What the Boa Hancock OP14-041 Leader does

It is a blue/yellow Leader with 4 Life and 5000 power, with the Special attribute and The Seven Warlords of the Sea and Kuja Pirates types. Its official English text reads:

"[Opponent's Turn] When you play a Character, draw 1 card. [DON!! x1] [Once Per Turn] When one of your {Amazon Lily} or {Kuja Pirates} type Characters with 5000 base power or more is K.O.'d, add up to 1 card from the top of your opponent's Life cards to the owner's hand."

In plain terms, two effects. First: every time you play a Character during your opponent's turn, you draw a card. There is no once-per-turn limit. Second: if your Leader has at least one DON!! attached, once per turn, when one of your Amazon Lily or Kuja Pirates Characters with 5000 base power or more is K.O.'d, the top card of your opponent's Life goes to their hand. In other words, you take one of their Life.

How to play Boa Hancock OP14-041: early, mid and late game

Hancock is a midrange deck that plays on your opponent's turn. Almost all its cards have Trigger: when your opponent takes a Life and one of these Characters comes up, you play it for free and the Leader makes you draw. And if your opponent wants to clear your board, every 5000-power Kuja Character they knock out costs them a Life.

Early game (turns 1 to 3)

• Turns 1 and 2: Charlotte Pudding trashes a Trigger card and draws 3. Gloriosa (Grandma Nyon) puts a Trigger you want on top of your Life, such as Gorgon Sisters or Shakuyaku.
• Keep the hand if you have Pudding or Zoro OP15-113: the early game is about drawing and setting up your Life.
• Every Character you play on your opponent's turn (via Trigger) draws you a card with the Leader.

Mid game (turns 4 to 7)

• Turns 3 to 5: Zoro OP15-113 and Borsalino add Life cards. Ran gives DON!! to your Leader or a Kuja.
• Always leave a DON!! on the Leader when you pass: without it, K.O.ing one of your 5000 Kuja costs your opponent nothing.
• Turns 6 to 8: Gorgon Sisters gives a rested DON!! to your Leader and every Character. Shakuyaku draws 2 and trashes 2 if your opponent has 3 Life or less.

Late game: how to close it out

• At 9 DON!!: Boa Hancock OP14-112 adds a Life card for you and takes one from your opponent.
• With Perfume Femur, your final attack can't be blocked.
• Gecko Moria puts 10000 on the board and its Trigger brings back a cost 4 or less Character from the trash.

Mistakes that cost the most games

• Passing without a DON!! on the Leader.
• Putting a Trigger on top of your Life that doesn't help you right then.
• Against Nico Robin: she gains Life when you K.O. her Characters, the opposite of your plan.

The golden rule: on your opponent's turn, count the DON!! on your Leader. Without a DON!! attached, knocking out a Kuja costs them nothing.

Hancock decklist: 1st at ChinoizeCup #124 (19 October 2026)

This is the list volkiso used to win ChinoizeCup #124, a 128-player online tournament on Limitless Play with 7 rounds and EB-05 cards allowed, going 7 wins and 0 losses. Behind it came Sabo, Charlotte Pudding, Silvers Rayleigh, Luffy, two Rocks decks and Enel. It is the version with Charlotte Pudding OP17-109 and Gecko Moria.

Total: 50 cards plus the Leader (46 Characters and 4 Events). 36 of the 50 cards have Trigger, and 28 of those end up putting a Character on the board.

Key cards and why they matter

• Boa Hancock OP14-112: cost 9 and 10000 power. When played, with a Seven Warlords Leader, it adds the top card of your deck to your Life and takes a Life from your opponent. Its Trigger plays a Character with Trigger and 6000 power or less from your hand, and on your opponent's turn that also draws you a card with the Leader.
• Gorgon Sisters OP14-105: cost 6, 5000 power and a +2000 Counter. Once per turn, you reveal 3 Amazon Lily or Kuja Pirates cards from your hand and give a rested DON!! to your Leader and each Character. Its Trigger plays it for free.
• Shakuyaku OP14-107: cost 6, 5000 power and a +2000 Counter. If your opponent has 3 Life or less, it draws 2 and trashes 2. Its Trigger plays it for free.
• Ran OP14-114 and Boa Marigold OP16-113: 5000-power Kuja Characters with a Trigger that plays them for free. Ran gives a rested DON!! to a Kuja once per turn; Marigold gains Blocker at 2 Life or less. Both switch on the Leader's second effect when they fall.
• Gloriosa (Grandma Nyon) OP14-103: cost 2. You take a Life card from the top or bottom and put a card from your hand on top of your Life. That way you choose which Trigger comes up on your opponent's next hit.
• Charlotte Pudding OP17-109: cost 3. You trash a card with Trigger and draw 3. In this deck almost everything has Trigger, so you never run out of things to trash.
• Gecko Moria OP14-104: 10000 power for 8. Its On Play effect searches for Thriller Bark Pirates, which the list does not run; it is played for the body and for its Trigger, which brings back a Character with a cost of 4 or less from your trash, such as Zoro, Ran or Pudding.
• Roronoa Zoro OP15-113 and Borsalino EB04-058: both add Life from your deck. Zoro asks you to trash a card; Borsalino is a Blocker and only adds Life if you have 2 or less.

