Guess Whitebeard's Bounty

[hollowfied]

What probably happened was that after the chaos of Gol D Roger's death, thousands of pirates took to the seas. Some of the stronger ones survived the first part of the Grand line (in fact some of them probably started off there), and arrived in the New World. There are probably natural creatures and phenomenan (however you spell that) that are strong enough to keep the average pirate away from the New World. Eventually, 4 main pirate crews arose above the others, either destroyed or assimilated all the other pirates and grew in strength until they became incredibly powerful. And so the WG decided to give them the nickname of Yonkou. Because they were so powerful, the WG themselves were not able to keep them in check, whilst capturing other pirates and battling revolutionaries as well as keeping the law in the four seas, and so they formed the Shichibukai to help them.

Absolutio - good to be back. Sad to see Impel Down still banned though. =(

Check out my thread Three Powers. =)

I would think WB would have to be at least 1 Billion if not two billion. Considering how legendary he is in the world of One Piece, Oda would have to give him an impressive bounty, if not one the highest bounties in the whole manga.

[Franckie]

WB is considered the strongest man in existance right now, yet bounties are not actually an indication of strength, but an indication of danger to the WG. Whatever bounty WB possesses will be eclipsed by Dragon's bounty. Still, I'd say WB's bounty is at least 750, 000, 000 berries considering his current position and influence.

[Absolutio]

I doubt that he has something "low" as 750m, he's the strongest pirate in the world, and does make a threat to the WG, being one of the yonkous, 4 pirate crews which have actually power equal to that of the WG's, and that's without them being allied. He then should have a much higer bounty.

[Organizized]

Well, I doubt that Dragon would have any more than a 2b bounty, so Whitebeard should be around 1.5-1.8 billion I think.

[hollowfied]

Around 2-3 billion belli for WB, considering his strength and threat to the WG.

Shanks will have around 750 mil, as the 5 Elderly Stars themselves stated that Shanks was not the type of guy to start a confrontation for no reason, and would not start something by himself. Despite the fact that his strength level is probably at WB's level, his bounty would be a lot lower.

Dragon I don't know definitely more then 3 billion, as it was stated that he was the most wanted man in teh world.

Other 2 yonkou would be around 1 - 3 bil belli IMO.

[KyleUchiha]

You know, I'm curious if bounties ever get lowered? Lets say Mihawk lost an arm, would his bounty get lowered? Or would it stay the same even though he wouldn't be as strong or as much of a threat it?

I bring that up, because I wonder if WB's would eventually become less as he got older and less of a threat? Or does that bounty stick with you for life?

[Absolutio]

That's a good point you have there.. But I doubt that in WB's case, it got lowered. He still is the most powerful pirate.

i think whitebeard bounty will be around 400,000,000 to 500,000,000.

why??

i read once that whitebeard has 16 commander under his control. if each of them has bounty on their head (lets assume they have average of 100,000,000 per head), then the total bounty of whitebeard pirates is 2,000,000,000 beli.

it safe to assume that all the yonkou has total bounty exceed 1,000,000,000 beli. i doubt luffy will beat whitebeard(since the sichibuckai will do it for incresing blackbeard reputation) or redhair pirates(he was luffy's idol), so the strawhat pirates will need to kiss one of the other two yonkou ass themself(and it will happen).

[Akainu]

100 million is imo a very low estimation considering WB and crew said they never even heard of rockstar who had a bounty of 94 million

[Raysen_ht]

I agree with Akainu!! maybe the 15/16 divisions commander could be around 150 mill, but the majorite of them sjould be +300 mill

About WB, i think his bouty is something like
1.5 Bill + u get a kingdom or a high position in the WG, and all ur family get nobility status!!

