What Is the Worst Generation?
The Worst Generation is a journalistic term coined by the media of the One Piece world to describe an exceptional group of 11 young pirates and captains who appeared simultaneously at the Sabaody Archipelago, just before the events of Marineford (manga vol. 51). What makes this generation unique comes down to two criteria: all of them displayed bounties exceeding 100 million Berries before even entering the New World, and all of them made a name for themselves through spectacular actions during the chaos at Sabaody. More than a decade after their first appearance, several of these Supernovas have become major figures in the world of piracy, redrawing the balance of power between the Four Emperors (Yonko), the Marines, and the Revolutionary Army.

Monkey D. Luffy — The Future Pirate King
Captain of the Straw Hat crew, Monkey D. Luffy entered the Worst Generation with a bounty of 300 million Berries following his raid on Enies Lobby. Since then, he has defeated Doflamingo, Big Mom (Charlotte Linlin), and Kaido, officially rising to the rank of Yonko with an astronomical bounty of 3 billion Berries. Awakened as Nika during his final battle against Kaido, Luffy embodies the very spirit of pirate freedom. Discover his official Luffy Wanted Poster, reproduced faithfully from the manga.
Roronoa Zoro — The Right Hand of the Future King
Elite swordsman and first mate of the Straw Hats, Zoro debuted at Sabaody with a bounty of 120 million Berries. After two years of training under Dracule Mihawk on Kuraigana Island, he reached a formidable level, defeating King the Conflagration on Onigashima. His current bounty stands at 1,111,000,000 Berries, a testament to his recognition as the right hand of a Yonko. His goal: to become the world’s greatest swordsman. The Zoro Wanted Poster is a must-have for fans of the Roronoa.
Trafalgar D. Water Law — The Surgeon of Death
Captain of the Heart Pirates and user of the Ope Ope no Mi (Op-Op Fruit), Trafalgar D. Water Law entered Sabaody with a bounty of 200 million Berries. A former member of the Seven Warlords (Shichibukai), he formed a grand alliance with Luffy to take down Doflamingo and then Kaido. His bounty has now reached 3 billion Berries, placing him in an extremely exclusive elite. Although recently defeated by Shanks near the Elbaf archipelago, Law remains a peerless strategist and a carrier of the Will of D. His popularity among English-speaking fans is massive — his Law Wanted Poster is one of our best-sellers.
Eustass Kid — The Magnet Broken by Shanks
Captain of the Kid Pirates and user of a magnetic Devil Fruit, Eustass Kid initially shared the Supernova bounty record with Luffy (315 million Berries). After defeating Big Mom alongside Law on Onigashima, he became a Yonko with a 3-billion-Berry bounty. However, his ambition led him to challenge Shanks near Elbaf: Kid was defeated in that confrontation, bringing a brutal end to his reign. His tragic arc illustrates the merciless brutality of the New World.
Killer — The Smiling Massacre
Killer, Kid’s right hand and second-in-command of the Kid Pirates, entered the Worst Generation with a bounty of 162 million Berries. After being captured, he was forced by Kaido at Wano Country to eat a defective SMILE Devil Fruit, temporarily becoming Kamazo the Manslayer. Freed following the allies’ victory across Wano, his bounty climbed to 200 million Berries. His fate remains uncertain following Kid’s defeat at Shanks’s hands, but he remains a strategic pivot for the surviving Kid Pirates in the New World.
Basil Hawkins — The Card Magician
Captain of the Hawkins Pirates and user of the Wara Wara no Mi (straw ability), Basil Hawkins had a bounty of 249 million Berries at Sabaody. Known for his tarot card predictions and his ability to transfer his wounds into straw dolls, he sided with Kaido upon arriving in the New World. That opportunistic alliance cost him his life: Hawkins died in Wano Country, defeated by Killer during the assault on Onigashima. His final bounty was 320 million Berries, modest compared to the other survivors.
