** Much later on, after the [[spoiler:dissolution of the Seven Warlords system during the Levely]], Crocodile, Mihawk, and Buggy found an organization known as Cross Guild that pulls a RussianReversal by putting out bounties on ''Marines''.

*** There are sidequests that send you after one type of Overworld Boss (and only one if there are multiple of the same type) which are all titled "WANTED: [insert boss here]"

* ''FanFic/TheWeaverOption'':

---> ''That's my girl! ... Ah, baby's first WantedPoster.''

*** Chopper, who is a powerful fighter, is given a bounty of 50 berries after destroying a Marine base because they thought he was a pet. Later he gets a new poster and an increase to 100 berries. Meanwhile Buggy the Clown is very weak as a fighter but has a [[FakeUltimateHero massive bounty]] due to being credited for organizing a prison break and going toe-to-toe with Navy Enforcer Dracule Mihawk (he just happened to be completely immune to Mihawk's fighting style and spent the whole fight running away) as well as being a former member of the Pirate King's crew and an associate of one of the Four Emperors, the strongest pirates in the world.

* ''Film/TheFugiitive1972'' opens with a shot of two such posters depicting the two main characters, a pair of notorious bank robbers. Then cuts to the duo in the middle of a holdup, cue opening credits.

** However, a bounty's amount really represents how much the World Government considers them a threat, which can lead to some wild disparities

* Several episodes of ''Animation/{{Lamput}}'' feature the eponymous character on wanted posters. One episode has Lamput find a wanted poster of him and write "REWARD $$$" on the bottom of it, causing Fat Doc and Slim Doc to fight over who should get the money for turning him in.
* In ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf: Mighty Little Defenders'' episode 35, General Wolf has his wolf soldiers place wanted posters for several wolves he has deemed traitors everywhere.
