This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.
Quick Links
Sanji is one of the main fighters of the Straw Hat Pirates, and fans know that he’s one of Luffy’s two wings, known to be primarily responsible for supporting Luffy on his path to becoming the Pirate King. Sanji is incredibly powerful, and as a pirate, strength always attracts infamy.
Although he didn’t get a bounty as soon as he should’ve, Sanji still has a very high reward on his head, and after the events of the Elbaf arc, this reward is only going to get higher. In fact, Sanji will be considered among the pirates with the highest bounty once the series ends, and Elbaf is going to be absolutely massive for him. Oda has already ensured that Sanji’s bounty after thisOne Piecearc is going to be humongous.
Sanji Is Worth 1.032 Billion Berries Right Now
Sanji is always among the individuals with the highest bountyin the Straw Hat Pirates. Before Wano, he had the second-highest bounty in the crew, second only to Luffy. Right now, his bounty is the fourth highest in the crew, after Luffy, Zoro, and Jinbe’s. But, Sanji certainly deserves a higher reward.

In the Wano arc ofOne Piece, Sanji managed to defeat Queen with rather ease, and this earned him a bounty of 1.032 billion berries. This reward already puts him among the strongest and most wanted people in the world. In Egghead, Sanji showed great performance, but none of the crew gained any bounty increases. As such, Sanji, despite his incredible contribution, didn’t get any reward. But, Elbaf is going to be different. With Sanji’s power growing, he is inevitably going to get a higher bounty.

Oda Has Heavily Teased Conqueror’s Haki For Sanji
If there’s one Power-Up that fans can be sure thatSanji will get in or after Elbaf, it is Conqueror’s Haki. This type of Haki is the rarest in the world, but Sanji most certainly has it. Gaban, Roger’s left arm, had Conqueror’s Haki, so Sanji absolutely needs this Haki too. Sanji also recently stated that he felt that he had it in him, which is yet another indicator of him having it.

Most of all,Sanji is going to fight against the Holy Knights, who can only be damaged by Conqueror’s Haki. Without it, Sanji can’t fight and win against them. As such, this power-up for him is imminent.
Sanji’s Next Bounty Should Be Around 2 Billion Berries
Once Elbaf ends,Sanji will have gained tremendous powerand most likely also beaten the Holt Knights, or possibly even stronger enemies. When that happens, the World Governors can’t help but give Sanji a higher bounty. After everything, Sanji’s bounty post-Elbaf is going to be very high, likely in the region of 2 billion berries, at the very least.
