This means Luffy isn't the only one shooting One piece. There are other pirates, specifically other members of the Four Emperors. They will play a key role in the Elbaf Arc, and may even see their rewards increase even more when it's over.

New Emperors of the One Piece World

  • Kaido and Big Mom fell, changing the order forever

  • Luffy and Buggy were inducted into the Yonko ranks

The Four Emperors have existed in the One Piece world for quite some time. While it is not clear exactly when they were founded, the consensus is that they arose after Roger became the Pirate King and at the beginning of the Great Pirate Era. This means that some pirates were considered elite even before the establishment of the Yonko system. After Roger's death, the Yonks were Kaido, Big Mom, Whitebeard, and maybe some other mysterious individual that fans don't know much about. 6 years ago, Shanks, who was an elite pirate at the time, rose to the position of Yonko and the order that fans saw at the beginning of the story was complete. In the Water 7 Saga, Garp revealed the four emperors as Whitebeard, Shanks, Big Mom, and Kaido. This order was quite strong, but it underwent several changes over time. Whitebeard met his demise in the Paramount war arc, and Blackbeard only continued to rise through the ranks.

At some point during the timeskip, Blackbeard rose to the official position of Emperor when he reached a bounty of 2.247 billion berries. In the One Piece post-timeskip, the Yonko order changed again, especially after the events of the Wano Country Arc. With the fall of Kaido and Big Mom, two new emperors were elected, namely Luffy and Buggy.

Luffy was given the position of emperor by defeating Kaid and played a key role in the downfall of two emperors, while Buggy was emperor simply due to his incredible parentage and the consensus among the people of the world that he brought Mihawk and Crocodile to heel and made them his followers. As such, the new Imperial Order that was established in One Piece consists of Luffy, Buggy, Blackbeard, and Shanks.

Why the new emperors need higher rewards

Unlike the previous era of emperors, the new emperors are still on the rise in one way or another. This is true of each of them, and at the same time they are much more ambitious than the previous emperors ever were. For example, fans know that Luffy is the man who will become the Pirate King, which also clearly means that his bounty will continue to grow as he grows stronger over time. Blackbeard, while very powerful, is far from the finished article, and that's not going to stop anytime soon in the Final Saga. Blackbeard will also receive a higher reward at some point in the following arc.

Looking at Buggy, he's only been emperor for a few weeks and the only way he can go from here is up. Buggy and his Cross Guild are a newly formed organization and will surely gain power and influence over time. As this happens, Buggy will try to get closer to One Piece and thus gain even higher rewards.

This leaves Shanks, who until recently was considered a rather peaceful pirate. But now he has started making erratic moves that have the world government wary of him.

At the same time, Shanks is now openly fighting for One piecewhich means he's only now getting serious. All things considered, Shanks will now be more notorious than ever, and his actions will most certainly earn him an even greater reward, perhaps after the events of Elbaf.

As such, each new emperor will most likely receive a new reward, perhaps after the events of Elbaf, one way or another. This would essentially position them as a major player for claiming One pieceand one of them reaches the Last Island, gets his hands on the treasure, and unleashes hell on the world by revealing the secrets that lie there.

New rewards of the four emperors after Elbaf

Shanks will probably still have the highest reward

Of course, fans might wonder what the new Emperors' rewards will be after the events of Elbaf. It is very hard to guess what exactly the rewards will be, but it is safe to say that some of them will get a significant increase. For example, Luffy is still only at three billion berries and fans know he deserves much higher simply based on the fact that he is just as infamous as Kid and Law. There is no reason why he should have the same reward level as Kid or Law. Besides, he has achieved quite a lot since then and should deserve a 4 billion battery reward, or maybe even more.

For other emperors, their reward increase depends on what they do in the Elbaf Arc. Blackbeard is already at 3.996 billion berries, which means his bounty increase won't be as staggering as one might expect. But Blackbeard should still break into the 5 billion club or move around it. He seems to be planning an attack on Marija, as hinted at in the Elbaf arc, and it's entirely possible that he'll succeed. If he does so, then it is inevitable for him to get an even higher reward that exceeds four billion.

Then there's Buggy, whose Cross Guild is just getting started. It's inevitable for Buggy to get a higher reward because the Cross Guild will make huge moves as time goes on, and as that happens, Buggy will only continue to become more infamous. Finally, Shanks has a reward of 4.0489 billion berries, and that reward is already high enough on its own. But Shanks had been quietly on the sidelines for a while, and now that he was finally moving, his power would surely force the World Government to increase his reward even more. Shanks is the next Roger, and it shouldn't come as a surprise to fans if his bounty starts hovering around the 5 billion berry mark after the Elbaf arc concludes.

One Piece is available to read through Viz Media. Fans can officially read the series for free on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The release date for the next One Piece chapter, One Piece 1136, is set for January 19, 2025.
