About time I gave
@DonWick @Erkan12 @Red Admiral a Red Pill (No pun Intended)
I am not sure how far away from reality an average Shanks fan or a Luffy fan or Erkan is and how their brain functioning in fabricated false sense of reality actually works but I will drop some undeniable facts from manga and one fact from a movie which is essentially semi canon because it is strictly supervised by Oda and for Shanks fans specially, an enormous source of disgusting unearned Shanks wank.
So lets just look at the chapter where Shanks was given his bounty, because I don't even fundamentally need to fabricate anything unlike suspects on the other side who use nonsense like fake translations, misrepresentations of magazines (Which are only effective when they are against Mihawk but not when they are pro like Mihawk literally making Shanks famous), the actual lies about statements from Eiichiro Oda that never happened like "Oda said Shanks didn't lose any strength with loss of an arm".
So Lets see, what we learned from the people who assigned Shanks his bounty, what was their rationale, what were the reasons for his bounty of roughly 4 Bilion?
Reason 1 : SIX YEARS A MEMBER OF EMPEROR CLASS
This is relevant, a very relevant point because Teach started out as his emperor bounty of 2.25 Billions and without particularly doing anything remarkable or trouble, just within a year (As we learned about that bounty after 2 year time skip during which he became an emperor) he gained a bounty of 3.9 Billion.
So how many jumps has Shanks made since he became an Emperor.
Since Teach has gained about 1.7 Billion in 2 years we will be generous to Shanks since we have a lot of wiggle room here, God Damn is Mihawk's bounty insane, and say Shanks the peace loving (Not really) messiah, only gained 1 Billion Bounty since he became an Emperor. So what does Shanks have left? 3 Billion?
Reason 2 : BECKMAN, ROUX, YASOPP ... HIS CREW MATES ARE WELL RENOWNED
I often question intellectual capacity of an average Yonkotard but quite frankly even amount the miscreants of Yonko army, Shanks fanbase holds a special place when it comes to overwhelming delusion. They will say crew has nothing to do with bounty, crew doesn't increase a Yonko's bouny, only a Yonko increases crew's bounty. That is so catastrophically moronic as his crew is literally being mentioned as a reason for justifying his bounty.
I mean forget the fact that Bounty is literally given to you based on your threat level and an army behind you means you are more threatening than you are alone..like did ya'll even read this panel?
But lets be delusional enough to deny such well established reality, for Shanks especially, his crew is
literally mentioned as a reason for his bounty
So having such an insane crew, with Benn Beckmannn, the guy Shanks fans won't stop wanking, yet suddenly he doesn't matter, lets say this adds another 1 Billion to Shanks bounty.
We are now down to 2.05 Billion, see I even round up for Shanks not round down :)
Reason 3 : CHEIF OF RED HAIR PIRATES and EMPEROR OF THE SEA
Of course being a captain of a Well renowned crew, is gonna add to your bounty and being categorized as an Emperor is gonna have huge implications on your bounty. The moment you become an Emperor, your bounty surges up to an insane level. Luffy went from having a bounty of 1.5 Billion as merely "5th Emperor" while his previous bounty being 500 Million only, to having 3 Billion the moment he became an Emperor.
Only Oda and God (if you believe) knows what Buggy's bounty was as a "mere" Warlord like Yonko fans like to ironically downplay the title, I doubt it was more than 1 Billion.
But lets be very very generous to Shanks here as well and say being an Emperor only adds 1 Billion to Shanks bounty
We now have only 1.05 Billion left
That is hilarious because turns out that ain't so far off of what Shanks previous bounty prior to becoming an Emperor actually was
BUT WAIT
WAIT JUST A MINUTE
Even that bounty is not rightfully "earned" I am not too sure earning is the right word to be used to describe criminals but lets just go with it. The dude literally and we gonna dive deeper into film Red now so read at your own discretion Shanks literally stole Uta's bounty : Uta has this very overpowered devil fruit which can summon a giant monster strong enough to wipe out countries. That's as deep as I will go into that, I am not here to summarize the whole move. Anyways that monster destroys a country and Shanks, to protect Uta like a noble messiah, takes credit, or rather blame for such a tragedy
So you gotta wonder how green the grass really is on the side of Yonkou. How much a threat Shanks really is compared to Mihawk who we know and let me paste the panel first before I say this
Mihawk's bounty is given to him, despite all the malding, all the coping, all the seething, all the bitching, all the fabrication of facts, all the head canons, all the nonsense, solely and only due to his
STRENGTH
SKILL
STRENGTH
SKILL
HAKI
STRENGTH
BATTLE IQ
RANGE
LETHALTIY
DID I SAY SKILL
DURABILTY
ENDURANCE
SKILL FOR SURE
STAMINA
SPIRTUALITY
SKILL
HAWK EYES
BLACK BLADE
A LOT OF SKILL
NOT MUCH HAKI
Basically Mihawk's bounty is 3.6 Billion only because of how strong he is. That is all that is mentioned on his bounty, not him hunting Marines, not Cross Guild, only his Strength.
Which is absurd, ridiculous if you ask me as we have to consider the fact that Buggy puts a cap on his bounty. Captain always have the biggest bounty in the crew not matter how close in strength subordinate is to captain, no matter how much subordinate has accomplished, his reputation is always over shadowed by his captain. That is the natural order, and it makes sense because as threatening as you are, the one who commands you is even more threatening as you are part of his threat level, he has you at his disposal.
Unless you are Dracule Fucking Mihawk, you are so much stronger than your captain, meaning SO MUCH STRONGER than one perceived to be as strong as Yonko, as strong as Shanks, that the people assigning you bounty has no choice but to recognize you as biggest threat.
Now lets put Shanks in Mihawk's place and see what happens
Lets start with Base Line 3.6 Billion Bounty
Add 1 Billion for Yonko title
4.6 Billion
Now Lets Add 1 Billion for a famous Crew
5.6 Billion
Now we also gotta give Mihawk 6 years of Experience as an Emperor
6.6 Billion
That is hell of a lot of a difference but such is the difference in strength of Dracule Mihawk and Mere Emperor.
Remember I am being very generous here, not even counting Buggy's captain cap on Mihawk to boost his already insane base line bounty, the Film Red Debacle and the fact that all the deductions I did from Shanks bounty are very conservative.
There goes the whole "Sanji's bounty was once above Zoro"
Read the damn reasons, Mihawk doesn't have a famous father and biased journalist to give him wanky bounty and Shanks didn't miss an arc.
