The relatively high amount for a first time bounty was justified as Luffy had defeated the top 3 pirates in East Blue, each with a bounty of more than 10 million Nezumi, wanting revenge against Luffy, personally ensured a bounty of 30,000,000 on him, giving him the highest bounty in East Blue. įirst Bounty: At the end of the Arlong Park Arc, after Luffy defeated Arlong, the Straw Hats beat up the corrupt Marine captain Nezumi in order to force him to return Nami's treasure. The Straw Hat Pirates' current bounties as of the Wano Country Arc. The Straw Hat Pirates' bounties after the Dressrosa Arc. As such, the values may be just recommendations, and the effort taken to capture the criminals and their past actions may factor into where they are placed, but not affect their bounty since the Marines see no need to change it now that they have been arrested. Strangely, Bentham is an exception to this rule, having been imprisoned in level 3 with a bounty of merely 32,000,000. Level 6 seems to use special requirements. It is unknown if level 1 has a minimal value, although Buggy commented that every prisoner from level 2 that escaped with him holds a bounty higher than his 15,000,000. Levels 3 and 5 require bounties of 50,000,000 and 100,000,000 respectively, and the values required for others levels were not revealed. While several prisoners from Impel Down do not hold any specific value, Impel Down orders its prisoners from the bounty on their head. Newcomer Blackbeard is an exception, having managed to get in by capturing Portgas D.
Most of the Seven Warlords of the Sea had former bounties since the first requirement to join the group is being recognized world-wide so one's notoriety scares criminals. Gecko Moria was first introduced by Robin as merely holding a bounty higher than Luffy's. When Igaram first mentioned Crocodile's former bounty, he said it was 80,000,000 while it actually is 81,000,000. For example, Nico Robin's specific bounty was not made clear until after it was known she had one. In the series, many bounties are revealed - either by the author in a reference box, said by a character (like Shakuyaku naming the nine Supernovas not part of the Straw Hat Pirates), or a bounty poster being revealed (although the value may not always be fully accurate or fully shown, as with the Red Arrows Pirates).
