Monkey.D.Garp

The Monkey.D.Garp card, cataloged as OP06-055, was released as part of the Wings of the Captain expansion for the One Piece Card Game in late 2023. The set was designed to emphasize key thematic arcs from the series, specifically highlighting the Marine presence and the intense tactical nature of the Navy's highest-ranking officers.
