The Drama Behind The Numbers
The One Piece universe is ablaze, and no, we’re not talking about an Akainu rampage. Chapter 1058, titled “New Emperors,” has set the fandom on fire with its explosive revelations about the Straw Hat Pirates’ new bounties post-Wano. As they sail further into the treacherous waters of the Grand Line, Monkey D. Luffy and his motley crew are climbing up the most-wanted list faster than Luffy scarfs down a meat skewer.
Updated on August 31, 2023 by Kennedy King: “With One Piece’s final saga now firmly underway, the Straw Hat Pirates have officially begun the last leg of their long-running journey across the Grand Line.”
Monkey D. Luffy: The Three Billion Berry Man
At the forefront, of course, is the main man himself—Monkey D. Luffy, whose bounty now boasts a jaw-dropping three billion Berries. The defeat of Kaido, alongside allies Eustass Kid and Trafalgar D. Water Law, puts Luffy in the league of Emperors. The trio shared equal credit, but make no mistake—Luffy’s awakening of his Devil Fruit powers may well up the ante before we even reach the grand finale of One Piece.
Zoro, Jinbei, Sanji: The Billion Berry Trio
Roronoa Zoro, Jinbei, and Sanji aren’t far behind, all crossing the billion Berry mark. Zoro’s swords clashed with King the Conflagration, pushing his bounty to 1.111 billion Berries, making him a swordsman to watch out for in future arcs. Jinbei, ever the stalwart ally, defeated Who’s Who and climbed to 1.1 billion Berries. Sanji, though likely sulking over his 1.032 billion Berries, awakened his dormant Germa 66 genes during a tense fight against Queen the Plague.
Nico Robin: The Nine Hundred Million Berry Enigma
One of the most surprising hikes in bounty belongs to Nico Robin, who now finds herself at 930 million Berries. Her abilities to read and translate Poneglyphs make her one of the World Government’s most feared individuals. Robin’s bounty is about more than her combat prowess—it’s a marker of the historical revelations she could unleash.
Usopp, Franky, Brook, Nami: The Understated Millionaires
Let’s not forget Usopp, Franky, Brook, and Nami, whose bounties, while not as staggering, tell a story of their own. Usopp’s 500 million Berries are a testament to his audacious claims, while Franky’s 472 million Berries might just be underselling him, given his technological prowess. Brook and Nami have also seen substantial increases, with Brook standing at 383 million Berries and Nami at 366 million.
Chopper: The 1000-Berry Joke That Keeps On Giving
Last but not least, Tony Tony Chopper continues to serve as the series’ running gag, with a bounty of just 1000 Berries. While it’s a 1000-percent increase, the number hardly captures his true value, especially considering his medical expertise.
The Straw Hat Pirates' Post-Wano Arc Total Bounty is
8,816,001,000 Berries.
Breakdown:
Luffy – 3 B
Zoro – 1.111 B
Jinbei – 1.1 B
Sanji – 1.032 B
Robin – 930 M
Usopp – 500 M
Franky – 394 M
Brook – 383 M
Nami – 366 M
Chopper – 1000 🤣#ONEPIECE1058 #ONEPIECE pic.twitter.com/VjnLyw63LB— The Will of Marco (マルコの意志) (@TheWillOfMarco) August 28, 2022
Straw Hat Pirates: An Unstoppable Force
The Straw Hat Pirates are now inarguably one of the most formidable crews in the New World. As they venture deeper into the Grand Line, their newly acquired bounties are a testament to the threats and challenges that lie ahead. With the final saga underway, each bounty holds not just a number, but a narrative, a history, and a foreboding promise of the epic tale that awaits.
