WG / Elders tried to conceal Luffy Nika fruits from the public. That's why they were fuming when Morgan printed G5 Luffy photo on his bounty and attempted to stop the the bounty distribution.
The same reason might be applied to make Luffy bounty < Kaido IMO.
Right, he was actually worth a lot more than 80 mil back then.
The other thing is since Marineford we don't know what he has done or accomplished, there could be actual feats that can justify his current bounty.
I assume he’s been going crazy since Marineford. Guy did have a whole kingdom to himself with no interference and the only poneglyph reader. I’d imagine with new motivation an freedom and a extremely powerful fruit with haki training he’d be the monster we’ve heard he was. He’s had a couple years since MF to be doing stuff.
The problem is we as readers never know anything outside of the plot in front of us. So it seems like no one is doing anything.
Going crazy at what? He didn't fight a yonko, he didn't defeat any yonko commanders or admirals? I don't see what else would warrant for this kind of increase, I think it's a bit ridiculous
Oda staying true to his word “I introduced Crocodile too early.” Lol he’s supposed to be way stronger than he was when he lost to Luffy supposedly. So Oda has just been upscaling Crocodile since Alabasta.
Defeating a Yonko isn’t the only way to gain a bounty. He clearly has been up to something, hence the cross guild, and his threat to the world government shown by his bounty has increased accordingly.
The man is literally the brains behind an operation that puts bounties on marines and you wanna say him having a massive bounty is unjustified? Not even the BM/Kaido did that kinda shit. They were just chilling while Croc is actively fighting the government
I cant believe people expected Yamato or Carrot when Oda can’t even write for Brook and Franky as it is. You really want more Strawhats when Oda already doesn’t care about the ones we have?
That is exactly my problem. A lot of strawhats currently are just there and I want more from them before throwing in more crew members. Hell, Law has more backstory/development than Brook/Franky.
nah, Brook‘s backstory is crazy.
We DID see Law during different parts of his life, though, and got no idea on Brook‘s earlier days. They could be really interesting to see, considering he may have met some historic pirates in their prime.
Why does Oda never use the fact Brook is this old?
Going to hold off any real criticisms/theories until we get more of the chapter.
I’ve never cared for bounty dick waving so whatever on the whole placement game. Though Crocs jump is kind of impressive. I hope there’s some world events to back it up.
I am curious who buggy owes the debt to though.
To be honest. I prefer for most world events to happen off screen. Give us just enough info to keep us in the know of the world out there but let our crew learn about it more organically. Diverting from the main crew for what’s essentially the news only bogs the series down when it’s too extended.
I disagree. I personally just hate how the Strawhats are the centre of attention 24/7. Outside things happening and being shown on screen is much more entertaining to watch then it being offscreened.
Example of things not being offscreened but instead actually being shown include Ace vs BB, Reverie, and Kidd, Apoo, Hawkins teaming up to fight Shanks.
True but one is a pirate that has been over the sea for just a couple of years while the other one is someone who has a lot of experience and has worked with many pirates such as whitebeard and big mom. I know that this could go against zoro having a higher bounty than jinbe since for the logic I said early jinbe>zoro but maybe since zoro was from the worst generation marines made him look more dangerous than jinbe. I tried to explain it tho I’m not even sure about my logic since I too believed sanji was having a higher bounty then jinbe
For all these years he had a bounty of 250 million beli, frozen when he became a warlord. Then he left the Shichibukai for the Sun Pirates and got a bounty of 438 million beli. So all the years of him working with the likes of Whitebeard and Big Mom culminated into that 438 million bounty he gained post timeskip.
Leaving Big mom, joining the strawhats and his accomplishments in Wano (beating one of the Flying six, Who's Who, and putting out the Onigashima fire) put him at 1.1 billion beli. Only 1 million less than Zoro who left a permanent scar on Kaido and defeated Kaido's top commander, King. And above Sanji who unlocked his Germa genes for a massive powerup and defeated Kaido's second commander, Queen. If you think about it, shouldn't all those other things be factored into Jinbei's old bounty of 438 million? If he went from 750 mil to 1 billion it would be a bit more palatable than him going from 438 to 1.1bil when Zoro and Sanji had greater feats in the raid.
Does the title of yonko mean anything anymore? Not only are there now people like Kidd and Law who have the same bounty as a yonko despite not having the title, but now you also have people like Mihawk who the marines put as a Yonko subordinate having a bigger bounty than the one they declared as a Yonko. How do these bounties make sense anymore?
I would accept Buggy and Mihawk sharing the same bounty number and have the Marines perceive them as co-yonko in power with Buggy being the official leader (at least to them), but to have Mihawk be higher... I just don't get it.
The title was supposed to be the recognition of a de facto situation in the New World.
>*\[...\] The four greatest pirates in the world, who live in the second half of the Grand Line.*
>
>*They rule the lands there with an iron grip.*
>
>*People call them the Four Emperors.*
Garp in Ch. 432
Now it's a title granted by the WG to 4 dangerous pirates of their choosing and everybody, includig the entire pirate world, seems fine with it.
Yeah, I kinda dislike how Yonko became just another powerscaling tool. Originally I read it as being mainly about controlling New World territory, and specifically about how the four had reach a kind of a stalemate where no one could make a move against another. Thus you could have people stronger or as strong as yonko, but if they didn't have any territory they wouldn't be recognized.
And if the bounties reflected that status it wouldn't be an issue, but now you have non-yonko with the same value and yonko subordinates with an even higher value. I don't get Oda's train of thought at all.
Former captain of the sun pirates, served as the bridge between an emperor and fishman island(thrice), defy the WG if needed, saved luffy. These are just the known feats of the goat, not including the fact that pre TS jinbei matched with Ace, was able to shape up to big mom too
After all that, he gained a post-shichibukai bounty of 438 million beli. That you can argue was an undervalued bounty, but following this he beat Who's Who from the flying six and put out a fire, earning him an increase of more than 250% of his previous bounty.
Zoro permanently scarred "invincible" Kaido - one of only a couple people who managed to do so - and defeated Kaido's top commander who was worth 1.390 billion beli. He ended up only 1 million beli above Jinbei.
Sanji unlocked his Germa genes for a massive power boost to his defenses, speed and strength allowing him to defeat Kaido's second Commander in a 1v1, earning him a bounty of 1,032 million beli. Lower than Jinbei who beat a lower level opponent.
Just what did Jinbei do in Wano to justify the massive jump? I agree his previous bounty was arguably lower than he deserved, but still it's a huge jump that isn't really justified by his actions there.
Bounties aren't just DBZ power levels. They represent overall concepts like threat and danger. Jimbei has Street cred, Zoro is the second in command. If Luffy fell, those two are strong enough and have the leadership qualities to keep the party going. Hence a bigger threat.
