Overview

The @Berri is the world’s oldest and most stable currency, recognized across every sea — from the merchant cities of the West Blue to the farthest islands of the Grand Line. Its value has endured for centuries due to the shared trade accords of the World Treasury Guild, ensuring that every nation, Marine branch, and pirate port can conduct business under one unified standard. Printed at the @The Seven Grand Mints, each representing a sea.

Berri is simple, trusted, and symbolic — a mark of civilization in a world divided by chaos.

Paper Notes

@1,000 Berri Bill – “Usaguchi Hideo”

  • Features a rabbit-faced nobleman with a serene expression, representing honesty and diligence in trade.

  • Circulates among common citizens, sailors, and tavern owners.

  • Inked with pale gold filigree and bordered with seaweed-fiber lace.

@5,000 Berri Bill – “Kumaguchi Ichiro”

  • Depicts a smiling bear-faced merchant, a symbol of prosperity and fair commerce.

  • Commonly used by merchants and traveling traders for bulk purchases.

  • The watermark resembles a coiled sea serpent — visible when held to light.

@10,000 Berri Bill – “Gaikotsu Yukichi”

  • Portrays a top-hatted skeleton, the infamous “Father of Fortune,” who founded the first unified mint.

  • Considered the highest civilian denomination and a sign of wealth.

  • Used for ship purchases, dowries, and noble trades.

  • The bill is edged in black ink that reflects faintly under moonlight — a nod to the saying:

    “Even in death, money moves.”

@1 Berri Coin
A small copper piece, smooth and sea-worn, stamped with a simple “1” framed by twin anchors. Fishermen often carry handfuls of these, tossing them to dockhands or street performers as casual tips. It’s said that if you flick one into the sea before a voyage, the tides themselves will carry your luck forward.

@5 Berri Coin
Also copper, but etched with a stylized wave crest, each ripple curling outward like the spray of the Grand Line. Commonly used in taverns, it’s known as the “Sailor’s Coin.” Tavern owners often glue a 5 Berri to their doorposts for good fortune — and to ward off debt collectors.

@10 Berri Coin
Cast from brass, this coin bears the grinning skull of a legendary trader — or pirate, depending on who you ask — surrounded by tiny shell engravings. Superstitious sailors call it “the laughing coin,” believing it brings both luck and danger in equal measure. Pirates often flip it before battle to decide who strikes first.

@50 Berri Coin
The first of the silver series, circular but finely cut with eight tiny notches around the edge to prevent shaving. The center bears a radiant sunburst, a symbol of open trade and fair exchange. It’s the coin most often seen in the hands of traveling merchants, its shine a promise that honest work still has worth.

@100 Berri Coin
A larger silver coin, heavy and satisfying in the palm. One side shows the skull of Gaikotsu Yukichi, the founder of the global mint, while the other depicts a compass rose pointing toward every sea. Many guildmasters keep one in their pockets as a charm of prosperity — a reminder that all wealth begins with direction.

@500 Berri Coin
A prestigious piece of gold-plated silver, thicker and etched with twin sea dragons circling a faint outline of the world map. Its edges are ridged like the waves themselves, and it gleams brightly even in moonlight. Often used for offerings, dowries, or high-value trade, it’s whispered that a 500 Berri coin can buy loyalty faster than a sword ever could.



@Berri is the universal currency used across @Bluestar. They serve as the standard medium of exchange for goods, services, and trade, connecting the economies of the many islands and nations. The value of berries is consistent throughout the seas, making it a reliable currency for pirates, merchants, and governments alike.

The currency is issued and regulated by the World Government, ensuring its widespread acceptance and stability. Despite the World Government's control, berries are used universally, even in regions not officially allied with the government. This makes them a practical currency for both lawful and unlawful activities. Pirates, smugglers, and revolutionaries frequently conduct their dealings in berries, as do civilians and merchants.

The symbol of the berri is a simple "B" with two vertical lines running through it, similar to other recognizable currency symbols. Coins and paper bills are both used, with coins being more common for smaller denominations and bills for larger amounts. The design and denomination markings vary slightly depending on the issuing location, but they are universally recognized and accepted.

In terms of practical use, the value of berri is relatively straightforward, with everyday items such as food or basic supplies costing modest amounts. Larger sums are often associated with property, ships, or high-end weaponry, while astronomical amounts are tied to rare treasures or bounties on notorious individuals.

The economic flow of berries is integral to the world, with their value reflecting the disparity between different regions. In wealthier areas under the World Government's direct influence, berri flow more freely, supporting a vibrant economy. However, in poorer or lawless regions, the lack of resources and trade routes can make earning or spending berries significantly harder, further deepening global inequalities.

Berri are also central to the bounty system, where rewards for capturing or killing wanted individuals are offered in increasingly high sums. This bounty system emphasizes the currency's universal value, as even pirates and bounty hunters rely on berries to trade for resources, equipment, or indulgences.

While the exact origins of the currency are unknown, its pervasive use highlights its importance in maintaining the global economy, from small island markets to the grand halls of Mariejois. Berri is not just a currency but a symbol of the interconnectedness of the world, binding its diverse cultures and economies through a shared standard of value.
