Speculations What would Shanks’s bounty be if he was as violent as Kaido/BM and had been actively pursuing the One Piece?

#45
- Former member of the Roger pirates
- Received the trademark straw hat
- Has gathered subordinates that were infamous before joining Shanks
- Legendary duel with Mihawk
- Belongs to one of the founding families of the WG and has the power to walk into the Gorosei's room and have a casual chat with them.
- His Dad/Uncle/Whatever is the leader of a strictly Celestial Dragon fighting force

Have some shame Shanks bros. The fact that his bounty is this much below BM is already rough enough. He doesn’t need to start killing civilians on top of that. He might get an extra 100 or 200m but he stays below BM and surely Kaido.

It doesn't work like that, I think. The sum of the bounties for the pirates defeated in Wano by Kaido exceeds 10 billion. He also defeated Luffy in 923; however, this information didn't leak, so Kaido didn't get a bounty increase because, narratively, the story didn't allow it. He also defeated and killed Oden, but the Marines are unaware of this, considering how Sengoku mentioned Oden to Akainu, curiously, and if I'm not mistaken, Akainu only knew about the clash between Law and Blackbeard but didn't mention anything about Shanks versus Kid. It is very likely that BB will undergo an increase and Shanks will not and narratively it makes sense.
and you think the news of Shanks beating Kid or Teach beating Law won't be public?

p.s
also people claim Shanks bounty is low cause he is peaceful
but the fact that Gorosei KNOW he will never try to take over the world (unlike Kaido)
should be a factor too


but as you mentioned, not all of Kaido's feats went public ...

so bother Shanks and Kaido had a chance of surpassing at least Whitebeard bounty

This is the point, we will have plenty of arguments to say that Kaido and Shanks' reward could have surpassed Roger and Whitebeard's, especially Whitebeard's. However, the narrative did not allow for that, plain and simple. Apparently, only Luffy and Blackbeard have this privilege, which is ridiculous.

For Kaido, he can use the excuse that the events in Wano (Kaido's feats) didn't leak, although the government and the navy clearly knew that a war was taking place. However, for Shanks, he will simply apply delay and start with Kid here. Shanks defeats Kid and doesn't receive anything for it, Kid and Killer.

Before Kaido's bounty was revealed, he had defeated the 'Fifth Emperor Luffy,' and the marines knew about it, but no increase in the bounty was mentioned. I mean, Sword and not necessarily the marines, but if the marines knew about Kaido and Big Mom's alliance, they knew about Luffy's defeat...

It is very difficult for the Yonko to receive an increase in their bounties; the only ones who continue to see increases are Luffy and Blackbeard.Apparently, after reaching the 4 billion Berries mark, not just any feat leads to an increase in one's bounty. Defeating someone with a bounty of 3 billion or 1.5 billion is common for someone of that stature.

If Shanks had the same activity and violence as Lin or Kaido what would his bounty be?

I don't get it... that would make him the same bounty as theirs or slightly less if he's weaker, which he probably is.

He is actively pursuing one piece, he simply couldn't get to the poneglyphs because he didn't want to risk taking them on. If he had been as active he could very well end up either dead or losing his crew.

Protects civilians and shit crews.

Owns places where people live peacefully without getting enslaved or paying half of their soul every month.

Stopped kaido from going to marineford.

Split the skies with WB.

Made the WSS shit his pants and IMMEDIATELY run from marineford as soon as he arrived.

PR god where everybody loves and admires him.

Luffy's greatest idol and motivation coach.

One shot the whitebeard of current generation.

All that and still 4 bil bounty, had he been as violent as kaido, his bounty would be on the 6 billions already hahahahaha.

Shanks would have lost to Kaido because Shanks isn’t Joyboy and there’s a prophecy that only Joyboy can beat Kaido and free Wano

So… if Shabks tried anything, he’d be in a body bag

this isn’t about whether Shanks can defeat Kaido… technically oden could defeat Kaido 20 years ago as well… the point is that Oden wasn’t the chosen one and he knew it so that’s why he left it to Joyboy, he didn’t even try to go get Whitebeard to help at all

As per propehecy, Shanks would have lost to Kaido, end of story
