One Piece: Top 7 Highest Pirate Crew Bounties Ranked (March 2026)
The world of One Piece revolves around pirates seeking fame, fortune, and the legendary treasure itself. But how does the World Government measure a pirate crew’s threat level? Through bounties – the ultimate metric of a crew’s collective danger and infamy. I’ve analyzed every major pirate crew to bring you the definitive ranking of the highest pirate crew bounties in One Piece, with some surprising revelations that’ll blow your mind.
Understanding Pirate Crew Bounties in One Piece
Before diving into the rankings, let me explain how crew bounties work. The World Government assigns individual bounties based on a pirate’s threat level, criminal activities, and overall influence. A crew’s total bounty combines all confirmed bounties of its members, creating a staggering sum that represents their collective danger to the world order.
Quick Overview: Top 7 Highest Pirate Crew Bounties in One Piece
| Rank | Pirate Crew | Total Bounty | Notable Members |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Beasts Pirates | 11,719,100,000+ berries | Kaido, King, Queen, Jack |
| 2 | Big Mom Pirates | 10,121,500,000+ berries | Big Mom, Katakuri, Smoothie |
| 3 | Cross Guild | 8,948,000,000 berries | Mihawk, Buggy, Crocodile |
| 4 | Straw Hat Pirates | 8,816,001,000 berries | Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Jinbe |
| 5 | Whitebeard Pirates | 7,480,000,000 berries | Whitebeard, Marco, Ace |
| 6 | Red Hair Pirates | 4,142,900,000+ berries | Shanks (others unknown) |
| 7 | Roger Pirates | 5,564,800,000+ berries | Roger (others unknown) |
Now, let’s explore each crew in detail and uncover what makes their bounties so astronomical.
1. Beasts Pirates – The Apex Predators (11,719,100,000+ Berries)
The Beasts Pirates claim the throne with the highest confirmed crew bounty in One Piece history. Led by Kaido, the “Strongest Creature in the World,” this crew accumulated an astronomical total that reflects their reign of terror across the New World.
Key Members and Their Bounties:
- Kaido: 4,611,100,000 berries – The captain whose desire for destruction knew no bounds
- King (Alber): 1,390,000,000 berries – The right-hand man and strongest All-Star
- Queen: 1,320,000,000 berries – The mad scientist with devastating plagues
- Jack: 1,000,000,000 berries – The relentless “Drought” who never backs down
The Tobiroppo (Flying Six) further boost the crew’s total:
- Who’s-Who: 546,000,000 berries
- Black Maria: 480,000,000 berries
- Sasaki: 472,000,000 berries
- Ulti: 400,000,000 berries
- Page One: 290,000,000 berries
Additional members from the Worst Generation:
- Scratchmen Apoo: 350,000,000 berries
- Basil Hawkins: 320,000,000 berries
- X Drake: 222,000,000 berries (though his status as a SWORD agent complicates this)
What made the Beasts Pirates so formidable wasn’t just their individual strength – it was Kaido’s philosophy of recruiting only the strongest warriors, often absorbing entire crews into his ranks. This created a military force that dominated Wano for decades.
2. Big Mom Pirates – The Family Empire (10,121,500,000+ Berries)
Charlotte Linlin’s crew operates like a mafia family – literally. With 85 children serving as officers and their spouses joining the ranks, the Big Mom Pirates built their astronomical bounty through sheer numbers and terrifying individual power.
Notable Bounties:
- Charlotte “Big Mom” Linlin: 4,388,000,000 berries
- Charlotte Katakuri: 1,057,000,000 berries – The perfect older brother
- Charlotte Smoothie: 932,000,000 berries – Sweet Commander
- Charlotte Cracker: 860,000,000 berries – The biscuit soldier creator
- Charlotte Perospero: 700,000,000 berries – The candy manipulator
- Charlotte Snack: 600,000,000 berries – Former Sweet Commander
Non-family members also contribute significantly:
- Baron Tamago: 429,000,000 berries
- Pekoms: 330,000,000 berries
The crew’s true strength lies in their vast network across Totto Land, with each Charlotte child governing an island. Many members have unconfirmed bounties, suggesting the crew’s actual total could be even higher.
3. Cross Guild – The Marine Hunters (8,948,000,000 Berries)
The newest entry to the Emperor-level crews, Cross Guild shocked the world by flipping the script – they put bounties on Marines! This criminal syndicate absorbed Buggy’s Delivery and emerged as a powerhouse.
The Triumvirate:
- Dracule Mihawk: 3,590,000,000 berries – The World’s Strongest Swordsman
- Buggy the Clown: 3,189,000,000 berries – The “leader” who failed upward
- Sir Crocodile: 1,965,000,000 berries – The mastermind behind it all
Additional confirmed members:
- Daz Bones (Mr. 1): 75,000,000 berries (likely higher now)
- Galdino (Mr. 3): 24,000,000 berries (outdated)
What makes Cross Guild unique is the irony – Buggy is publicly viewed as the leader despite being the weakest of the three founders. The organization’s true power comes from Mihawk and Crocodile, who use Buggy as a figurehead while pulling the strings.
