perhaps the 600 000 000 isn't far of, perhaps yu are right, BUT, what about the rest of the crew. I mean, if it is going to take a long time till we see the others and Luffy will smash Impel Down by himself then he would be worth 600 000 000 and the second in his crew only 120 000 000. That is too much of a difference to me. I thought 300 000 000 and 120 000 000 was a big difference allready so here's hoping that somehow, someway, the SH's going to be back together and rather sooner then later
Bounty Increasing After Tenryuubito's Incident?
-
-
How high do you think Dragon's bounty is?
-
at least 1 billion. everything else below that would be ridiculous for the most dangerous man in the OP-world.
-
It seems we don't know anything about the bounties of people living behind the Redline, they may be way out of reach, or they may have no bounty at all ! I don't think you can put a bounty on WB for example, because there is (was) a balance between powers that every one agreed with - WG, pirates, marines - and putting a bounty on WB would mean direct war.
I think the New World will be another level, we'll discover other forces that even most Shichibukais can't measure to, simply because we now know almost everything about shichis, they are (only) the guardians of the Grand Line. We know that Moria wasn't able to stay in the New World, Crocodile's dream was also destroyed there, etc.
And we know that Yonkus rule the world in NW, not the marines, so why would they have bounties there ? -

especially that the yonkous don't have bounties at all, cause they're too mighty and the marines aren't as powerful in the NW as in the first half of the GL. -
He'll get a bounty Increase, but then so will all the Shichibukai who undoubtedly betray the government still dwarfing the SH. Then the Yonkou will finally be revealed dwarfing even those and common bad pirates in the New World will have bounties in the 100 million -200 million.
Or they'll ditch bounties altogether and use a different way to rank them by relative strength&threat level(like ID 1-6) since bigger and bigger numbers seems like it will become retarded.
-

Also, whatever the SH will do in the NW, who will report it to the the rest of the world and to the marines so that they can decide what bounty they should have ? I don't think they are any newspaper informing the world about events in the NW, they may only hear about some huge events once in a while, for example if WB was to die, or if someone was able to reach Raftel…

@Blue: As you asked for, I have one correction to put on your autoquote ;)
You said:
- He then enters florian triangle and defeats another one of the royal Shichibukai Moria (former bounty 320.000.000B) he was also set to get killed by Kuma (but he is seen living later on (doesnt matter the reason he is leaving after they told Kuma to kill him = escapes another Shichibukai)
But Kuma was supposed to have kill Luffy on Shabady island, and not back then on TB!
Sengoku even yelled at him asking him if it was pity from their injuries !
But as the defeat of Moria should not be know, they didn't rise their bounties!And about the topic, I was thinking about it to lately, and I was beting on a 900MB :P
I guess 600 should be ok but not less !! -
But Kuma was supposed to have kill Luffy on Shabady island, and not back then on TB!
@Chapter:
Phone: This is an order from the World Government!!
Find anyone remaining on the island,
including the Straw Hat Crew,
and ELIMINATE them…Kuma: Easily done.
No offense, but some people should check whether their "corrections" are valid beforehand.
-
Since oda said that if enel were a wanted pirate his bounty would be 500 mil we know for sure that there are people with bounties of 500 mil and over.
-
I was thinking about bounties in the New World and I thought: is there even a point to put out bounties for pirates like the Yonkou? I mean, who's crazy (or strong) enough to try and fight Whitebeard/Shanks to earn the cash? I think that maybe the strongest pirates in the New World don't even have a bounty, in fact I see the NW as a sea controlled more by pirates than by the world government and the marine.
-
Well, they could always phrase a Yonkou's bounty as "Inquire at Marine HQ after positive identification is made." This gives them broad leeway in dealing with the utterly improbable phenomenon of a bounty hunter bringing in a Yonkou.
1. Pay them a ridiculous sum of money and give them the snail phone numbers of attractive members of whatever sex they happen to be attracted to.
or
2. Kill them, before they decide to take over the world.

