One Piece: Luffy Is Worth 3 Billion Berries, But His Next Bounty After Elbaf Will Be Insanely High

by

This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.

As a die-hard One Piece fan, I can’t help but feel the thrill coursing through my veins as we delve into the Elbaf arc! Echoing Oda’s own words, this storyline serves as a dramatic prelude to the Great War – and let me tell you, things are about to heat up like never before!

The magnificent land of the Giants, Elbaf, has fallen under the control of the Holy Knights and their supreme leader, Imu, along with the demonic horde they’ve summoned. The tension is palpable, and I can hardly wait to see how our beloved Straw Hat Pirates navigate this treacherous new landscape!

Assistance is coming since Luffy’s team will significantly contribute to the ongoing fight. As expected, it won’t be long before Luffy confronts Imu, and when he does, viewers can anticipate a battle unprecedented in the world of One Piece. It’s clear as day that after such a monumental clash, Luffy will receive a higher bounty, which is a given.

Luffy Will Fight Imu In Elbaf

  • Imu Vs Luffy Is Guaranteed To Happen
  • Luffy Will Have To Beat Imu

Currently, the Elbaf arc in One Piece is roughly at its center, with the Loki flashback starting to unfold. This flashback spans approximately 10 chapters, based on the duration of previous story flashbacks. Once this is over, which might take a few months, the focus will likely shift back to Imu and the Holt Knights, implying that Luffy will be preparing for his toughest and most formidable battle yet against his greatest enemy.

Fans are aware that Imu possesses an extraordinary power, bordering on magic, which means Luffy needs to be at his peak when they face off. However, fans also understand that Imu can’t emerge victorious from this battle for two primary reasons. Firstly, if Imu wins, Elbaf will be irrevocably handed over to the World Government, a scenario that must be prevented, given the prophecy foretelling the Giants siding with Nika.

In simpler terms, if Imu defeats Luffy while using Gunko’s weaker form, it suggests that Luffy might not be able to defeat Imu when he’s using his true body. Contrarily, the fact that Imu is currently in Gunko’s body could potentially make it easier for Luffy to win, at least for now.

Luffy’s Bounty Is Bound To Rise Even Higher

The World Government Cannot Hide The Fall Of Holy Knights

If the Holy Knights disintegrate, it’s unlikely that the World Government can conceal this fact, considering they’re already facing challenges from both the Revolutionary Army and potentially the Blackbeard Pirates. The Great War might erupt straight away following the conflicts against Imu, implying that they won’t delay in announcing new bounties.

Luffy Should Be Worth 4 Billion Berries After Elbaf

From where I’m standing, Luffy currently boasts a Bounty of 3 billion Berries, but it’s evident that his next one should be increased, given his growing worthiness. Following his victory over Imu, a Bounty of 4 billion Berries seems fitting for the Straw Hat Captain. Yet, it’s crucial to remember that this amount should still fall short of Shanks’, who stands at an impressive 4.0489 billion Berries. A precise 4 billion would strike the ideal balance in recognition of Luffy’s status as captain.