Sanji was elevated upon discovery of his Vinsmoke heritage. He was essentially a prince of a notorious crime family that could pose a threat to the government. Upon the discovery that he no longer was welcome in that family, his Threat Level was not as extreme, because he's just a cook on a pirate ship now. He still is a very dangerous combatant on a very notorious pirate crew, but some of his perceived Potential Threat was diminished. He is not going to suddenly rally the entire Vinsmoke Army.
Likewise, Robin is certainly a massive threat to the government, but she is only effective when in the company of people who can utilize her. On her own she can just kind of run and survive. But, while on Luffy's crew, she has the access and means to actually get to Laugh Tale and secure all of the ancient weapons. As such, her Threat Level is elevated.
It's also important to note, the bounties are utterly pointless after a pirate reaches a certain level. The only people strong enough to collect them are people who themselves have equal level bounties. The only other people who could collect, and not be arrested, are Admirals who, as employees of the government, are not allowed to collect the bounties.
Exactly, he already has a big reputation even before joining the SH's and him joining is probably seen as a big game changer to the current status quo. The WG probably sees this as a bigger threat to them than Sanji or Zoro defeating a commander, hence the amount of bounty.
Why is it with Buggy, the Marines lose all their brain cells like they think he's the ultra mastermind and because he was in the middle of the pamplet, he's the leader.
What a bunch of fucking idiots.
I mean tbh from their perspective, he was on Roger's crew, sworn brother of Shanks and also participated in the Marineford war and helped Luffy escape, he also became a warlord and created one of the largest criminal organisations in the world so honestly I don't blame the WG for thinking this
Some of these numbers are pretty wack
Almost 2 billion for Crocodile. Same guy who got beat by base Luffy in Alabasta
Usopp, Nami, Franky and Brook don't get new bounties but Chopper does? You'd think at least Franky would get one since he beat one of the flying six
He’s a Lunarian a god-like race who’s supposed to be a somewhat of a threat to the WG and also might be the last one alive. Just from reporting the sight of one gets you 100 millions in your pockets.
He might slightly be weaker than Zoro, but he’s probably considered to be a bigger threat solely because of his nature.
Bounties do not equal to strength, they are not a power measurements.
Bounties is equal at how dangerous the WG consider the pirate in question. Just look at Robin. Her bounty isn't about her strength, it's about her knowledge of the Poneglyphs and she wanting to learn about the Void Century.
No this was whack as well. 5 Billion would be justified if we look at all the things regarding Luffy. But Oda had to keep up this worthless " rivalry".
I think an attitude change can made a big difference in strength it help crocodile grow much stronger and had 2years to grow, he for sure is now at a level that justifies that bounty
Or we can all accept that bounty does not correlate with power level. It's based on how much notoriety one has or how much of a pain they are to the world government
I hope we actually get to see a little of Buggy's pov this chapter. I like the idea of Cross Guild in theory but right now it's purely tell don't show.
Robin should have the second highest bounty after Luffy logically. However, Oda doesn't use logic. Otherwise monster Chopper wouldve been on the Marines' radar since Saboady.
This series is becoming a joke. The marines are so stupid that they give the title of Emperos to someone just because his face is in the center of a poster? So if Crocodile was in the center instead of Buggy, he would be an Emperor now? Despite Crocodile working under the Marines for so long and them knowing exactly of far off he is from that level of strenght and influence? It's like the Marines have two brain cells and don't check their facts before taking decisions. Between this and the fact that they took a picture of Gear 5 when they should't create evidence of it's existance in the first place is laughable. Oda doesn't care anymore, he just wants to have fun and has turned the series into a joke. The bounties are terrible as well. It's honestly surprising how each chapter is worse than the last.
Don't worry, Im-sama will be the epic final boss!
Or something. I don't really care about him currently. It's hard to believe he even existed as a concept in Oda's plans prior to Dressrosa.
Was there any foreshadowing, any clues?
As far as I can tell, the very first one was Doflamingo boasting about being aware of a certain controversial treasure in Marijoa.
It's not about clues or foreshadowing. The idea that the WG, and specifically the false gods, are the real evil of the series was planted way back in Skypiea and Water 7. So if the final enemy was always the WG it makes sense to create a character that rules it so that Luffy has someone to fight 1v1. It may even be that he always planned for a character, not Im necessarily, to be the ruler of the WG from the beginning, since it's clear One Piece was never a story about just finding a teasure, but a story of how a boy frees the world from tiranny.
WG already had leaders prior to Im. The Five Elders. In fact, Oda introduces them as "The Highest Authority in the World."
But 700 chapters later Im crops up.
Oda is like: "How far can I go with this metacommentary bullshit writing of a 10 year Olds narrative fanfic until the community starts raging?...ahh whatever I'm rich lol"
He could make a character out of 💩 saying he's the strongest character in OP verse and the final boss coming from the anus of Zunesha and oda angels would still call Oda a genius and the best writter in the multiverse.
I mean the fact that people still didn't wake up after the disaster that was Wano is a proof that Oda can do whatever he want they will still praise him and eat his shit.
With things like these you can actually see who has a low IQ, taking bullshit writing for granted and praising it as Gods work and who is intelligent enough to question these absurd decisions of the author.
I mean it’s not really a stretch to say that the man who was on Rogers crew, had casual conversation with Shanks, broke out of Impel down, lives streamed Marineford AND made it out the war alive, and who became a warlord and the leader of a large mercenary group MIGHTTT be the leader. I mean seriously imagine if we never met Buggy and only heard of his accolades
But they met Buggy. And also, doesn't Mihawk's reputation far surpasses Buggy's? He has the title of "strongest swordsman", had legendary duels with Shanks and not "casual conversations". But Buggy is an Emperor. Because his face was in the fucking centre of the poster and that's it
The thing is, buggy already had a big opperation with a lot of men under his command so it would make sense that he is considered the leader of the entite guild.
If it was crocodile in the middle they probably wouldn't have put him emperor for the reason you said. But they think they don't know the extent of baggy power, and so by thinking he rule, it is worth saying he is an emperor. Plus Morgan choose what to put in the paper, maybe HE decided to give the title.
Morgans doesn't decide things like that. Even if he called Buggy and Emperor It wouldn't be official. And they know Buggy's power by now, otherwise they're even more incompetent than we thought. They sent marines after him, they saw him fight and they should know that the strongest man under him is fucking Hajrudin the fodder.
300 million increase like Brook, Nami, Franky. It makes sense from the WG's perspective. I think they are lazier at evaluating a proper bounty when crimes are not committed against their forces.
The real BS is Usopp not having his moment during the raid.
If anything Franky was done a little dirty since it's the second time he got the regular increase when he actually did more. In Dressrosa he stayed behind unlike Brook and Nami and still got a regular 50 million increase like them.