Of course they have bounties. And to answer the "who's crazy (or strong) enough", the guys on Level 5 of Impel Down struck me as crazy enough to go after him(although maybe not for the money), and we know that everyone on that level is tremendously strong. How strong? We don't know yet. But the likes of Ace and Jimbei are held there so I'd say pretty darn strong.
And yeah, the New World is pretty much Pirate Land. After all, it's said that the Yonkou rule it like Emperors. Thus the name. They are enormous threats to the WG, and that's why they are taking such a huge chance in luring Whitebeard in. If they can get the strongest man in the world, then that would be a huge milestone for them. Although it would probably cause more bad than good. Jimbei knows this, and that's why he tried to stop it.
-
I doubt Luffy's bounty will go up substantially. I mean, no one knows he beat Gecko Moria, and the Tenryuubito incident wasn't a substantially more extreme incident than the Straw Hat pirates declaring war on the World Government, burning the flag and (allegedly) burning Enies Lobby while simultaneously saving Nico Robin.
I know you guys are quick to jump on the idea that every such incident should substantially increase bounties, but I disagree. Once you get to a certain level of illegal action, subsequent equal level actions won't increase bounty as substantially as the first one.
I predict maybe a 50 million or so increase maximum for Luffy; the lesser bounties on the rest of the crew might increase substantially though.
-
A Lot of the comments here make me rage, People complain and dispute that bounties isn't only a measure of strength but how much the WG wants you dead, yet when something happens that the WG would want you dead you get " No they won't be getting a higher bounty" ….
http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/320/04/ - Read Cleary what the Admiral Says…
-
Rage away all you want my friend, but the idea that I personally am trying to explain is that once you do one act that the WG would want you dead for, doing a few more won't make a huge difference. You'd either have to do something even more extraordinarily ridiculous compared to that or do MANY more of the same, and the straw hats have only done about 3 or 4 more ridiculous things since the Enies Lobby affair.
Rob someone you're a criminal. Murder someone you have a stigma and you're a worse criminal. Murder 5 people, however, and you're still just a killer. You're not a serial killer until you repeatedly kill or until you add a twist to your crimes.
Right now the straw hats are just the typical class A (arbitrary but necessary mode of classification) pirates (at least for the end of the old world) that do crazy things.
They haven't done anything that is EXTRAORDNARILY more crazy than the Enies Lobby incident (Tenryuubito affair, Gecko Moria, invasion of Impel Down are all crazy but not on a different level than Enies Lobby), and they haven't done the type of action that Enies Lobby was repeatedly yet (they just haven't had the time).
That's why we recognize the initial mass increase in bounty Luffy got after Enies Lobby. But the WG already gave the Luffy a Shichibukai-level type bounty and has already implied its desires to want the Straw Hat crew at least imprisoned. Increasing the bounty a bit for each subsequent action that is on the same level as the initial incident makes more sense than increasing exponentially again.
What the world government could do however is balance the distribution of bounties between the Straw Hats a bit, by increasing all the lesser bounties by a lot more.
Honestly, if you look at Luffy's large bounty jumps, the difference in significance is apparent.
Luffy is an unknown who beats a pirate with a 20,000,000 bounty (Arlong) and makes an enemy of the marines, so he gets a 30,000,000 bounty. If he just kept on beating 20-50 million guys and chastising that same level of marine, his bounty wouldn't increase too significantly. So what does he do?
He beats a Shichibukai. However, since information regarding the incident was somewhat suppressed, it wasn't a world issue. Hence, increase to 100,000,000.
The increase to 300,000,000 involves literally declaring war on the World Government and rescuing and naming a danger to the world as a nakama. The straw hats have already declared war on the WG. Would hitting a Tenryuubito really be an action that much more drastic than that?
I don't think so.
-
I wasn't really referring to you in particular, but I do see your point, But I though disobeying the Tenryuubito is tantamount to spiting in the face of a king, or President.
