In One Piece notorious pirates have a bounty on their heads with Luffy getting
his after defeating Arlong.

It seems obvious to me that the Marines would be the ones who do the payouts
since they are the one who produce the wanted posters, but what happens when a
Marine like Smoker goes after a pirate? Do they get the bounty or some other
reward?

And what about other pirates such with the case when Buggy and Alvida were
about to kill Luffy in Roguetown, would the Marines pay out the bounty to them
if they came to claim it (considering that by killing or bringing in another
pirate is doing the Marine's job for them)

What happens when a Marine or Pirate goes after a bounty


  1. As we see Luffy first got a bounty of 30.000.000 Beli after defeating Arlong. He got this especially because he beat this marine guy who had deas with Arlong (don't remember the name) and that guy wanted Luffy `Dead or Alive`. So the marine checked Luffys enemys - Buggy (15 Mio), Don Creek (17 Mio), Arlong (20 Mio) - based on them he got his 30 Mio.

  2. Sure, I think, the marine has to pay that bounty because they are obvisously the good ones and want them to imprison.

  3. Marines guys won't get the price, the will get some promotion or a title - like we saw after defeating Crocodile with Smoker.

  4. Since Pirates and Marines are the biggest foes and the marine want to destroy all piracy they would catch the pirates instead of being thankful.

I think they did not get the bounty on pirate head. They are working under
government. They must salary and get promotion on the basis of their success
and the power they got like coby.

The pirate hunter get the bounty when the caught the pirate or kill the
pirate.

So if a sichibukai kills a pirate will he get the bounty.Sichibukai aren't
targeted by the marines so will they wait for the marines to come and collect
the bounty.

We haven't yet seen the details of a bounty being collected, but it seems
incredibly unlikely that the marines would pay a pirate the bounty for
defeating or capturing another pirate, as all pirates are by definition wanted
criminals who are to be arrested on recognition, as in the world of One Piece,
merely flying a black flag and declaring yourself a pirate is a crime. This
seems backed up by when Blackbeard captured Jewellery Bonney and tried to
exchange her with the world government, they responded by sending a warship
with an angry Akainu on board.

It also seems unlikely that they would give the bounties to marines who are
carrying out their duties, and would have different rewards in place, but it
is perfectly possible that marines can and do earn bounty rewards.

The main groups that seem eligible to receive bounties seem to be:

  * Bounty Hunters
  * Mercenaries
  * Armies and soldiers who report to a single nation instead of the world government
  * Assassins
  * Warlords

Obviously for the average concerned citizen in One Piece, capturing or
defeating someone with a large bounty is impossible, as bounties tend to be at
least somewhat correlated with strength. A notable exception is a young Nico
Robin, who had a large bounty long before she had any significant combat
strength, so was always on the run and fearing being turned in.

Anyone not considered a criminal who has the luck/power to capture or kill a
bounty holder while not working for the world government seems to be
guaranteed the bounty, so almost anyone except for marines, revolutionaries,
pirates and other criminals.
