Roronoa Zoro’s Bounty at 120,000,000 Berries

Eleven names came off Sabaody Archipelago carrying the Supernova label: eleven rookies who had crossed a hundred million before entering the New World. Between them they came from nine crews — nine captains, and two men who commanded nothing at all. Zoro and Killer were the exceptions, two first mates filed among leaders because the numbers left the Marines no choice.

The 120 million came out of Enies Lobby, where Zoro dismantled Kaku, one of CP9's two best agents, in a duel nobody was calling in advance. His figure doubled. His captain's tripled. The ratio the World Government would apply to this crew for years is set right here: the captain takes the headline price, everyone else is filed as supporting cast.

It's also the bounty Zoro was carrying at Thriller Bark a few weeks later, when he volunteered to absorb every injury Luffy had taken from Bartholomew Kuma. The only witness was the man administering it. Sanji, knocked out by Zoro to stop him offering himself instead, found him standing in a pool of blood once it was over, and was told that nothing had happened. The episode appears in no report anywhere. The World Government revised nothing.

That is what the register looks like from below. Zoro spent two years labelled a Supernova for beating a government agent, and received precisely nothing for the night he nearly died in someone else's place.

The two years that followed did the paperwork no favours either. He spent them on Kuraigana, training under the world's greatest swordsman, who agreed to teach him after humiliating him in public. A Supernova apprenticed to a Warlord: the register has no column for that.
