What is Luffy OP03 and which card does it mean?

Luffy OP03 means the Rare Monkey.D.Luffy, card number OP03-070, from the OP-03 booster set. Searching the official OP-03 list for “Luffy” returns this card, and the same list shows a second entry, Monkey.D.Luffy (Parallel), numbered ST01-012 (official card list search).

That gives collectors two Luffy entries to tell apart. OP03-070 carries the OP03 prefix and is a normal Rare. ST01-012 carries an ST01 number instead and is labeled SP CARD; the official list describes it as the parallel art version of that card number. Both are Strike-attribute Characters, but they differ in color, cost, power and type, so they are not interchangeable in a deck.

Our OP-03 listings are sealed boxes, such as the OP-03 Pillars of Strength Japanese One Piece Booster Box (update: uitverkocht — vraag restock aan via Quick Order). Luffy is one card inside randomly packed product, so no box promises it.

What does Luffy OP03-070 do?

Luffy OP03-070 is a cost 6 purple Character that can attack the turn it is played if you pay its On Play requirements. These are the printed stats from the official card list.

Its power of 7000 is the main number on the card, and its effect is where the card gets its identity.

How do you read the Luffy OP03-070 effect?

The effect gives this Character [Rush] for the turn, but only when you meet two conditions on play. The printed text reads: [On Play] DON!! −1 (You may return the specified number of DON!! cards from your field to your DON!! deck.) You may trash 1 Character card with a cost of 5 from your hand: This Character gains [Rush] during this turn.

Break it into steps:

• [On Play] means the effect triggers when the card is played.
• DON!! −1 means you may return one DON!! card from your field to your DON!! deck. The card’s own reminder text calls this optional.
• Trash 1 cost 5 Character from hand is the second requirement. Without such a card in hand, the effect does not give Rush.
• [Rush] means the card can attack on the turn in which it is played.

The cost 5 requirement is a useful reading tip. Any Character card with cost 5 meets it, and the parallel Luffy ST01-012 is itself a cost 5 Character. That is a fact about the printed numbers, not a deck recommendation.

Is the Luffy parallel ST01-012 in OP-03 a different card?

Yes. ST01-012 Monkey.D.Luffy (Parallel) is a different card from OP03-070, with its own color, cost, power, type and effect. The official list describes it as the parallel art version of that card number and gives it the SP CARD rarity.

ST01-012 has [Rush] printed on the card, so it needs no On Play payment. Its [DON!! x2] [When Attacking] effect stops your opponent from using [Blocker] during that battle. Always match the card number first when you read a listing, because “Luffy” alone could point to either card.

Where does Luffy OP03-070 sit in the OP-03 set?

Luffy OP03-070 is one of the 26 Rare cards in a 127-card set. The set centers on enemies the Straw Hat Pirates fought in the East Blue, Water Seven and Whole Cake Island arcs, and it introduces the yellow color with new multicolor Leaders (official English page).

For the set’s headline cards, see our OP-03 chase cards guide.

How do you check a Luffy OP03 listing before you buy?

Check the card number, rarity and color against the official list before anything else. Use this short routine for any Luffy OP03 listing:

1. Number: OP03-070 is the Rare Luffy. ST01-012 is the parallel entry.
2. Rarity: R for OP03-070, SP CARD for ST01-012.
3. Color and cost: purple and 6 for OP03-070; red and 5 for ST01-012.
4. Stats and effect: compare power and effect text with the official card list entry.
5. Conditie notes: for sealed product, read the condition wording on the product page.
