Questions & Mysteries Luffy not getting a bounty bost makes no sense.

[Sir Yasheen]

Hum, I guess it's fair enough.

Because If I have to sum up again :
Chapter 956 -> Boa, Buggy, Weevil and Mihawk are attacked. At the same time, we have Garp still at Fishman Island.
At the same time, Teach after hearing the news decides to set sail.

Chapter 957 -> Garp just left Fishman Island (some time passed) and we have the Brandnew meeting with the mention of Teach's old bounty.

Chapter 1059 -> flashback in which Koby's unit attacks Amazon Lily and Teach landing on Amazon Lily. So time passed between chapters 956/957 and chapter 1059 because Teach left Hachinosu (in the New World) to reach Amazon Lily (which is in Paradise). It's maybe the same day but some time passed nonetheless.

In the same time, Buggy is attacked and Crocodile came to help him.
The Marines got news of this and decided to deploy this time Seraphims (chapter 1086).
Some time later, Mihawk joined Buggy and Crocodile and formed the Cross Guild.

Chapter 1058 -> the flashback in which CG bounties is discussed took place after the creation of the CG.

So you are maybe right about the fact there was 2 meetings :
- the chapter 957 one in which the topic was the alliance of Big Mom and Kaidou, and Warlords' old bounties have to be updated.

- the chapter 1058 one in which all old bounties got updated after Teach-Boa fight and CG's creation.

But I have a hard time to appreciate the fact Oda took a flashback (Teach-Boa fight) to give us current Teach's and Boa's bounties.

Because narratively speaking, the actual order of events is :
1) fight happens (past event)
2) bounty gets updated (present event).

While here, Oda took a present event (the bounties updated), forced it in a past event (the fight) to justify that past event will give the present event. That's not like this it's done usually in fiction.

Well there was no better place to showcase the bounties. Boa was MIA from this moment on, and the BBP showcase against the Heart Pirates was to showcase their fruits and not about any bounty it would’ve been worst to showcase the bounties there. Instead Oda showcased the bounty differential side by side with the power differential to explain just how outclassed boa was here.

Narratively speaking, it's weird.

Oda could have showed Boa's new bounty in the chapter 1059 when we see her in current time all bandaged (so the case just before the flashback).

And then showed Teach's new bounty against Law. That would not removed that power differential between Teach and Boa because we would have understood Boa retroactively fought a guy worth almost 4 billions.

Showing her bounty there gives less impact than seeing it in comparison to Blackbeard because her bounty is still incredibly hype as it’s significantly above the commanders who we’ve been dealing with lately so seeing her bounty while she is getting overwhelmed is more impactful.

And retroactively sure, but it won’t be to the same effect. Oda did it this way for that effect

Why are you wasting time with this guy ^

He's a troll

It's the same reason why Oda has Luffy lose like 1st round and 2nd round to the main villains.

Oda has to portray Luffy as the underdog for some reason
