One Piece: Luffy’s Remaining Bounties, Explained

by

As a long-time fan of One Piece, I must say that the journey of Monkey D. Luffy has been nothing short of thrilling! From his humble beginnings as a boy dreaming of becoming the Pirate King, to his current status as a Yonko, Luffy’s life is a testament to the power of perseverance and determination.

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

Key Takeaways

  • Luffy beat Kaido and became a Yonko, earning a 3 billion berry bounty.
  • Luffy’s bounty may rise after Elbaf, possibly to cross the 4 billion berry mark.
  • Luffy will likely gain higher bounties as he goes on to find the One Piece and challenge the World Government.

In simpler terms, we can say that Luffy is a significant character in the popular series “One Piece,” holding one of the four titles as Sea Emperors. With recent revelations about the law associated with the Sun God Nika and Luffy’s unique abilities, the storyline has become even more intriguing than it was before.

The incidents in “One Piece” have likewise impacted other facets of the story, including Luffy’s pirate reputation on the open seas, which in turn boosted his bounty. Following the Wano arc, Luffy was recognized as one of the Four Sea Emperors and granted an exceptionally high bounty. However, as followers are aware, this isn’t Luffy’s final bounty; he is destined to accumulate more rewards as “One Piece” progresses.

Luffy’s Current Bounty Of 3 Billion Berries

  • Luffy Is A Yonko Now
  • Beating Kaido Earned Luffy a 3 Billion Bounty

At present, Luffy boasts a reward of 3 billion berries, bestowed upon him following the War of Onigashima. In the Wano Country saga, Luffy frequently engaged with Kaido in combat. Their first encounter was in Kuri, where Luffy suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Kaido with minimal resistance. After being incarcerated in Udon, Luffy dedicated himself to intense training which eventually led to the awakening of his Armament Haki’s internal destruction grade. With his Armament Haki significantly enhanced, Luffy was able to endure several rounds against Kaido. In their subsequent encounter on the rooftop of Onigashima, Luffy demonstrated that he could inflict damage upon Kaido in battle and potentially cause him severe injury.

However, Luffy’s internal destruction Haki wasn’t sufficient to inflict significant harm on Kaido. Eventually, he needed to activate Advanced Conqueror’s Haki. In a similar vein, when this power alone didn’t suffice, Luffy resorted to Devil Fruit Awakening, unlocking Gear 5. Combined, these powers ultimately led to Luffy defeating Kaido. These combined abilities not only resulted in his victory over Kaido but also established him as one of the strongest characters in the One Piece world, earning him a bounty of 3 billion berries and placing him among the Four Emperors of the Sea.

To numerous supporters, Luffy’s bounty, though undeniably considerable, seemed insufficient. With a whopping 3 billion Berries at stake, it’s clear that this is a substantial bounty; however, Luffy found himself in the same league as Kid and Law, despite evidently outmatching them in strength. This is puzzling given that Luffy was the one who vanquished Kaido, the strongest creature on Earth, a feat that warrants greater recognition.

Why Luffy Will Get A New Bounty After Elbaf

Luffy’s Next Bounty Is On The Horizon

It’s evident that fans felt dissatisfied with Luffy’s current bounty of 3 billion berries, but it’s important to note that this isn’t set in stone. Instead, it seems likely that Luffy will keep rising in power and notoriety within the world of One Piece, which suggests we can expect even larger bounties for him as the story unfolds. The anticipation among fans about future bounty increases is high, especially after Luffy’s actions on Egghead Island, where he essentially destroyed a vast Marine Fleet and managed to escape from the grasp of the World Government, even with the Five Elders involved. This event strongly indicates that Luffy will receive a new bounty soon.

Currently, Oda did not modify Luffy’s bounty following Egghead. However, this might imply that Luffy’s bounty could increase substantially after Elbaf, especially if the Government gets involved in the storyline somehow. At present, it seems unlikely that the Government is on their way to Elbaf, but Oda may plan for Elbaf to become the target of an Ancient Weapon. If this happens and Luffy manages to save the country, his bounty could skyrocket, potentially surpassing even 4 billion berries.

It could make sense for Luffy’s bounty to surpass 4 billion if he engages in a fight with Shanks, given that Shanks currently holds a bounty of 4.0489 billion berries. Typically, when Luffy defeats someone with a higher bounty, his own reward increases. This pattern has been consistent throughout his battles against characters like Cracker, Katakuri, and even Kaido. Therefore, if Luffy were to defeat or even match Shanks in combat, it’s likely that his bounty would also increase significantly, positioning him at the same level as the Red-Haired Pirate Emperor.

Luffy’s Final Bounty After Becoming Pirate King

Luffy’s Bounty Will Cross The 5 Billion Mark

Regardless of whether Luffy gets a new bounty after the events of the Elbaf or not, fans know that he will definitely get a new bounty after he finds the One Piece. Luffy will go on to claim this treasure eventually, and he will find the true history of the world, the true meaning of the D, and the true use of the Ancient Weapons. He will likely lead to these secrets being leaked out as well, and the people of One Piece will find out about the truth of the world. These matters will essentially bring Luffy’s destiny to him, where he will have to then face off against the World Government. This is going to be a massive event in the series, and for the Government, Luffy is going to be the most wanted man. Clearly, at this point in the story, Luffy’s bounty will have to surpass 5 billion berries

It’s not unexpected for fans to anticipate that Luffy’s bounty could surpass even that of Roger, as he will achieve something that even Roger didn’t – waging war against the World Government. This is significant because Luffy is the chosen one, and Roger was too early in his journey. By the finale of One Piece, it’s predicted that Luffy’s bounty could reach at least 5.6 billion berries, with the possibility of it being even higher.

Absolutely, it’s safe to say that Luffy reaching his destination is still a ways off, so fans will have to be patient and see how he gets there. Rest assured, before “One Piece” concludes, Luffy will acquire at least two more bounties, and Oda will undoubtedly make the circumstances leading up to these new bounties thrilling. All that’s left is for fans to relax and enjoy the story as it unfolds.

You can access “One Piece” through Viz Media. Fans can read it officially and without charge on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus applications. Mark your calendars as the next chapter of “One Piece,” One Piece 1134, is scheduled for release on December 22, 2024.
