The Shichibukai system was created by the World Government to cancel out the power that the Yonko had over the world of One Piece. The Shichibukai consisted of seven members, but some members were kicked out, and others were anointed. The Shichibukai were given certain privileges, which allowed them to delve into various illegal activities without being punished.
The biggest perk of being a Shichibukai was getting their bounty frozen, which allowed them to roam without any problems. But, after the recent Levely, the system was abolished, and the Shichibukai once again became hunted, and their bounties were increased. Each pirate got a bounty depending on their notoriety, and in this list, we have ranked the Shichibukai from One Piece on the basis of their bounties.
The entries in this list are based on their last known bounties in the series.
11 Boa Hancock
Boa Hancock is the captain of the Kuja Pirates, and she is known as the "Pirate Empress." Boa's first voyage landed her a bounty of 80,000,000 berries, and the World Government wasted no time in offering her an invitation to the Shichibukai.
Boa Hancock is an extremely powerful character who is capable of using all three types of Haki. She still has a role to play in the series, and her new bounty will be somewhere close to 1,800,000,000 berries.
10 Bartholomew Kuma
Bartholomew Kuma's life has gone downhill ever since he agreed to sign up to become a test subject for Dr. Vegapunk. Luckily, before being completely rendered useless, Kuma was saved by the Revolutionary Army.
When Kuma was appointed as a member of the Shichibukai, he had a bounty of 296,000,000 berries. There is a possibility that it might increase in the future, but that depends on whether he manages to regain consciousness.
9 Gecko Moria
Once a rival to the great pirate Kaido, Gecko Moria suffered from a massive drop. In his fight against Kaido, Moria's entire crew was annihilated, which made him reconsider recruiting normal humans. So, he decided to make zombies and use them instead.
Moria was last seen on Fullalead Island with Blackbeard. His last known bounty is 320,000,000 berries; however, if he joins the Blackbeard Pirates, then it could go as high as 900,000,000 berries.
8 Donquixote Doflamingo
Donquixote Doflamingo is the former King of Dressrosa. He is the only pirate who gained the status of a Shichibukai by blackmailing the World Government.
Under the guise of good intentions, Doflamingo overtook the country of Dressrosa by turning the people against King Riku. Doflamingo's last known bounty is 340,000,000 berries, and currently, he's imprisoned inside Impel Down.
7 Weevil
Edward Weevil is the self-proclaimed son of Whitebeard, one of the greatest pirates of all time. Weevil's physical strength has been compared to that of young Whitebeard, which is extremely impressive.
Weevil has been actively hunting members of the Whitebeard Pirates, but with the Shichibukai system no longer functioning, he has already been confronted by the Marines several times. Weevil's last known bounty was 480,000,000 berries, and the newer one could possibly be around 1,500,000,000 berries.
6 Jimbei
Jimbei is the latest character to join the Straw Hat Pirates. Oda teased Jimbei joining the crew all the way back in the Fish-Man Island arc. Jimbei joined the Shichibukai to protect Fish-Man Island from any possible harm.
He had a bounty of 250,000,000 when he was appointed a member of the Shichibukai. Before the Summit War, Jimbei resigned from his position, which resulted in his bounty going up to 438,000,000 berries. After the conclusion of the Wano Country arc, Jimbei received a bounty of 1,100,000,000 berries.
5 Crocodile
Crocodile served as the main antagonist of the Alabasta arc. He managed to fool Nefertari Cobra into trusting him while he orchestrated the downfall of the kingdom behind the scenes. Crocodile was eventually defeated by Luffy and locked up in Impel Down.
In the Impel Down arc, it was Luffy, who freed Crocodile, and the latter repaid the favor by saving Ace's life. Once the Summit War was over, Crocodile headed to the New World, but his new bounty was never revealed. His old bounty was 81,000,000 berries, and his newer bounty is 1,965,000,000 berries.
4 Blackbeard
Currently, Blackbeard serves as one of the Yonko, but before he cemented his place among the elite, he was just a crew member on Whitebeard's ship. However, it did not take Blackbeard long to join the Shichibukai, as he offered Portgas D. Ace to the Marines.
Blackbeard used his position to invade Impel Down with the rest of his crew and freed some of the most dangerous pirates in the prison. Blackbeard did not have a bounty when he became a Shichibukai, and presently, he has a bounty of 2,247,600,000 berries.
3 Trafalgar Law

Trafalgar Law is a member of the Worst Generation, and he has been in the spotlight for a long time, but that might change, considering the alliance between Luffy and him is over.
Law became a Shichibukai sometime during the time-skip, and he gained a bounty of 500,000,000 berries. He played a crucial role in the Wano Country arc as he teamed up with Eustass Kid to take down Big Mom, which led to his bounty increasing to 3,000,000,000 berries.
2 Buggy

Buggy received the proposal to join the Shichibukai after the Summit War concluded. In the war, Buggy had managed to gain a lot of notoriety, because of which the Marines decided it would be better to have him on their side.
Buggy didn't hesitate to use his influence to start his company that supplied mercenaries to other nations. At the time of the system's abolishment, Buggy's bounty was 15,000,000 berries, but after being named a Yonko, his bounty shot up to 3,156,000,000 berries.
1 Dracule Mihawk
Dracule Mihawk is known as the Strongest Swordsman in the World. Due to his immense strength, Mihawk's name often pops up during debates about the most powerful characters in the series. Mihawk has earned the respect of his opponents due to his swordsmanship, and almost every character is aware of the threat that he possesses.
For a long time, Mihawk's bounty remained unknown, and it was only revealed towards the end of the Wano Country arc. After the formation of the Cross Guild, Mihawk was given a bounty of 359,000,000,000 berries, making him the Shichibukai with the highest known bounty.
