As Monkey D. Luffy continues his journey in the world of One Piece, his bounty has seen a sharp increase after defeating Gorosei Saturn. The concept of bounties in One Piece is one of the captivating aspects of the series, as it adds prestige to the pirates. Luffy, being the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, is no exception.
In the past, Luffy had mistakenly believed that his bounty had dropped to 150 million berries after his escapades at Whole Cake Island. However, his actual bounty had skyrocketed to 1.5 billion berries. After successfully toppling Kaido and assuming the position of Yonko, Luffy’s bounty doubled to a staggering 3 billion berries.
It is expected that Luffy’s bounty will increase dramatically once the Egghead arc concludes. Based on what happened at Whole Cake Island, it seems that Luffy won’t necessarily have to defeat Gorosei Saturn to obtain a high bounty. However, if Luffy does manage to defeat Gorosei Saturn, his bounty as the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates will undoubtedly soar.
The question arises: what will Luffy’s new bounty be after humiliating Gorosei Saturn in Egghead? To find out, let’s take a look at the progression of Luffy’s bounty. Luffy initially received a bounty after defeating Arlong and liberating Nami’s hometown. His first bounty amounted to 30 million berries. Luffy’s bounty increased to 100 million berries after exposing Crocodile’s deception and thwarting his plans in Alabasta.
Further achievements include Luffy becoming one of the Supernovas, with a bounty of 300 million berries, thanks to his actions against CP9 in Enies Lobby. Luffy’s bounty then reached 400 million berries after his involvement in the Marineford War, where his identity as the son of the Revolutionary Army’s leader was revealed.
Post-timeskip, Luffy’s bounty rose to 500 million berries after defeating Doflamingo and exposing his corruption in Dressrosa. This event played a significant role in the abolition of the Shichibukai system in the One Piece world. Luffy’s bounty then tripled to 1.5 billion berries and earned him the title of Gokou after his exploits at Whole Cake Island.
After toppling Kaido, Luffy’s bounty doubled once again to a staggering 3 billion berries, as he became a Yonko. If Luffy manages to survive Egghead, it is speculated that his bounty may rise to 6 billion berries. This increase is due to Luffy’s successful escapade from a buster call attack, where Gorosei Saturn was present, and Luffy’s activation of the Nika devil fruit.
If Luffy surpasses Gorosei Saturn, his bounty could reach an unprecedented 9 billion berries, making him the holder of the highest bounty in One Piece history. As the young pirate continues to make his mark in the world, it remains to be seen how far his bounty will rise and what new challenges await him on his journey.
