You expect King to be <= 1.4B no? Your expectations would be wrong, so you should reconsider your hypothesis.
I don't have expectations as such. I have scenarios and opinions I'll adopt based on those scenarios.
If King's bounty is closer to Queen than to Marco:
Marco >> King > Queen >>> Jack.
If King's bounty is closer to Marco than to Queen:
Marco > King >> Queen >>> Jack
If King's bounty is above Marco's, but Marco is closer to King than to Queen:
King > Marco >>> Queen >>> Jack.
If King's bounty is above Marco's, but Marco is closer to Queen than to King:
King >> Marco >>> Queen >>> Jack
>, >>, >>> indicate increasing gaps.
Marco is well above Queen. He could handle King and Queen at the same time (albeit in Base and Zoan forms), so he's significantly stronger.
I think the gap between them is about the same as the gap between Queen and Jack.
King's bounty in relation to Marco helps place him.
Bounties aren't power levels, but they are hype tools (see Marco hyping King and Queen as two guys with bounties over a billion).
The above argument would be void if Queen's bounty is above Marco's.
I mean, Queen wasn't really that focused on Marco.
At multiple points we've seen Queen ignoring him and giving speeches to his subordinates or targetting others in the Live Floor such as Hyogoro or Chopper.
Marco was getting notably exhausted and having a very hard time just trying to get both King and Queen to engage with him, with Queen being shown to treat him more like a pest because of his annoying healing ability and not feeling threatened enough by Marco's offensive ability not to turn his back to him and focus on others.
Let's also entertain one of your scenarios
If King's bounty is above Marco's, but Marco is closer to Queen than to King:
King >> Marco >>> Queen >>> Jack
Jack = 1 bil
Queen = 1,320 bil
Marco = 1,350 bil
King = 1,4 bil
With these bounties King's bounty is above Marco's, but Marco is closer to Queen than to King.
Your conclusion is that
- Due to a 50 mil difference between King and Marco, the gap is almost as big as the one between Queen and Jack, where the difference is of 320 mil.
- Due to a 80 mil difference between King and Queen, the gap is significantly larger than the one between Queen and Jack, where the difference is of 320 mil
- Due to a 30 mil difference between Marco and Queen, the gap is the same as the one between Queen and Jack where the difference is 320 mil
