Super Rookie

Super Rookies (超新星（スーパールーキー）) refers to any rookie pirate who managed a bounty of over 100,000,000.

Overview
A pirate's impressiveness and first-impression strength is usually dictated by the bounty he or she earns. Therefore, the higher the number, the more fame and respect they said pirates receive. Any rookie pirates who manage to receive a bounty of over 100,000,000 before they enter the New World is considered to be impressive, as it marks that said rookie has committed criminal acts of catastrophic degrees. However, once past the "Paradise" half of the Grand Line, bounties of around 100,000,000 are considered common and even weak.

While bounties of 300,000,000 is highly impressive, it is still considered a rookie. However, if one exceeds that amount to about 400,000,000, one is no longer considered to be a rookie, but instead as an elite.

Cavendish
One year before the start of the series, Cavendish gained a high reputation among the rookies, with a bounty of 280,000,000 but the one year after that, the Worst Generation's arrival overshadowed him, causing him to develop a grudge against them.

The Worst Generation
Two years before the current storyline, eleven Super Rookies arrived at Sabaody Archipelago almost simultaneously. Collectively, they are known as the "Eleven Supernovas" (11人の超新星). These eleven, alongside Marshall D. Teach, were considered to be the Worst Generation (最悪の世代) to ever come to existence, due to their individual actions bringing great (or terrible) changes to the world, leaving deep and lasting impacts.

Bartolomeo
One year after the Worst Generation's rise, at least another Super Rookie earned his fame: Bartolomeo the Cannibal.

Current
In the current timeline, came at least two more: Caribou and his brother Coribou. Though both brothers were impressive on their own rights, neither of them were comparable to the Worst Generation.

Trivia

 * The first half of One Piece is known as Sea of Survival: Super Rookies Saga.
 * Bellamy once held a similar title: he was known as the "Big-Time Rookie" (大型ルーキー), due to his bounty being at a moderately high 55,000,000, something his crew and Mock Town found impressive and noteworthy.
 * It should be noted that after the two-years timeskip, his bounty indeed went over 100,000,000. However, by that time, it is unknown if he is still considered a rookie.
 * In the anime Shanks calls Ace a Super Rookie during their meeting. However, this did not happen in the manga and Ace's starting bounty is currently unknown.
