OP17-118 | Character | Secret Rare | OP-17 — The World’s Strongest Warriors | Base + Alternate Art parallel + manga-style parallel |
Both cards are Blue and carry the Slash attribute and the Rocks Pirates card type. Between the two card numbers, five distinct print versions are confirmed: two treatments of the Leader and three of the Secret Rare. As of this writing, Limitless lists no other Rocks D. Xebec card numbers — this is his entire confirmed print history to date, and OP-17 is his only appearance in the trading card game so far.
That’s a short list next to characters who’ve accumulated printings across a dozen sets since the game launched in 2022. But it’s worth putting in context: OP-17 gave Xebec both a Leader slot and one of only two native Secret Rares in the set on his very first appearance, which is not how most debuting characters are treated.
The Leader Card: OP17-039
OP17-039 is Rocks D. Xebec’s Leader card: Blue, 5 Life, 5000 Power, with the Slash attribute and Rocks Pirates type. Its ability reveals the top card of the deck by discarding a card from hand at attack time, drawing two cards if the revealed card carries the Rocks Pirates type — a deck-thinning, card-advantage effect built directly around his own crew’s type line. An Alternate Art parallel of the Leader (OP17-039) is also listed by Limitless TCG.
He’s one of just six Leaders in OP-17 alongside Whitebeard (Red), Shanks (Green), Kaido (Purple), Luffy (Black), and Big Mom (Yellow) — each representing a different color in the set’s Leader lineup, as catalogued by Limitless TCG. Six Leaders across six colors in a single set is a compact lineup, and getting one of those six slots on a debut character rather than an established one already tells you how OP-17 was built around him.
Functionally, OP17-039 is a value-and-selection Leader rather than an aggressive one: the ability doesn’t add power or pressure the board directly, it converts a card from hand into deck information and, when the type lines up, a second card. That kind of effect rewards a deck built consistently around the Rocks Pirates type line, which is exactly the type Xebec’s own Secret Rare and Leader both share. If you collect other Leaders from the same release, our Loki card guide covers OP-17’s other new-to-the-game debut, and our Kaido card guide and Whitebeard card guide follow the same printing-by-printing format for two of the set’s other Leaders.
The Secret Rare: OP17-118 and Its Three Versions
OP17-118 is the card most collectors are after. It’s a 10-cost, 12000-power Character card — Blue, Slash attribute, Rocks Pirates type — and it sits at Secret Rare, the highest rarity Rocks D. Xebec reaches, as catalogued by Limitless TCG. Its ability grants +2000 Counter power while in hand if your field has no other Counter-equipped characters, and on play it draws a card and lets you put up to two differently-named Rocks Pirates cards totaling 9 cost or less into play from hand — a large-scale swing card built to close games.
Three confirmed versions share this one card number: the base Secret Rare, an Alternate Art parallel, and a manga-style parallel using comic-panel artwork rather than the standard illustration style. Bandai’s OP-17 marketing named four cards for its manga-parallel chase treatment — Whitebeard, Shanks, Kaido, and Big Mom — but Xebec’s manga-style OP17-118 parallel exists as its own confirmed printing on Limitless TCG’s card page independent of that named list, so treat it as an additional manga-style variant rather than a fifth entry on that specific chase roster.
All three OP17-118 versions share the same card number and rules text. The difference is purely visual — standard illustration for the base and Alternate Art versions versus comic-panel manga artwork for the third — so check the artwork style, not the printed stats, before assuming two listings are identical.
At 10 cost, OP17-118 is priced at the very top of the game’s cost curve — most Leaders sit around 4–5 Life, so a 10-cost play typically doesn’t land until the mid-to-late game. The payoff is proportional: 12000 base power is well above the set’s average Character stat line, the conditional +2000 Counter keeps it relevant on defense even before it’s played, and the on-play effect can put up to two more Rocks Pirates cards into play in the same turn. It’s built as a single card that can flip a board state, which is consistent with how Bandai treats Secret Rare slots across most One Piece Card Game sets.
OP-17’s New Parallel Tiers and Xebec’s Role
OP-17 didn’t just add new cards — Bandai’s official set announcement introduced two new parallel formats specifically for this release: a “Pirate Crew Super Parallel,” described as the set’s apex parallel treatment and named as applying to Luffy- and Rocks-affiliated cards, and a “Super Leader Parallel,” the first parallel treatment ever applied to a Leader card in the game’s history. Both point to how central Rocks D. Xebec is to this set’s positioning, alongside Luffy. On Xebec’s side, the treatment sits on his Secret Rare: marketplace listings and the official card list’s parallel entries place the Pirate Crew Super Parallel on OP17-118’s manga-style parallel — the third of the Secret Rare’s three versions covered above — not on his leader card.
Set against the base checklist — 119 numbered cards across Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare, Leader, and Secret Rare tiers, with only 2 Secret Rares total, as catalogued for OP-17 — being one of the two characters singled out for the new top-tier parallel format is a meaningful marker for a card game debut.
OP-17’s other new Secret Rare, Loki (OP17-119), is the natural comparison. Both debuted in the same set at the same rarity tier, and both received their own Alternate Art parallel — but their card designs pull in opposite directions. Loki is a 6-cost, 8000-power Character with a Strike attribute and Giant/Elbaph type whose on-play effect removes a low-cost opposing character outright; Xebec is a 10-cost, 12000-power Slash-attribute Rocks Pirates card built to develop your own board rather than remove the opponent’s. One is priced as immediate defensive removal, the other as a late-game payoff. Our Loki card guide covers his printings and card text in full.
What the Secret Rare Is Asking For
The lowest asking prices on SNKRDUNK on September 29, 2026 put the three OP17-118 versions on very different tiers: the base Secret Rare at ¥2,000 (~$13), the alternate-art parallel at ¥3,650 (~$24), and the manga-style Pirate Crew Super Parallel at ¥436,000 (~$2,831). The OP17-039 Leader asked ¥1,000 (~$6) and its alternate-art parallel ¥3,100 (~$20). All of these are asking prices from active listings, not completed sales. The full set is on our OP-17 card list page.

Community-reported insertion frequency for OP-17’s manga-style parallels overall is unofficial and varies between tracking sites, so we’re not attaching a specific number to Xebec’s manga-parallel version here. If a listing quotes you a precise insertion frequency for that exact card, treat it as an estimate rather than a confirmed figure.
How to Collect the Rocks D. Xebec One Piece Card
We do not list graded or single Rocks D. Xebec cards at the time of this update. Because both of his confirmed card numbers come from a single set, there’s only one product to target: a sealed OP-17 booster box gives you a shot at the Leader, the base Secret Rare, and both of its parallels, since every version comes out of the same set’s pack ratio.
The OP-17 booster box is currently listed at ¥12,505 (~$81) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), and it’s the direct route to any Rocks D. Xebec printing since he doesn’t appear in any other set as of this writing. If you’re specifically after a single Xebec card rather than a sealed box, sourcing requests go through our Quick Order page.
Buying by the box is also the only practical way to get an unopened copy of a manga-style or Alternate Art parallel that was only ever distributed inside sealed packs, rather than through a standalone promo product — both of Xebec’s Secret Rare parallels fall into that category.
Each OP-17 booster pack contains six cards, with 24 packs to a box under Bandai’s standard configuration for numbered One Piece Card Game sets. That means every box gives you 144 individual card slots to hit both of Xebec’s card numbers across all five confirmed print versions, alongside the rest of the set’s 119-card base checklist and its parallels.
