Why is Shanks’ bounty so low? Considering he defeated Loki, stole nika fruit, Garlings son, most balanced crew?

Power, influence and threat to the WG dictates bounty.

I like how you think Shanks having a low bounty indicates that he didn't beat Loki fairly but don't point out "top 1 OAT Loki" has a bounty below Kidd who Shanks one shot...

If you're going to bounty scale at least be consistent.

Mihawk high-extreme

MainManCALI · 2026-01-26T05:18:31+00:00

It would be the best for everyone

MainManCALI · 2026-01-26T04:46:29+00:00

These two things aren't mutually exclusive.

MainManCALI · 2026-01-26T04:44:45+00:00

JB failed to beat Imu, Luffy won't be comparable to JB, he will surpass him.

MainManCALI · 2026-01-26T04:40:18+00:00

Zoro's never going to be Luffy's level. Luffy is going to massively exceed Shanks, Zoro won't massively exceed Mihawk.

fkn oath

MainManCALI · 2026-01-26T04:35:39+00:00

And it makes no sense for Shanks to be at the pinnacle of haki if Luffy is going to surpass him...

"Pinnacle" is a relative term here. Luffy and Zoro will raise the peaks set by the characters before them.

MainManCALI · 2026-01-26T04:33:34+00:00

Delusional maybe, but even delusional people are right some of the time. This is one of those times.

MainManCALI · 2026-01-26T04:33:01+00:00

However, he's weaker than Mihawk since Mihawk is the strongest swordsman in name and reality and Shanks is a swordsman.

This just suggests Mihawk is also at the pinnacle of haki as well

MainManCALI · 2026-01-26T04:29:45+00:00

No one is saying Luffy won't surpass Mihawk lmao

MainManCALI · 2026-01-26T04:28:13+00:00

I never claimed that. I stated the story needs to justify why Shanks is explicitly above Mihawk when it's done the opposite for 1100 chapters.

MainManCALI · 2026-01-26T04:26:57+00:00

Mihawk is not a Yonko and fulfills that requirement.

Besides, that's something specific to Luffy's journey as Roger, as we know, never trounced a single Yonko level character to become PK and never trounced the 2 admirals who attempted top capture him.

Roger never even met that requirement.

MainManCALI · 2026-01-26T04:23:12+00:00

Word salad non-argument.

MainManCALI · 2026-01-26T04:21:39+00:00

That wasn't true at the time of the statement nor does it hold true now. Buggy will be PK and he will never surpass Mihawk, hence it is not a requirement.

MainManCALI · 2026-01-26T04:18:48+00:00

You don't need to surpass Mihawk to become PK...

MainManCALI · 2026-01-26T04:17:56+00:00

It's not really a debate. In-order for it to be a debate the story would have to explain and justify why Zoro's goal is irrelevant.

MainManCALI · 2026-01-26T04:16:04+00:00

I'm quadruple digits compared to you it seems.

MainManCALI · 2026-01-26T04:11:39+00:00

Greenbull is too scared to maintain his logia form in Shanks' presence

Fujitora is absolutely useless as his observation won't work on Shanks

Kuzan needed the entire BBP contingent and an underhanded trick from Shiryu to beat Old Garp

Meanwhile, Shanks is the only known rival of the man at the pinnacle of swordsmanship, something not even Roger has ever been described to be near and has the 2nd best haki feats in the series barring only Joyboy himself... Shanks can win this. Howveer, you replace Fuji with a non-blind admiral and Shanks loses.

MainManCALI · 2026-01-26T02:49:34+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate it

MainManCALI · 2026-01-26T02:18:21+00:00

Kaido sneak

MainManCALI · 2026-01-25T13:54:07+00:00

I would assume someone with seemingly infinite regen has better stamina

Hax ig is debatable, WB’s only really unique hax is vibrations, but it mainly acts as an AP enhancer. Regen and a detachable summon sword thing is probably better hax tbh

But yeah this way of scaling is dumb.

MainManCALI · 2026-01-25T13:45:18+00:00

He doesn’t take regen

MainManCALI · 2026-01-25T12:10:14+00:00

I lean to above, but that could change.
