You mean Oda showed BB bounty being 2.2 Bil while he already showed the bounties of the other Yonkos at 4, 4.4 and 4.6 Bil and even the PK ish 5 and 5.5 Bil bounties but then decided that BB needs an upgrade to 3.9 Bil? You do understand that Oda made such a big mistake for probably his FV that he was comparing him to other Yonkos but didnt think about the bounty he was handing out to BB while also explaining why these guys are getting the bounties they are getting?
Questions & Mysteries Oda confirms Emperor title > Bigger bounty, WGS + Marine Hunter titles

Maybe it doesnt but narratively it does imo. Bounties increase over time due to achievements and specially matter when compared directly by the author. Shanks was a Yonko for only 6 years hence his bounty is lower than Kaido and BM who had been for decades as per BMs own words. BB became a Yonko only 1-2 years back but his rise is meteoric. He went from unknown (maybe 0) to 2.2 and then 3.9 Bil to show that in this current stage he is almost equal to Shanks at 4 Bil. Luffy went from 500 Mil to 1.5 Bil to 3 Bil. Law and Kid went from ~500 Mil to 3 Bil. BB has way more narrative importance than Law and Kid combined so if they can get 2.5 Bil jump and get an overinflated bounty then BB can easily get 1.7 Bil bounty more accurate bounty.
I can understand that since most of his shown achievements to us readers are during the TS then he should get that 3.9 Bil from the get go. But from the authors perspective BB is a rising threat who has become a Yonko for only 1-2 years. Him being so close to the golden boy Shanks bounty is not good. To show BB as the rising threat he needs to keep getting bounty rises but without hitting the ceiling too quickly. If you start at 3.9 Bil then the next rise might push him over Kaido etc. which is most likely not Odas intention.
Yeah, so it depends on whether it’s confirmed whether BB did do something tangible (which I don’t rule out) in the time the strawhats were in Wano. But if it turns out BB didn’t do anything much (there’s nothing hinting towards it for now other than the bounty) then my guess would be 2.2B was just oda’s way of telling us the ballpark of Yami Teach’s threat level and 3.9B is EmperorTeach’s threat level. Again, I could be wrong with new details being revealed in the future but if there’s nothing shown then that will be my guess behind the sudden bounty increase. Maybe oda realised he didn’t focus on Teach in the post war arc as much as he should have so he just decided to add the Yami Teach bounty detail post timeskip so it also coincided with him becoming Yonko which saved oda some time
Why not?
- Payback war , Fought Whitebeard remnants
- Law and Coby Hachinosu Incident
- Established an entire Grand fleet under him
Which resulted in 2.2 B.
Now ,
- Kidnapped Coby and
- Aokiji under his wing
- invaded and Defeated Boa Hancock
- Went to revolutionary Location and made them flee.
- Fought Seraphims
Though Aokiji under his wing is the biggest brownie point.

Bounty = threat to government.
Emperors might not be the biggest threat to government thats why they don't need to have biggest bounties. Just like Dragon having bigger bounty than Emperors, not because power level because of the threat to government.
Teach proved his strength as Emperor but his threat level to Government wasn't high as others at the time thus was only 2.2 billion.
Emperor title is related to strength not biggest bounty.
Thats why they think Buggy > Mihawk but Mihawk has bigger bounty, bigger threat to Government because Mihawk was the first Marine Hunter they know, similar to Dragon being first Revolutionary then Ivankov and Sabo joined, Buggy and Croc started to Marine Hunting after Mihawk.

Yes it does.... because he's part of the crew
1. We don't know that
2. Him having bounty or not doesn't stop the fact that he officially became a member around end of Wano with kidnapping Pudding right when BB got his increase
....the fuck?
He kidnapped Pudding way before Egghead, how should they only know post Egghead?
