10 Biggest Bounties in One Piece, Ranked

Most of the bounties in One Piece are issued by the Marines for the World Government. The amount of the bounty is calculated by a department within the Marine Headquarters, which is currently run by Commodore Brannew, based on how much of a threat a particular figure is. If the person is discovered to be an even more significant threat, the bounty can be raised, which is what we’ve seen with the first two pirates on our list, Eustass Kid and Monkey D. Luffy. In addition, wanted posters are sent across the One Piece world to make everyone aware that a particular person is wanted and how dangerous they are based on the total bounty amount in Berry.

10. Eustass Kid – 3,000,000,000 Berry

Eustass Kid, also called Captain Kid, is from South Blue and is captain of the Kid Pirates. He also was put in the group of twelve pirates called the Worst Generation for his actions.
