You guys act like the highest bounty we've seen is 340 million, but that's been frozen for maybe 10-20 years. I mean, Doflamingo, if just a normal pirate, he would have a much higher one. I wouldn't be suprised if s billion wasn't uncommon in the New World. We jumped from 20 million to 100 million, the to 340 million in an instance, I wouldn't doubt if we saw something so outragous as a billion.
The Crew's Bounty
-
-
Well, now that the public knows that Dragon is Luffy's father, they have a reason to higher his bounty.
Also Luffy broke into Impel Down, was in the war with Whitebeard, punched a Tenryuubito, and he has the potential to use Haki. -
If the rest of the strawhats havent done anything notoryous on their respective adventures, I think that Luffys bounty isnt increasing from the moment.I mean the other times his bounty was increased he managedthe imposible (Defeating a SHichibukai, and defeating the most vicious CP9 agent of history). What has he done superoutrageous after that,that the government is aware of?
He defeated Moria, But he barely defeated him and he did it with a lot of help, and they know that werent for Kumas strange attitude (That is no longer hapening again) Luffy would be dead. Then he hited a Tenryuubito on shabaody…And they sent an admiral to him. And he couldnt even touch Sentoumaru, Kizarus subordinate. Werent for Kuma again, they know he would be done. Then Impel Down, where he...Yeah, was defeated by Magellan and imprisoned, escaping after that with the help of lots of other guys (And they were lucky). He went to the war, but he dindt do shit. He couldnt save Ace in the end, he was superpowned, and he barely survived because of the help of...Well, the entire pirate fleet and even some marines like Koby.The most notoryous thing he did was to reveal his Haoshoku.
I know things arent exactly like i have wrote, but you understand my purpose, it isnt enough for an increase. We will have to wait until the next arc in which all the strawhats have uberfights, like in Arlong Park, Alabasta, and Enies Lobby.
And I think that Luffys next bounty will be of 600-700 millions. -
i know there's not really a clearly discernible pattern in luffys bounty increase but usually seems to be that every time they meet smeone with a higher bounty, not long after, his will trump it. so it'll probbly be higher then any of the ones seen so far, but possbly not a full billion
-
i just want a buggy bounty increase :D
-
Luffy is mischeivous and unfortunate problem for the marines right so….
666,666,666
-
i just want a buggy bounty increase :D
Haha you can see this happening. He will be remembered for Impel Down and for the huge WB vs WG scrap and helping Luffy escape. Plus now he has a huge crew that are pretty tough (and probably have larger bounty's than his) He will get a huge Bounty increase. Cant wait to see what it'l be!!

I don't think Luffy's bounty's going to increase terribly. Maybe like to 450, but that's the highest I see it going. I mean he did do a lot, and being revealed to the world to be Dragon's son is major, but it's just a matter of currently the highest bounty was 340, and I don't see them all of a sudden shooting Luffy up into the 600s.
I'm really excited to see Buggy's bounty though. That's gonna skyrocket.

.
See im not sure on this. It'l go up, but I think it will be by quite a chunk. Him being Dragons son is massive. His being Aces brother is huge. The fact that he was part of the attack/rescue mission against the WG is intense, he is one of the Supernovas, he has caused a wreck in Impel Down - broke in and out, Which no-ones done before. Plus WB said to keep him alive because he is the 'future'. I think the Marines are really gonna take him seriously.
-
I just re-read the whole manga and now I realize that Luffy's bounty probably is going to shoot up ridiculously (unless the world government decides to hide all the facts but they won't be able to do so entirely at this point). Let's look at his feats since Enies Lobby:
- Defeated Gekko Moria
- Punched a Tenryuubito
- Inflitrated Impel Down
- Revealed as son of Dragon
- Has King's Haki
We already know defeating a warlord is a really big deal. It's a really big deal whenever a Tenryuubito is even touched so for Luffy to full out punch one is really, really big (in fact, I wouldn't doubt it if Kid and Law got their bounties increased as well by affiliation). He infiltrated Impel Down and broke out no less than 241 prisoners, among them being a couple of level sixers (in this instance, Buggy and Blackbeard's bounties should increase as well; Buggy for his hand in the break-out and Blackbeard for releasing level six prisoners). He's Dragon's son (which was as shocking a revelation as Ace being the Pirate King's son) and this is obviously a big deal. And finally, he has king's haki. At first glance, having that brand of haki doesn't seem all that note-worthy but when you take into account everyone's reactions (especially those of the big names and their comments on the fact) you realize that it actually is quite the big deal.
So I expect Luffy's bounty to shoot up to a pretty ridiculous level when he gets his bounty increase. I also expect Kid, Law, Buggy, and Blackbeard's bounties to increase as well. It was even stated at Marineford that none of the marines are to treat Luffy as a rookie but instead as a serious threat just as any other that must be eliminated.
-
anyone know if his punch on garp was on the video feed to the world? i know the announcement about dragon being his dad was. Anyway i think it'll be around 500k big enough increase to point out he's the most troublesome rookie and at a rank of a New World captain but still low enough for improvement in the new world
-
I suppose, it's just using bounty as a basis for strength I don't think Luffy is above every other character we've come across thus far. His potential is the problem, so I suppose they may want a massive bounty so more people would try to defeat him or capture him. Once we get to the new world I'm sure there'll be another massive spike in bounties, with 400k being kinda minimal. It's just that if Luffy gets a bounty of 600k, he still won't probably be as strong as some of the New World Pirates with bounties significantly lower than 600. It's just whether they base it off of his potential to be great, or his strength at the moment.

