ASK ME ABOUT KISSING A GHOST
I just realized this chapter introduced both of our new Emperors of the Sea as beaten wrecks at the mercy of their subordinates.

It's like poetry, it rhymes.

Also now that we have official confirmation of the new bounties it's time to bring this back up:

:siren::siren::siren:CONTEST ALERT:siren::siren::siren:

Hey! Guess I should post this now.

With Wano approaching its end after 4 entire years, I wanted to do something that celebrates one of my favourite parts of One Piece: bounty updates!

The last time we received a proper crew-wide bounty update was the end of Dressrosa, in 2015. If we consider the last time we had the entire crew together to react to bounties, it'd be the Post-Enies Lobby arc back in 2007! 15 years ago! Holy moley!

So, why not hold a once in a decade-ish contest and take bets on what everyone's new bounties will be. List out what you think will be the new bounties for each of the Straw Hats. The closest guess for each Straw Hat, as well as the resulting closest summed total for the Straw Hat Pirates' total bounty, will score one point each. The poster with the highest number of points wins!

:siren:The prize will be a 100$ donation to a charity of your choice!:siren:

To state it plainly:

1) Guess what each of the Straw Hats' new bounty will be.
2) Scoring will go by closest absolute value by difference for each Straw Hat, as well as the closest |value| to the total Straw Hat bounty.
3) Closest match will score 1 point.
4) In case two (or more) posters have the same number of points, winner will be decided by whoever has the most closest guesses to each Straw Hat.
5) Uh in case this still results in a tie I'll figure something out.
6) Poster with the highest number of points wins 100$USD (:canada:) to a charity of their choice.

For convenience, here are the current Straw Hat bounties:


"Straw Hat" Luffy
1,500,000,000 Berries


"Pirate Hunter" Roronoa Zoro
320,000,000 Berries


"Cat Burgler" Nami
66,000,000 Berries


"God" Usopp
200,000,000 Berries


"Black Leg" Vinsmoke Sanji
330,000,000 Berries


"Cotton Candy Lover" Tony Tony Chopper
100 Berries


"Devil Child" Nico Robin
130,000,000 Berries


"Cyborg" Franky
94,000,000 Berries


"Soul King" Brook
83,000,000 Berries


"First Son of the Sea" Jinbe
438,000,000 Berries


"Oni Princess? Oni Prince?? Kozuki Oden???" Yamato
n/a

+
Current Total for the Straw Hat Pirates
3,161,000,100 Berries

And for copy and pasting:

All bets will be recorded in this here spreadsheet.

Contest will close when spoilers for the chapter with the bounty reveals drop. I will sacrifice my own One Piece experience and start reading spoilers until we get the full reveal. However, note that I can't actually run in here and announce that spoilers contain bounties, so it will be a silent cutoff. Get in your bets ASAP!

Yeah the impression I get is this is less a "mistake" and more that they simplified it since it doesn't matter a ton and they wanted to abbreviate the bounties to something readable.

Buggy, like Shanks and Luffy before him, knows when fighting back is meaningless.

To Buggy, Mihawk and Crocodile are no different than weaklings like Higuma the Mountain Bandit and Bellamy the Hyena, they're just not worth the effort of Emperor class pirates.

This is fun to look at now.

Judging by everyone's numbers I think the biggest surprise to all of us ended up being Robin's massive bounty increase. The only person who was remotely close to guessing her new value also thought Ussop was going to go up to a billion. No one really guessed that Robin and Robin alone would be getting such a proportionally huge change in her bounty.

I wonder what accounts for it. If we assume the Emperors are those closest to One Piece then just the fact of her being on an emperor's crew makes her a lot more dangerous, so maybe that's it.

Or else they learned that Robin took out Black Maria, and therefore learned for the first time that Robin can actually kick rear end. After all, the government never heard about her last fight. Against Yama. On Skypia. So they might have only just realized the secret knowledge that can bring down the government is in the hands of someone who is actually immensely physically powerful.

Well! We made it! Lumps and all, Wano has finally ended and the official bounties have been revealed. Let's go through each of the Straw Hats!


Kild gets this point with a guess of 2,956,888,000 Berries, for a difference of 43,112,000

CodfishCartographer gets the point with a guess of 1,000,000,100 Berries, for a difference of 110,999,900
Of note, both The World Inferno and Raspberry Bang with their guesses of 1,000,000,000 lost the tie by just 100 Berries!


Julias and Silver2195 tie with guesses of 400,000,000 Berries, for a difference of 34,000,000

Kild gets the point with a guess of 368,100,000 Berries, for a difference of 25,900,000


Coaaab gets the point with a perfect guess of 383,000,000! Berry good


Fecha gets the point with a guess of 1,200,000,000 Berries, for a difference of 100,000,000

The official total bounty of the Straw Hat Pirates: a whopping 8,816,001,000 Berries!

Here's the data in case I get audited or whatever. Though I did this in kind of a rush so no excuses from me.


(I realized I didn't accomodate the formatting in case of ties. I figured out how to do so in a later spreadsheet but I was too lazy to go back and fix this one.)

Fun fact, my own guesses were:

RuBisCO posted:

good luck guessing chopper's

I won't be participating myself but here are my guesses for fun:

Luffy: 3,000,000,000
Zoro: 1,520,000,000
Nami: 366,000,000
Usopp: 500,000,000
Sanji: 1,330,000,000
Chopper: 1,000,000
Robin: 666,000,000
Franky: 840,000,000
Brook: 730,000,000
Jinbe: 1,080,000,000
Yamato: 1,210,000,000

Still wondering if something weird may happen with Yams but we'll see!

I would have nailed Luffy, Nami, and Usopp (exactly) and gotten the closest for Jimbe, which would have meant I tied for winner :v:

Yamato getting so built up as a new crew member only to last minute swerve to not joining, seemingly without reason, was the crowning jewel of an arc that had many instances of huge build up to weird resolutions.

I still really loved Wano. Just too bloated. Hell of a lot better than Dressrosa, which is the obvious comparison point.

They used formal language for almost all the Wano characters to emulate the fact they were speaking Ye Olde Japanese in the original text, so that might be part of it. Though I do remember the official did make a revolutionary punk with a mohawk and megaphone say “Indeed, the times are changing.” so uhhh maybe they finally took some feedback