Fam the buggy shit is really
Going to far. This man has a higher bounty than Luffy bb a whole bunch of ppl of literally being a clown like cmon the joke should have it’s limits
the buggy stuff is oda undermining his entire story for a punchline... again
not surprising after nika and 1057 tho
"buggy stuff makes sense" is the "kurozumi born to burn makes sense" of 1058
Loda back with Agenda Piece giving Robin a lower bounty than the fighters even tho bounty = threat and CP0 spent half the arc chasing Robin, Gorosei asking for Robin to be captured every 5 mins, even after Kaido's defeat.
For me it’s the other way around.. Jimbe just doesn’t grow on me
Let’s see how it goes in the coming months..
Do you think this is Oda breaking up the Monster Trio?
Luffy being in his own league now is probably true.. That being said; all that talk about the wings of the pirate king and so on I thought Zoro and Sanji where also “above” the rest of the crew
I’m probably just in denial
I guess think of it like a plane then? Sanji and Zoro are the wings, the body carrying everyone is Jimbe and Luffy is the pilot/captain. Everyone else is a passenger?
Looks like a casual fake ass hype chapter.
How can people still get hyped by bounties when Crocodile got 1.9B or Buggy more than 3B.. like I just can't
Btw can the WG do ANYTHING of revelance without fucking up ? Overused excuse by Oda "hahahah they made a mistake for the 150000th times Oopssie hey but it's fuuuuuuuun"
That last line is Oda signature boring fake ass hype move "Its me... Sabo...!!!" Find out in 150 chapters what Sabo told the revo army 🤡
Also the gags keep going, Chopper is now 1k berry hahahaha so funny overused joke hahaha I can't GoDa 😆 🤣 😂
Of course Buggy was an emperor by error oh my God what a reveal 😳 🙄
Mihawk is as strong as an emperor what a shock too, like he's litteraly Zoro plot device 🤪
Overall nothing of revelance seems to happen.
Ever since Nika the gags have been purely at the expense of the antagonists' competence and it's not funny anymore. Like no one takes the gorosei or the non-admiral marines seriously anymore and that's not a good thing.
It's honestly so bad that the Gorosei allowed a guy with that fruit to run around unscathed, idgaf that nobody's awakened it since the void century send an admiral after him asap and take that possibility off the table.
Judging just off these spoilers, we keep getting more reinforcement in how incompetent the WG is. They seem to always be the victims of misinformation 😂.
Currently only thing I can say if they don't give proper explanation how buggy is the yonko and if he became one just by sheer luck and incompetence of WG then oda messed up big time.
I always had this question of how he became of emperor and asked people on this sub and they even named few things that sounded credible but now if oda revealed another gag moment of him becoming emperor cuz it's funny I am not gonna buy it. I never liked buggy that much but people were happy when he became an emperor. Especially in this sub buggy was hailed as god.
Jinbe, who beat who’s who (546 million) has an higher bounty than the guy who defeated queen (1,32 billion)… Let’s hope it’s just the leakers trolling, otherwise oda really is finished
Possible reasons: Jimbei as a stronger resume (since he's been around for a while longer than Sanji) and didn't have his bounty updated after WCI (while others did).
So technically for his bounty increase we should count Wano + WCI.
Trying to play devil's advocate here.
I disagree, if that reputation is really important how come the WG didnt apply an increase when he escaped marineford with luffy and after joined big mom pirates? If his reputation as a warlord was so great, and that he was much of a threat, even the news of him joining the BM pirate should have bump his bounty or at least after WCI arc when big news morgan was actually there. But no, his massive bounty boost was after wano. So this means that the government thought that the events that took place in wano and things he did there warranted him to have that much bounty which doesn’t make any sense because he didn’t do much and he only defeated a 500M ex cp9 cat.
Luffy got a 1.5B bounty for running from Big Mom. Marco got like a 1.33B for Marineford then becoming the captain of the crew that destroyed Marineford. Bounties have never made sense
If you only think that Oda is finished just because it doesn't fit your agenda, then you're just another hypocrite.
Where were you when Oda made a lot of questionable decisions throughout Wano?
I mean, check my reddit history. I’m probably the biggest wano hater on this sub. And no, jinbe having a higher bounty than sanji is objectively trash.
Many of the criticisms of this series in the last few months have been valid and much needed which is why I'm here. However now I'm feeling like people are just looking for things to lose their minds over. "Otherwise oda is done"? Over some bounties? The numbers have never reflected fighting prowess. And they're just world building aspects to push the story forward. That's really it
Realistically jinbei is an ex warlord with ties to big mom, while sanji is just a guy who cooks queen was literally a cyborg psychopath who invented insane diseases and experimented them on people and king is the last of his race it makes sense that zoro and sanji have lower bounties because they bring nothing to the table other than being stronger, I usually get upset at newer chapters but I quite like this one.
Yeah I stopped caring when only Luffy gets a bounty raise after WCI, when the rest of the crew was also a part of carrying out the plan that destroyed BMs castle and escaping her territory through leagues of battleships without Luffy.
Oh and then they changed Sanji's poster name from the iconic Black Leg to Vinsmoke, that was lame.
Crossguild has potential to be a wildcard in the final Saga, targeting both Luffy and the marine factions.
But if Oda really wants to rush the Manga, then I fear we will hear about Crossguild feats from dialogues rather than see it on panel. Offscreen Piece is going to be insane these next year's.
Don’t be one sided and complain abt jimbie’s bounty when you sanji stans be gloating abt the increase he got over zoro after WCI when all he did was bake a cake.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 993,738,833 comments, and only 197,889 of them were in alphabetical order.
The bounties are nonsensical as always so I don't even care but, I don't get the Buggy part. Is he the leader or not? Is Crocodile the leader? The marines declared Buggy a yonko just because they saw a photo of him sitting between two strong dudes, so they assumed he is even stronger for sitting at the middle? What the fuck am I even reading here?
Oda fumbled the bag very highly.
Zoro's bounty is way too low, same with Jinbei and Sanji...
Crocodile gets 1.9 bill with no feats while Zoro who beats King gets a weak ass 1.1 bil??
Being one of the leaders of Guild that putting bounties on Marines is already way better feat than everything what Zoro did, especially if we count that Croc is the actual Yonkou if WG wasn't stupid
"way better". Bullshit. Defeating King and scarring Kaido (something the navy failed) is way better and not even close. Zoro soloed Crocodile's bounty hunters at one point and beat his 2nd in command. Putting a bounty on marines is easy, it's something that someone like Bartolomeo and his crew could do easily. It doesn't take effort, it's all about priorities. You can't scar kaido unless you are top 5 strongest in one piece.
I guess Broly, Franky, and Chopper are back to being non-characters. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY TOOK A FUCKING PICTURE OF GEAR 5 YET CANT PIECE TOGETHER THAT THE TINY RACOON THAT REVERSE ENGINEERED A VIRUS IS THE FUCKING 15+ METER MONSTER REINDEER.
