Monkey D. Luffy Was “100M is huge” ever real, or did bounties just go full inflation?
Back in early Grand Line, 100,000,000 felt unreal.
Now we’re drowning in 600M / 800M / 1B like it’s normal.
So… did One Piece’s bounty system change, or did fans just misunderstand it?

Even if the World Government had Japan-level economic power, that still wouldn’t be a big deal.

Big Mom arc power inflation is way too crazy.

There’s apparently a Yonko crew where the 2nd division commander is only worth 500M lol

Smoothie is just a useless bum with a high bounty.
Anonymous Pirate 7
Bragging based on bounty as a commander is kinda lame.

Honestly, if it had been Big Mom instead of Whitebeard at Marineford,
the Marines could’ve been wiped out.

Looks like One Piece finally got swallowed by Jump-style inflation.

After this fight ends, it’ll jump again for sure.
He beat Katakuri, so it’s gotta go higher than that.

He could hit like 700M.

There’s also the “nuisance fee” factor.

Honestly it doesn’t feel that wrong.
In the end it’s just Whitebeard Pirates <<<<<< the candy food fighter army, that’s all.
Anonymous Pirate 26
Whitebeard’s real threat was that without Ace as a hostage,
he could just tsunami you from outside your field of vision and it’d be a bullshit game.
But since he doesn’t do that, his bounty stays low.
Anonymous Pirate 27
Whitebeard Pirates didn’t really cause civilian damage for no reason.

Only Urouge and Bonney are still at their pre–timeskip bounties.
Anonymous Pirate 32
After beating 600M Snack,
Urouge escaped alive from 860M Cracker.
Anonymous Pirate 33
That’s because Urouge doesn’t go around killing people pointlessly.
Anonymous Pirate 35
Why did Crocodile even become a Shichibukai?
Anonymous Pirate 41
>>35
Probably charisma? Baroque Works had like 2000 people, right?
Getting that many under you is rare among pirates.
He probably wasn’t like that when he first joined, though.
Buggy’s the same deal.
Anonymous Pirate 48
>>41
If you think about it that way, Usopp at 200M makes sense.
He led pirates and smashed a Shichibukai’s long-term master plan.
Anonymous Pirate 36
Robin, who’s basically the key to world collapse via Poneglyphs <<<<< Usopp
Anonymous Pirate 90

Wasn’t there a setting where they deliberately keep Robin’s bounty low,
because raising it too much would expose the World Government’s secrets?
Anonymous Pirate 92

Even 77M on a human child was already too much, tbh…

They inflated Big Mom’s commanders way too much.
If only Katakuri was crazy high, I’d get it.

Calmly thinking about it, Mr. 3 almost took down bounty heads totaling 200M.
That’s actually pretty impressive.

Wait, Buggy isn’t here.
I feel like Buggy had a pretty high one too.

Once you join the Shichibukai, your bounty gets removed.

Bounties are decided by damage caused,
so guys like Luffy who don’t hurt civilians don’t grow much.
Even though he’s rubber.
Anonymous Pirate 76

He’s literally picking fights with the World Government though?

But he’s constantly defying the government.
Beating their Shichibukai dogs, freeing prisoners,
punching Celestial Dragons…

Even if you accidentally added “danger of actions” and raw strength together,
it’s still too high.
Anonymous Pirate 105
There’s probably a Yonko brand bonus.
If it’s a radical Yonko, just being in their crew makes your bounty jump.
That’s why calmer crews like Whitebeard’s stay lower.
Anonymous Pirate 75
Are there really people who still think bounty = strength?
It’s been said a million times that it’s not just that.
Anonymous Pirate 77
>>75
It’s danger to the government, right?
Anonymous Pirate 85
>>77
Yeah. That’s why Robin had 77M as a kid even though she wasn’t strong.
👉Why Japan argues like this
Japanese boards love treating “numbers” as storytelling evidence, then instantly turning around and calling it “inflation” when the vibe changes.
So you get this constant tug-of-war: bounty as power level vs bounty as threat rating.
And the salt gets extra spicy because early One Piece trained everyone to fear “100M” like it was endgame.
👉“It’s Not About Strength — It’s About What Bounties Are Allowed to Mean”
This thread isn’t really about “who’s strong.”
It’s about what bounties are allowed to mean without breaking the reader’s sense of scale.
Big Mom’s crew numbers hit, and people either accept the new era… or start coping with “it’s just threat level bro” the second it feels off.
