1. Gol D. Roger — 5,564,800,000 Berries
The King of the Pirates. Roger holds the highest bounty ever issued in One Piece history. Captain of the Roger Pirates, he is the only man to have reached Laugh Tale and conquered all Four Seas. His bounty reflects both his power and the existential threat he posed to the World Government — he knew the history of the Void Century. He surrendered voluntarily, was executed at Loguetown, and ignited the Great Age of Pirates with his final words.
2. Edward Newgate, Whitebeard — 5,046,000,000 Berries
Yonko nicknamed “the strongest man in the world” after Roger’s death. Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, wielder of the Gura Gura no Mi (a Paramecia capable of “destroying the world”). His bounty reflects his role as a guarantor of balance in the New World — his death at Marineford triggered lasting chaos. See the official Whitebeard poster.
3. Kaido of the Beasts — 4,611,100,000 Berries
Former Yonko, captain of the Beasts Pirates and tyrant of Wano Country. Wielder of the Uo Uo no Mi, Model Seiryu (mythical Zoan, Eastern blue dragon). Dubbed “the strongest creature in the world,” he was considered invincible until his defeat by Luffy in Gear 5. His bounty accounts for 43 consecutive defeats against heroes and hunters without dying once. See the Kaido poster.
4. Charlotte Linlin, Big Mom — 4,388,000,000 Berries
Former Yonko, mother and matriarch of the Charlotte family (85+ children), sovereign of Whole Cake Island. Wielder of the Soru Soru no Mi (Paramecia, soul manipulation). Defeated at Onigashima by the Kid + Law alliance. Her bounty reflects her commercial and political empire as much as her individual strength.
5. Shanks (Red Hair) — 4,048,900,000 Berries
Active Yonko, captain of the Red Hair Pirates, former apprentice of Roger. The highest confirmed active bounty to date for any free pirate. Luffy’s childhood mentor — he entrusted his straw hat to Luffy with a promise to reclaim it once Luffy became a great pirate. Possesses Conqueror’s Haki at an unmatched level. Included in the Yonko Pack.
6. Marshall D. Teach, Blackbeard — 3,996,000,000 Berries
Active Yonko, captain of the Blackbeard Pirates. The only character in the series to wield two Devil Fruits simultaneously (Yami Yami no Mi + Gura Gura no Mi stolen from Whitebeard). A major antagonist, former Whitebeard crew member who rose from simple sailor to Yonko in a matter of years. See the Blackbeard poster.
7. Dracule Mihawk — 3,590,000,000 Berries
Former Shichibukai, now a founding member of the Cross Guild. Nicknamed “Hawk-Eyes,” considered the greatest swordsman in the world — the title Zoro has sworn to claim. His bounty was only revealed after the dissolution of the Shichibukai and his joining of Buggy’s Cross Guild. The number stunned the community: it surpassed Luffy’s at the time.
8. Buggy the Clown — 3,189,000,000 Berries
The most surreal entry in the ranking. Buggy, former Roger apprentice alongside Shanks, became a Yonko by accident: his successive failures were interpreted as a Machiavellian strategy by bounty hunters and the Marines alike. He now heads the Cross Guild, the organisation that places bounties on Marines. See the Buggy poster.
9. Monkey D. Luffy — 3,000,000,000 Berries
Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, now the 5th Yonko, and described as the reincarnation of Joy Boy by the Five Elders. His bounty tripled after his victory over Kaido and his Awakening of the Hito Hito no Mi, Model Nika (Gear 5). The canonical hero of One Piece — son of Dragon the revolutionary, grandson of Garp. See the Luffy 3-billion poster.
10. Crocodile — 1,965,000,000 Berries
Former Shichibukai, former antagonist of the Alabasta arc (where his bounty was deliberately understated at 81M by the Marines). Now a member of the Cross Guild alongside Mihawk and Buggy. Wielder of the Suna Suna no Mi (Logia, sand). His real bounty was only revealed after he joined the Cross Guild. See the Crocodile poster.

How to read this ranking
A bounty is not an exact measure of strength. Several external factors skew the numbers:
- Narrative and political influence — a pirate who inspires the people is worth more than a brute in isolation.
- Marine manipulation — Crocodile at 81M during Alabasta is the classic example.
- Sensitive knowledge — Robin as a child at 79M because she could read the Poneglyphs.
- Political crimes — assaulting a Celestial Dragon dramatically multiplies a bounty.
This is why the ranking shifts with every arc. Rumours of a future Luffy vs Im / Im-sama showdown could shake up these numbers in the chapters ahead.
FAQ — Top One Piece Bounties
Who holds the highest bounty of all time?
Gol D. Roger, the King of the Pirates: 5,564,800,000 Berries. This bounty was issued near the end of his pirating career, just before his voluntary surrender and public execution at Loguetown. No active or historical bounty has surpassed this figure in the series.
Which living pirate has the highest bounty?
Shanks (Red Hair): 4,048,900,000 Berries. This is the highest confirmed bounty for any free and active pirate post-Egghead. No living pirate has ever surpassed Shanks to date.
Which bounty surprised fans the most?
The revelation of Mihawk’s bounty at 3.590 billion post-Wano was one of the biggest shocks in the fandom. For 1,000+ chapters, his bounty had never been shown because of his Shichibukai status. Its reveal instantly placed him among the world’s top powers.
Who holds the lowest bounty in the series?
Tony Tony Chopper: 1,000 Berries (≈ €6). The Marines consider him a mere pet belonging to the Straw Hat crew and refuse to assign him a proper bounty. It has become a running gag.
Why is Luffy only 9th despite being a Yonko?
Bounties reflect accumulated actions over time. Roger, Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom, Shanks, and Blackbeard have had decades of notoriety. Luffy has only been sailing for 2 years (internal timeline). His 3 billion is the fastest growth in history — he could surpass Shanks before the series ends.
How much are these bounties worth in real euros?
Using the official exchange rate (1 Berry ≈ €0.006, Oda, SBS vol. 25):
- Roger (5.564B ฿) → €33.4 million
- Shanks (4.048B ฿) → €24.3 million
- Luffy (3B ฿) → €18 million
- Chopper (1,000 ฿) → €6