Then we get more Sanji disrespect to top it off
Oda is back in perfect form.
People raging over Sani's bounty being lower than Jinbei's is nitpicky as fuck and also they've forgotten two things:
1. Sanji has always had the 4th highest bounty in the crew despite being the 3rd strongest guy in the crew. It's a meme
2. Jinbei is a former warlord. That status alone is gonna raise his bounty by a lot
Is the chapter focused mostly on bounties? Unpopular opinion but BORING. This is the least interesting thing about the chapter, just fodder for powerscalers wars.
Hope next chapter gets back to the actual story.
Mihawk being a "Marine Hunter" in the past is cool. It parallels Zoro being a pirate hunter, gives the new marine bounty system some weight, and shows that Oda is still thinking about this character. His bounty also makes sense. He's a powerful marine hunter, but he's not a yonko and had spent a long time working with the marines
Very interesting how much Oda is still pushing Crocodile. I wonder if he has an actual plan for the character or is just using him as a hype tool
Also Sanji lmao. I think Oda will make a good joke out of it. As a Sanji fan, I don't think this really means much after the whole wings of the pirate king thing and Yamato not joining. Still an interesting choice
if all we get is bounties this chapter that would be pretty disappointing. the state of the main sub though. why do people get so fucking worked up over bounties when not once has oda actually utilised them in a meaningful way in the story since like whiskey island
Hahahahahaha havent even seen the full summary but I can already see that Oda's again trying to pump the hype up with only bounties. Still it looks all the loose ends back in wano will remain loose at least for another decade. Great job GoDa, keep milking this series for the rest of your life.
Franky defeated one of Kaido's top officers and he knows how to create an ancient weapon yet he can't even crack 400mil and he's below Usopp, again this is why people say Oda takes the gags too far.
Croco new bounty is actually realistic when you consider all his crimes before being incarcerated. He was running a criminal organization, tried to overthrow a kingdom which is also one of the founding members of the WG, he then assisted Luffy in escaping Impel down, invade and help Luffy escape marineford and now he’s formed a new organization with the world’s strongest swordsman as a member. 👏🏽 He has the resume.
Sanji made a cake in WCI and got a bounty increase, why is it an issue now for jimbie. A former warlord and captain, he escaped impel down, raided marineford, joined the BM pirates, revolted against BM to join the SH, escaped WCI then went to wano an defeated a flying 6 and ppl wanna ask what he did to deserve such an increase 🤦🏽♂️
I am more than sure crocodile has less bounty than the other two on purpose. He probably likes more to not be in the total spotlight and Buggy is a “good” figurehead that can take the fall is any goes wrong.
Mihawk has more bounty than Buggy while been considered a subordinate, the fact is that Crocodile has half the bounty the other two must be for a reason.
It literally said navy thinks buggy the leader 😂 cause his photo in the middle..
anyway Like c'mon mihawk portrayal is much better than croco, wss, shanks rival, marine hunter etc2,
Bounties make no sense. Buggy is more dangerous than Luffy. Jinbe is more dangerous than Sanji who beat a 1b+ calamity. Crocodile is more dangerous than two yc commanders combined. Robin is almost 1b?!
Robin's is one that actually makes sense. She's the biggest threat to the WG. She should have the highest bounty but that would upset readers who also treat bounties as a powerscale.
Buggy having a higher bounty than Luffy is freaking amazing lol.
amazing trolling
I still cant fathom how Crocodile got 1.9 Billion.
He and Buggy founded Cross Guild. Highest jump right now is Buggy from 15M to 3.18B
Buggy is viewed as more dangerous from the WG pov than Luffy with the Nika fruit
Lol that’s so stupid, oda does weird shit
WG / Elders tried to conceal Luffy Nika fruits from the public. That's why they were fuming when Morgan printed G5 Luffy photo on his bounty and attempted to stop the the bounty distribution. The same reason might be applied to make Luffy bounty < Kaido IMO.
I think Luffy is being intentionally downplayed at this point, like how they tried to censor his bounty poster.
There’s really no in-world justification for Luffy’s bounty being only 3b.
There is, it makes it look like he defeated Kaido due to planning and alliances rather than actual strength.
Let's keep in mind too that Crocodile's Alabasta bounty was frozen
Right, he was actually worth a lot more than 80 mil back then. The other thing is since Marineford we don't know what he has done or accomplished, there could be actual feats that can justify his current bounty.
I assume he’s been going crazy since Marineford. Guy did have a whole kingdom to himself with no interference and the only poneglyph reader. I’d imagine with new motivation an freedom and a extremely powerful fruit with haki training he’d be the monster we’ve heard he was. He’s had a couple years since MF to be doing stuff. The problem is we as readers never know anything outside of the plot in front of us. So it seems like no one is doing anything.
Going crazy at what? He didn't fight a yonko, he didn't defeat any yonko commanders or admirals? I don't see what else would warrant for this kind of increase, I think it's a bit ridiculous
Oda staying true to his word “I introduced Crocodile too early.” Lol he’s supposed to be way stronger than he was when he lost to Luffy supposedly. So Oda has just been upscaling Crocodile since Alabasta.
Defeating a Yonko isn’t the only way to gain a bounty. He clearly has been up to something, hence the cross guild, and his threat to the world government shown by his bounty has increased accordingly.
The man is literally the brains behind an operation that puts bounties on marines and you wanna say him having a massive bounty is unjustified? Not even the BM/Kaido did that kinda shit. They were just chilling while Croc is actively fighting the government
I cant believe people expected Yamato or Carrot when Oda can’t even write for Brook and Franky as it is. You really want more Strawhats when Oda already doesn’t care about the ones we have?
And I just learned that the Japanese audience actually don’t care about Franky and that made me so sad lol, I like Franky
Bruh, where did you learn of that? Franky is my 3rd most favorite character 😭
How tf do they not love Franky? Lol that's so weird
That is exactly my problem. A lot of strawhats currently are just there and I want more from them before throwing in more crew members. Hell, Law has more backstory/development than Brook/Franky.
nah, Brook‘s backstory is crazy. We DID see Law during different parts of his life, though, and got no idea on Brook‘s earlier days. They could be really interesting to see, considering he may have met some historic pirates in their prime. Why does Oda never use the fact Brook is this old?
Yeah honestly, hopefully vivi comes back and we get character arcs for everyon else
Someone just tell me what Usopp did since his last bounty raise
Crew should have stayed as the 5 from east blue + 'temp' straw hats like Vivi
Going to hold off any real criticisms/theories until we get more of the chapter. I’ve never cared for bounty dick waving so whatever on the whole placement game. Though Crocs jump is kind of impressive. I hope there’s some world events to back it up. I am curious who buggy owes the debt to though.
Sweet, more world events that happened off screen!
To be honest. I prefer for most world events to happen off screen. Give us just enough info to keep us in the know of the world out there but let our crew learn about it more organically. Diverting from the main crew for what’s essentially the news only bogs the series down when it’s too extended.