Also I don't want to say it would (if any) jump a lot, BUT the WG is obviously angry that Luffy went and beat another Warlord, but they can't just raise his bounty for something they're trying to cover up. I would see both instances chalking up to what could be a bounty increase.
And If Luffy and the other Escape from Imple Down, I can almost guarantee that there will be an increase, as you see from the last few chapters, when ever they spotted Luffy on the Snail-cams They would say' Luffy and the other two', They suspect him to be the primary arbitrator. Most of the criminals in the Prison saw Luffy, They don't know who he was, but what they do know is someone caused a ruckus, While all the guards seen him too. The truth won' be suppressed so easily and the WG doesn't want to seem weak in the face of all the stuff this man and his crew are doing so to fix this little 'problem' some measures will have to be taken.
I really hate to put down other people theory's but from what I've been reading… You just don't mess with the Tenryuubito. I mean just one of the can order an Admiral to come to their aid. Even with the buster call only Vice-Admirals showed up. Aokiji was just there to oversee thing towards the end....
At most I'd see Luffy's jumping maybe 50m - 70m ?
-
They haven't done anything that is EXTRAORDINARILY more crazy than the Enies Lobby incident. Invasion of Impel Down
are all<is>crazy but not on a different level than Enies Lobby.</is>From Chapter 530:
Sengoku: We're in the middle of an incident certain to shake this entire ocean… and that fool decides to make the situation even worse...!! Enies Lobby, the Tenryuubito incident, and now this...!! This is all completely unprecedented!!! The escape of the Flying Pirate, Kinjishi, twenty years ago, may have been a failure on our part, but it has been twenty years since then!! And of all the hundreds of thousands of prisoners imprisoned there we have had not a single successful jailbreak, much less an intrusion, in all that time!! The iron walls of the Great Prison have held flawlessly firm for twenty years!!!
Sengoku: Why is it that the man to besmirch that record and become the first man ever to penetrate Impel Down is that blasted grandson of yours again, Garp?!!!
The Strawhats have already declared war on the WG. Would hitting a Tenryuubito really be an action that much more drastic than that?
At face value and to the Marines, maybe not. To the most important people to the World Government? Yes. Using the past chapter as a reference, Sengoku and the Marines were under the impression that the Strawhat pirates were eliminated. If the world learns that they escaped "Justice", it will be an insult to the Marines and will outrage the World Nobles. Now, whether or not that deserves an addition or not is up for debate, but I would wager that the World Nobles will demand an increase regardless. Even still, the next increase will probably be a combination of the Tenryuubito incident and Impel Down. Sengoku used Enies Lobby, the Tenryuubito Incident, and Impel Down as all equally "unprecedented" crimes. IN A ROW!! If they all escape after this, there should definitely be another increase. Perhaps you are right in that they will balance everyone more evenly, but Luffy definitely deserves another increase since he will be beyond world famous for Impel Down – if not for the Tenryuubito incident as well. Remember, according to Chapter 530 Sengoku had thought Luffy was taken care of.
-
You said what I couldn't think of brennen. I thank you for that. Kid and Law bounty will probably rise too, If they escaped… But this thread isn't about them now is it...
-
Hmm, I was downplaying the significance of the Impel Down invasion a bit. Those direct statements from Sen Goku are extreme enough for me to not downplay it anymore. Are those translations 100% dependable? As in can we assume that "completely unprecedented" and the implications of that phrase are canon? If so then I'll have to admit that the invasion of Impel Down, especially right after the Tenryuubito affair, might in combination be enough to substantially increase the Bounties.
But speaking about the Tenryuubito affair right after Enies Lobby (and Gecko Moria), and assuming that Sen Goku would have found out that they were still alive, I don't think there would have been a significant increase.
Now? Well, those quotes are pretty significant, but I still don't see a DRASTIC increase. The other crew members might get big increases, but I don't see Luffy doubling his Bounty or anything. I'll increase my initial ceiling of 50,000,000 to maybe around 150,000,000. Of course, it's arbitrary, but my point is that I can see the increase being more than just minimal now.
To see the full effect of the invasion of Impel Down, we're probably going to have to wait a few more months, so maybe I shouldn't try and guess its significance just yet.
-

