Lucky Roux’s Bounty at an unknown amount of Berries

Before Luffy, before the straw hat ever changed hands, one gunshot set the terms of the series: at Foosha Village a man from Higuma's gang levels a pistol at Shanks, and Lucky Roux, who somehow got within arm's reach unnoticed despite his build, drops him point-blank. It is the first on-page kill in the entire story, and it is not credited to the future Emperor. It belongs to one of his officers.

Everything after that runs on the same restraint. A senior officer and the ship's cook of the Red Hair Pirates, reclassified from combatant to cook by the Vivre Card, he pairs a flintlock pistol with Armament Haki and one move of his own, Self-Bowling: curling into a ball and letting a crewmate roll him into the enemy down the lane. Even so, he is eating in almost every appearance he makes, Marineford included, where he asks Shanks with his mouth full whether he does not want to see Luffy after ten years.

The same man, seven foot eleven of him, guarded in a chest the Gomu Gomu no Mi the crew had taken thirteen years earlier off a World Government ship, the fruit a seven-year-old would swallow behind his back. Off Wano, when Shanks flattens Admiral Ryokugyu with a single burst of Supreme King Haki, it is Roux who complains that he might warn people first, since the wave knocks out the crew's new recruits too. At Elbaph he readies the ship with everyone else when the Kid Pirates come looking for a fight.

No amount has ever been shown to readers for the man who kills before the plot properly begins. What the story does establish is an order of priorities: an appetite that never wavers, a trigger finger that never shakes, and a loyalty that has never needed a figure to prove itself.