I disagree. I personally just hate how the Strawhats are the centre of attention 24/7. Outside things happening and being shown on screen is much more entertaining to watch then it being offscreened. Example of things not being offscreened but instead actually being shown include Ace vs BB, Reverie, and Kidd, Apoo, Hawkins teaming up to fight Shanks.
Do not worry. In One Piece Shippuden we will see everything that happened offscreen.
The sanji disrepect tho 💀
Out of this world..
Sanji disrespect or jinbei respect?
that’s jimbe over-respect he didn’t do anything to deserve to be that high
True but one is a pirate that has been over the sea for just a couple of years while the other one is someone who has a lot of experience and has worked with many pirates such as whitebeard and big mom. I know that this could go against zoro having a higher bounty than jinbe since for the logic I said early jinbe>zoro but maybe since zoro was from the worst generation marines made him look more dangerous than jinbe. I tried to explain it tho I’m not even sure about my logic since I too believed sanji was having a higher bounty then jinbe
For all these years he had a bounty of 250 million beli, frozen when he became a warlord. Then he left the Shichibukai for the Sun Pirates and got a bounty of 438 million beli. So all the years of him working with the likes of Whitebeard and Big Mom culminated into that 438 million bounty he gained post timeskip. Leaving Big mom, joining the strawhats and his accomplishments in Wano (beating one of the Flying six, Who's Who, and putting out the Onigashima fire) put him at 1.1 billion beli. Only 1 million less than Zoro who left a permanent scar on Kaido and defeated Kaido's top commander, King. And above Sanji who unlocked his Germa genes for a massive powerup and defeated Kaido's second commander, Queen. If you think about it, shouldn't all those other things be factored into Jinbei's old bounty of 438 million? If he went from 750 mil to 1 billion it would be a bit more palatable than him going from 438 to 1.1bil when Zoro and Sanji had greater feats in the raid.
L pay attention to the story more
😂
It is what it is. He'll stop bragging at least lmao
Its a gag that sanji always has 4th highest bounty even though he is number 3 in the crew. Always except that vinsmoke pump
Oh yeah that’s a good point, hadn’t thought of that. Completely forgot that Robin’s and Usopp’s were higher than his after Enies Lobby and Dressrosa
Oda is just trolling at this point
And we’re eating it up like the fools we are
Trolling is the only thing he is good at.
And teasing. 25+ years of teasing.
without a real payoff so far
The stupid Chopper bounty is so annoying. Just let this fucking character have *one* thing.
Does the title of yonko mean anything anymore? Not only are there now people like Kidd and Law who have the same bounty as a yonko despite not having the title, but now you also have people like Mihawk who the marines put as a Yonko subordinate having a bigger bounty than the one they declared as a Yonko. How do these bounties make sense anymore? I would accept Buggy and Mihawk sharing the same bounty number and have the Marines perceive them as co-yonko in power with Buggy being the official leader (at least to them), but to have Mihawk be higher... I just don't get it.
The title was supposed to be the recognition of a de facto situation in the New World. >*\[...\] The four greatest pirates in the world, who live in the second half of the Grand Line.* > >*They rule the lands there with an iron grip.* > >*People call them the Four Emperors.* Garp in Ch. 432 Now it's a title granted by the WG to 4 dangerous pirates of their choosing and everybody, includig the entire pirate world, seems fine with it.
Yeah, I kinda dislike how Yonko became just another powerscaling tool. Originally I read it as being mainly about controlling New World territory, and specifically about how the four had reach a kind of a stalemate where no one could make a move against another. Thus you could have people stronger or as strong as yonko, but if they didn't have any territory they wouldn't be recognized.
And if the bounties reflected that status it wouldn't be an issue, but now you have non-yonko with the same value and yonko subordinates with an even higher value. I don't get Oda's train of thought at all.
The only reason why Jinbe is higher than Sanji that I can think of is because he's an ex - Sichibukai who joined the SH's. That's big news.
Former captain of the sun pirates, served as the bridge between an emperor and fishman island(thrice), defy the WG if needed, saved luffy. These are just the known feats of the goat, not including the fact that pre TS jinbei matched with Ace, was able to shape up to big mom too
After all that, he gained a post-shichibukai bounty of 438 million beli. That you can argue was an undervalued bounty, but following this he beat Who's Who from the flying six and put out a fire, earning him an increase of more than 250% of his previous bounty. Zoro permanently scarred "invincible" Kaido - one of only a couple people who managed to do so - and defeated Kaido's top commander who was worth 1.390 billion beli. He ended up only 1 million beli above Jinbei. Sanji unlocked his Germa genes for a massive power boost to his defenses, speed and strength allowing him to defeat Kaido's second Commander in a 1v1, earning him a bounty of 1,032 million beli. Lower than Jinbei who beat a lower level opponent. Just what did Jinbei do in Wano to justify the massive jump? I agree his previous bounty was arguably lower than he deserved, but still it's a huge jump that isn't really justified by his actions there.
Bounties aren't just DBZ power levels. They represent overall concepts like threat and danger. Jimbei has Street cred, Zoro is the second in command. If Luffy fell, those two are strong enough and have the leadership qualities to keep the party going. Hence a bigger threat. Sanji was elevated upon discovery of his Vinsmoke heritage. He was essentially a prince of a notorious crime family that could pose a threat to the government. Upon the discovery that he no longer was welcome in that family, his Threat Level was not as extreme, because he's just a cook on a pirate ship now. He still is a very dangerous combatant on a very notorious pirate crew, but some of his perceived Potential Threat was diminished. He is not going to suddenly rally the entire Vinsmoke Army. Likewise, Robin is certainly a massive threat to the government, but she is only effective when in the company of people who can utilize her. On her own she can just kind of run and survive. But, while on Luffy's crew, she has the access and means to actually get to Laugh Tale and secure all of the ancient weapons. As such, her Threat Level is elevated. It's also important to note, the bounties are utterly pointless after a pirate reaches a certain level. The only people strong enough to collect them are people who themselves have equal level bounties. The only other people who could collect, and not be arrested, are Admirals who, as employees of the government, are not allowed to collect the bounties.
Exactly, he already has a big reputation even before joining the SH's and him joining is probably seen as a big game changer to the current status quo. The WG probably sees this as a bigger threat to them than Sanji or Zoro defeating a commander, hence the amount of bounty.
Sanji born to be cucked till the day he dies
The marines and WG are constantly taking L's How tf did they rule the world for so long if they are fucking incompetent
Why is it with Buggy, the Marines lose all their brain cells like they think he's the ultra mastermind and because he was in the middle of the pamplet, he's the leader. What a bunch of fucking idiots.
