One Piece's The Worst Generation has been behind some of the biggest events in the series since we saw Luffy set sail for his dream. By this point in the story, we've met them all, and most certainly live up to their reputations.
With all of their antics gaining the attention of the World Government, some of the members of the Worst Generation have some massive targets on their backs, and huge bounties follow them wherever they go. The group has a cumulative bounty of around 15,977,000,000 Berry. While they all earned respectable rewards, these stand out as the top five of the bunch.
7 Anime Arcs Better than Marineford
One Piece's Marineford was monumental, but these anime arcs take it even further.
Bonney Jewelry / Basil Hawkins – 320,000,000 Berry
We don't know much about how Hawkins earned his high rewards. Captain Hawkins Pirates and Beasts Pirate Headliner was first revealed to have a bounty of 249,000,000 Berry, putting him on par with the rest of the worst generation. After the time skip, this increased to 320,000,000 Berry, but the details were never made clear.
Thanks to the events of the Egghead Arc, we got to know a lot more about Bonney. Bonney started out with a bounty of 140,000,000 Berry, likely due to her escape from Cipher Pol and a lack of understanding of her Devil Fruit abilities, leading to her getting a worse reputation than she deserved. What caused her bounty to shoot up to 320,000,000 Berry is unknown, but her pursuit of her father probably played a role.
Scratchmen Apoo / Capone Bege – 350,000,000 Berry
We don't know much about what caused Apoo to get the reward that was revealed during the series. Apoo showed in Wano that he and his Oto Oto no Mi can be dangerous in battle, and his abilities likely played a role in him earning a whopping 198,000,000 Berry earlier in the series, with his bounty shooting up to 350,000,000 Berry after the timeskip.
Bege probably earned his first bounty (138,000,000 Berry) by attacking various pirate captains early in the series. This is not an easy task and it played a big part in him becoming part of the worst generation. After the timeskip, Bege's bounty jumped up to 300,000,000 Berries and was increased to 350,000,000 Berries after his involvement in the assassination attempt on Big Mom. That's not a huge increase considering how big a move it was, but it still puts him pretty high up the list.
Roronoa Zoro — 1,111,000,000 Berries
Zoro has been by Luffy's side almost since the beginning of the Straw Hat Captain's journey. During that time, Zoro has proven to be an incredibly capable swordsman and crew member, performing brilliantly and being the main reason the crew has gotten as far as they have.

Zoro would be recognized as a member of the worst generation after receiving a reward of 120,000,000 Berry for what happened in Enies Lobby. After Dressrose, Zoro's reward increased to 320,000,000 Berry. But Zoro was able to reclass himself after the events of Wano, where he was awarded a reward of 1,111,000,000 Berry for his efforts in raiding Onigashi.
Monkey D. Luffy / Trafalgar D. Water Law / Eustass Kid – 3,000,000,000 Berry
3 of the most notable members of the worst generation, Luffy, Law and Kid, all did their fair share of crazy things that soon put them in the sights of the world government. Luffy had the most updates to his reward in the series, starting at 30,000,000 Berry at the beginning and eventually reaching the whopping 3,000,000,000 Berry that he is today, in addition to being recognized as the Emperor.
Law's first known land was 80,000,000 Berry, and before the timeskip it would have been up to 200,000,000. After the timeskip, it was increased to 440,000,000 Berry, but was disabled when he became a warrior. When he and Luffy teamed up to take down Donquixote and his crew, Law lost his warrior status and the reward was increased to 500,000,000 Berry. Kid started off with a massive 315,000,000 Bounty thanks to terrorizing civilians early in his career (although we don't know how much of that is true). After the timeskip, it was increased to 470,000,000 Berry for unknown reasons. After Kid and Law took down Big Mom, both of their bounties shot up to 3,000,000,000 Berry, making them and Luffy some of the most prolific members of the Worst Generation.
Marshall D. Teach — 3,996,000,000
Blackbeard causes all sorts of problems One piece world. Even before he was revealed to be the son of the legendary Rocks D. Xebca, Teach was slated to play a large role in the series' final saga, leading one of the series' most iconic crews and being involved in some of the aftermath.
Blackbeard's first known bounty was 2,247,600,000 Berries, a whopping amount that matches his record to date. At some point it skyrocketed to 3,996,000,000 Berry, giving him one of the highest active pirate rewards in the series.
