One Piece: Why Sanji Has A Lower Bounty Than Jinbe, Explained

gamerant.com:

After every major arc in One Piece, Oda goes over the newly assigned bounties, and, for the fans, this is certainly one of the most exciting things to look forward to. One Piece's Wano Country arc finally concluded after 4 years with chapter 1057 and with the Straw Hat Pirates out of the isolated country, it was time to see their new bounties.

One Piece: What Will Happen To The Shichibukai?

Having taken on two of the Four Emperors in Big Mom and Kaido and defeating the entirety of the Beast pirates, it goes without saying that the Straw Hat Pirates deserve high bounties. The likes of Zoro and Sanji, in particular, did the heavy lifting against Kaido's crew. However, for some reason, Sanji's bounty was revealed to be lower than Jinbe's. Sanji's bounty amounts to 1.032 billion berries, while Jinbe has a reward of 1.1 billion berries on his head. While this doesn't seem to make much sense on the surface level, there is a sound reason behind this.

Every member of the Straw Hat Pirates is known to be skilled and had already made a reputation for themselves in the One Piece world prior to the war of Wano. This holds true for even the weakest members of the crew, such as Usopp or Nami. As for the stronger ones, they were already renowned pirates. Zoro's status as the Pirate Hunter was already known all over the world. At the same time, Sanji was also one of the most feared members of the crew and his bounty of 330 million was certainly an indication of the level of threat that he carries.

Jinbe, however, had already made a tremendous name for himself when compared to the likes of Zoro and Sanji. While Sanji's bounty before Wano was 330 million berries, Jinbe's reward amounted to 438 million berries, which is significantly higher