The feed was frozen then. It didn't get back until later when Ace had been killed.

I actually kind of like it when Luffy fights a formidable opponent with a much lower bounty, though (see Luffy vs Foxy).

@Uncle:

Me to. Lets me escape the boring boundaries of rookie against bigtimer who he can beat because he has heart:getlost:. I actually like it best when he fights people with a similar bounty of his own like Moria. I wouldn't mind if he got a 500kk bounty and went around fighting people within the range of the supernovas. People take bounties to serious it's not like a fight between him and capone or apoo would be boring just becuase they have a smaller bounties.

Not to mention the fact that the marines can't deny him as a threat any longer seeing as the battle was broadcasted live for millions to see
-
I don't think they will raise Luffy's bounty… The officer at marineford said to Sengoku that the WG would keep the incident at Impel Down as a secret. I think they're not going to raise Luffy's bounty because of this.
PS. My english sucks so if anyone doesn't understand what I just said, then shame on me...
-

They're only covering up the escaped prisoners. Since people don't know that Luffy was ever in Impel Down, he can get a higher bounty without revealing anything about the incident.
-
It's not just the marines and world government that issue bounties. Other people (in this case, the tenryuubito) could also raise his bounty and the world nobles are more than likely to do so (for Law and Kid as well).
-
The fact that the Govt. are covering up the whole ID escapade is actually irrelevant to Luffy's bounty increase. Remember Alabasta? After defeating Crocodile, Luffy tripled his bounty (from 30 to 100 mil), but the official news is that Croc was defeated by Smoker. The Govt. don't really have to explained the reason for the bounty increase.
And speaking of increase, the current "trend" is that Luffy always gets 3 times increase from his current bounty. 30 to 100 mil (I suppose Oda just wanted to round up the numbers), and 100 to 300 mil. So if the "trend" continues, his next bounty could be 900 mil
-
no, cus we can asssume that this is not gonna be the last time his bounty increases, and we know that even after this, he's not gonna be anywhere near the top level bounties(WB, shanks, dragon), so if he goes up near a billion now, then everyone elses bounties would be ridiculas.
remember pack in the arlong park arc when 100 mill was alot of money(enough to buy a villiage),
i think maybe around 500 - 600 mill would be the highest it'll go for now. and even that wil trump every known bounty so far.
i agree, buggys bounty shouldf shoot up!!!
-
I personally think bounty is beneficial to the story and is crucial to see how SH's Pirate grow. Come on now, If they took away the bounties, where is the fun? No person right of mind would call the WG about a pirate without a price. Money motivate people to do so. Proven even in real life. Lets end it at that.
People who say the WG know where SH are is BS. They might know the where Top Tier Honcho like Shank, WB, etc. Due to their territorial location they owned. For SH they are alway travelling and bounties bring their information to the WG. Unless they start a fight or something big and cause WG official to come down to the area. In no way do they know the SH whereabout. (Another reason why bounties do wonder for the WG)
How many marines do the WG have? MILLION… EVEN in BILLION!! probably. How much do you think they get paid? Do you think one billion is far fetch? I think Luffy will get 1,000,000,000 Beli. My guess for Shank and Dragon would be in the hundred billion.
For those that are relating this to DBZ power up... its like comparing apple and oranges. DBZ use power strength. OP use money. Money are easily made and obtainable in any amount and still be realistic. Remember this is WORLD GOVERNMENT, AKA the whole WORLD!!!! Together they should have hundred of TRILLION of Beli. We are not talking about one island or country government official.
I also think all the Shiki's are undervalue because of their government involvement and show their bounties can not be increased. Why would government work with someone that has the top 10 bounties? So their bounty is lowered or kept still without any increases. Also hold true that they are not doing anything threatening to the WG and they also have the WG approval for doing whatever they feel like. Making Luffy's bounty seem higher only because the Shiki can't do anything to increase their bounty.
-
luffy bountry will be zero well, we know how the goverment "higher up" like to hush things up to preserve the marine dignity.
Luffy bounty will be neutralized. the world will think that he is dead, and he will be staying quite for a while until his crew regroups.
and then there will be a big showdown of "Luffy is actually alive" stuff.
-
I personally think in the next few chapters, Luffy's bounty will shoot WAY up. I think it is very possible for it to go up to a billion after everything that's happened. Also, Dragon being his father will make it even worse.