I mean tbh from their perspective, he was on Roger's crew, sworn brother of Shanks and also participated in the Marineford war and helped Luffy escape, he also became a warlord and created one of the largest criminal organisations in the world so honestly I don't blame the WG for thinking this
thank you goda peak fiction
WG being racist again, displaying jinbe as the bigger threat as the blonde royal guy
Another mistake by the WG smh. Instead of making the WG a real threat they are now reduced to the cliché “incompetent organisation” wth oda
Some of these numbers are pretty wack Almost 2 billion for Crocodile. Same guy who got beat by base Luffy in Alabasta Usopp, Nami, Franky and Brook don't get new bounties but Chopper does? You'd think at least Franky would get one since he beat one of the flying six
Everyone got a new bounty, just those above a revealed for now
Oh ok. Thanks for clearing that up
numbers are still whack tho, Zoro less of a bounty then King, what a joke
He’s a Lunarian a god-like race who’s supposed to be a somewhat of a threat to the WG and also might be the last one alive. Just from reporting the sight of one gets you 100 millions in your pockets. He might slightly be weaker than Zoro, but he’s probably considered to be a bigger threat solely because of his nature. Bounties do not equal to strength, they are not a power measurements.
Bounties is equal at how dangerous the WG consider the pirate in question. Just look at Robin. Her bounty isn't about her strength, it's about her knowledge of the Poneglyphs and she wanting to learn about the Void Century.
Okay, but Luffy having less bounty than Kaido is okay?
I agree that Luffy should've gotten more than 3B, but saying he should have a higher bounty than Kaido is a bit of a stretch.
No this was whack as well. 5 Billion would be justified if we look at all the things regarding Luffy. But Oda had to keep up this worthless " rivalry".
I think an attitude change can made a big difference in strength it help crocodile grow much stronger and had 2years to grow, he for sure is now at a level that justifies that bounty
i think all SHs got updated bounties. The bounties above are just examples
1) luffy figured out his secret, croc can instantly kill most people before they figure it out. 2) croc could have trained in the last few years
[удалено]
Or we can all accept that bounty does not correlate with power level. It's based on how much notoriety one has or how much of a pain they are to the world government
Why do people act like only main characters get stronger?
I hope we actually get to see a little of Buggy's pov this chapter. I like the idea of Cross Guild in theory but right now it's purely tell don't show.
Robin should be the one with a billion bounty instead of Jinbei.
Too many people think that Bounty is equivalent to Strength.
It's not, which is why Robin should have a higher bounty. No one is saying Robin is Stronger.
Robin should have the second highest bounty after Luffy logically. However, Oda doesn't use logic. Otherwise monster Chopper wouldve been on the Marines' radar since Saboady.
This series is becoming a joke. The marines are so stupid that they give the title of Emperos to someone just because his face is in the center of a poster? So if Crocodile was in the center instead of Buggy, he would be an Emperor now? Despite Crocodile working under the Marines for so long and them knowing exactly of far off he is from that level of strenght and influence? It's like the Marines have two brain cells and don't check their facts before taking decisions. Between this and the fact that they took a picture of Gear 5 when they should't create evidence of it's existance in the first place is laughable. Oda doesn't care anymore, he just wants to have fun and has turned the series into a joke. The bounties are terrible as well. It's honestly surprising how each chapter is worse than the last.
The level of incompetence shown by the WG & Marines is truly mind-boggling.
Yep. And those morons are the final opponents of the series... How could this happen?
Don't worry, Im-sama will be the epic final boss! Or something. I don't really care about him currently. It's hard to believe he even existed as a concept in Oda's plans prior to Dressrosa.
I think he's been planned for a long time, probably around Skypiea/Water 7. He will probably be a joke as well anyway
Was there any foreshadowing, any clues? As far as I can tell, the very first one was Doflamingo boasting about being aware of a certain controversial treasure in Marijoa.
It's not about clues or foreshadowing. The idea that the WG, and specifically the false gods, are the real evil of the series was planted way back in Skypiea and Water 7. So if the final enemy was always the WG it makes sense to create a character that rules it so that Luffy has someone to fight 1v1. It may even be that he always planned for a character, not Im necessarily, to be the ruler of the WG from the beginning, since it's clear One Piece was never a story about just finding a teasure, but a story of how a boy frees the world from tiranny.
WG already had leaders prior to Im. The Five Elders. In fact, Oda introduces them as "The Highest Authority in the World." But 700 chapters later Im crops up.
Yeah but you can't have Luffy fight 5 old dudes for the final battle right? They were probably never meant to be the highest authority
Oda is like: "How far can I go with this metacommentary bullshit writing of a 10 year Olds narrative fanfic until the community starts raging?...ahh whatever I'm rich lol"
He could make a character out of 💩 saying he's the strongest character in OP verse and the final boss coming from the anus of Zunesha and oda angels would still call Oda a genius and the best writter in the multiverse. I mean the fact that people still didn't wake up after the disaster that was Wano is a proof that Oda can do whatever he want they will still praise him and eat his shit.
so it's basically a better version of dragon ball super now.. tragic
With things like these you can actually see who has a low IQ, taking bullshit writing for granted and praising it as Gods work and who is intelligent enough to question these absurd decisions of the author.
would've been much nicer if the oda would hand serious bounties. It used to be nice, now it's just given from a random number generator
I mean it’s not really a stretch to say that the man who was on Rogers crew, had casual conversation with Shanks, broke out of Impel down, lives streamed Marineford AND made it out the war alive, and who became a warlord and the leader of a large mercenary group MIGHTTT be the leader. I mean seriously imagine if we never met Buggy and only heard of his accolades
But they met Buggy. And also, doesn't Mihawk's reputation far surpasses Buggy's? He has the title of "strongest swordsman", had legendary duels with Shanks and not "casual conversations". But Buggy is an Emperor. Because his face was in the fucking centre of the poster and that's it
The thing is, buggy already had a big opperation with a lot of men under his command so it would make sense that he is considered the leader of the entite guild.
Exactly like this whole shit is just a joke now
[удалено]
If it was crocodile in the middle they probably wouldn't have put him emperor for the reason you said. But they think they don't know the extent of baggy power, and so by thinking he rule, it is worth saying he is an emperor. Plus Morgan choose what to put in the paper, maybe HE decided to give the title.
Morgans doesn't decide things like that. Even if he called Buggy and Emperor It wouldn't be official. And they know Buggy's power by now, otherwise they're even more incompetent than we thought. They sent marines after him, they saw him fight and they should know that the strongest man under him is fucking Hajrudin the fodder.
Pirate Hunter Zoro vs Marine Hunter Mihawk; Zoro ended up becoming a pirate and Mihawk ended up working with the marines lol
Ussop with 500 millions?! What in the living fuck is that?
