Both Trafalgar Law and Eustass Kid reached new heights in their battle against one of the Emperors of the Sea, Big Mom. Their joint victory over Big Mom wasn’t just a milestone; it was a revolution. This triumph alone secured them 3 billion Berries bounties.

Law’s surgical precision with the Ope Ope no Mi and Kid’s raw magnetism made them the perfect duo against an Emperor. Although they suffered crushing defeats at the hands of Blackbeard and Shanks, their journey on the Grand Line isn’t over yet.

9. Monkey D. Luffy: 3,000,000,000 Berries

Title: Emperor of the Sea
Pirate Crew: Straw Hat Pirates
Devil Fruit: Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika
Previous Bounties: 30M to 1.5B

After defeating the Strongest Creature in the World, Luffy’s bounty rose to 3 billion berries, making him one of the most prominent figures in One Piece’s world. That battle didn’t just crown him as one of the Emperors of the Sea; it confirmed his status as Joy Boy reborn.

Unlike other bounty holders on the list, Luffy’s time on the seas is shockingly short, spanning only a few years. There is still a long road ahead of him. And by awakening his Devil Fruit, Luffy has opened doors to new heights of power. Mastering his new power will help him surpass even the legends on this list.

8. Buggy: 3,189,000,000 Berries

Title: Emperor of the Sea
Organization: Cross Guild
Devil Fruit: Bara Bara no Mi
Previous Bounty: 15M

Buggy might be the only pirate on the list whose feats don’t quite match his bounty. The irony of Buggy’s journey is what makes it unforgettable. From his Roger Pirates past to his stint as a Warlord, Buggy has always stumbled into the right place at the right time.

With Mihawk and Crocodile at his side, his image as the “face” of Cross Guild only strengthens. His comedic missteps hide one of the most influential names in the seas.

7. Dracule Mihawk: 3,590,000,000 Berries

Title: World’s Strongest Swordsman
Organization: Cross Guild
Previous Bounties: N/A

With a 3.59 billion bounty, Mihawk sits higher than most Emperors, showing why he is called the greatest swordsman alive. Unlike others, he doesn’t seek fame or chaos, as his interest lies in perfecting his swordsmanship and facing worthy opponents.

His rivalry with Shanks in the past already proved his caliber. And by being associated with the Cross Guild, he has once again entered the spotlight. His bounty shows Zoro still has a long way to go before challenging him for the his title.

6. Marshall D. Teach (Blackbeard): 3,996,000,000 Berries

Title: Emperor of the Sea
Devil Fruits: Yami Yami no Mi / Gura Gura no Mi
Pirate Crew: Blackbeard Pirates
Previous Bounty: 2,247,600,000

As the only pirate with two Devil Fruits, darkness and earthquakes, Blackbeard is a force to be reckoned with. His bounty stems not just from his overwhelming power but also from his hidden lineage. His rise after the Rocky Port Incident and his relentless hunt for more powers make him a constant danger to both pirates and the World Government.

Though an Emperor, Teach’s ambitions exceed the title. With nearly 4 billion on his head, his bounty signals that even among Emperors, he is uniquely feared. For now, only Shanks outranks him among the living.

5. Shanks: 4,048,900,000 Berries

Title: Emperor of the Sea
Pirate Crew: Red-Haired Pirates
Previous Bounty: 1,040,000,000

From an apprentice of the King of the Pirates to becoming one of the Emperors of the Sea, Shanks has come a long way. Despite his mystery, his presence is enough to demand respect across the seas. Even the Marines had to withdraw after he arrived at Marineford.

Unlike Kaido or Big Mom, Shanks doesn’t rule through terror. His quiet authority and unmatched Haki speak for him. He is said to be the strongest Haki user alive. With a bounty of just over 4 billion berries, his name alone carries weight no other pirate can match.

4. Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom): 4,388,000,000 Berries

Title: Former Emperor
Status: Unknown
Pirate Crew: Big Mom Pirates

Big Mom’s unpredictability and raw ferocity earned her a place among history’s most feared pirates. From her early days with the Rocks Pirates to her reign as an Emperor of the Sea, Linlin carved a path of terror few could rival.

Despite her fall in Wano, Big Mom’s bounty reflects decades of dominance. Although her fate remains uncertain, her 4.38 billion Berries reward makes her the most powerful female pirate in One Piece.

3. Kaido: 4,611,100,000 Berries

Title: Former Emperor of the Sea
Status: Unknown
Pirate Crew: Beasts Pirates

Kaido’s bounty represents his reign as the Strongest Creature in the World. As the leader of the Beasts Pirates, his crew of Zoan users, along with his own mythical dragon form, made him almost untouchable. Even the Marines weren’t able to execute him after countless captures and tortures.

His downfall came at Luffy’s hands in Wano, but that doesn’t erase decades of unmatched dominance. With a bounty of 4.61 billion berries, Kaido remains one of the most legendary figures to ever sail the seas.

2. Edward Newgate (Whitebeard): 5,046,000,000 Berries

Status: Deceased
Pirate Crew: Whitebeard Pirates
Title: Strongest Man in the World

Whitebeard isn’t known as the Strongest Man in the World for nothing. A bounty of 5.04 billion Berries perfectly fits that title. The only pirate who could rival him in a fight was none other than the Pirate King himself, Gol D. Roger. His Devil Fruit, Gura Gura no Mi, allows him to create vibrations and shockwaves, which can even split the sea.

Even in his final moments at Marineford, Whitebeard stood as an unshakable pillar, shaping the world with every strike. Whitebeard’s rivalry against Roger and his role as a father figure secured him a place among the greatest pirates.

1. Gol D. Roger: 5,564,800,000 Berries

Status: Deceased
Pirate Crew: Roger Pirates
Title: King of the Pirates

Such a massive bounty is perfectly suitable for the King of the Pirates. As the man who conquered the Grand Line and discovered the One Piece, he became the ultimate enemy of the World Government. Even during his execution, his final word started the Great Pirate Era, inspiring millions of people across the sea to find his ultimate treasure.

He may not have been the strongest pirate, but his influence tipped the scales. With a bounty of 5.56 billion Berries, he has set a target for the new generation to reach.

As One Piece heads into its final saga, we may see some changes in this list in the future. We can even expect new bounty posters after the end of the ongoing Elbaf arc. By going head-to-head with Kizaru and standing firm against Saturn, Luffy may soon surpass 4 billion Berries, taking him closer to his goal of becoming the Pirate King.
