After the next arc maybe there will be new bounties… Cause they know of the threat of the crew the WG will look closely each move they did... Like the foreshadowing they will probably challenge Jimbei and after defeating they will get new one...
My thoughts are that this time Luffy only get a small increase cause he have such high bounty.
I think that Zoro will get closely to Luffy followed by Sanji and Franky with some distanced... But the biggest increase will be Chopper 
So what do you think
poor zoro got lost and needs an update… too lazy to find a thread, go check the spoilers a couple chapters back...
you're in for some fun
I don't see a bounty increase happening for at least another arc or two that way bounties don't seem so trivial.
ack, read the post wrong 
,,, i thought you meant after this arc there will be bounty increase
MY BAD, I AM AN IDIOT!!!
i don't think it's that implausable that the bounty increases will start to become more frequent since the gov't is paying even closer attention to the Mugiwara gang…
i can't predict the increases, but i will say that i think luffy will still get high increases... IMO

No problem :happy:
but like you and I said… The WG now has a open eye for the Straw-Hats so I think they will get new bounties but this time Luffy not such an increase
I'd say they'll all get another bounty update after they help the next Female crew member. Maybe a few updates for one or two of the crew members in the mean time. Maybe Sanji getting a new picture, or Chopper getting a real bounty. Also Usopp might get a real bounty instead of Soge King after admitting in public that he was Soge King. Garp might've heard him.
actually, now that i think of it, is there anything/one the merman island that/who would cause a bounty increase? they ARE just going to the island because of the log pose
POSSIBLY Jinbei (sp?) otherwise, it might be like skypeia where the gov't isn't really involved and no one but the island residents will really know about the hap haps…
ofcourse, if the gov't has dispatched forces against mugiwaras, there is a good possiblity that there will be gov't involvement in the next arc...
(when i posted this the previous two posts weren't posted yet :P)
I say Luffy won't get any update in his bounty while the others will. The next crew member should have a bounty ready too.
Luffy has already 300M on his head. I'm pretty sure there are alot of people with less than that who will still be a little bit of a threat for him, possibly a powerup that isn't known for the WG and therefore not included in his bounty.
I hope people can understand my shitty English. =X
it's impossible to answer this question without knowing what the next arc will be.
I highly doubt it, bounty increases don't happen that often. Also, I don't think we'll see much Marine involvement at Fishman island, it seems somewhat remote.

but it's possible to speculate and make fun predictions… but you're right in that we won't be able to know exactly what happens until it happens....
I think the bounties won't change until they enter the new world because I don't see any really long arcs coming right now. Oda is introducing so much stuff about the New World that I think he'll hurry things up a bit until they finally hit the Redline.
I see two small arcs and a medium sized one. There'll be an arc for the Triangle thing, Merman Island and "the last Island of the Old World" and it'll be about as long as Whiskey Peak, Drumm and Little Garden were. So we'll hit the Redline in something like 60 chapters.
Like I said before… Luffy's shouldn't increase but the others...
The gap between Luffy and the rest is too huge I think
I say at least two more sagas before the next update in bounties should pass…

There bounties will probably raise after beaing shichibukai Jimbei, if he is indeed in the Merman Islan like people guess.
But, since that should be after the Furoian Triangle arc (if things really tun out that way) then yes, two more arcs.

no I mean we don't even know if the mermen island is the next arc or the second next. we don't know if they will fight the gouvernement or pirates or somebody else. we don't have the begining of informations.
I like to discuss things but I need a minimum of informations to do so.
Luffy's bounty will increase but Next arc ? can't answer at all.
You know, it's been a while since they've fought some good-'ol fashioned pirates. The last one was Foxy, and I don' think we want him to be the last actual pirate they fight for a while. And Shickibukai do not count.
Honestly, bounties are meant for a vague idea of how powerful the pirate is. The Straw Hats have over 600m on the head of 8 people, and I don't think they need to be increased any further. Funny how the Straw Hats have not encountered any vicious bounty hunters yet. I was thinking when the Straw Hats enter the New World, the first island they stop by would have ALL, if not most, the bounties listed on some bulletin. This means we can finally stop bickering with each other whether Whitebeard's bounty is in the billions!

That's just a reflection of their ability. Zoro's the only one that comes close to Luffy right now. Robin's power is deadly because the two times she's used it in actual combat (No, Enel does not count), she broke her opponent's spines and killed them. Franky's new, so you can't expect him to be godly yet. And Sanji's just not on the level Luffy and Zoro is, although he is getting stronger.
Well, the next increase should put them at the Emperor's crew levels, right now they seem to be at Shichibukai + crew levels.
Zoro should do something so threating to the government that his bounty surpasses luffy's. That would be a great upset I'd like to see the crews reactions
Like I said before… Luffy's shouldn't increase but the others...