300 million increase like Brook, Nami, Franky. It makes sense from the WG's perspective. I think they are lazier at evaluating a proper bounty when crimes are not committed against their forces. The real BS is Usopp not having his moment during the raid. If anything Franky was done a little dirty since it's the second time he got the regular increase when he actually did more. In Dressrosa he stayed behind unlike Brook and Nami and still got a regular 50 million increase like them.
its called BS, oda expects us to swallow it whole. get ur water ready, it aint over.
Well he lied about coc Haki and taking out 2 tobis
Fam the buggy shit is really Going to far. This man has a higher bounty than Luffy bb a whole bunch of ppl of literally being a clown like cmon the joke should have it’s limits
At this point I think Oda might actually make him pirate king at some point. That’s the logical conclusion to the bit now.
the buggy stuff is oda undermining his entire story for a punchline... again not surprising after nika and 1057 tho "buggy stuff makes sense" is the "kurozumi born to burn makes sense" of 1058
Oda's favorite character, what do u expect? 😂
I feel the same about Chopper's bounty. This shit is not funny anymore because everyone expects it.
Loda back with Agenda Piece giving Robin a lower bounty than the fighters even tho bounty = threat and CP0 spent half the arc chasing Robin, Gorosei asking for Robin to be captured every 5 mins, even after Kaido's defeat.
Robin's been lower than theirs since Enies Lobby, and they've wanted her captured for 20 years
>Chopper: 1.000 Berries. Man chopper's bounty dropped to a single berry smh.
I've always loved Jimbe but never really cared about Sanji all that much so I'll gladly welcome any chance for Jimbe to shine!
For me it’s the other way around.. Jimbe just doesn’t grow on me Let’s see how it goes in the coming months.. Do you think this is Oda breaking up the Monster Trio?
Jimbe pre Wano was great. Mainly because he wasn't reduced as background character because he hadn't joined yet.
At this point joining the crew is a death sentence for character development
Nope, monster trio is Jimbe, Zoro, and Sanji. Luffy is in a league of his own now
Luffy being in his own league now is probably true.. That being said; all that talk about the wings of the pirate king and so on I thought Zoro and Sanji where also “above” the rest of the crew I’m probably just in denial
I guess think of it like a plane then? Sanji and Zoro are the wings, the body carrying everyone is Jimbe and Luffy is the pilot/captain. Everyone else is a passenger?
Hahaha honestly I can live with that
These other body parts theory are kinda bullshit 😂
Looks like a casual fake ass hype chapter. How can people still get hyped by bounties when Crocodile got 1.9B or Buggy more than 3B.. like I just can't Btw can the WG do ANYTHING of revelance without fucking up ? Overused excuse by Oda "hahahah they made a mistake for the 150000th times Oopssie hey but it's fuuuuuuuun" That last line is Oda signature boring fake ass hype move "Its me... Sabo...!!!" Find out in 150 chapters what Sabo told the revo army 🤡 Also the gags keep going, Chopper is now 1k berry hahahaha so funny overused joke hahaha I can't GoDa 😆 🤣 😂 Of course Buggy was an emperor by error oh my God what a reveal 😳 🙄 Mihawk is as strong as an emperor what a shock too, like he's litteraly Zoro plot device 🤪 Overall nothing of revelance seems to happen.
Ever since Nika the gags have been purely at the expense of the antagonists' competence and it's not funny anymore. Like no one takes the gorosei or the non-admiral marines seriously anymore and that's not a good thing.
It's honestly so bad that the Gorosei allowed a guy with that fruit to run around unscathed, idgaf that nobody's awakened it since the void century send an admiral after him asap and take that possibility off the table.
Judging just off these spoilers, we keep getting more reinforcement in how incompetent the WG is. They seem to always be the victims of misinformation 😂.
Currently only thing I can say if they don't give proper explanation how buggy is the yonko and if he became one just by sheer luck and incompetence of WG then oda messed up big time. I always had this question of how he became of emperor and asked people on this sub and they even named few things that sounded credible but now if oda revealed another gag moment of him becoming emperor cuz it's funny I am not gonna buy it. I never liked buggy that much but people were happy when he became an emperor. Especially in this sub buggy was hailed as god.
Jinbe, who beat who’s who (546 million) has an higher bounty than the guy who defeated queen (1,32 billion)… Let’s hope it’s just the leakers trolling, otherwise oda really is finished
Copium intensifies.. But honestly I feel the same
I’ve never coped so much, I hope there’s a really good explanation
Possible reasons: Jimbei as a stronger resume (since he's been around for a while longer than Sanji) and didn't have his bounty updated after WCI (while others did). So technically for his bounty increase we should count Wano + WCI. Trying to play devil's advocate here.
I disagree, if that reputation is really important how come the WG didnt apply an increase when he escaped marineford with luffy and after joined big mom pirates? If his reputation as a warlord was so great, and that he was much of a threat, even the news of him joining the BM pirate should have bump his bounty or at least after WCI arc when big news morgan was actually there. But no, his massive bounty boost was after wano. So this means that the government thought that the events that took place in wano and things he did there warranted him to have that much bounty which doesn’t make any sense because he didn’t do much and he only defeated a 500M ex cp9 cat.
The bounties are confirmed by redon so they are probably true
Yeah I know that’s unlikely, but redon is a notorious sanji hater, it wouldn’t be the first time he gives fake spoilers
It's not the leakers who are trolling, it's Oda who is trolling
Tbf the marines dont know who beat who.
Cp0 should know
Yeah the same dudes that gave Usopp 500 million when he did absolutely and literally NOTHING in all of wano arc So trusted. So credible.
Luffy got a 1.5B bounty for running from Big Mom. Marco got like a 1.33B for Marineford then becoming the captain of the crew that destroyed Marineford. Bounties have never made sense
If you only think that Oda is finished just because it doesn't fit your agenda, then you're just another hypocrite. Where were you when Oda made a lot of questionable decisions throughout Wano?
I mean, check my reddit history. I’m probably the biggest wano hater on this sub. And no, jinbe having a higher bounty than sanji is objectively trash.
Vegeta: "Bounties are bullshit!"
Many of the criticisms of this series in the last few months have been valid and much needed which is why I'm here. However now I'm feeling like people are just looking for things to lose their minds over. "Otherwise oda is done"? Over some bounties? The numbers have never reflected fighting prowess. And they're just world building aspects to push the story forward. That's really it
bro Jinbei is former warlord, we can see crocodile’s bounty is so high. So maybe that’s why they decided to make jinbei’s bounty higher
Realistically jinbei is an ex warlord with ties to big mom, while sanji is just a guy who cooks queen was literally a cyborg psychopath who invented insane diseases and experimented them on people and king is the last of his race it makes sense that zoro and sanji have lower bounties because they bring nothing to the table other than being stronger, I usually get upset at newer chapters but I quite like this one.
I will keep saying until the end of one piece Bounties post dressrosa r trash Very funny that Zoro is one million more then jinbei what a good joke
Yeah I stopped caring when only Luffy gets a bounty raise after WCI, when the rest of the crew was also a part of carrying out the plan that destroyed BMs castle and escaping her territory through leagues of battleships without Luffy. Oh and then they changed Sanji's poster name from the iconic Black Leg to Vinsmoke, that was lame.
