Regardless how we feel about and powerscale the previous Shichibukai, in the One Piece world they are viewed above Yonko Commanders just by bounty alone, Oda giving Crocodile and Boa a bounty above those of the 1st YC's makes this clear
Bounties are literally connected to power. That’s why we have long tenured pirates like Teach and Marco literally use bounties to powerscale
Exceptions exist but were made aware of them like Buggy who’s bounty is because of his percieved ability to command mihawk and croc, or robin because of her ability to read the Poneglyphs.
Some reason people here seem to think Luffy be special is something new the moment Shanks gave luffy the straw hat and bet it all on him should of been the first sign that Luffy was something special

Because these are main characters who are constantly changing in bounty even when there’s no growth in power.
Comparing them to minor characters like most warlords and the commanders whose bounties will not be changing and are only designed to show the power levels is like comparing apples to oranges.
I think the bounty system is one of the worst thought out things in the manga. I feel Oda doesn't really care about it in the grand scheme of things and just used it for some cool moment in the beginning, but now it's just confusing.

I’m talking about both of them powerscaling opponents based off of their bounties…

Bounties just work differently for main characters than to minor characters.
For main characters oda actively knows when they’ll get bounty boosts and power ups so he’s able to make bullshit bounties so he can have more “bounty reveal” chapters which always generate a lot of hype.
For minor characters oda doesn’t give a shit about “well gotta take in the yonko tax and the murder some tax” he probably just thinks this is a children’s manga, I need a way to clearly state characters strength levels for these characters without having to waste time writing about them being this strong. So I’ll just give them a bounty that makes sense for that level.
