Just imagine it:
"This guy with a reputation for killing marines (canon factor to rise your bounty beyond your strength) that is now a chief officer of a "major, major threat" of "navy hunters" (so Mihawk killing them isn't something from the past anymore) and an emperor subordinate (second canon factor to rise your bounty), plus is stressed to be a "former warlord" too; this very guy will be given a bounty solely based on strength because the author wouldn't repeat in the tiny bubble of speech what's already in the chapter's context".
This is how some people think Brannew is reasoning here and it's between laughable and sad.
They all are going through the some bad years and finally got something to went back in there delusional world and make theories and analysis as to how Mihawk could even neg diff Kaido or you can see from this thread where a few people have put PK Mihawk above Roger's bounty. Lol
When Brannew was giving Mihawks buggy’s and crocodiles bounty he explained their bounty reasoning:
Crocodile: Power, IQ, charisma
Mihawk: Power and his title as worlds strongest swordsman
Buggy: His past and whatever power allowed him to subjugate these two
So whole context to building the hype for these three by poor Brannew and later other marines after hearing all details asking what are the bounties for these three means nothing....
You mean Oda wasted two or three pages to describe all these three and how they could be dangerous for Marines/WG but he could simply have made three bubbles for the three members by saying one got cunning guile, one got sword skills and there boss has the ability to tame these two. Wowwww. Superbly done mate.
As for those who are still doubting bounties were issued before the fall of Kaido and right after schibukais were disbanded. You guys made wrong assumptions again. Don't cope anymore after this, all right !?
- Chapter 956, Revocation of Schibukai system. Coby went to Amazon Lily to capture Boa Hancock.
- Chapter 957, for the first time bounties of old yonkos were revealed. That is after schibukais were abolished and marines confirmed the revival of Rocks after continuation from chapter 956 events.
Now Brannew revealed BBs bounty is 2.247B as emperor and that is revealed when schibukais system got abolished and Coby went to Amazon Lily, now even in flashback that's when BB fought with both marines and Kuza pirates.
Oda revealed the boost in this way by putting it in FB just to hype up Boa and BB fight. Or if you all believes when Brannew made it announced as 2.247B than by just moving into the sea, BB got boost of 1.7B and Brannew forgot to forecast that "hey BB is moving again so his new bounty is 3.97B".....
While all these new bounties of schibukais or emperors starts spreading after Luffy beat down Kaido and on the celebration day as showed in chapter 1053 when newspapers started worldwide release and one of the Goroseis was angry till now chapter 1059 (spoilers).
So yeah all three of CG has bounties based on there affiliations with new organization as well as past deeds and may be being related to WG formerly.