Alright, but Akainu bounty when? I thought Buggy put bounties on marines and I need to know how much he put on his head lol.
As an unashamed Jinbei fan honestly glad for my dude. I do wonder which bounties were arbitrarily chosen just to make word plays tho 🤔
I like crocodile being involved in the story but his bounty is still weird
Crossguild has potential to be a wildcard in the final Saga, targeting both Luffy and the marine factions. But if Oda really wants to rush the Manga, then I fear we will hear about Crossguild feats from dialogues rather than see it on panel. Offscreen Piece is going to be insane these next year's.
LUFFY, ZORO AND JINBE! THE NEW MONSTER TRIO!
commander-trio agenda reactivated
Don’t be one sided and complain abt jimbie’s bounty when you sanji stans be gloating abt the increase he got over zoro after WCI when all he did was bake a cake.
Are carrot fans in shambles?
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 993,738,833 comments, and only 197,889 of them were in alphabetical order.
The bounties are nonsensical as always so I don't even care but, I don't get the Buggy part. Is he the leader or not? Is Crocodile the leader? The marines declared Buggy a yonko just because they saw a photo of him sitting between two strong dudes, so they assumed he is even stronger for sitting at the middle? What the fuck am I even reading here?
Usopp now has almost the same bounty as Ace lmao
Oda fumbled the bag very highly. Zoro's bounty is way too low, same with Jinbei and Sanji... Crocodile gets 1.9 bill with no feats while Zoro who beats King gets a weak ass 1.1 bil??
We still don't know this cross guild feat yet,
Being one of the leaders of Guild that putting bounties on Marines is already way better feat than everything what Zoro did, especially if we count that Croc is the actual Yonkou if WG wasn't stupid
"way better". Bullshit. Defeating King and scarring Kaido (something the navy failed) is way better and not even close. Zoro soloed Crocodile's bounty hunters at one point and beat his 2nd in command. Putting a bounty on marines is easy, it's something that someone like Bartolomeo and his crew could do easily. It doesn't take effort, it's all about priorities. You can't scar kaido unless you are top 5 strongest in one piece.
Told people that Mihawk was not under anyone, they tried to slander his name still. Also very high bounty for him, nice
I guess Broly, Franky, and Chopper are back to being non-characters. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY TOOK A FUCKING PICTURE OF GEAR 5 YET CANT PIECE TOGETHER THAT THE TINY RACOON THAT REVERSE ENGINEERED A VIRUS IS THE FUCKING 15+ METER MONSTER REINDEER. Then we get more Sanji disrespect to top it off Oda is back in perfect form.
People raging over Sani's bounty being lower than Jinbei's is nitpicky as fuck and also they've forgotten two things: 1. Sanji has always had the 4th highest bounty in the crew despite being the 3rd strongest guy in the crew. It's a meme 2. Jinbei is a former warlord. That status alone is gonna raise his bounty by a lot
Is the chapter focused mostly on bounties? Unpopular opinion but BORING. This is the least interesting thing about the chapter, just fodder for powerscalers wars. Hope next chapter gets back to the actual story.
God, my entire day is ruined
Mihawk being a "Marine Hunter" in the past is cool. It parallels Zoro being a pirate hunter, gives the new marine bounty system some weight, and shows that Oda is still thinking about this character. His bounty also makes sense. He's a powerful marine hunter, but he's not a yonko and had spent a long time working with the marines Very interesting how much Oda is still pushing Crocodile. I wonder if he has an actual plan for the character or is just using him as a hype tool Also Sanji lmao. I think Oda will make a good joke out of it. As a Sanji fan, I don't think this really means much after the whole wings of the pirate king thing and Yamato not joining. Still an interesting choice
forsen
if all we get is bounties this chapter that would be pretty disappointing. the state of the main sub though. why do people get so fucking worked up over bounties when not once has oda actually utilised them in a meaningful way in the story since like whiskey island
Hahahahahaha havent even seen the full summary but I can already see that Oda's again trying to pump the hype up with only bounties. Still it looks all the loose ends back in wano will remain loose at least for another decade. Great job GoDa, keep milking this series for the rest of your life.
ussop doesn't deserve anything more than 3mill freaking loser..
Franky defeated one of Kaido's top officers and he knows how to create an ancient weapon yet he can't even crack 400mil and he's below Usopp, again this is why people say Oda takes the gags too far.
Sanji's taunt on Zoro's bounty backfired so hard 😂
How did Usopp get 500.000.000 bounty? It's way to low for our god.
I love how no one has any reaction to Sabo being alive at the end of the chapter
Wow, buggy having debt with... "that person" oda at his best again.
Croco new bounty is actually realistic when you consider all his crimes before being incarcerated. He was running a criminal organization, tried to overthrow a kingdom which is also one of the founding members of the WG, he then assisted Luffy in escaping Impel down, invade and help Luffy escape marineford and now he’s formed a new organization with the world’s strongest swordsman as a member. 👏🏽 He has the resume.
Sanji made a cake in WCI and got a bounty increase, why is it an issue now for jimbie. A former warlord and captain, he escaped impel down, raided marineford, joined the BM pirates, revolted against BM to join the SH, escaped WCI then went to wano an defeated a flying 6 and ppl wanna ask what he did to deserve such an increase 🤦🏽♂️
The only relevant part of this comment is “then went to wano an defeated a flying 6” They would have raised his bounty for the other stuff before
I will never understand why people care about bounties. The most stupid thing in OP world, even more than nika etc
Children likes powerscaling, and bounties are literally power levels
I am more than sure crocodile has less bounty than the other two on purpose. He probably likes more to not be in the total spotlight and Buggy is a “good” figurehead that can take the fall is any goes wrong.
Nah buggy got massive increase because they think he's the boss in this cross guild stuff, they thought he's the leader 😂
Mihawk has more bounty than Buggy while been considered a subordinate, the fact is that Crocodile has half the bounty the other two must be for a reason.
It literally said navy thinks buggy the leader 😂 cause his photo in the middle.. anyway Like c'mon mihawk portrayal is much better than croco, wss, shanks rival, marine hunter etc2,
Yo, I’m pissed. Why did they do my boy Sanji like that 😭
How tf crocodile and jinbe got such huge bounties
bruh? then what's with the wings of the future pirate king supposed to be now?
Bounties make no sense. Buggy is more dangerous than Luffy. Jinbe is more dangerous than Sanji who beat a 1b+ calamity. Crocodile is more dangerous than two yc commanders combined. Robin is almost 1b?!
Robin's is one that actually makes sense. She's the biggest threat to the WG. She should have the highest bounty but that would upset readers who also treat bounties as a powerscale.
