10 One Piece Bounties That Are Way Higher Than You Remember

Given the anime’s strong focus on pirates, it was natural for it to include a bounty system. This also created a feeling similar to the Old West. As the series progressed, the bounty amounts increased dramatically, starting at thousands of Berries and eventually reaching millions, and even tens of millions. This system served as an informal way to rank characters, indicating their strength and reputation in the pirate world.

From time to time, One Piece highlights the characters’ bounty amounts, and Monkey D. Luffy surprisingly enjoyed seeing his own increase. At this point, One Piece viewers are accustomed to characters like Luffy, Shanks, and Admiral Blackbeard having extremely high bounties, with others not far behind. It’s easy for fans to forget just how substantial these bounties are, considering some characters have limited appearances, quirky personalities, or questionable fighting skills – which is quite funny, actually.

Nami Has a Large Bounty Despite Her Relative Weakness

It’s understandable that Zoro and Sanji both have bounties exceeding one billion Berries, and the rewards for the rest of Luffy’s crew are generally in line with what fans anticipated. Nami, the crew’s navigator, also has a significant bounty of 366 million Berries.

Nami is among the least physically strong members of the Straw Hat crew, and One Piece fans generally expect pirate bounties to reflect either fighting ability or terrible deeds. Nami doesn’t have exceptional power, and she hasn’t committed any truly awful crimes, but her bounty is still nearing 400 million Berries. This could be because of Nami’s connection to the Straw Hat Pirates and how long she’s been with Luffy.

Bartolomeo Has a High Bounty for a Gag Character

Bartolomeo is certainly not helpless, however, One Piece fans generally remember him more for his enthusiastic support of Luffy than for his individual strength. Since the events at Dressrosa, Bartolomeo hasn’t been involved in many significant battles, so people tend to think of his Luffy-inspired ship and comedic moments before his fighting abilities. Recently, fans witnessed Bartolomeo being easily defeated by Shanks’ crew.

This all creates a rather negative impression of Bartolomeo, making it hard to see him as a serious threat. Even so, Bartolomeo boasts a significant bounty of 200 million Berries. He’s among the most highly valued members of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, with Chinjao having an even higher bounty than his.

Dorry’s and Brogy’s Combined Bounty Rivals That of the Emperors of the Sea

Dorry and Brogy are two incredibly strong giants who have assisted Luffy in the past, meaning they both have substantial bounties. However, One Piece fans have become accustomed to seeing even more formidable and intimidating characters since the Little Garden arc – like Kaido and Big Mom – which leads many to believe Dorry and Brogy’s bounties are likely only moderate.

Actually, things are a bit different – these two enemies both have incredibly high bounties, a massive 1.8 billion Berries each! Reaching even one billion Berries is a huge deal, and they’re almost at two billion. It’s surprising to see that Dorry and Brogy have higher bounties than Zoro and Sanji, which might be a shock to One Piece fans.

Caesar Clown Felt More Insignificant Than His Bounty Would Suggest

Caesar Clown was among the earliest villains Luffy and his crew encountered in the New World. Although he wasn’t a minor character, he quickly became less prominent. This led many One Piece fans to underestimate his cruel personality and abilities, and some believe his bounty is surprisingly high. Even though Caesar Clown didn’t play a major role in the Punk Hazard Arc, his bounty is nearly three-quarters of Franky’s.

Caesar Clown earned his bounty not through battles using his Gas-Gas Fruit, but by performing extremely unlawful experiments and fighting against capture on a Marine ship-this highlights that a high bounty at sea requires more than just fighting strength. Interestingly, Issho once cancelled Caesar Clown’s bounty because Caesar was working for the Warlord Doflamingo, but Caesar’s bounty was probably reinstated afterward.