[Shiro-kun]

Supernova's have average bounty of 200 million(108million-315million)

Shichibukai introduced so far have a average former bounty of 300 million (whether or not we include Crocodile or his replacement Blackbeard) and because we have no knowledge of the others (Mihawk , Jimbie and Mr/Mrs.Enigma) it could be in a averge range of 300million to 400million beli

Perhaps Yonkou is a step higher with a average bounty is about 500million-700million+ beli and such because Whitebeard is regarded as the most powerful pirate i expect to be around that range or higher(700million beli - 1 billion beli).

[bakura_revenge]

you guys are giving whitebeard ridiculous amount of bounty.

oda once mention that if enel was a pirate, he will have 500,000,000 bounty on his head(we can see oda put quite reasonable amount here, he can put twice if he want). considering enel is almost unbeatable himself, how can whitebeard possess twice or more value compared to enel. not to mention whitebeard is no longer well old man, always taking medicine and seem likely not devil fruit user?

garp mention that whitebeard is already one of the four emperor on the new world. it no matter if he was equal with "pirate king" in the past, but since moria was once fought equally with kaidou(another yonkou) and given bounty 320,000,000 beli, so kaidou possibly possess just around 300,000,000 to 500,000,000 beli. it might be a case he was already been sichibuckai before the fight, but i don't think government will brag to the world that their ally's being defeated(see strawhat case).

it not like whitebeard like to ambush wg property every time(dragon and luffy are). since he already rule the new world separately with the other three, why he ambush wg. it be better if he attack the other yonkou, so he can become pk himself.

what i see the whitebeard's rule so far are killing nakama was same as broking the iron rule, and will be chased by it commander(ace and teach). The rule that make whitebeard has great and fearsome reputation. another rule was whoever found df has the right to eat it, the reason why teach fled whitebeard ship. if the 4th commander(4got his name) was the one who eat the yomi yomi fruit, would he be stronger than whitebeard himself? it just the matter of loyalty put them together on the same ship.

moreover, bounty does not shows the strength, it just show their threat to the wg. we see strawhat cases(usop has higher bounty than nami and chopper, but he definitely the weakest member of the team, even oda said so, not to mention Sanji and Duval cases). i see the logic if dragon has the crazy amount of bounty, since he is the revolutionary. in strawhat cases, each of them ambush enies lobby, something has never been done by the other pirate before, so it reasonable 4 each member of the crew to has a bounty. but some commander on whitebeard may possess high amount of bounty and some may not have bounty at all. in whitebeard cases, he already been pirate since gold roger's time, yet he has young commander, such as ace. the previous commander probably has been replaced. we even see four dominant commander on whitebeard's ship. and (spoiler=dont read this if you don't wanna see anime spoiler)i doubt all 16 commander will be shown arround to be beat by sichibuckai and wg.

so i stick to my 1st opinion, whitebeard bounty will definitely around 400,000,000 to 500,000,000.

[sharingan_kakashi]

Like someone here stated before I dont think WB has a bounty. Why put a bounty on someone whom you cannot capture.
But, he must have a "former bounty" before he became too powerful/exalted to be captured. I am guessing 700 M to 900 M.

Marco would be around 350 M ( just because i have never seen a bounty near 400s M)

Before Doflamingo and Kuma became shichibukais their bounties arent that high. And as far as i know its They have the highest bounties (untill Luffy and Kidd)

[Akainu]

I don't know if that line is in the manga too, but in the anime some pirates in mocktown said that they have never seen a bounty of 100M so you kinda get the idea, that it always depends on where you are and what you can imagine. before GL Luffy only had 30M and GL was said to be full of stronger people. now he has 300M and the new world is said to be full of ridiculous strong people stronger then supernovae so the same amount of bounty for them would be a bit ... lame? I think if they have bounties at all (perhaps it's just limited to their dead corpse) these are going to be damn high.

Add to that, that it was no problem for Chalros to pay 500M for a bit fun in his fishtank and he is just a descendant of the WG founders. Now the actual WG - like any government - is in control of all the finances and thus literally could print money, so if they'd want or have to rise bounties this high it wouldn't be that big of a problem (there aren't even any real/known competing systems or entities that would cause trade problems except perhaps dragon, but little do we know...)
