I think the next round of bounties will be the last we get in the manga outside of flashbacks until it ends. With that in mind, I think the Monster Trio will substantial boosts based on their ability to threaten Imu's chosen 13:
Luffy - 5,000,000,000 Berries
Zoro - 2,333,000,000 Berries
Sanji - 2,250,000,000 Berries
The Strawhats will also be aligned with Elbaph after thwarting their plans.
Luffy - 5,000,000,000 Berries
Zoro - 2,333,000,000 Berries
Sanji - 2,250,000,000 Berries
The Strawhats will also be aligned with Elbaph after thwarting their plans.
I don’t think so for several reasons.
① Luffy’s narrative progression in relation to Shanks & Teach.
Shanks’, Luffy’s benchmark is at 4,048,900,000.
Luffy’s not quite at Shanks level yet hence his baby Yonko bounty of < 4bil and also the comparison to Shanks with Loki as the benchmark at the start of the arc but expect him to reach that level by the end of this arc. So Luffy hitting that 4bil range will be an indication imo that he is ready to challenge Shanks.
Teach is always one step ahead of Luffy so I expect him to hit the 5bil mark first. Reckon his bounty will go up around the same time Luffy’s does. There’s also the need to establish Teach as a threat beyond Luffy so both being in the 5bil range is unlikely imo.
② Zoro’s narrative progression in relation to Mihawk.
Mihawk has a bounty of 3,590,000,000 so there is no way on God’s green earth that the series ends with Zoro having a lower bounty much less one in the 2 bil range. Imo his last bounty will be higher than Mihawk’s
So just based of the above the next bounty being the SHs last is extremely unlikely imo.

It's a really funny, heartfelt series. Very silly and non-serious except towards the end of the manga where it gets much more serious and typical Shonen-like. Some of the best romance and slow burn I've ever seen. Although I've not seen a ton of romance stories either but a fair few maybe at most.
It inspired a lot of anime/manga after it too. Rumiko is an absolute legend who is still voluntarily working overnight tirelessly at her age atm (almost 70!).

Yeah they will work themselves to death, literally. They don't even fire people but force them to quit with "isolation rooms" and such.
In Japan, Oidashibeya (expulsion rooms) are designed as a form of "corporate purgatory" where the physical environment is used as a tool to break an employee's will.
The Physical Reality
In February 2025, data revealed that the workforce at Bandai Namco Studios dropped by over 100 people following reports that approximately 200 staff were moved into such "expulsion rooms" after major game cancellations. While the company denies these are "banishment rooms," claiming employees are simply "waiting for new projects," the high resignation rates suggest the psychological pressure remains effective.

The Physical Reality
- Windowless Isolation: Many of these rooms are intentionally windowless, cutting off the employee’s sense of time and connection to the outside world.
- De-personalized Spaces: Workers are often stripped of their professional identity; their business cards and titles are taken away, and they may be moved to a desk in a storage area or a basement.
- The "Window Sitters": Alternatively, some are made into Madogiwazoku ("the window tribe"), where they are forced to sit by a window with absolutely no tasks, which is just as socially isolating in a culture that prizes group activity.
- Shame as a Weapon: In a society that values collective contribution, being paid to do nothing is seen as a mark of deep shame (murahachibu).
- Mind-Numbing Tasks: If they aren't left in silence, they are given humiliating, menial work—like repetitive data entry or reading old manuals for 10 hours a day—purely to demoralize them.
- Monitoring and Reporting: Employees are sometimes required to write detailed daily reports about their "nothingness," which managers use as ammunition to justify cutting their severance or bonuses if they don't quit.

Yh, I also feel the boosts this time are going to be like that. Only difference is that I don’t expect Zoro & Sanji to hit the 2bil mark just yet.
Oda will most likely give Teach’s strongest subordinates the 2 bil bench mark to establish them as a threat beyond your average elite yonko commander so Zoro & Sanji will most likely fall under 2 bil for that reason.
1 bil was a significant milestone so expect 2bil to be as well.
Teach: 5,096,000,000
Shiryu: 2,444,000,000
Lafitte: 2,380,000,000