Ace’s Bounty Was Much Higher Than Most Pre-Timeskip Characters

It’s not shocking that Portgas D. Ace had a significant bounty, considering he was a powerful pirate and a member of Whitebeard’s crew. However, Ace passed away a while ago. Back then, bounties for characters were generally lower than they are now, as the strength of characters in One Piece has increased over time. Therefore, it’s somewhat unexpected that Ace once had a bounty as high as 550,000,000 Berries.

You know, it’s easy to forget just *how* high Ace’s bounty actually went, but it’s even easier to remember *why* he earned it! Besides being Whitebeard’s right-hand man, everyone knew Ace was good friends with Luffy, and he was seriously strong with the amazing power of the Flame-Flame Fruit. But honestly, I think a big reason for that huge bounty was that he carried the Will of D. – that *always* gets the World Government riled up and puts a target on your back!

Jewelry Bonney’s Bounty Is Absurdly High for a Child

One Piece fans understand that Jewelry Bonney is more than just a comical character who loves to eat as much as Luffy. It’s a common error to underestimate her, especially considering the substantial bounty she’s earned. Jewelry Bonney clearly angered the Navy significantly, as her initial bounty was already a considerable 140,000,000 Berries, and it has now increased to over twice that amount.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how Bonney ended up with such high bounties, and it’s always been a bit of a mystery! One theory is that she was wrongly accused of attacking civilians – kids and older people – when it was actually Marines who were affected by her Devil Fruit powers. But honestly, looking at things now, her bounty totally makes sense. She’s become a key ally of Luffy the Emperor, and she’s actively fighting against the Five Elders! She’s doing everything she can to save her foster father, Kuma, from the World Government’s awful schemes, and that definitely explains a lot.

Boa Hancock’s New Bounty Makes Her One of One Piece’s Most Notorious Criminals

Boa Hancock used to be a Shichibukai, which meant her original bounty of 80 million Berries was put on hold while she worked with the Navy. However, since the Warlords were officially disbanded, all the former members-like Sir Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk-have received significantly increased bounties.

One Piece fans instantly recognize Crocodile and Mihawk as threats, but they have a different view of the proud, yet compassionate, Boa Hancock. Most see her as a supportive friend to Luffy and a generally heroic figure, so they were surprised to learn her bounty has increased significantly. Currently, it stands at just over 1.6 billion Berries, which is higher than both Zoro’s and Sanji’s. Many believe this is due to her association with Luffy and her renowned beauty.

Sabo’s Has Become One of the Most-Wanted Members of the Revolutionary Army

The soldiers of the Revolutionary Army were sure to have large rewards offered for their capture, and that definitely included Monkey D. Luffy’s adoptive brother, Sabo. Similar to Luffy, Sabo is a kind and generous young man from the East Blue, and his bounty is surprisingly high considering his personality.

Sabo’s bounty is slightly over 600 million Berries-a very large amount considering he’s a young man who uses a pipe and possesses the Flame-Flame Fruit. This demonstrates how serious the Navy is about destroying the Revolutionary Army by capturing its leaders, no matter what it takes. While it appears Sabo still has some growing to do to fully justify his impressive bounty, One Piece fans believe he’ll reach his full potential over time.

Buggy’s Bounty Is Appropriate for an Emperor of the Sea — But Not Him

Following the events at Impel Down, Buggy the Clown has consistently achieved success despite his lack of effort. This has become a pattern for his character; Buggy once aspired to be one of the Four Emperors, and surprisingly, he’s now actually reached that status. While Buggy hasn’t demonstrated the strength or accomplishments to be considered on par with someone like Luffy or Shanks, he somehow has an incredibly high bounty that is comparable to theirs.

It’s surprising that Buggy’s bounty is nearly as large as Blackbeard’s, especially considering Blackbeard has accomplished far more to earn such a reward. Capturing Buggy and turning him in to the Navy would secure wealth for many generations, and with Buggy’s limited fighting ability, it doesn’t seem impossible. The real concern is how far the significantly more powerful Sir Crocodile and Mihawk would go to defend Buggy from anyone trying to collect his bounty.
