Gecko Moria

The Gecko Moria character card from the 500 Years in the Future expansion was released in 2024 as part of the One Piece Card Game. This set draws heavily from the Egghead Arc, featuring characters tied to the ongoing narrative developments of the manga and anime series. Gecko Moria, the former Warlord of the Sea, appears here in his iconic Thriller Bark aesthetic, rendered with the high-contrast, dynamic art style characteristic of the set's contribution to the black-color deck archetype.

The card was designed to emphasize Moria's thematic ability to manipulate shadows and reanimate allies, a core mechanic that centers on bringing characters back from the graveyard to the field. Its inclusion in the OP-07 set reflects the game's strategy of revisiting classic antagonists through modern mechanical frameworks. Upon its release, it was widely praised by competitive players for its efficiency in maintaining board presence, quickly becoming a staple in the high-level meta game.
