OP-17, "The World's Strongest Warriors," released in Japan on August 22, 2026, ran a US prerelease starting August 21, and reached English wide release on August 28, 2026. Secondary-market trackers on SNKRDUNK and Samurai Sword Tokyo were already logging asking prices on the set's headline pulls as early as the Japanese release and prerelease window — and the spread between "a card you pulled" and "the card you pulled" is enormous. This guide is a snapshot of that spread, built entirely from listings dated August 7 through August 24, 2026 — spanning the prerelease buzz and the Japanese street date — which puts the data right at the release window rather than months out once the market has settled.

A note on how to read everything below before you get to the numbers: these are live-market tracker prices, not fixed retail values, official MSRPs, or anything Bandai has set. They move. A card asking around a given price today can ask for meaningfully more or less by the time you're reading this, and Japanese-yen listings in particular can shift with exchange rates on top of normal collector demand. Every figure here is presented as "reportedly" or "asking" for exactly that reason — treat them as a snapshot of where the market sat in late August 2026, not as an appraisal.

One more thing worth being explicit about: this is a different piece from our One Piece rarity guide. That guide is the evergreen explainer for what Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare, Secret Rare, Leader, Treasure Rare, and Manga Rare actually mean as printing tiers — the conceptual side of the system, good for any set, any year. This article doesn't re-cover any of that. It's narrowly about OP-17: which specific cards from this specific set are commanding real money right now, and what they're reportedly asking for. If you haven't read the rarity primer yet, it's the better starting point for understanding why a "Manga Rare" isn't the same thing as a Secret Rare in the first place; come back here once you know the vocabulary and just want the OP-17 numbers.

What OP-17 Actually Shipped, Value-Wise

Every set has a handful of cards that end up worth chasing and a much larger pile that doesn't. What makes OP-17 worth its own dedicated price guide, rather than just a line in a wrap-up post, is how lopsided that split turned out to be within days of release. On one side you've got a single alternate-art Luffy print reportedly asking seven figures in yen. On the other, a base Secret Rare from the same set that's trading for less than a cup of coffee. Both of those cards technically say "Secret Rare" energy or higher on the tin in the loosest sense of "notable pull" — but the actual money is concentrated in a very small number of specific print treatments, and this guide exists to name exactly which ones.

If you're still building toward your first competitive list rather than chasing collector value, our first competitive deck guide and the One Piece TCG strategy hub are the better next stops — nothing below is about playability. This is strictly about what these specific OP-17 prints are reportedly worth on the secondary market right now.

The Chase Card: Luffy Pirate Crew Super Parallel

If OP-17 has one single card people mean when they say "the chase card," this is it. The Luffy Pirate Crew Super Parallel is reportedly asking around ¥1,300,000 on tracker listings from the release window, and some individual shop listings have gone as high as ¥2.2 million. That's not a typo, and it's not a one-off outlier being mistaken for a market price — it's the ceiling this entire set is being measured against.

We're not able to show you this one. There's no verified inline image of the Luffy Pirate Crew Super Parallel available to us at publication, so rather than guess at a URL or borrow art that isn't confirmed to be the actual card, we're describing it in text only: a Super Parallel alternate-art treatment of Luffy, themed around his crew, and — going purely by what trackers are reporting — the single most expensive card to come out of this set. If an official, verified image surfaces, we'll add it. Until then, treat any image you see attached to this card elsewhere online with some skepticism, the same way you should treat the price itself as a snapshot rather than a fixed number.

Rocks D. Xebec SEC-SP: The New Leader's Parallel

Rocks D. Xebec is the new Leader OP-17 built around, and his Secret Rare Special parallel print — the SEC-SP — is reportedly the second-most valuable single card in the set behind the Luffy Pirate Crew Super Parallel. Tracker listings put it at roughly ¥540,000, which is a serious number on its own even before you compare it to what the same character's base Secret Rare is doing (more on that a little further down — the gap between the two is one of the clearest illustrations in this entire set of what a parallel treatment is actually worth).

Because Xebec is a new Leader rather than a returning one, this SEC-SP parallel is getting outsized attention from collectors specifically because there's no print history to compare against — everyone pulling this set is seeing this Leader for the first time, and that novelty is part of what's driving the SEC-SP's asking price this early in the release window (his base Secret Rare print hasn't seen the same effect — see the near-bulk pricing below).

Luffy Super Leader Parallel (OP17-079)

Don't confuse this with the Pirate Crew Super Parallel above — they're different cards with different card numbers, and the price gap between them tells you how much a specific print treatment matters even within the same character. The Luffy Super Leader Parallel, card number OP17-079, is reportedly asking around ¥115,000. That's a fraction of what the Pirate Crew Super Parallel is commanding, but it still puts this card comfortably in the same tier as the Four Emperors Manga Rares covered next, and well above anything in the base Secret Rare range.

If you're trying to keep the Luffy prints straight: the Pirate Crew Super Parallel is the set's outright chase card at roughly seven figures in yen, and this Super Leader Parallel is a separate, still-valuable but much more attainable alternate print sitting closer to ¥115,000. Two different cards, two very different price tiers, same character.

