One Piece: The Evolution of Luffy Bounties From The Beginning Until Now

Since the beginning of his adventure as a pirate, Luffy has attracted the attention of the marines. After causing big chaos in the ocean, Luffy's bounty has grown from time to time.

In this article, we will discuss the evolution of Luffy's bounties from the beginning of his journey until now. Come on, let's talk about it right away!

30,000,000 Bellies

While sailing on the East Blue, Luffy faced several pirates who were quite feared, such as Buggy, Kuro, Don Krieg, and Arlong.

They were a very strong opponent for Luffy at that time. Even so, Luffy managed to defeat these enemies with his strong determination.

After defeating Arlong, Luffy was able to attract the attention of the navy so that he got a bounty for the first time, which was 30,000,000 Bellies. The bounty price includes a very high price for the level of a East Blue's pirates.

100,000,000 Bellies

Shortly after entering the Grand Line, Luffy and his friends had to deal with a criminal organization called Baroque Works. The organization is led by a former Sichibukai named Crocodile.

In order to help Vivi and save the kingdom of Alabasta, Luffy must fight to the death against Crocodile. At that time, Crocodile was too strong an opponent to deal with so Luffy was defeated several times.

Despite this, Luffy found Crocodile's big weakness. With his strong determination, Luffy was able to defeat Crocodile in battle. After defeating Crocodile, Luffy's bounty rose significantly to reach 100,000,000 Bellies.

300,000,000 Bellies

To save Robin who was detained by CP9 in Enies Lobby, Luffy and his entire crew went to Enies Lobby and rioted there. They had to deal with CP9 members who are very skilled in using the rokushiki technique.

In Luffy's case, he had to fight against Rob Lucci who is known as the strongest agent in CP9 history. In addition, Lucci is known as a rokushiki master and user of the Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Leopard.

During the fight against Lucci, Luffy developed a new technique that we know as Gear 2nd and Gear 3rd. Even though he was almost dead, Luffy finally managed to beat Lucci until his bounty tripled to 300,000,000 Bellies.

400,000,000 Bellies

The Marineford War is known as the biggest battle in the history of One Piece. The war involved two main parties, namely the Navy vs the Whitebeard Pirates and their allies who wanted to save Ace from execution.

Seeing his brother who was about to be executed, Luffy wouldn't let it happen. He fearlessly sneaked into Impel Down until he was involved in the battle at Marineford with other prisoners, such as Ivankov, Jinbe, Crocodile, and Buggy.

Due to the chaos created by Luffy at Impel Down and Marineford, Luffy's bounty has increased to 400,000,000 Bellies.

500,000,000 Bellies

After entering the New World, Luffy just experienced a very serious and tense fight when he faced Donquixote Doflamingo. In that fight, Luffy showed significant results from his two years of training with Rayleigh.

Luffy managed to develop a new transformation technique called Gear 4th which utilizes Haki along with the elasticity of his rubber body. These changes proved to be able to match the power of Doflamingo.

Despite this, Luffy is having a hard time because Doflamingo has awakened his devil fruit. After Luffy defeated Doflamingo at Dressrosa, Luffy's bounty rose slightly higher, which was 500,000,000 Bellies.

1,500,000,000 Belly

To thwart the political marriage between Sanji and Pudding, Luffy and some of his crew went to Big Mom's territory known as Whole Cake Island. There, they encountered various obstacles.

While in WCI, Luffy fought very fiercely against two Big Mom sweet commanders, namely Charlotte Cracker and Charlotte Katakuri. They were both very difficult enemies to beat by Luffy at that time.

Regardless, the fight between Luffy and Katakuri is an unforgettable moment in the One Piece story. Luffy's victory made his bounty rise drastically to 1,500,000,000 Belly.

3,000,000,000 Bellies

Since the beginning of entering the New World, Luffy was interested in defeating the Yonko so that he could achieve his dream of becoming the pirate king. After forming an alliance with Law, Luffy also intends to overthrow Kaido.

This ambition only materialized during the Wano arc storyline. Luffy and his allies fought very fiercely in Onigashima. He must defeat Kaido to fulfill his promise to Momonosuke.

In terms of strength, Kaido is indeed very strong and it is almost impossible to be defeated by Luffy. However, the battle situation changed drastically after Luffy awakened the power of Nika's devil fruit in him.

After defeating Kaido with his new technique, Luffy's bounty rose drastically to 3,000,000,000 Belly. Not only that, he is now crowned as the new Yonko along with Shanks, Blackbeard, and Buggy.
