@Gizmo:
It's just that I can't imagine there's many possibilities for the crew to raise their bounties anymore outside of defeating an Emperor or taking on Mariejois/crashing the Council of Kings. So I'm expecting Zoro's bounty to always be the second highest in the crew at the end of the series, but I'm just wondering how that would be done feasibly. The main way would be for Jinbe to not take on the powerhouses that Zoro will and Zoro getting more credit, but does that mean Jinbe won't be making major impacts while on the Straw Hat crew to warrant increases that make his bounty the secondest highest? Or will Zoro's feats and the other feats of the crew be that much higher?

Just voicing my thoughts on the situation in my reply to sinreturns. Jinbe's bounty tapering off makes sense. Jinbe did mention it's difficult for bounties to raise once over 400 million. I just have to think then that if Jinbe does join when the crew faces an Emperor, then he's not going to have a visible impact like fighting a major underling of the Emperor in order to justify the tapering of his bounty. And that could actually mean he's doing behind the scenes work like Mr. Prince so I'm not saying he won't play a critical role necessarily. It's just, well, Robin's a good example of someone who's potentially really powerful but hasn't had a fight in forever, and the bounty has reflected that status.
And the other main point I wanted to get out of the discussion is that I can't imagine the crew's going to have many Bounty raises after this. Like I mentioned, other than clashing with an Emperor or attacking Mariejois, what else could result in a bounty raise for the crew at this point?
We still have a warlord that hasn't been revealed yet. When Kaido and Big Mam get defeated that would probably put Zoro ahead of Jinbe easily. Sanji has a good opportunity to pull ahead since he is the only character with a bounty that says "Wanted Only Alive"…
Jinbe's current bounty is an unknown amount that probably is a little higher than 400 mil. Zoro is already close behind Jinbe so the next bounty will probably put him in second place sooner or later.
Assuming Jinbe's bounty is 410 mil.
Zoro's next bounty could be after an emperor gets defeated. It could go from 320 mil to 470 mil. IMO That would be a reasonable ballpark estimate(increase by 150 mil) since its an emperor crew..
Jinbe could get a smaller increase and go from 410 to 440 mil.
Sanji could go from 177 mil to 380 mil.. He would be the 4th highest bounty at this point because I don't think the rest of the crew would break the upper 300 mil bounty range.
Other crew members would probably get something like this..(rough estimate)..
Nami 66 mil to 166 mil
Usopp 200 mil 300 mil
Chopper 100 to 250 mil (don't know how long the pet gag will continue..)
Robin 130 mil to 230 mil
Franky 94 mil to 294 mil
Brook 83 mil to 183 mil
If another nakama joins I wonder what their bounty would be.
Numbers probably are inflated but just throwing around numbers to get an idea. For contributing to the defeat of DD 50 mil was handed out…now if they defeat an emperor I would think that 100 mil increase for most of the crew could be expected. Personally hope that Franky does something incredible and gets a 200 mil upgrade.
Instead of seeing group bounties we could also get a couple of individual bounty increases as well.
@GetsugaZoro:
I dont know, the Dwarves apparently didn't apparently since they are just runing around Dressora and no one is arresting them but they have the excuse of being citizens from Dressrosa and were defending their country, maybe Kinemon did get a bounty.
Kinemon didn't defeat any major family member so there is a chance that he avoided getting a bounty. It would be interesting if he got a bounty..don't think it would make a big difference since the samurai don't really follow any group, so I doubt a bounty would be a big deal.
