One Piece The Time of Battle is a set from the One Piece Card Game that helped define the trading card hobby around the long-running Japanese manga and anime. Released in 2026, it arrived as the franchise's trading card game continued to grow among both longtime Straw Hat fans and newer collectors drawn in by the series' enduring popularity. Alternate art versions within a set like this have become a focal point for collectors, since they reimagine familiar characters with distinct compositions and give a sense of the artists' individual styles. Marshall.D.Teach, better known as Blackbeard, is one of the most memorable antagonists in the series, and his presence on a card gives this alternate art version a strong draw for fans of the story. Collectors often seek out the character's imposing presence and the dramatic energy an alternate composition can bring to him. It is a card that rewards both the casual admirer of the franchise and the completist working through the set.