4. Straw Hat Pirates – The Rising Stars (8,816,001,000 Berries)
From humble beginnings in East Blue to defeating two Emperors, the Straw Hats’ journey reflects in their bounties. After the Wano arc, their collective bounty skyrocketed, cementing their status as a Yonko crew.
Current Bounties:
- Monkey D. Luffy: 3,000,000,000 berries – The Fifth Emperor
- Roronoa Zoro: 1,111,000,000 berries – The future world’s strongest swordsman
- Jinbe: 1,100,000,000 berries – The Knight of the Sea
- Vinsmoke Sanji: 1,032,000,000 berries – The cook with burning passion
- Nico Robin: 930,000,000 berries – The only person who can read Poneglyphs
- Usopp: 500,000,000 berries – “God” Usopp
- Franky: 394,000,000 berries – The cyborg shipwright
- Brook: 383,000,000 berries – The Soul King
- Nami: 366,000,000 berries – The navigator
- Tony Tony Chopper: 1,000 berries – Still seen as a pet!
The Straw Hats’ rapid bounty growth reflects their direct challenges to the World Government, from burning their flag at Enies Lobby to toppling Emperors in Wano.
5. Whitebeard Pirates – The Fallen Legends (7,480,000,000 Berries)
Once the world’s strongest pirate crew, the Whitebeard Pirates commanded respect across all seas. Their bounties reflect their golden age before Marineford.
Known Bounties:
- Edward “Whitebeard” Newgate: 5,046,000,000 berries – The world’s strongest man
- Marco the Phoenix: 1,374,000,000 berries – First Division Commander
- Portgas D. Ace: 550,000,000 berries – Second Division Commander
- Izo: 510,000,000 berries – Sixteenth Division Commander
Subordinate crews also contributed:
- Little Oars Jr.: 550,000,000 berries
- Squard: 210,000,000 berries
Many division commanders like Jozu and Vista have unconfirmed bounties, suggesting the crew’s peak total was significantly higher than what we know.
6. Red Hair Pirates – The Mysterious Elite (4,142,900,000+ Berries)
Despite being an Emperor crew, most Red Hair Pirates bounties remain unknown. Only Shanks’ bounty has been revealed, leaving their true collective strength a mystery.
- Red-Haired Shanks: 4,048,900,000 berries
The crew’s officers – Benn Beckman, Lucky Roux, Yasopp, and others – undoubtedly carry substantial bounties. Their reputation as the most balanced Emperor crew suggests their total could rival any other crew once fully revealed.
7. Roger Pirates – The Pirate King’s Legacy (5,564,800,000+ Berries)
The crew that conquered the Grand Line and found the One Piece remains shrouded in mystery. Only their captain’s bounty is known:
- Gol D. Roger: 5,564,800,000 berries – The highest individual bounty ever
Members like Silvers Rayleigh, Scopper Gaban, and Kozuki Oden surely had massive bounties, but these remain unconfirmed. As the only crew to reach Laugh Tale, their collective bounty at their peak was likely astronomical.
The Evolution of Crew Bounties
Looking at these numbers, I’ve noticed fascinating patterns:
- Power Consolidation: Modern crews (Beasts, Big Mom) achieved higher totals through massive memberships
- Quality vs. Quantity: Smaller crews (Roger, Red Hair) rely on elite members
- The Yonko Effect: Becoming an Emperor crew dramatically increases all member bounties
- World Government Bias: Bounties don’t always reflect true strength (looking at you, Buggy)
Frequently Asked Questions
Which pirate crew currently has the highest active bounty?
The Cross Guild technically has the highest active crew bounty at 8,948,000,000 berries, as both the Beasts Pirates and Big Mom Pirates were disbanded after their captains’ defeats in Wano.
Why is Buggy’s bounty so high despite being weak?
The World Government believes Buggy leads Cross Guild and commands both Mihawk and Crocodile. This misunderstanding, combined with his past as Roger’s crewmate and his influence over former Impel Down prisoners, inflated his bounty to 3,189,000,000 berries.
Will the Straw Hat Pirates surpass the highest crew bounties?
Given their trajectory and Luffy’s goal of becoming Pirate King, the Straw Hats will likely achieve the highest crew bounty by series end. Each major arc significantly increases their bounties, and they’re already closing in on the top spots.
How do Marine bounties from Cross Guild compare?
Cross Guild uses a star system where each star equals 100 million berries. Fleet Admiral Sakazuki has a 5 billion berry bounty (5 crowns), while Admirals carry 3 billion berry bounties. This revolutionary system has completely changed the power dynamics in the One Piece world.
Are there any crews with potential hidden high bounties?
The Blackbeard Pirates (currently at 4,194,200,000+ berries) are rapidly growing stronger. Revolutionary Army bounties remain largely unknown but could be substantial. The full extent of Shanks’ crew also remains a mystery.
The Future of Pirate Crew Bounties
As we approach the final saga of One Piece, crew bounties will likely reach unprecedented heights. The race for the One Piece intensifies, and with it, the World Government’s desperation to stop these crews. Cross Guild’s innovation of placing bounties on Marines has already changed the game – who knows what revolutionary changes await?
The landscape of pirate crew bounties continues evolving, with new alliances forming and old powers falling. Keep checking back as I update these rankings with each new revelation in the manga. After all, in the world of One Piece, today’s rookie could be tomorrow’s Emperor!
