Bounties

In the pirate-themed anime/manga One Piece, numerous characters have bounties, which are listed here. In the eye of a pirate, a high bounty may actually be a source of pride for them, as seen in Luffy's enthusiasm on his first bounty, or Sanji's constant complaining of his lack of bounty.

In the Whiskey Peak arc, the Baroque Works agents state that up to 30% of the bounty money may be lost by bringing in someone dead as opposed to bringing them in alive, as the government prefer to hang them in public.

The average bounty set by the World Government is 10-20 million Belli, as stated by one of the officers when announcing Luffy's bounty. It is important to remember that a bounty does not always reflect the strength of a person, as was confirmed by Oda himself in his SBS section. Simply doing criminal activities, associating yourself with certain groups or particpating in forbidden activities (such as researching the Poneglyphs) can make you gain or increase a bounty without reflecting the strength of the person carrying it. In short, the bounty simply reflects how much threat (or potential threat) said person has to the World Government.

One of the most mysterious things about wanted posters in One Piece is how the Navy is able to get hold of photos of each criminal. Oda later in one of his SBS later reveals the photos are taken by the Naval Photography Branch Captain "Flaming Attachan". Flaming Attachan apparently gets his name because before he closes the shutter he yells "Fire!". The only exception to this rule seems to be from Mr. 13 and Miss Friday who were used by the marines recently to help draw bounty posters of remaining Baroque Works agents.

The Straw Hat Pirate crew
Total bounty: 239,000,000 Belli

Monkey D. Luffy

 * First Bounty: At the end of the Arlong Park Arc, after Luffy defeated Arlong, the Straw Hats had beaten up the corrupt Navy captain Nezumi so he would return Nami's treasure. Nezumi, wanting revenge against Luffy, personally ensured a bounty of 30,000,000 Belli for him, giving him the highest bounty in East Blue.


 * Second Bounty: After defeating Sir Crocodile and his organization Baroque Works, Luffy's bounty was raised to 100,000,000 Belli. This makes him one of the highest current bounty displayed in all of One Piece.

Roronoa Zoro
The swordsman of the Straw Hat Crew, he received a 60,000,000 Belli bounty after he defeated the assassin Das Bones (Mr. 1) in the Alabasta Arc and for killing the hunters in Whiskey Peak.

Nico Robin
Nico Robin has a 79,000,000 Belli bounty from 20 years ago, assigned to her when she was only eight years old. It is claimed that she sunk 6 ships, but in the Enies Lobby arc it is revealed as nothing more than a lie from the government. The real reason behind her bounty is her ability to read Poneglyphs.

The East Blue Bounties
Note: The average bounty for the East Blue is rated at only 3,000,000 Belli, making it the weakest sea in the One Piece world.

 * Jango the Hypnotist: 9,000,000 Belli bounty - now a member of the Navy, his bounty most likely has been removed or 'forgotten'.
 * Pirate Admiral Don Krieg: 17,000,000 Belli bounty.
 * Saw-Tooth Arlong: 20,000,000 Belli bounty.

Unknown Bounties

 * Nico Olvia: A wanted poster is shown but the number was hidden.
 * Portgas D. Ace (anime only): Scorpion is seen holding a wanted poster of Ace during the Alabasta arc during the Straw Hat's journey across the desert. It should also be noted that this is seen during a filler episode of One Piece and is not actually in the storyline of the manga. However, since he is a famous member of Whitebeard's crew, it is speculated there is a bounty.

 * Skunk One: (from the second movie: Clockwork Island Adventure)
 * Pin Joker: (from the second movie: Clockwork Island Adventure)

Bounties not yet determined
The following characters have yet to have had bounties listed or a wanted poster shown in the series but most likely do have bounties on their head (or a former bounty in Mihawk's case).


 * Red-Haired Shanks: Shanks is monitored by the World Government as a possible threat to the balance of power in the world. They even consider killing him as a possible option should he get out of hand.
 * Whitebeard (Edward Newgate): As the worlds strongest man and a pirate who clashed with, but was not defeated by Gol D. Roger, it is most likely he is wanted.
 * Dracule "Hawkeye" Mihawk: As a member of the Shichibukai, Mihawk has a former bounty. The amount it was is still unknown as of yet, but as the world's greatest swordsman, it is most likely he is one of the stronger members of the Shichibukai with a very high former bounty. On a Spanish One Piece website, it is said that Mihawk's former bounty was 600,000,000 Belli, but this remains to be proved.
 * Chef "Red Leg" Zeff: As a former Grand Line pirate he likely had a large bounty, but it could have been dropped after he lost his leg and opened the Baratie.
 * Dragon: In Loguetown, Captain Smoker says the government wants his head because he is a revolutionary. The World Government fears that in 2 or 3 years time he will be strong enough to be a threat to the world.
 * Jimbei: A Warlord of the Sea who was once leader of what became Arlong's crew. It was stated that Arlong and Jimbei were equals, however Jimbei having a bounty of 20 Million is highly doubtful, and most likely refers to their status in fish-man rank.
 * Gold Roger: It is unknown what amount the bounty was the late pirate king carried before his death.
