Zoro is one of the most powerful One Piece characters and quite easily one of the most infamous even in the Grand Line. Having started his journey as a bounty hunter who made a living hunting pirates, Zoro's start to the story was quite interesting.

One Piece: The New Bounties Of The Yonko After Elbaf, Explained
Yonko of One Piece will get bounty increases after Elbaf. Here's why.
Since Zoro joined the Straw Hat Pirates, he has been the second strongest member of the crew, and over the years has achieved great fame and strength. That said, Zoro's goal is still not fulfilled, and fans know that he must continue to grow stronger if he is to become the world's greatest swordsman. Zoro will continue to gain more infamy as well, meaning higher rewards will follow for the character Zoro, especially after the Elbaf Arc of One Piece.

Zoro's Bounty is 1.111 billion berries
Zoro is quite easily one of the most infamous characters in the One Piece the world right now. He has a very high bounty, and after the events of Wano, he successfully broke into the billionaire club. Zoro got his first reward in One Piece before the time jump, specifically after the Straw Hat Pirates entered the Grand Line and Luffy and crew ended up taking down Baroque Works in the land of Arabasta. His first Bounty was 60 million berries. This was a pretty impressive first reward for the character Zoro, and it just showed that he was finally being noticed. After the events of Enies Lobby, where the Straw Hat Pirates rescued Robin from the mouth of the World Government, Zoro's reward increased once again, especially due to his victory over Kaku, one of the members of CP9.

This pushed Zoro's bounty to 120 million berries, which was enough for him to be considered one of the 11 Supernovas of the Sabaody Archipelago. Two years later, when the Straw Hat Pirates returned many times stronger and continued their travels across the New World, Zoro's reward increased once more. After the events of Dressrosa, where the crew took down the Donquixote Pirates, Zoro's Bounty rose to 320 million berries, and he kept this bounty all the way to Wano.
In the land of Wano, Zoro fought many exciting battles, such as the one against the rooftop emperors, and later down the line, against King the Wildfire, Kaido's strongest right-hand man. Zoro was phenomenal to watch, and his achievements, which included scarring kaido and defeating King, saw his bounty rise to 1.111 billion berries.
What Zoro can accomplish in Elbaf
Zoro can strengthen his Haki even more
Currently, Zoro carries a bounty of over one billion berries. He has established himself as a very powerful Yonko commander, and a ferocious pirate who can kill the vast majority of his enemies outright. Zoro is a force to be reckoned with, and the vast majority of pirates all over the world realize that. When Zoro went to Egghead, fans expected him to get a huge raise. However, the Straw Hat Pirates were completely focused on escaping Egghead, instead of fighting an all-out battle with the government. As such, none of them received a massive bounty increase. But Elbaf is a completely different story. The Straw Hats will fight big battles here, and the government will definitely notice their achievements. It is because of this achievement that the Strawhat Pirates will receive new rewards after Elbaf, which means big things will follow for Zoro here.
I will never lose again. Got a problem with that, Pirate King? – Zoro
As for what Zoro can accomplish in the Elbaf arc, Oda has already set up quite a few interesting things. Firstly, Elbaf has his own Underworld, or in other words, hell, which means that this level of elbaf can be connected to him in one way or another. Another thing fans need to keep in mind is that the World Government has officially made its move on Elbaf.

One Piece: Why Elbaf Will Be Luffy's Biggest Test Yet
Luffy has a big fight coming up in Elbaf. It will be his biggest test yet in One Piece.
God's knights were recently seen in the land, and it is possible that at least war will break out in the peaceful land soon enough. When that happens, Zoro must be at the forefront and deal with all the threats the country faces. This will be an exciting chance for Zoro to test his mettle against some very powerful individuals, and of course, as always, go on to defeat them. If Zoro succeeds in defeating some high-ranking individuals, such as the members of the World Government, it is inevitable that his reward will be higher.
What will Zoro's Bounty be after Elbaf?
Zoro's Bounty can get close to 2 billion berries
If the Straw Hat Pirates fight against some very powerful individuals in the Elbaf arc, they will get new rewards, and Zoro, who is one of the main combatants, will also definitely get his new reward. In fact, if anything, Zoro's bounty doesn't really reflect his strength, meaning Oda just needs an excuse to increase his bounty further. Zoro should have a much higher bounty in One Piece right now. His current prize money of 1.111 billion berries, while very impressive, is not enough for any of his strength. In fact, Zoro defeated King, who has a reward of 1.390 billion berries, and taking everything into account, his own reward should be higher. Zoro's current reward should be somewhere between 1.5 to 1.8 billion berries, at least.
As such, after the events of Elbaf, Zoro will most likely receive a higher reward. As for how much his next Bounty should be, fans could be looking at a figure somewhere around 1.8 billion berries. Zoro isn't strong enough to reach 2 billion battery yet, but he should definitely go past 1.5 billion berries, at least. Zoro's reward being somewhat close to the likes of Crocodile and on the verge of 2 billion wearable marks would be absolutely perfect, as it would see him ready to face even greater threats, such as the Navy Admirals and, eventually, Dracule Mihawk .
As it stands, Zoro already deserves a higher reward of close to 2 billion berries, and fans should fully expect him to receive another reward after taking down powerful enemies in the land of Elbaf and helping Luffy take a step closer to to achieve One Piece.