Luffy is the captain afterall. I don't know much about real world pirates, but in OP world at least, the pirate captain typically belongs to a league of his own when it comes to fighting. Hence the big gap has to be there, even if it's between Luffy and Zoro. I see no real need to close this gap.
My youtube video, one-sided sanjixusopp. Listen closely to the lyrics

If anything, the first-mate and captian are usually pretty close in strengh. The reason Luffy has such a high bounty is because he commands all of them.

Are you talking about real world pirates? Ok. But so far I haven't seen any crew in OP whereby the captain and the first mate are close in strength.

Luffy I doubt will get a higher bounty until he beats someone like Doflamingo, who has a higher bounty then him.

We've seen zoro and luffy so far
in the real world, the captain was the symbol of the crew. so others member had the reputation of "being member of x crew". they didn't usually have any "bounty", except if they had done something criminal before entering the crew. well it didn't mattered because being a pirate means Death if caught, even if you were a nameless sailor.
ex : Blackbeard was unknown when he was Hornigold's first mate.
They´ll gonna probably get an bounty update,but as someone already said,we have to wait to see what they´re going to do…
My oppinon is that Luffy's bounty will rise for sure. That is if this forums speculations are right, that hes gonna fight Jimbei. If/when he beats the crap out of Jimbei who one of the schibukai (not sure how to spell that) and he is also the strongest merman in the world, the WG is going to reconsider Luffy's bounty and consider him as a bigger threat that he allready is.. In my point of view the bounty will rise for sure (if he beats Jimbei)
If he does beat Jimbei (or even if he fights Jimbei), then his bounty would definitly rise. I don't think Luffy's bounty is at Yonkou level yet, but comparing it to the Shickibukai, it's almost at their level. Then again, we only know three Shickibukai bounties.

The shichibukai bounties that we have seen have been frozen, so who knows how high they would be at this moment in time.
Well, Oda said that if Crocodile had continued being a pirate, his bounty would be huge.

Exactly so we shouldn't be fooled by doflamingo's 340 million because if he wasn't a shichibukai it may have been up in the 800's.
Bounties aren't necessarily a reflection of threat or ability, just deeds. Ener's bounty wouldn't be 500,000,000 in the Blue Seas for sitting on his arse; given what Raigoh can do, Oda's basically telling us he'd be vaporizing islands left and right. I mean, Buster Call had to go full guns to level Enies Lobby and Ener could have accomplished the same, no, much more with just a little electricity.
As Bellamy said, someone with a 100,000,000 had to have done terrifying stuff in the past to earn such a huge mark; we can assume de Flamingo is the same.
So, looking at what Zoro's accomplished…his bounty is actually inflated more than it should be. Rather than 120,000,000, Zoro should only have 100,000,000 since he didn't really do that much more than Sanji.
I would agree, though, that Sanji has not, nor ever will enter the domain of power that Zoro and Luffy live in. Even if he's gotten stronger, there are physical limitations to his body that anchor him within the realm of "rationality" as far as manga is concerned. His other good "traits" prevent him from amplifying one particular trait (id est, for balancing reasons Sanji's intelligence makes him less powerful than Zoro).
Robin's bounty increase was strange.

Here here. Sanji has gotten stronger but he still isn't enough to reach Zoro and Luffy's calibur of combat. His bounty did rise but Luffy and Zoro were the first to get the highest bounties in the crew back in Arabasta before Robin so that kinda seperates him from those two.
Usopp, hate to say it, but guess the flag burning as well as attacking some high ranking Marines and Spandam, is still a crime, so that's what's worth. But still good to see him wanted, even if it is Sogeking.
But, if they did base the bounties more on fights along with the crime like how it mainly was in Arabasta, Luffy and Zoro's bounties would have been way higher. Or did they also base bounties on fights like in Arabasta?
So, looking at what Zoro's accomplished…his bounty is actually inflated more than it should be. Rather than 120,000,000, Zoro should only have 100,000,000 since he didn't really do that much more than Sanji.
I don't think so…
Zoro maybe wasN't affected in the sea train arc but at the same time he beat T-Bone and in Ennies Lobbie he took the leadership and was once again mistaken as the captain.
Sanji did a great job but nobody know his name but zoro's name was known since East Blue
Well, Zoro also got a bounty added on to his original bounty. And bounties aren't just what you did, it's your power. Zoro got a bounty for beating Mr. 1 not because it was a crime, but because that meant he was very strong.
Robin's increase is maybe because Aokiji said so…. or probably Aokiji had a hand in the report that the he submitted to the higher ups....
Wow, this thread came up fast. Now to spread out the contents over a year or two until we find out who was right and who wasn't.

Zoro got his Bounty because he defeated all the Bounty Hunters in Whiskey Peak, I don't think Mr. 1 had any effect to it since no-one saw the battle between the two of them really.
Well, on Wiki they say the fact that he beat Mr. 1 was part of his bounty.
i think that chopper wpuld gain the highest bounty increase….
it surely woult be more than double
Luffy has the biggest increase so far: 200m