Flex slots and options

The Kuja core (Ran, Marigold, Gorgon Sisters, Shakuyaku and Borsalino) is in all 53 Hancock lists collected by opdecks.xyz since June. The rest varies. These are the options you see most:

• Kouzuki Hiyori OP06-106: cost 2 with a +2000 Counter and the same effect as Gloriosa. It is in 42 of 53 lists.
• Nami EB03-053: cost 5. Gives a DON!! to your Leader and takes a Life from your opponent if they have 3 or more. When K.O.'d, you can turn your top Life card face up to play a Character with 6000 power or less from your hand.
• Boa Hancock ST17-004: cost 4, 6000-power Blocker that arranges the top 3 cards of your deck and gives a DON!! to a Seven Warlords. It comes in the Doflamingo starter deck.
• Silvers Rayleigh OP14-108: with a multicolour Leader and your opponent at 3 Life or less, it K.O.s a Character with 7000 base power or less. The Japanese list that won a Standard Battle on 3 November ran 2 copies.
• Nojiko EB05-057: cost 2 with a +2000 Counter that gives a DON!! to a Special or Wisdom Character. The Japanese list from 3 November ran 3.
• You'll Frighten Me... ♡ OP14-118: cost 1 Counter. With 2 Life or less, one of your opponent's active Characters cannot attack. Its Trigger plays a Character with Trigger from your hand.
• More Gravity Blade Raging Tiger OP06-058: the Hiyori version runs 2. For 7 DON!!, it sends two Characters with a cost of 6 or less to the bottom of the deck.

Every Character without Trigger you add is an opponent's hit that gives you nothing back. If you want to understand how to weigh that kind of change, we explain it in how to build a One Piece TCG deck.

Mulligan

• Keep the hand if you have Charlotte Pudding or Roronoa Zoro. That is the rule from the Shonen TCG guide: the early game depends on drawing and setting up your Life.
• Gloriosa with a good Trigger in hand also works: you put Gorgon Sisters or Shakuyaku on top of your Life from turn 2.
• Mulligan if you only have cards that cost 6 or more and nothing that draws or sets up your Life.

Matchups against the top decks

The percentages are ranked games on the TCG Match Making simulator, in the EB-05 format, according to the opdecks.xyz matrix updated on 5 November 2026. Hancock sits at 49.6% over 1,850 games. The matrix does not give the number of games for each matchup, so treat it as a guide.

Hancock holds up against almost the whole meta, but does not stand out against any of the big decks. Its worst matchup is Enel OP05-098, the third most played deck; its guide is at Enel OP05-098 deck. Against Nico Robin EB05-010, the problem is that Robin gets Life back when her Characters are knocked out, the exact opposite of your plan of taking it away. Against Rocks, the second most played deck, it is even: you can find it at Rocks OP17-039 deck.

What EB-05 and OP-18 change

• EB-05 gives it little. The winning list only runs 2 Boa Hancock EB05-028: when played, if your opponent has 9 or more cards in hand, they trash 4. Nojiko EB05-057 is the other option. EB-05 has been legal at Store Championships and regionals since 6 November 2026.
• Its opponents do change. Nico Robin EB05-010, a bad matchup for Hancock, comes from EB-05.
• OP-18 (20 November in English): we don't yet know which OP-18 cards will help it. The English texts going around are advance previews from stores and may change. You can find the six new Leaders in OP-18 leaders.
• Watch out for the April 2027 rotation. The three Events in the list (OP06-115, OP07-057 and OP06-058) and Kouzuki Hiyori are block 2 cards, which leave Standard on 31 March 2027. We explain it in One Piece TCG Standard format.

Almost the whole OP-14 Kuja core is low rarity: Gloriosa is a Common, and Ran, Gorgon Sisters, Shakuyaku and Boa Marigold are Uncommons. What pushes the price up is the Super Rares: Boa Hancock OP14-112, Gecko Moria OP14-104, Roronoa Zoro OP15-113, Borsalino EB04-058 and Nami OP11-054. Bartholomew Kuma OP12-119 is a Secret Rare, but the list only runs 2 and you can start without it. The parallel and alternate art versions only change the artwork.

Start with the Kuja core and add the Super Rares bit by bit. You can test the full list for free before you buy them.

Try it on ARENA

You learn Hancock by playing it: which Trigger to leave on top of your Life, when to keep a DON!! on the Leader and when to play OP14-112. In our free One Piece TCG simulator ARENA you load meta decklists in one tap or build your own, in your phone or computer browser. ARENA, like every other simulator, is an unofficial fan project.

1. Play against the AI on its four levels until your opponent's turn becomes second nature: when to block, when to let the hit through to get a Trigger.
2. Create a private 1v1 room and ask a friend to play Enel or Nico Robin against you, the two matchups it finds hardest.
3. Once you have it down, take it into ranked or sign up for an online Swiss tournament.
