The crews affect the captain's bounties drastically, which is why captains often have disproportionately inflated bounties. Do you remember how strong and dangerous Luffy, Kid, and Law were when they had similar bounties to post-Dressrossa Zoro? Zoro at 300 million could crush Kid's crew, Luffy's crew, and Law's crew at the same time when their captains were given a similar bounty.
Luffy is given the same bounty as Law and Kid because they're trying to lowball Luffy, not because they don't take the crews into consideration while determining captain bounties. They're not giving him enough credit across the board, not just for fighting Kaido. You're trying to make it into something it's not.
No they aren't tho since bounties are based on the individual theyre given to
The captains bounty is based on how strong and dangerous they believe them to be based on what they know. If they wanted to know how dangerous that persons crew or fleet is they have is they just add up all their bounties together.
Luffys bounty doesn't reflect all the strawhats. All the strawhats bounty together reflect the strawhats
Zoro bounty reflect how much of a threat they think he is as an individual in addition to him being a strawhat. With his dressrosa bounty showing that they viewed him as a bigger threat and danger than any subordinate kid or law have
They took Kaido and Big Mom's inflated bounties and shared them with Luffy, Kid, and Law so I don't see why they'd do it differently for King and Queen. Kaido and Big Mom's bounties don't just reflect their strength either. And no one knows for certain that King is a Lunarian, which is the whole point of him hiding his body.
They didn't just beat 2 strong characters they took them out along with their roles in the world out with them. So yeah their bounty isn't just because of how strong kaido and linlin were but just how important they were too. Completely taking out 50% of the yonko (around 25% of the 3 great powers) out is pretty big deal. Especially when their seemingly done for good
Being a subordinate inflation under your captain effects you more than they effect their captains. The world government knows kaido and king escaped and joined forces together from punk hazard or wherever it was
Certainly, bounties aren't an accurate representation of strength but subordinate bounties are often closest to being an accurate representation of strength depending on how they got their bounties.
It for the most part only represents what the world government actually knows about the individual.
Like we as readers know luffy and blackbeard are way bigger stronger and bigger threats than kid and law but based on what the world government knows they don't fully realize
We know buggy doesn't deserve that high ass bounty
That cracker should probably get an even higher bounty tbh
Thsy oven and daifuku should be higher than tamago and pekoms
Ect
But again they only bade it on what they actually believe they know. If the wg knows of the majority of someones feats of strength or danger than yeah at that point it should be accurate
For some reason people fail to understand the WG wanted to downplay Luffy's role and make it seem like Kidd and Law played an equal role.
The real division should have been 4b, 2.5b, 2.5b. Law and Kidd played much lesser roles.
Again they downplayed him by saying he kid and law had equal part in taking down kaido and linlin
They didn't dismiss the fact his crew is significantly stronger cause he wouldn't have been named an emperor if that was the case
Is blackbeard in marineford beating Marco taking wb territories
Less than Buggy having mihawk on his crew then
He beat Marco and the rest of them 1 year ago during the grudge war
The world government believes buggy being able to commande characters like mihawk and crocodile speak for how strong he is. Which is why he got a bounty thats so high
The most the wg can go by to judge bb so far was his win against the whitebeard remnants
