The Battle at Marineford

The central theme of The Time of Battle is the massive confrontation surrounding Marineford.

The set revisits the period when the Whitebeard Pirates entered the war to rescue Ace, bringing some of the most recognizable characters from the Paramount War together in one expansion.

This gives OP-16 a distinctly battle-focused identity compared with the more character-specific themes of some previous releases.

Portgas.D.Ace

Portgas.D.Ace is one of the most important characters in OP-16.

Ace appears as one of the six Leaders in the set, while the expansion also includes additional Ace cards.

His role in the Marineford conflict makes him central to the theme of The Time of Battle, giving Ace collectors a major reason to explore the Japanese release.

Edward.Newgate — Whitebeard

Edward.Newgate, better known as Whitebeard, represents one of the most powerful forces in the Paramount War.

The Whitebeard Pirates receive significant representation throughout OP-16, with characters such as Marco, Jozu, Vista, Izo, Thatch, Benn.Beckman and other pirates appearing in the card pool.

This makes the expansion particularly attractive for collectors building a Whitebeard Pirates collection.

Monkey.D.Luffy

Monkey.D.Luffy is another OP-16 Leader.

The set revisits Luffy’s desperate journey through Impel Down and Marineford, connecting him with characters from both sides of the conflict.

Luffy’s presence also gives the expansion strong appeal for Straw Hat collectors.

Marshall.D.Teach

Marshall.D.Teach, also known as Blackbeard, receives his own Leader in OP-16.

The Blackbeard Pirates play an important role in the events surrounding the Paramount War, making Teach a natural part of an expansion focused on this period of the story.

His inclusion also gives the set a strong connection to the current generation of major pirate powers.

Sengoku

Sengoku is another OP-16 Leader and one of the most important Marine characters represented in the set.

As Fleet Admiral during the Marineford conflict, Sengoku was directly involved in one of the largest battles in One Piece history.

The expansion also includes additional Marine characters, creating a substantial Navy-focused portion of the card pool.

Yamato

Yamato is the sixth Leader in the OP-16 set.

While Yamato is associated with a later part of the One Piece storyline, the character’s inclusion broadens the expansion beyond Marineford and adds another popular modern character to the release.

The six Leaders are Portgas.D.Ace, Monkey.D.Luffy, Buggy, Sengoku, Yamato and Marshall.D.Teach.

Buggy and Impel Down

Buggy receives his own Leader in OP-16.

The expansion also includes characters and events associated with Impel Down, including prisoners and allies encountered during Luffy’s attempt to reach Marineford.

This creates a bridge between the Impel Down portion of the story and the larger Paramount War.

The Marines

The Marine side of the conflict is heavily represented.

OP-16 includes major Marine characters such as:

• Sengoku
• Kuzan
• Sakazuki
• Borsalino
• Monkey.D.Garp
• Koby
• Smoker
• Tsuru

The set also features The Three Admirals!!, making the Marineford battle theme especially prominent.

The Seven Warlords

The Warlords also play an important role in the expansion.

Cards include characters such as Boa Hancock, Crocodile, Donquixote Doflamingo, Dracule Mihawk and Gecko Moria, reflecting the involvement of the Warlords in the Marineford conflict.

This also creates a strong connection between OP-16 and OP-14 The Azure Sea’s Seven.

Whitebeard Pirates

The Whitebeard Pirates form one of the largest character groups in the set.

Collectors can find characters including:

• Edward.Newgate
• Portgas.D.Ace
• Marco
• Jozu
• Vista
• Izo
• Thatch
• Curiel
• Squard
• Namule
• Speed Jil
• McGuy

The variety of Whitebeard Pirates makes OP-16 particularly interesting for collectors building faction-based collections.

Blackbeard Pirates

The opposite side of the conflict is represented by the Blackbeard Pirates.

Marshall.D.Teach leads this theme, with additional members appearing in the card pool.

This gives collectors the opportunity to build around one of the most important pirate crews in the later One Piece storyline.

Secret Rare Chase Cards

The Japanese OP-16 card pool contains two Secret Rare cards:

• OP16-118 Portgas.D.Ace
• OP16-119 Marshall.D.Teach

These two cards fit naturally with the expansion’s central conflict and are among the major chase cards for collectors.
