Feel free to post a link where it says he does and we could stop wasting time in this discussion.
Just because his bounty hasn't been mentioned doesn't mean he doesn't have one. WB's bounty hasn't been mentioned either..does that mean he doesn't have one?
Like I said, there is a huge difference between Ace and WB. WB is the leader of the strongest pirate crew, while Ace is just crew member with a high position, which is why he is famous (not saying that is the only reason!). The captain takes responsible for what the crew does and he is the one who will be noticed by the WG/Marine not some1 in his crew.
Give me one example of that please.
Don't rly have one, otherwise I would have posted it earlier.
I was just comparing the pirate world with the underworld in our world. There are guys who are given nicknames among the underworld which makes them famous, but don't have to be searched by the government.
Now in OP: the seaport in Jaya is more likely a pirate city. Guys who will go there on rampage will have probably some kind of nickname among pirates....just a example how "nicknames" could also work.
He is the 2nd Division Captain in the World's strongest crew. I think that warrants some recognition and a bounty. BEING a pirate is a crime against the WG. Joining WB's crew..wow that would really warrant a bounty wouldn't it? Consider the fact that Rockstar, a rookie in Shanks' crew (a crew which is considered less powerful then WG's), has a bounty of 90 mil and you should understand Ace's power and fame.
By joining WB and also by given a high position in his crew warrants him only a famous name. Not a bounty!or are u saying every member of his crew poses a bounty, even the cannon fodder who fell down under Shanks haki? Bounty will given guys who causes damage to the WG and who are considered as a threat. Like I said, we don't know what he did before and after he joined WB.
Rockstar was a new member and as far as I understood, he had a bounty before joining Shanks. That is completely different from Ace, again: there are things unknown about his actions in the grand line.
It was also mentioned that BB was only looking for pirates with bounties OVER 100 mil after the Jaya arc to gain some recognition from the WG. I doubt he'd hand Ace over to the WG if his bounty was any less.
BB only wanted to beat some1 to proof his strength and worth of becoming a new Shichi. Guys with a bounty of 100M+ are considered strong..
Ace was known as the commander of the 2nd division of WB. The WG as a enemy of WB, who are fighting each other for a long time would have known, that WB only gives strong member a high position. By beating him should be enough to proof his own strength. -> BB becomes a Shichi.
Most of the well known pirates have bounties, most of them of huge amounts.
Well, yes "most". So I still believe there is a possibility that he don't poses a bounty, since we don't know his actions in the grand line (How die he joined WB? What did he do while serving under WB?). So I will still go with 0-299.
All in all, Im pretty sure u didn't read my posts.
Anyway, my post sounds completely childish and u brought up pretty good point (nicknames) and Im thinking more like that he had a bounty. But I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't had one. So I will go with 0-299$
Just a scenario and a example of his bounty being 0: Ace happens to find a devil fruit and eats it without thinking. Later he meets by coincidence WB early in the grand line. He is pretty much impressed by him and joins his crew. As he proofs his strength he is given a high position. Since the Yonkou and the WG are in truce, Ace wasn't able to get a bounty. 3 Years later he gets caught and dies, Happy End.
If not, than I guess it would cool if Oda briefly touches on the subject in a future databook maybe? or SBS?