As much as cnet's ever are. Stephen's isn't up yet, which is why I was hesitant to post at all. I figure it can't change that much. In any case, I don't think we will see another huge increase, but I hope to see other members get a larger increase, and I expect to see Luffy get an increase in general. I agree with you for the most part, but I do expect to see increases for these events.

Don't forget beating another Shickibukai while you're at it^O^

I don't know if anyone noticed this, but I believe Luffy already got a bounty increase.
! http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/531/02/
! If you look closely at the wanted poster in the lower right panel, you can make out that what would appear to be the second number of the bounty is NOT a 0, but a 3 or 8.
! I could be wrong and it may just be a misaligned 300, but this is Oda we're dealing with. -
Someone raised this in the chapter discussion thread, and was answered with the possibility that it was Luffy's very first bounty poster (ahh, nostalgia) that they were making reference to.
Still, good eyes, there!

Just to reiterate; Sengoku was under the assumption that Luffy had been "eliminated", so why would they have raised his bounty?

Because most in this forum can only retain information from the latest chapter and is subsequently forgotten as soon as a new one comes out.
Anyway with Luffy's eventual escape from Impel Down, even though I don't see him succeeding in rescuing Ace it's not unfeasible to expect an increase. Even then, it at least gives them an excuse to include Luffy's victory over Moria in addition to the already known major events like punching Charloss and (now)escaping from Borsalino. Since once Luffy's survival is known publicly I bet the Celestial Dragons are gonna be pissed and demand action. Then once the Strawhat Pirates are together again and are also confirmed to have made it alive publicly even Usopp might see an increase. Which would be rather hilarious considering he didn't know the person he landed on was Roswald.
And since Buggy is the name all the prisoners are chanting(which I'm sure will likely end up happening on levels 3 and 4 as well) he'll likely receive as much blame as Luffy regarding all that's happening in Impel Down since I'm sure he'll escape as well(with Mr. 3 and Bon Clay at least as new crewmembers?).
-
I don't think buggy will get much though, because the guard in ID would not want to report to the higher up that they let an unknown man created this whole mess. If they do that they only bring shame to themselves, and in the latest chapter, it seem that they want to solve their own problem.
If you were a chief of ID, would report that the man who created all this chaos is Monkey D Luffy, the man who destroyed EL earlier ? or would you report that an unknown pirate do all this?

If I were a chief of ID, I would tell Sengoku or anyone authorized that it's Luffy, but I would tell everyone else that it's some random guy because common sense dictates that to be the correct protocol.
As for his bounty being raised from that incident, it will happen. Kizaru was a witness to what Kuma did and told Sengoku what happened. That in mind, there is no way anyone would believe Luffy to be dead, least of all Sengoku.
But with all of this chaos, his bounty will probably jump to 1,000,000,000. I choose that number because it's a realistic jump and it fits Luffy's bounty pattern. Also, that would take Luffy out of 'Rookie' status, which he was labeled with in Saobody.

Um, Sengoku DID think the whole crew was dead, Luffy included.

I think Kuma told the Marines, Kizaru included, that he "finished off" the Strawhat Pirates.

I'm really amazed how you people can sometimes make such statements when the exact opposite was stated in the manga itself. As others have already said, Sengoku believed that Kuma eliminated the entire crew at Sabaody. He said it himself on this page. How anyone could think the exact opposite is beyond me.

But now he knows that they are NOT dead …
-
But now he knows that they are NOT dead …
only when he was seen at ID, they wouldne't issue a new bounty straight away because
1)they would have to discuss the new bounty
2) he's in a strong hold -bounties are for bounty hunters unless he gets out of ID they won't increases his bounty. -
Yes … Now his bounty might go up because of the tenryuubito and also , if he escapes ID .
-
out of topic: How did the hell Kuma convince the marines that he got rid of the SHs , and how did he explain the disappearance of the kumabot when Kizaru saw him 'getting rid' of the kumabots; "That look-a-like is irritating, I'm the only Kuma here!"?

