Two New Bounties in One Piece Could Surpass Roger and Whitebeard!

by

Summary

  • Rocks D. Xebec is considered the most powerful pirate in history, with his crew being the strongest.
  • Monkey D. Dragon is seen as the world’s worst criminal, known for taking on the World Government.
  • Both characters, Xebec and Dragon, could potentially have bounties surpassing even legendary figures.

In the realm of “One Piece“, a character’s bounty generally reflects their power and influence, especially among pirates. The title “Emperors of the Sea” is held by those with the highest bounties, which are valued in billions of Berries, for instance, Luffy currently holds a bounty of 3 billion Berries. Thus, only the most significant characters across the world usually possess such large bounties.

In the narrative of One Piece, it’s Whitebeard and Gol D. Roger who have held the highest recorded bounties. Being regarded as the most formidable of their eras, Whitebeard boasts a bounty of 5.04 billion berries, while Roger holds the all-time record with an astonishing 5.5 billion. Yet, there are certain One Piece enthusiasts who propose that there could be two characters whose rewards surpass these legendary pirates; let’s explore those possibilities.

Rocks D. Xebec Was The Most Powerful Pirate Of All Time

Affiliation: The Rocks Pirates

First Appearance One Piece, Chapter 957, “Ultimate”
Story Arc Wano

In times predating the reign of Gol D. Roger and Whitebeard, and even before Roger assumed the title of Pirate King, a legendary figure named Rocks D. Xebec wielded power over the seas with unyielding authority. Known as one of the most powerful pirates following Joyboy, his crew, the Rocks Pirates, is still regarded as the mightiest in history. Notable individuals like Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Kaido were once part of this esteemed group.

In this context, I’d rephrase it like this: While including Rocks in the discussion might stir controversy due to Commodore Brannew stating that Roger and Whitebeard had the highest pirate bounties ever, it’s important to remember that there’s inflation within the One Piece universe. This suggests that Rocks probably had the largest bounty during his time, 38 years ago, which was frozen at his death in God Valley. Just like Dorry and Brogy, if we adjust Rocks’ bounty for inflation today, it would likely surpass Roger’s current value.

The fact that he is so notoriously dangerous became clear when Sengoku suggested his group behaved more like terrorists than pirates, launching full-scale attacks on the World Government and confronting them directly instead of merely disobeying their rules. It’s logical for someone operating in such a manner to be viewed as the most dangerous adversary to the organization, leading to an enormous bounty placed upon them.

Among pirates from the olden days, it’s highly likely that Rocks was the toughest, a statement that carries weight given he sailed during the era of legends like Whitebeard and Roger. Furthermore, his ambition stood out as extraordinary – he aspired to rule the entire world, and was relentless in his pursuit, which undoubtedly would have earned him the highest bounty ever recorded.

Monkey D. Dragon Is The World’s Worst Criminal

Affiliation: The Revolutionary Army

First Appearance One Piece, Chapter 100, “The Legend Has Begun”
Story Arc Loguetown

Contrarily, Monkey D. Dragon is often portrayed as one of the most powerful characters and crucial figures in the entire series. Despite a stint with the Navy, he didn’t find the justice he yearned for, leading him to depart and establish the Freedom Fighters. This group served as a model that eventually shaped the Revolutionary Army.

Similar to rocks preceding him, Dragon has escalated the conflict against the World Government, demolishing several key facilities. In the latest manga installment, it appears that Dragon even initiated an assault on Marijois. This escalation of violence has grown so severe that even Imu themselves have traveled to Elbaf at the behest of the Gods’ Knights. They declared that the Holy Land is ablaze, possibly due to the havoc wreaked by Dragon and the Revolutionary Army.

Someday, I promise you, they will all watch as I change the world!

It’s worth noting that Dragon had already garnered the infamous title of the World’s Most Notorious Criminal well before his assault on the Sacred Land began. This is a key reason why many fans think his bounty is indeed the highest in the world of One Piece. While Gol D. Roger was undeniably the Pirate King, there hasn’t been another character since the Void Century who has consistently challenged the World Government as directly and extensively as Dragon has. In fact, his actions have been so significant that even Imu, a figure rarely seen in the overworld, has become involved.

Dragon is not only Luffy’s father but also Garp’s son, which means he is closely related to significant characters within the story and plays a crucial role. Given this, it is believed that he is incredibly powerful, possibly wielding Conqueror’s Haki and potentially possessing a God Fruit. Given his importance and power, it’s possible that Dragon could have the highest bounty in the entire series.

One Piece can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