I wouldn't be too surprised if this happened either. Luffy was just in a war. It's the perfect time for them to say he is dead.
-
Personally, I agree with the bounty either being the same or none at all, just because they want it to be hush hush.
I could be an ass and say that they will offer him a seat in the Shibukai.
Or Since Whitebeard is dead, have him become a Yonkou.
Or however you spell that. -

I like this idea. It will be epic when they figure out Luffy is still alive and stronger then ever.
-
There's no reason for the marines/WG to think Luffy is dead. Also if they're trying to keep things hush or trick the ppl putting his bounty at zero would only backfire on them. They don't know Luffy's status or how quickly he'll recover and cause a ruckus again.
They have no proof to act like he's dead.

but there is all the more reason to report to the world that he is dead.
Imagine the newspaper saying
'Whitebeard, The son of gol d. Roger and the Son of dragon killed by the marine forces.' -
That would be indeed be good publicity for the World Governant, but they are also aware that Luffy (however critically injured) is alive and in the hands of the Supernova "Surgeon of Death" who is a doctor. If they announced that they killed Luffy at Marinford and he (after he has recovered) make noise of himself in his usual manner the world will know WG's false claim and it'll end up hurting their credability.
I don't think the World Governant nor the Marines will claim that Luffy is dead, nor will they ignore his bounty. They want him dead and gone, and putting an higher bounty on his head will make people notice him and either try to claim it themselves (i.e. the bounty hunters at SA) or send word to the marines (so they can send Akainu to finish where he left at). Not to mention that the Tenryūbito is likely to press for a bounty increase, and if the Marines/WG wont do it, they are likely to put a bounty on him themselves (and they would be very displeased if the WG claimed to have killed him and later Luffy shows up alive…).
The World Governant might hush the Impel Down incident (unless Sengoku pulls his strings and have it his way) but Luffy has done more than that to warrant a bounty increase; punching a Tenryūbito, his actions at Marinford in the war, revealed to be Dragon's son and having King's Haki. The Marines (and WG) view him as a big threat, they likely see his possession of King's Haki as a sign that he has the potential to become another Whitebeard/Shanks/Roger/Dragon and they would want him truly dead and gone before he can reach that position.
-
I like thinking WG will consider Luffy as dead, but their not fools. Plus on warrant poster it's "dead or alive". I won't be surprise if newspapers read "We have intel that Monkey D. Luffy may be dead. Given his past, xxxx bery bounty for his corpse."
-
I think Luffys bounty will go below zero….so you actually have to pay money when you catch him
-
but there is all the more reason to report to the world that he is dead.
Imagine the newspaper saying
'Whitebeard, The son of gol d. Roger and the Son of dragon killed by the marine forces.'What would be the point of doing that just so they could be proved wrong and be seen as liars later?
Plus in this last chapter the newspapers were already sent out and it definitely didn't say anything about Luffy dying.
The Gorousei are all about keeping their image so if they say Luffy's dead and he's obviously not it'll just make them look like failures for Luffy fooling them in to thinking they did.
-
Participating in the war against Marine HQ & the Tenryubito incident, both of which were reported and everyone knows.
-
While I like the idea of the WG to pretend Luffy died, it's not likely.
Think about what Luffy has done since Enies Lobby:
Tore Gecko Moria a new asshole
Punch a Tenryubito
Destroy a Pacifista (hey, those don't come cheap)
Narrowly evade an admiral (I'm sure that counts for something)
Break into the impenetrable prison
Incite a gigantic prison riot
Break out of Impel Down with alot of prisoners, including Level 6 and revolutionaries
Participated in the great war on the side of Whitebeard
Revealed to the whole world as Dragon's son
Revealed to have King's HakiTrust me, Luffy's bounty will skyrocket. If not now, very soon. The WG can't possibly cover him up.
-
I wonder, can Luffy have a bounty downgrade someday?
Just to fit this line of hardships of his.
-
but there is all the more reason to report to the world that he is dead.
Imagine the newspaper saying
'Whitebeard, The son of gol d. Roger and the Son of dragon killed by the marine forces.'hmmm, noooo, everybody sees that BB and co deliver the last blow and that counts as kills him

