General & Others Why Shanks has highest bounty for his age among Yonko

[Seraphoenix]

Urouge is 2 decades older than luffy, but they both started their pirate careers at the same time. Same for Capone.

Like I said, Age is irrelevant here. Luffy is going to become the pirate king at 19 lol. Kaido and Shanks beginning their careers at the same time (relatively) is an established fact.

I’m not trying to downplay Shanks, but Kaido is objectively more impressive.

This is nonsensical. Are you serious or are you trolling?

One was in diapers while the other was fighting Roger and Garp. This means he has a far longer pirate career than the other.

Shanks has a far more impressive career for his age, especially given his pacifist nature.

I never troll. You are arguing against the authors own words here.

Kaido was a cabin boy for the Rox, that was his debut. Shanks became a pirate around that exact same time, so they’ve had the exact same time to amass bounties and Kaido did it better.

Okay you are trolling. Carry on :cheers:

 

[Elder Lee Hung]

You gotta love Shanks fans man.

 

[Red Admiral]

You actually compare it wrong is not about how old is he but how long he is being captain so about 23 years that’s a long time to build that bounty and Wb did the same and got highest bounty actually wb did that in less time than shanks, bb will do it even faster than that so what is that 39 yo with bounty of 4 bill when he is captain for 20+ years ? Is tottaly irrelevant he didn’t reach it faster he started earlier that’s it .!

he started earlier than Big Mom who as a 50 Mil pirate at age 5?
he started earlier than WB who went to be a pirate at young age?

and again .... starting earlier is still a point in favor of Shanks's capabilities as a person

Shanks is famous man for 15 years as best
WB was famous for +40 years
Big Mom was famous for +40 years
Kaido was famous for +20 or +40 years

so .... in less time he made it that high .... speak really much in Shanks favor

you really are tying to make a point here ... and it's fair

but let's see

20 years ago ... Shanks was a nobody
20 years ago .... Kaido was 100 times stronger than Shanks , had wano and a crew with a good pirate background

so

if both of them become "Yonko" around same time
it really speak to Shanks and Red Hair Pirate quality that their insane growth rate

It seems this thread is trying to prove that Shanks is the most dangerous Yonko because of his age. I have to disagree with this premise. This does not prove that the other pirates were less of a threat at age 39. The rest were part of the Rocks crew, a legendary infamous crew, out to take over the world.

being a member of the crew is high ... but not as high as being a Yonko

Yonko thread level is equal if not more than Xebec

and I'm talking thread not power

I agree with this, but Shanks wasn’t a nobody at 19. He was a pirate when he was less than 10 years old, so 20 years ago he wasn’t some nobody.

Remember that Roger held young Shanks in high regard, so Shanks was always strong. He was never an unknown lol.

 

[Red Admiral]

Shanks having a 4B bounty with 39 is indeed impressive, but we can't deny that in comparison to the other "original" Yonkou his took kind off a hit, especially since Shanks fans took pride in the opposite due to false editor hype.


Comparing bounties in a specific age is also not much of use, tbh. 39 Year old is prime Shanks on the peak of his pirate life, just like the other Yonkou. I doubt that his bounty will increase at from this point onwards.

so you think Shanks in next 30 years ... can't add 300 Mil to his bounty?

well in Roger Vs WB Pirate war Marco mentioned that he seems weak but with a strong will
nonetheless to "WG" ... Shanks wasn't famous for what we know ...
and still Shanks could have get a part of his bounty cause he was a Roger Pirate .... sure
but rest of Yonko were part of Rocks and it's almost as good

again for "KAIDO" I think the argument of him might have a 4 Bil bounty is indeed "possible" while it make no sense for WB

but I expect Kaido to earned more than 600 Mil since 20 years ago ...

he is the most trouble maker and we know his crew got much stronger ....

Shanks wasn't a rookie when he met Luffy

He had been a member of the Jolly Roger for years and years

He was already yonko commander material

Only reason why Teach scarred him is that he was yonko commander level himself :) and that due his brute strenght

it's really Shanks fame compare to the other 3

the other 3 been active famous pirate more than Shanks was alive ....

 

[Celestial D. Dragon]

How old was Kaido in that panel?5 years old?

He has at least a 15-20 year head start on Shanks imo. Doesn't matter if they are considered of the same generation, a decade plus head start is pretty big.

When Kaido and Shanks were apprentices, they wouldn't be considered full blown Pirates. Their Piracy careers would have taken off when they themselves took to the seas as Pirate Captains. So that just means something happened with Kaido between the timeframe of those 16-18 years between Rocks being defeated and Gol D. Rogers death that prohibited him from starting his life as an active Pirate.

The most likely scenario is that he was caught during the battle of God's Valley, and didn't escape til many years later.

Can we please stop using IQ insults in discussions

My IQ is better than ur IQ, it’s blue!

 

[style]

Tbh, in general, you couldn't compare Yonkou's bounty in specific age because of what we know as inflation.
It is not apple to apple, mate.

:cheers:

I'm almost sure Oda doesn't care about inflation.
If it was a joke then my bad

 

[Don DaSlayer]

Lmfaoo he got mad bc people don’t agree with him.

I'm mad cause of madness
people who have said Kaido ... fine ...
but Whitebeard?!

that's just a proof for people not even have a 0 understanding of story

that a 39 years old Whitebeard with no crew , title , rank , land , ally .... have 4 Bil

a Whitebeard who is a Yonko , have a massive crew , 1000s of allies , 1/4 of new world , had much more fights ... have 5 Bil

that's just madness

if a pirate is a confirmed owner of a RP then they are automatically a huge threat to the WG.
as a Roger Pirate Shanks had access to all 4 at some point.
WG just glad he is inept.

nothing more to it, imo.

Im not really following the discussion, but I just voted WB to trigger Red Admiral

Who cares about Shanks bounty? It's going to be lower because he's younger and because he's less problematic than Kaido and Big Mom. Only thing that matters is who would win in a fight.

in fact the only thing that matter is that who is a better and more interesting character

who the fuck care about power level after the story end?
who the fuck gonna be effected in their mind cause of a dude power level?

who is stronger is just a plus side to what ever character .... only to burn their fans or win silly yet deadly arguments

:cheers:
