EDIT::: Just realized that the other two 'weakling trio' have gotten HUGE ups in the last two arcs. Out of Ussop, Nami, and Chopper, one got extraordinary CoO, one stole a yonkou's big gun, and Chopper...? He's the epitome of a beast pirate. He has to have more presence than what he's had for hundreds of chapters.
The last time the entire crew get a bounty upgrade at once was Dressrosa, and that was just the climax of their establishing story in the New World. Wano seems to be their coming of age story in the New World, and the crew is finally reunited (well, in the same territory so far anyways). And given Oda's hype that Wano will dwarf Marineford, the fallout from this event is probably going to be cra-mazing and skyrocket the crew's bounties. Let's look:
Luffy - almost certainly will participate in the downfall of Kaidou (and BM, depending on what happens)
Zoro - contender for greatest swordsman in the world who will almost certainly clash with Wano's top swordsmen
Nami - a cat burglar becoming a ninja who stole one of a yonkou's top weapons
Ussop - doesn't need upgrade unless he has a significant performance; lmfao his poster already calls him 'god'
Sanji - i do see his going up; wano has had a BIG emphasis on food, starvation, toxic ingredients, etc. so far
Chopper - i foresee the greatest increase by far; this is an arc of zoan monsters, and chopper is the group's zoan monster
Robin - with chopper, i see the greatest increase here; she's integral to the plot to take down wano's shogun
Franky - with all the seastone lore being dropped left and right, we all expect him to upgrade to seastone engineer
Brook - soul king did work at WCI; I fully expect him to do similar work in Wano but it doesn't seem like it so far
Jinbei - idc about bounty, guy just better be alive; aside: i've been calling it for several years now: we're getting peg leg jinbei
Slight problem with WG reporting on this: I'm not sure if Absalom was just working as photographer or also spy, but it'd be interesting if there was a delay in bounty reporting because there is no longer an Absalom to give the scoop to Morgans and by proxy the WG. Wonder if Stussy and or other CP0 members will show up. It seems negligent of the WG if they don't.
