theres allot of factors that contribute but it basically boils down to there potential threat to the goverment/world its pretty simple really you should pay closer attention to the series your reading
Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread
-
-
Threat to the WG and to innocent civils.
-
I consider threat to civilians to be threat to the world government regardless, because if they don't do anything about the murder of people they're supposed to be protecting it indicates "weakness" or "uncaring" on their part, which could rouse anti-government sentiment. So they have to act, thus it becomes a threat to the World Government. If the pirate continues killing citizens it makes the WG look weak and incompetent for not being able to stop it.
-
How much the WG wants his/her head on a plate.
basically It's how much the WG think it's dangerous for the world safety
-
By the way..marines don
t get the bountys or do they? It
s just for their ego and fame.So the WG actually never has to pay higher bountys because so far we haven`t seen a bounty hunter who was able to catch someone above the 100mille line and normally marines catch those guys anyways.
Hope in the NW bountyhunters will be shown who actually get some of the higher bountys, or else increasing the bounty would make no sense when nobody beside a marine is able to kill them anyway.
-
Do marines who capture pirates with bounites get paid the bounty money? Or is it just a part of the job?
-
@Don:

This is something I've been wondering about for a while as well.
-
you guys are really underestimating Nami -_-
-
The world is small
But i guess they don`t get the full bounty.
Maybe some prozent of it for the good job, but the marine pays them anyway to do that job and with catching higher bountys they can get more and more promoted which should give them also a lot of money. -
They are based on the amount of hype Oda wants to give a character.
-
Thats why he hyped Law with just the 5th highest bountys of all SN.
-
@Rayl:
Even weaker than Nami and Robin ?
Nefra's order seems the closest to me.Why are you underestimating Nami and Robin?
Anyway, Oda said that Usopp will always be the weakest, and so it shall be. -
Like Oda said the story would go for only 5 years..nobody would ever die in OP etc.
I think it
s more to understand that he will never be a part of the monster trio and that he will always be "the normal one" among the others. He may still be the weakest(because the others all are fucking strong with amazing abilitys..just look at Choppers Monster Point) but i wouldn
t say he`s far from Brook right now. -

"good job, now back to work"

zoro was a bounty hunter hes going to be the best swordman in world
franky and his gang where bounty huntersalso before the time skip there were bounty hunters on sa they did both bounty hunting and slave trading (best way to go because if they can sell people for higher than there bounty better to do it that what would you not do it that way if you were a bounty hunter?)
also there was a group of bounty hunters at the island on the grand line strawhats first went to so why not the same for new world?
we also had that anime filler where the bounty hunter family went for luffy and that other filler pirate who had 100 million heads) its not cannon to the story but oda approved it and watchs the anime
well if i was a bounty hunter i would go to sa/fi/first island of grand line or new world because thats where most pirates go thru

I guess most marines who can catch high level bounties are promoted and given underlings, but not the full bounty of the pirate. Think it works the same way in real life, if a solider catches someone who has a bounty placed on his head he won't get paid the full amount, he may receive a percentage but not the total bounty.
-
@Don:

But he said it relatively recently (the one I remember now is the Oda-Tanaka interview in One Piece Treasures, 2007), and stressed it as quite important too. Here's the quote, taken from Greg's translation:
"Oda says there are certain things he wants to keep the same because it will just upset the balance. No matter who joins, he always wants Usopp to be the weakest, he always wants Chopper to believe Usopp's lies. There are just some weaknesses he wants them to carry."
Of course, as you said, and for all we know, Oda might have changed his mind for the New World. I'm just stating the facts. The one thing we should agree on though, is that Usopp will always be a part of the lower tier of the crew.

@looking at you
I wasn
t saying that no BH exist..it
s just that we haven`t seen those so far who are rly going after the big fishes..those bountys over 100mille.well if i was a bounty hunter i would go to sa/fi/first island of grand line or new world because thats where most pirates go thru
I hope the same..would be nice to see a new power like "the 2 BH" which are world famous.
@Pipio
Posted the same and i think we`re with that not far from the truth.:happy: -
Did luffy actually activate 2nd gear on his arm only? Because I thought to activate 2nd gear he'd pump extra blood in his body, if he only did it to his arm, wouldn't the blood flow into the rest of his body?
-
@Rubber:

He certainly activated Gear 2, he said so. It appears he limited to his hand or arm. I guess we won't definitely know until Luffy says so or its explained. As for how it works…make up your own explanation.
-
CoA covers the whole body so it's powers will be nullified, only the arm is in DF mode, thus he can Gear it alone.
It's like Marco's wings-only transformation, the body's covered with CoA but not the arms, so we had winged marco.
Now that i said this i'm thinking about Haki, wasn't the meaning of haki "will" ? If so i can easily imagine the relation between it and the DF, since the user has the Willpower to CONTROL the DF.
-

Yeah I had no doubt he used 2nd gear, I was just curios if he had only used it on his arm, and how. I guess I'll just have to wait for the explanation

