Aren't One Piece's Bounties just glorified power levels?>"B-but it doesn't account just combat aptitude!"Then why have it updated every time Luffy magically gets stronger at the end of every arc?Bleach and Jujutsu Kaisen never had powerlevel systems btw.
>>287611835Yeah, I found it really cool how the weakest JJK character just owned the strongest JJK character just because he was weak to her technique
>>287611835They are but Usopps isn't relevant to his power at all
>>287611835>Then why have it updated every time Luffy magically gets stronger at the end of every arc?It hasn't.Also, you acknowledged yourself that it isn't "just" combat aptitude. Getting stronger obviously can increase a bounty but plenty of shitters have been showing with bounties in the high xx to xxx millions while being weaker than characters with lower bounties.
>>287611835Bounty is related to how dangerous something is to the World Government, that’s why Law’s Devil Fruit had a bounty of 5 billion. The fruit itself doesn’t have a powerlevel of 5 billion, but it is worth that much in potential destruction of the WG. Also bounties do suffer from inflation over time, such as when Dory and Brogy “returned from the dead” (to the WG af least), they are not static. Of course Luffy’s bounty is going to increase constantly, but it doesn’t do so at the start/end of every arc. Nice strawman arguments though, JJKtranny.
>>287612068That's just a Hercule moment where people think a weak character is strong.
The bounties don't actually do anything except tell you how much of a badass a character is once they're introduced, it's not like bounty hunters are a real thing
>>287612698Zoro had a lower bounty than Pekoms even after Dressrosa.Blood-Spatterer Coribou (the shovel brother) has a bounty of 190m
>>287611835Yeah you're right. I guess that means Buggy is one of the strongest characters in the series. They're just notoriety. Their bounties can go up a lot if the government thinks they're a big threat (Buggy) or they can be covered up and not move at all if the government doesn't want to make something public. There were no bounty updates after Thriller Bark. There were also no bounty updates after Sky Island because the government didn't know about those events.
>>287611835>Then why have it updated every time Luffy magically gets stronger at the end of every arc?Because he does something more dangerous or infamous every time retard-san. Beating Enel did not magic up his bounty because nobody in the WG knew he did that.
>>287611835Doriki
>>287611835no shit, one piece is generic shonenslop
>>287611835>Usopp>Chopper
>>287615218Also Buggy.
>>287614784>genericLiterally uncopyable in style, only anime that had ever attempted was Fairy Tail which Fairy Failed hard. Nice bait, i rate it an 8 since i ate.
>>287616689>uncopyablekek'd. Ragna Crimson is a copy of OP.
>>287611835>Then why have it updated every time Luffy magically gets stronger at the end of every arc?The primary quantification for your bounty IS measured by strength and they up it for Luffy mainly because of the opponent he is capable of beating. They don't want to send some fool bounty hunter to their death for a guy that can take out warlords and emperors. BUT they also take into account the severity of your crimes. His first bounty was probably so "high" because they considered it an affront that he made the Straw Hat a part of his identity. On top of that, he is aiding and abetting Nico Robin, he took a large portion of the blame for staging one of the biggest jailbreaks of all time, laying down the smack on one of the royals, attempted interruption of Ace's execution, and has assaulted numerous members of the military and world government.
It's -mostly- powerlevels, but with a spin.If some guy comes along with some crazy high bounty? He's probably pretty fucking strong, but he might just be decently strong with some reason the WG wants his head.
>>287611835They're wrong
>>287611835bounty scaling feels forced and more like fanservice than anythingIts worse when you go back in time and watch the early arcs and everyone shits their pants over a guy who only has 7 zeros to their name. The scaling actually was not that bad until after Wholecake when it started going off the rails just for hypebeast reasons
>>287611835Faggot
>>287621206>t.
imagine reading the material before making comments about it
>>287612107>Bounty is related to how dangerous something is to the World GovernmentSo power levels. With a few notable exceptions, but nonetheless. Jack didn't get his 1 billion because he could read Poneglyphs or whatever, it was because he's strong.
>>287622086Buggy is weak as fuck and has a huge ass bounty, basically you are retarded.
>>287621206>Robin and Saul reunion in Elbaf>flashback shows a bit more about her time as a fugitiveIt's amazing how as a little girl Robin was the most feared criminal in the entire world. No pirate ever made someone else so terrified they couldn't sleep at night.
>>287622099See>>287621779and>With a few notable exceptions
>>287622113There are a lot of non-combatant characters with high bounties, hell most of the main crew are shitters, of course strong characters will have high bounties but that doesn't relate at all with power levels, the jew 5 don't have bounties and they are super strong
>>287622187>the jew 5 don't have bountiesI wonder why
>bounties are just powerlevels>except for the characters that have high levels for their knowledge or influence>also not anyone from the world government>and especially not the super strong characters that are supposed to be hidden from the rest of the world>especially especially the supposed king of the world whose existence we can't acknowledgeWell then it's remarkably unhelpful.
>>287611835No, not really.They are in-world influence levels and even that is unreliable due to manipulation by Government and BIG NEWS BIRD.>>287614435Buggy is unironically one of the strongest and most influential characters in One Piece. Even with his crippling cowardice and lack of trust in his own skills he almost killed Luffy, tanked attack from the (supposedly) strongest swordsman, built a successful business, became emperor, became yonko, ended as face of criminal organization directly threatening government and kinda sorta reignited passion among pirates worldwide that ended with everyone hunting for One Piece again.
Bounties can be powerlevels, but they are mostly what the WG fears, which can include strong people but also not.
>>287622534>WG issues bounties for people it wants dead>"hurrrr why members of WG don't have bounties"You might be genuinely retarded
>>287611835They are but they're more flexible. The marines don't have a Bounty scouter that can tell who'll win a fight, they have to guess based on feats.>JJK100% had powerlevels it just refused to tell us what they were. Isigori has the highest CE output level. What's Yuta's output? Don't know. Yuta and Sukuna have the highest CE quantity. What's Megumi's volume? Don't know.
>>287622187
>>287614435>They're just notoriety.LOL
>>287624727
>>287624734
>>287611835>Then why have it updated every time Luffy magically gets stronger at the end of every arc?It's not that he gets stronger. Don't get me wrong, he does. But he keeps doing these retarded feats. Honestly his bounty should have been ridiculous after Enie's Lobby. Then after Impel Down. Then after Marineford. Yeah it's a bit retarded but it really isn't a big deal and the bounties are more like who he has to overcome.
>>287624760>Who he has to me overcomeAnd I don't mean that physically. I doubt he will fight Shanks seriously. Shanks will probably die before that. It's just a bunch of stepping stones. One chapter he will have a higher bounty than Shanks despite never really fighting him and he will cry about it feeling proud of himself.
>>287624714>>287624745>>287624734>>287624727>But Usopp is weak and the Gorosei don't have bounties!
>>287624727>300 million berry>the strongest zombie everThat's the strongest Moria could get his hands on? Wasn't this guy supposed to be Kaido's equal at some point?
>>287624889Its just Oda being retarded. Moria dug up Rocks crew members, he knew big players and how strong they were.
>>287611835it is, but its weaved into the world building, so its neat
>>287622086>So power levels. With a few notable exceptions, but nonethelessWow you're to retarded to catch how this sounds>So it's true except for the fact that it's not. but those don't count
>>287625456>>287621779A dude was saying that "only women do this" yesterday.