+humiliated Sengoku by successfully blocking his almighty Buddha's fist.
- beat Hancock in one move! (well, the marines think so)
-
in the last chapter chopper read the newspaper and say: <<luffy?why again!!!="">>
It looks like he read something about luffy and his reaction was of surprise…maybe there is out the nuw luffy bounty?</luffy?why> -
If the reaction of Chopper is really about the bounty, than I'd say: 1 mil.
-
I don't want Luffy to have a freaking new bounty.
It would ruin the meaning of Supernovas(Kid).
-
Wanted prices usually come as separate Posters. The Chopper sequence shows him looking at a news page.
Something is seen being ripped out of the paper when he's flapping it around, but then he once again looks at the paper itself. Had there been a poster, it would've been sent flying there too. That is, if Oda pays attention to such details, but I don't think he would've drawn a ripped out page otherwise.
So I don't think it's a new Wanted Poster yet.
-
Take that, Eustass Kid.
-
A billion.
Let's take a look at what he's done since his last bounty jump:
-Beaten a Shichibukai (Moria)
-Escaped another Shichibukai at Thriller Bark (Kuma)
-Punched a Noble
-Escaped Kizaru, Kuma, Sentoumaru and multiple Pacifistas
-Broke into Impel Down, for the second time ever (or first?)
-Escaped Impel Down, releasing a ton of wanted prisoners
-Freed Ace from the scaffolding
-Announced as the son of Dragon
-Escaped the war
-Guarded by big players like Ace, WB and Jinbei
-Has King's HakiAnd those are just the big events
If it isn't a billion, I'm truly going to be shocked.
I also expect bounty increases for many of the people Luffy sided with: Buggy, Jinbei, Crocodile, and perhaps even Mr. 3 (he helped free Ace) and Mr. 1 (for the mere sake that he's free again). And Blackbeard, prior to the war, had a 0 bounty; I'm expecting at the very least, 500 mil for his first one. He killed Whitebeard, betrayed the World Government, has the Earthquake fruit, beat Ace, and is strong enough to warrant a following from some of the most dangerous criminals in the world.
Also, if Luffy really does get a billion bounty, I'm expecting Dragon's, the most wanted man in the WHOLE WORLD, to be 30-50 billion.
-
What is the point of bounty anymore? There is no strong enough bounty hunter to go after them anyway. Then just label them "Very Dangerous Criminal, Kill on Sight" or something. Bounty no longer has any meaning in this manga. Unless there is really strong bounty hunter in the New World.
-
I still say 800,000,000+
-
I remember I wasn't sold on a billion but I think that's what it'll be now.
-
Nah, it'll be around 700. Not too high, but not too low either.

I think the bounty are not just for the bounty hunter…they need also to show how powerful a pirate his respect other pirate....
for example the 11 supernovas without their bounties are meaningless pirates.. the bounty create a mistery around them: what they dit to have different value? -
My opinion hasn't changed. The bounty will rise, but not skyrocket to the upper millions or a billion. What's the point of a huge bounty if there's no one to compare it to?
Luffy will probably get the highest bounty in the first half of the Grand Line, which will be between 400 and 500 million, maybe 600 million tops. Then we reach the New World and find out that there are pirates worth even more there. I think 1 billion is reserved for the near end of the series.
