With Luffy's recent bounty increase to

> 1,500,000,000 Berry

I'm starting to wonder if the Marines (or the World Government) actually have
the money to back this up. I'm 99% sure they would get a lot of problems if
e.g. someone turns in Big Mom's complete crew.

So I'm asking: Is there evidence that the marines/government actually paid a
bounty of 1 million berry or more for turning in a (possible dead) criminal?

I'm aware that there are bounties that have been paid, e.g. to Zoro. But that
was small fry. I'm asking about big fish.

question
one-piece
Have the Marines ever paid out a bounty over 1 millon Berry?


The Marines have a huge funding. This is because they belong to the World
Government. Their source of income draws in from taxes from the nations in the
Grand Line, and also from the World Nobles. I'm sure the Celestial Dragons
throw out huge sums of money to ensure their safety and to pamper their
tantrums. This gives a better view point of how the money flows.

Now when the bounties are higher, it doesn't just show how troublesome of a
threat they are to the World Government, but it also shows how notorious they
are among other pirates.

Big fish are often taken out by big shots. If a pirate kills a pirate, surely
they won't go running about asking for the bounty to be rewarded to them.
Because then they'll be caught by the Marines. And with powerhouses like the
Admirals, extreme threats are taken care of efficiently. In such a scenario,
the bounty money needn't be awarded.

There has been no canonical statement in the series which shows that a bounty
of over 1 million Beri was rewarded.

Bonus content from Wikia:

> Bounties are issued with a "Dead or Alive" disclaimer, meaning the reward

> state that bounties are usually only paid in full if the criminal is
> captured alive; up to 30% of the bounty money may be lost by bringing in
> someone dead, since no public execution can be held.
