The World Government inOne Pieceassigns a bounty to an individual depending on the level of threat that they pose. There are other factors that affect the assignment of bounties of an individual. On rare occasions, the bounties of a character may not provide an accurate threat level.

However, the bounties are usually spot-on and give a correct idea of an individual’s notoriety. So, a higher bounty implies that the individual is very powerful. There are very few characters inOnePiecethat have a bounty of a billion beris.

11Charlotte Katakuri

One of the Three Sweet Commanders, Charlotte Katakuri is among the strongest characters to be introduced in the series. Katakuri possesses the Mochi Mochi no Mi, which is a special paramecia type devil fruit.

10Queen

Despite his antics, Queen is a highly intelligent individual, who has created many deadly weapons. His fatal viruses earned him the moniker of “Queen the Plague.”

Queen has done several modifications to his body, which allows him to catch his enemies off-guard and thus, paves way for a lethal strike. Queen’s bounty of 1,320,000,000 beris puts him slightly behind King.

His Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pteranodon grants him increased strength and recovery. Furthermore, the devil fruit also grants King the ability to fly. Being a member of the notorious Animal Kingdom Pirates, his bounty of 1,390,000,000 beris is unsurprising.

7Monkey D. Luffy

Monkey D. Luffy is the captain ofthe Straw Hat Pirates. Luffy is capable of using all three types of Haki, and he combines Haki excellently with his devil fruit. His exploits during the Whole Cake Island arc resulted in his bounty going up to 1,500,000,000 beris.

This increase in the bounty caused him to be labeled as the Fifth Emperor, that is a mighty title. Currently, Luffy is fighting Kaido, and his bounty is only going to increase further.

6Blackbeard

Luffy Advanced Ryou

He is already considered a major threat by the World Government and he quite rightly deserves his bounty of 2,247,600,000 beris.

5Shanks

Often shown to be an easygoing individual, Shanks can become an unstoppable monster if his friends are threatened. Shanks is one of the few characters who can use all three types of Haki.

Shanks' true strength remains to be seen, however, that will change in the future arcs. He is the youngest of the Four Emperors and still has an impressive bounty of 4,048,900,000 beris.
