Good post Dixxy but i honestly don't beleive anyone bar Sanji and Franky should get new bounties as a result of this arc. i'm still undecided as whether to raise anyone bar Luffy's as well.

Mr. 3 did NOT give Luffy trouble. Luffy didn't have a serious look on his face once in the entire fight. I'll admit he was alot more serious w/ Foxy, however, both Mr. 3 and especially Foxy used tons of tricks in their fights against Luffy. Bellamy did a few attacks and then made a direct attack that was countered, and this was his downfall.
Luffy has never taken any of his fights seriously; he's no Goku in that he acts nice but fights seriously, he's always fluctuating between the two.
Buggy, Kuro, Mr.3 and Foxy all nearly beat Luffy. Krieg and Arlong, East Blue's toughest contenders, were both crushed by Luffy…in the same day!
Just those examples alone illustrate that bounties can be misleading. Luffy has approached every fight thus far in the same way; he gets angry sometimes, but he's still not beyond acting silly.

About a hypothetical bounty on Sanji's head, Oda have often used the frustration of the cook about the fact that Zoro has a bounty and not him for making fun of Sanji. (pirate A, then B, cf episode 268 ^^)
Maybe Oda will want to keep this running joke.

i personally think it's time to tip the scales on the part of that frustration, though knowing that Oda favours Zoro like he does, i can see Sanji getting a bounty that dwarfs Zoro's initial bounty but is left than his bounty at the end of this arc, i.e. Sanji = 150m berri. Zoro = 151m berri.

I think Chopzilla will get a bounty instead of regular Chopper, b/c Chopzilla was seen climbing the ToJ

Agreed. Running gags can only go so long before they get old. Especially if the running gag ceases to make any sense.
I've always thought that Sanji's first bounty would be a minimum of 120 mil, just because it's twice Zoro's first bounty (or, his first bounty would be 2x whatever Zoro's bounty is at the time if Sanji doesn't get a bounty by the end of Enies Lobby). But Zoro's next bounty will be at least twice Sanji's first bounty. So if Sanji's first bounty is 120 million, Zoro's would be 240.
But I also like the 150/151 thing as well :) I'm just convinced Zoro will get the bigger bounty, and as much as I love Sanji I would be slightly disappointed if Oda gave him the bigger bounty (unless Sanji does something INSANE before the end of this arc, which at this point is extremely unlikely).

i find that very interesting considering that Sanji has done a lot more than Zoro this arc, he's actually deserved of the recognition.

Lol, that would be a pretty good joke indeed.
Always behind, just a little bit, yes, but behind Zoro. ^^

But Zoro has the already existing bounty, so they would take everything Zoro did back in Arabasta/Whiskey Peak into account as well as everything from Enies Lobby. Plus, Zoro was the one who gave the final blow to T-Bone, so that adds to the list a little bit.
We also know Oda likes to do crazy increases in bounties - Luffy's increased over 300% and Crocodiles should have been doubled.
