Black Maria

The Black Maria card is a component of the Animal Kingdom Pirates starter deck, designated as ST-04, released as part of the One Piece Card Game’s debut wave in 2022. This set was designed to introduce players to the mechanics associated with Kaido’s crew, featuring characters from the Wano Country arc. The card serves as a staple utility piece for purple-aligned decks, drawing thematic inspiration from the character's role as one of the Tobi Roppo, the elite group of headliners serving under the Yonko Kaido.

The illustration depicts Black Maria in her characteristically ornate style, capturing the blend of her spider-like devil fruit abilities and her theatrical, traditional Japanese-inspired aesthetic. As part of the initial expansion, the card was produced to facilitate accessible gameplay for newcomers while maintaining visual consistency with Eiichiro Oda's original manga art style. It is recognized by collectors as a foundational character card that establishes the specific mechanical playstyle of the Animal Kingdom Pirates archetype.