Scratchmen Apoo — The Musician Pirate
Captain of the On-Air Pirates and user of the Oto Oto no Mi (sound powers), Scratchmen Apoo arrived at Sabaody with a bounty of 198 million Berries. A Fishman with devastating sonic abilities, he betrayed the Supernova alliance by secretly joining Kaido’s Beast Pirates. His bounty climbed to 350 million Berries before he was defeated in Wano Country. His arc illustrates how opportunism always ends up backfiring on pirates in Oda’s world.
X Drake — The Undercover Dinosaur
A former Marine Rear Admiral turned pirate, X Drake led the Drake Pirates with a bounty of 222 million Berries. User of an ancient Zoan Devil Fruit (Allosaurus), he briefly served as one of the Tobi Roppo of the Beast Pirates. The truth exploded in Wano: Drake is in reality an undercover agent of SWORD, the Marines’ secret unit. His bounty has never been updated, remaining at 222 million Berries — a convenient cover for his clandestine operations against the Yonko.
Jewelry Bonney — Kuma’s Daughter
The only woman in the Worst Generation, Jewelry Bonney entered Sabaody with a bounty of 140 million Berries and the mysterious power to manipulate age. The major revelation came on Egghead Island: Bonney is the biological daughter of Bartholomew Kuma, a former Warlord (Shichibukai) and companion of Dragon. Her current bounty of 320 million Berries reflects her growing involvement against the World Government. Our Bonney Wanted Poster faithfully captures the manga aesthetic.
Urouge — The Fallen Monk
Captain of the Fallen Monk Pirates, Urouge is the most mysterious Supernova of the group. With an initial bounty of 108 million Berries, rumour has it he defeated one of Big Mom’s commanders after Marineford, before virtually disappearing from the storyline. His bounty has never been updated. No significant appearance since the Punk Hazard arc. His fate remains one of the great unresolved mysteries of the saga, suggesting a potential return during the final phase of One Piece announced by Eiichiro Oda.
Capone Bege — The Mafia Boss
Captain of the Firetank Pirates and user of the Shiro Shiro no Mi (castle ability), Capone Bege had a bounty of 138 million Berries at Sabaody. An old-school mafia-style pirate, he joined the Big Mom Pirates through marriage before turning against Charlotte Linlin. Bege formed an alliance with Luffy during the Whole Cake Island arc, playing a pivotal role in the Straw Hats’ escape. His bounty peaks at 350 million Berries, and he remains a strategic ally of the new Yonko Luffy against the established powers of the New World.
The Evolution of the Supernovas After the Timeskip
The post-Marineford era reshaped the Worst Generation. Three members became Yonko: Luffy (after Onigashima), Eustass Kid (recently defeated by Shanks at Elbaf), and Trafalgar D. Water Law (3 billion Berries). This ascent confirms the prophecy: the Sabaody generation is overturning the order established since Gol D. Roger’s era. On the Marines’ side, X Drake was working for SWORD from the very beginning. On the losses side, Hawkins died in Wano Country and Apoo was neutralised. Bege has operated as Luffy’s ally since Whole Cake Island. Bonney is emerging as a key figure at Egghead Island thanks to her ties with Kuma and the Revolutionary Army. Only Urouge remains a ghost of the saga.
Why Called the “Worst Generation”?
The nickname “Worst Generation” was coined by the World Government’s press in the wake of the Sabaody incident. During that arc, the 11 Supernovas each caused major incidents: Luffy struck a Celestial Dragon (Saint Charloss), Zoro drew his sword before another one, Jewelry Bonney defied Admiral Kizaru (Borsalino), while Kid and Killer massacred the Marines of the archipelago. For the World Government, seeing 11 young captains with bounties exceeding 100 million Berries simultaneously emerge — all ready to challenge the celestial order — represented an unprecedented threat since Roger’s era. The term “Worst Generation” thus combines institutional fear and a forced acknowledgement of their revolutionary potential.