I never argued that. I argued the ridiculousness (sp?) of opposing what's clearly stated in the manga.

Can't say anything about the Pacifista, but scattering people across a sea faring planet, especially one whose geography is as sparse and sectionalized as One Piece's, seems like a pretty effective way to eliminate a group to me.

A'ah bounty check.
After Luffy enter the New World,cause a ruckus in Impel Down, Fishman Island, Whitebeard vs Marine war, Golden Lion Incident & when the crews are reunited…
Weird...I think Oda follow a pattern here...
Luffy - 900 million ( Always triple )...or could be 1000 million
Sanji - 500 million ( He did mention about getting double bounty than Zoro..maybe he did something DRASTIC)
Zoro - 240 million ( Always double 60,120,...240)
Usopp - 200 million (He hit Sir Roswald)
Franky - 166 million
Brook - 99 million
Nico Robin - 90 million
Nami - 60 million
Tony - ? 500 belli? lol 1 million belli -most expensive pet. -
Let's just rename the thread "Bounty Increasing After Impel Down Incident?"
Luffy might actually reach a billion after this.
-
I can understand the pattern you guys are suggesting, but come on a BILLION!?!?
Or even 900 million seems very excessive. I'm sure many New World Pirates will have bounties rivaling the 7 war lords, and many more with bounties way higher. But I just can't see Luffy gaining more than 500 million. With Zoro getting more than 200 million, and Sanji(with sexy feminine photo) at around 150-170 million, and not even that high if they don't get involved with this war.

Given some knowledge of Kuma's DF he could've made up some ability he may or may not have where a single swaying touch of his hand can deflect you out of existence or something like that lol…....
I doubt the marines actually knew he sent them flying for a few days

Why not a billion? Bounties aren't power levels they are a figure which represents the threat they are to the WG. So while strength is still a factor, the behaviour and the victims are just as important. Luffy has shown that he's willing to challenge the WG head on and that he's a danger to the balance in the world. Compared to that someone who's quite a bit stronger than Luffy, but who only plunders towns and commits massmurder would recieve a far lower bounty.
After this incident the WG won't be able to allow Luffy to run wild anylonger. They'll have to hunt him down as fast as possible because he will certainly destroy the balance between the 4 emperors and the WG + Shichibukai and protecting that balance might be worth a billion to them.Right now Luffy's bounty is the only one which might increase after this arc.
-
If Luffy really get's a bounty near to 1 billion, maybe we'll finally see a/some really strong bountyhunter(s)… I'd really like to see one.
What do you guys think when his new bounty will be released (putting the amount aside for a moment)? I can't wait to finally see a bounty over 340mio.
-
If Luffys bounty injcreases, it would have to increase by a greater amount, a raise from 300 to 400 Million for example would make no sense, since the last raise was by 200 Million. But a bounty like 500 Million is too high if you ask me. Compare it to bountys we now, like Doflamingo's or Kuma's. Of course, it was frozen a while ago, but Luffy just isn't strong enough to have such a high bounty (I'm aware that a bounty does not equal strength, but it gives at least a hint of it).
Furthermore, it is too early for a new raise. The last was 2 years ago and there is still a long way to go. -
Yep, Luffy won't get a bounty increase in a while. First of all, he needs to get it in his head that the world is in great peril. He'll then decide to save it. Then, he needs to get much much better at combat. Haki is mandatory.

-
Building on nine's theory from page 3:
Suppose two seperate bounties get put on Luffy's head? One from the world Gov't. and another from St. Rosward's family. It is conceivable that the second bounty could be as high as 500 million, while the preexisting bounty only goes up by another 40~50 million. Of course in practice, this would mean that Luffy only really has one bounty on his head, since he can only be delivered into custody once by the same entity. And since bounty hunters aren't stupid, they'll hand him over to whoever will pay the most.
