One Piece Card Game Ipponmatsu

Description

This original One Piece Card Game card features the proprietor of the Loguetown arms shop, Ipponmatsu, as a specialized character aligned with the East Blue type. The card showcases a cheerful illustration by Tanaka Kenichi, depicting a laughing Ipponmatsu with his signature hairstyle, standing behind his shop counter with various katanas displayed on the wall behind him.

As a Wisdom-attribute character, Ipponmatsu provides unique defensive utility on the battlefield. He possesses the Blocker keyword, allowing the player to rest this card to intercept an opponent’s attack and protect more vulnerable targets. Furthermore, he features a powerful passive ability: if the player’s Leader possesses the Slash attribute and the player has reached a specific threshold of rested specialized energy cards, Ipponmatsu becomes immune to being rested by an opponent’s effects. He also provides a standard Counter bonus for additional protection from the hand.

This version is a Common, identified by the C rarity code. The card is a strategic asset for Green decks, particularly those utilizing Slash-attribute Leaders, rewarding players who can manage their energy resources to maintain a persistent defensive wall.
