@Greg:
Yes, I realize that. Hence 'until now'.
It was first brought up in the second chapter back.
Anyway, on the topic of
HOLY SHIT DID I SEE THAT RIGHT?
I think that crazy-eyed fucker shot the Marine dead.
I looked for ANY sign of rescue/life/reassuring shitty line/appearance in other panels and the such, but nothing.
I think Oda just killed a nameless grunt.
This is a good sign.
Watch as he's seen taken away on a stretcher next chapter:ninja:
@RobbyBevard:
Considering it was there since Fluffy first appeared?
You missed the heavy debate on if it was a typo or translation error, I suppose.
It wasn't until this chapter it got said a second time and confirmed I think. Doesn't matter, its just a placeholder bounty anyway so when it jumps to its next absurd number it doesn't seem SO crazy.
Does mean Luffy now has the highest stated bounty in the series at this point. Also means we're probably due to get a couple of the really big boys soon to put it in context.
Zoro might have a higher bounty now too, though what for specifically, no telling.
400 million seems fair at any rate. Luffy would have gotten a much higher one but then he went inactive for two years. Now once he's proven to be active, he'll get an insane one reflective of his crazy exploits AND his strength rather than just solely for the if he had just went to the New World.
