This card carries a cost of 4 and displays the Blue Slash attribute, making it a recognizable addition to any One Piece Card Game collection. As a Commons rarity, the card is designed to provide consistent gameplay value through its specific mechanical effects rather than relying on high power totals.

Its most notable trait is the Blocker keyword, which allows players to rest the card during an opponent's attack declaration to redirect the attack target. This defensive utility is paired with a conditional bonus: if the controller has three or fewer cards in hand, drawing one card triggers a +1000 power boost during that specific battle. This interaction rewards strategic hand management and protects key assets.

His ability to disrupt opponent attacks while potentially refilling the hand makes him a versatile piece in many One Piece TCG strategies.