The Four Emperors Manga Rares

OP-17's other headline feature is that all four of the game's Four Emperors — Shanks, Edward Newgate (Whitebeard), Kaido, and Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom) — received the Manga Rare treatment in this set. Tracker prices on the four aren't identical; they range from roughly ¥80,000 up to roughly ¥184,000 depending on the character, which is its own small case study in how demand varies even within a matched set of alternate-art prints released together.

Shanks (OP17-022) is reportedly the priciest of the four, asking around ¥184,000, with buyback listings in the roughly ¥213,000–¥217,000 range — which one source converted to somewhere around $1,340 to $1,365 USD. That buyback-versus-asking spread is worth noting on its own: buyback prices (what a shop will pay to acquire the card) running higher than the asking price is a signal of strong, immediate demand for this specific print.

Edward Newgate, Whitebeard (OP17-005 Manga Rare parallel) is reportedly asking around ¥120,000, with buyback around ¥131,000 — roughly $824 by the same conversion source. We've got real images for this one, both the base print and the Manga Rare parallel, and we're using them together a little further down to show exactly what that price difference looks like side by side on the same character.

Kaido (OP17-062) is reportedly asking around ¥85,000. Charlotte Linlin, Big Mom (OP17-112) is reportedly asking around ¥80,000, the most affordable of the four Manga Rares by this tracker window, though "affordable" here is relative — it's still a five-figure-yen alternate print from a set that's barely a week or two old at the time these listings were logged.

Put together, the Four Emperors Manga Rares form a fairly tight band — roughly ¥80,000 to ¥184,000 — that sits well below the Luffy Pirate Crew Super Parallel and the Xebec SEC-SP, but comfortably above the Luffy Super Leader Parallel and miles above anything printed as a plain base Secret Rare in this set. If you're building a realistic budget for "a genuinely valuable OP-17 pull that isn't the single chase card," this band is roughly where that budget lives.

Base Vs. Parallel: Where The Real Money Actually Is

Here's the point this whole guide has been building toward, and it's worth stating plainly: in OP-17, the real money is in the alternate-art parallels, not in the base Secret Rare prints. That sounds obvious once you say it out loud, but the actual size of the gap is still worth seeing directly, because it's much larger than "parallels cost a bit more."

Start with Loki (OP17-119), a plain base Secret Rare from this set. Reportedly asking around ¥1,399 — near-bulk pricing for a card that still carries the SEC rarity tier on its print line.

That's not a fluke specific to Loki, either. Rocks D. Xebec's own base Secret Rare (OP17-118) is reportedly sitting at roughly ¥2,750 — still near-bulk, still a fraction of a percent of what his SEC-SP parallel covered above is asking. Same set, same rarity letters printed on the card, same character in Xebec's case, and a price gap that runs from roughly ¥2,750 to roughly ¥540,000 depending purely on which print you're holding. The "SEC" on the card tells you almost nothing about what it's actually worth this time around — the parallel treatment is doing all the work.

The clearest literal side-by-side for this point is Edward Newgate. Here's the base Super Rare print, followed by the Manga Rare parallel of the exact same character — the one reportedly asking around ¥120,000 covered earlier.

Same character, same set, two completely different price tiers depending entirely on which print treatment you're holding. That's the whole lesson of this section in one comparison: before you assume a Secret Rare pull from OP-17 is automatically valuable, check whether it's a base print or one of the specific parallels named in this guide. The letters on the card are a starting signal at best. The print treatment is what actually sets the price.

How To Read These Numbers (And Why They'll Move)

Every price in this guide is pulled from SNKRDUNK and Samurai Sword Tokyo tracker listings dated between August 7 and August 24, 2026 — a window that sits right against OP-17's August 28, 2026 English wide release. That timing matters. These are asking and buyback prices logged during the first couple of weeks a brand-new set was live on the secondary market, not settled, long-run values. A card's price this early can climb further if demand keeps outpacing supply, or it can soften once more copies work their way into circulation from additional print runs and later boxes. Neither direction is a given.

It's also worth flagging that every number above is in Japanese yen, and we've only converted to USD in the two spots — Shanks and Edward Newgate — where a source actually provided that conversion. We didn't do our own math on the rest, because that would mean introducing a number that isn't actually in the source data, and a currency conversion is still a fact, not a style choice. If you want a current USD figure for the Luffy Pirate Crew Super Parallel, the Rocks D. Xebec SEC-SP, the Luffy Super Leader Parallel, Kaido, or Big Mom, check a live exchange rate against the yen figure yourself rather than trusting a number that could already be stale by the time you read it.

Two practical takeaways if you actually pulled one of these cards, or you're deciding whether to buy one. First: "reportedly" and "asking" mean exactly that — these are what sellers are listing for and what trackers are logging, not a guaranteed sale price you're owed if you list your own copy. Second: the buyback-versus-asking spread we noted on Shanks and Newgate is a genuinely useful signal when you can find it — a buyback price close to or above the asking price tells you a shop wants that specific card badly enough to pay near retail for it, which is a stronger demand signal than an asking price alone.
