With the war of Wano turning the tides of the era, One Piece has seen some massive bounty increases.
The One Piece world has quite a lot of powerful pirates who have acquired huge bounties over the years. These pirates have established themselves as important figures in the New World, however, their notoriety and infamy wasn’t always that high. The majority of them had humble beginnings and started off with low bounties.
Gradually, the numbers placed on their heads increased and, in some cases, even took a massive jump. From East Blue all the way to Wano, here are the biggest bounty increases that the fans have seen in the story so far.
In the One Piece world, the age of piracy is more turbulent than ever before and that means new pirates keep making waves across the oceans while the old pirates keep solidifying their authority even further. Since the age is more unstable than ever, it only means that the bounties are that much higher at this moment. After the conclusion of the Wano Country arc, the pirates of the One Piece world are starting to make an even bigger mark on the age. Consequently, these pirates were branded with new bounties. While this list went over the former greatest bounty increases in the story, it has now been updated to the latest bounty increases.