It just so happened that boiga had posted an explanation in the chapter thread. I'll bring it here, edited for the main point.
My apologies to all who don't can't appreciate the amount of detail Oda applies when designing the various abilities used in One Piece, but I wanted to chime in regarding the potential partial body Gear 2 mechanism.
…
The "more blood per second" theory works like this: Luffy no longer uses his legs as the pump for Gear 2. If you look at the bottom center panel on page 13 of the chapter, you'll notice two "throb lines" right in front of luffy's chest as he activates the partial gear two without any substantial leg movement. I posit that this shows that luffy is now using the body's natural pump, the heart, as his Gear 2 primer. By expanding and contracting his heart using his gomu gomu abilities, Luffy should be able to enter into Gear 2 much more efficiently than previously. Also, the major arteries that lead to various body parts all lead out from the heart, as can be seen from this picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Circulatory_System_en.svg
So given that the heart is now the pump for Gear 2, the mechanism for partial body Gear 2 should be easy to understand. Luffy gomu pumps his heart leading to greatly increased circulatory blood pressure. He then dilates his left subclavian artery while keeping the other major arteries constricted. This leads to all the increased blood pressure being directed to his left arm, which then returns to the heart along the subclavian vein directly to he heart, creating a closed system pump and allowing for the Gear 2 effect to be localized.
Now I need to find how to link to a particular post…

Thanks for sharing this, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the actual explanation for it, since Oda is just that amazing.

Have been thinking on this one lately,
could somebody tell me if Mr 01 is a Paramecia or Logia? -
Have been thinking on this one lately,
could somebody tell me if Mr 01 is a Paramecia or Logia?If you mean Mr 1… He is Paramecia
-
thnx! I meant mr 1.
i've read a while ago somewhere on AP that they were discussing if zoro used haki to defeat him cuz he's a logia..
so this means zoro didn't use haki in alabasta right? Or is it still possible. -

We have some hints that in the past ome moves maybe were haki influenced as well but we hasn't know about that.
But Mr. 1 is clearly a Paramecia.
-
Then would you say that when luffy defeated Bellamy he used a form of haki? CoO? Cuz he knew exactly when to strike Bellamy when he was charging him.
OR the first time he say BB on Jaya, he corrected nami who asked 'who is He?'. He replied..'not he, but They' ..
makes me wonder.. -

makes me wonder..BNot everything is haki… That was simply cuz Luffy saw his attack coming and owned him with a punch.
It's the same against the CP9... They used Soru and they coudl still react to it. That wasn't haki.
And the BB thing isn't haki as... Dunno where you come up with this and who told you that. They simply understood that this guy is a pirate and probably not alone.
-

Nobody told me actually, have been reading the past arcs again, not necessary to dig up haki parts, but actually because One Piece is Awesome :P, I think you'd agree with me on this hahah.
Uhm You're prolly right though 'bout BB, i just wanted that confirmed, cuz i thought it was either some kind of haki or just a well based Hunch of Luffy that BB is a pirate, and not any ordinary pirate.
-

COA doesn't nullify anything…learn your facts

Dude, your Knowledge of One piece is messed up, try to Read soem information on One Piece Wika, most of it there is Right.

I'm shure you're right, but i kinda find one piece wika a bit boring.. i was hoping the databooks would be translated.. but it was only scanned. (unless i'm mistaking?)

makes me wonder..It's a little thing called pirates intuition

Wiki is shit… Truly each idiot can edit it and some things are based on nothing

Its easy to criticize everything. I agree that because wiki's can be changed by anyone you always need to have a little skepticizm, but its still the best resource short of re-reading the entire manga every time you want to check a fact.

Idle question that occurred to me the other day, and which may have been asked already (but I do not have time to look through nearly 300 pages for it…)
The "Sir" part of Sir Crocoldile's name implies some brush with royalty (in order to acquire the title). I wonder what it could mean, and if it's in any way related to his secret past, as hinted at by Iva-chan.
-

I always figured they were just being respectable didn't really think much of it but it is a thought
-

Why would you assume that, though? There are plenty of folks who deserve titles, in that case, and don't have them. Croc's is written in his name box "Sir Crocodile," so came straight from the horse' mouth, i.e. Oda.
-
I see fair enough then
-
I've personally always thought that Sir in Crocodile's name is not a title but simply part of his name. Especially after Impel Down where he was still introduced as Sir. (Of course it's still a reference to the real honorific as confirmed by Oda in SBS…)
-
Crocodile is actually a world noble?
-
If you are referring to the Celestial Dragons, they are referred to as "Saint" this and that.
-
Had a query related to the pacifistas.
they are made from corpses?or alive people?like cyborgs? -
Kuma half/kinda human.
Rest of pacifistas made of metal. -
@I:

Bastard son of a world noble…and Ivankov...either gender. Or maybe both.
-

-
I always saw them as just purely robots, built to look like Kuma.
-
Pacifistas can't be completely robots because they at least bleed. I wonder if it was explained more specifically somewhere.
