Pica (Alternate Art)

Pica (OP05-032) was released as part of the Awakening of the New Era set, the fifth main expansion for the One Piece Card Game, which debuted in late 2023. The set focused on themes from the Dressrosa and Egghead arcs, positioning the card within a collection designed to highlight the antagonizing forces of the Donquixote Pirates. As a character card featuring alternate artwork, this piece emphasizes the unique aesthetic direction of the game, which blends Eiichiro Oda's original manga line art style with high-contrast, modern graphic design elements intended to appeal to both competitive players and series enthusiasts.

The illustration depicts Pica in his formidable stone-golem form, capturing the massive scale and imposing presence he holds during the Dressrosa arc. Collectors prize this alternate art version for its stylistic departure from the standard card frame, utilizing bold color palettes and dynamic character poses that reflect the card's specific ability to manipulate the board state. Upon its release, the card was well-received by the player base for its strategic synergy within Blue-attribute decks, cementing its status as both a functional tool for gameplay and a visually distinct piece of One Piece memorabilia.
