Super Rookie

For Worst Generation, see Worst Generation.

Super Rookies, also called Supernovas, is a term that is used to refer to any rookie pirate who has managed to earn a bounty of over 100,000,000.^[2][3]

OverviewEdit

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 the said pirates receive.^[4] Any rookie pirates who manage to receive a bounty of over 100,000,000 before they enter the New World are considered to be impressive, as it marks that said rookie has committed criminal acts of catastrophic degrees.^[5][1] However, once past the "Paradise" half of the Grand Line, bounties of around 100,000,000 are considered common and even weak.^[1]

While bounties of 300,000,000 are highly impressive, a pirate with one can still be considered a rookie. A pirate may ultimately shed their rookie status after several years of regular pirating activity.

HistoryEdit

CavendishEdit

Main article: Cavendish

One year before the start of the series, Cavendish gained a high reputation among the rookies, with a bounty of 280,000,000. A year after he earned his bounty, the Worst Generation's arrival overshadowed him, causing him to develop a grudge against them.^[6] Captain of the Beautiful Pirates, he was forced to flee to sea and become a pirate after inadvertently causing several incidents in the Rommel Kingdom.

Worst GenerationEdit

Main article: 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, Jūichinin no Chōshinsei^?).^[1] These eleven, alongside Blackbeard, were considered to be the Worst Generation (最悪の世代, Saiaku no Sedai^?) to ever come to existence, due to their individual actions bringing great (or terrible) changes to the world, leaving deep and lasting impacts.^[7]

BartolomeoEdit

Main article: Bartolomeo

One year after the Worst Generation's rise, at least another Super Rookie earned his fame: Bartolomeo the Cannibal, wanted for attacking innocent civilians. He is hated and despised by many people, pirates and citizens alike.^[8] Captain of the Barto Club, he was inspired to go to sea after witnessing Luffy's actions.

Caribou BrothersEdit

Main articles: Caribou and Coribou

In the current timeline, came at least two more: Caribou and his brother Coribou, both well known for killing Marines.^[2] Though both brothers were impressive in their own rights, neither of them were comparable to the Worst Generation.^[9] They are co-captains of the Caribou Pirates.

TriviaEdit

• 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, Ōgata Rūkī^?), due to his bounty being at a moderately high 55,000,000, something his crew and Mock Town found impressive and noteworthy.^[4]
  • It should be noted that after the two-years timeskip, his bounty indeed went over 100,000,000.^[8] However, by that time, it is unknown if he is still considered a rookie.
• Cavendish, Zoro, Killer and Coribou are the only ones without powers of a Devil Fruit. While among others, most have Paramecia fruit powers, with the exception of X Drake, with a Zoan, and Caribou, with a Logia.
• Most are crew captains, with the exception of Zoro and Killer.
• 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.^[10]
