I'm baffled at the prediction that Weevil's bounty is in the 1 - 2 billion range. Basically close to Mihawk's predicted bounty (2-3 billion).
Young WB hype or not, Weevil hasn't even defeated any of the top 3 commanders, yet. Luffy took out two of those and earned 1.5 billion. Weevil's actual bounty should be double his frozen bounty, no? Like 960,000,000?
Na.
But if he reaches 3b then it would be madness.
Not that I disagree a solo pirate with a 3 billion bounty wouldn't be madness, but that would forever tarnish the WSS image for having another swordsman (Shanks) and another semi-swordswoman (Linlin), don't you think?
I know, I know, large crews + territories + knowing secrets of the world play a part on the 4+ billion plus bounties of 3 of the Yonkos, I'm just saying it would look annoying and weird as hell for a 3 billion swordsman to be claimed as WSS constantly while 4+ billion swordsman is chilling out elsewhere.
After all, Oda seemed to take the hype he created seriously. After all, although WB was no longer WSM in actual strength back at Marineford, the hype he earned at his prime still earned him a 5 billion bounty. Kaido is hyped as the strongest living creature and has the largest bounty of all active pirates.
Taking these into account, Mihawk's bounty really ought to be above any active swordsman we can think of.
