I looked up Katakuri's age to see if I could make a joke about him being Luffy's uncle, but it turns out he was 10 when Garp fought Big Mom. But I did learn that that was exactly how old he was in the flashback with Brulee. He was feeling bad about his sister getting beat up at the same time as Garp and Roger were wrecking his mother's crew. Must have had an interesting childhood. scary ghost dog posted:its dumber for the history of pirates in one piece to begin with roger.....there were always going to be pirates that preceded him and its cool to learn about the crew that kaidou, big mom, whitebeard and shiki were on Who cares about Rocks, he's just a focus for so many incredibly meaningful things snapping together all at once. Like a satisfying puzzle. It owns and this sense of meaning and history is something Oda has only managed to cultivate with a ton of discipline. There aren't many stories out there that can wait two decades of buildup to dump such meaningful lore that fits so well with the world. You'd expect a story like this to be dumping out superlatives after the first decade or so, but no, Oda waited this long to give us this context. If someone shows up to make all this look small, that would be bullshit (without an amazing story to go with it), but this much is just bringing together what we already know and it's great. Edit: Like, the exact value of Roger's bounty is probably an asspull. The bounties have always been excitingly large numbers compared to what we've heard before. So who cares about bounties right? But this is loving Roger's bounty. This is it. This is the end of the yardstick. We've seen the whole thing. There will be no more asspulls. It's all set in stone now. I think that's really cool actually. We've had that endgame feeling for a while now, actually fighting the monstrous Yonko, but the bounty reveal is another element of that sense that the top of the world is in sight.

Important to note that piracy was clearly a thing before Roger became pirate king as he was one but he set off the golden age of pirates which is still ongoing

That they took care to specify no pirate had a bounty higher than Roger's, until we get Luffy's final one at least, means Dragon absolutely has to be higher. Ubiquitus posted:Given the bounties now, I'm interested to see what dragon's is. He's been described as the most dangerous man I'd put it somewhere around the 6-7 billion mark, considering Roger's was "only" 5.5 billion.

Ubiquitus posted:Given the bounties now, I'm interested to see what dragon's is. He's been described as the most dangerous man Considering his epithet as "The World's Most Wanted Man", I'm going to guess around 10 billion berries. He's technically not a pirate, so it'd make sense he'd have a higher bounty than even Roger. Rocks actually seems sort of similar in this regard, ie directly attacking the World Government instead of just pirate stuff. doomrider7 posted:We still need to see Elbaf though and...sight....Im just not ready for One Piece to end. It feels like the End of an Era. All good things must come to an end, my friend. That's much better than the alternative of running it into the ground and ruining its potential legacy. Just enjoy the ride, it'll likely be another 5-10 great years to wrap things up anyways!

If a beri is equivalent to the Yen then it looks like bringing in a yonko tier target is worth somewhere between 22 to 55 million american dollars. It feels... sorta low considering the kind of trouble anyone would probably have to go through.

So maybe he has done that. Emperors other than Kaidou probably wouldn’t risk that because the Marines could just kill them instead of imprisoning them.

The marines seem to think it's better to put people in level 6 of impel down instead of killing them most of the time. Didn't work out too well for them. Maybe they'll change that policy now.

It could be a method of containing devil fruit powers in one place, rather than just let the fruit pop up somewhere they can't quickly find and get to whenever they execute a power holder. Also, would be further evidence Roger wasn't a devil fruit user.

That's probably part of their reasoning, yeah. I don't think they would hesitate to kill an Emperor if they had the chance, though. They seemed to be going for the kill against Whitebeard (not to mention killing Ace).

They seemed to be going for the kill against Whitebeard (not to mention killing Ace). I mean, the whole reason for Ace's execution being public knowledge at Marineford was to lure Whitebeard in so they could assassinate him in the midst of the battle (and hopefully kill all his sons, too). Doing so cost them more troops and resources than anything since...fighting the Rock Pirates, it seems, now. So, yeah, the Marines would loving love to kill all the Emperors, they just don't think it's feasible.

Nah, Roger was a symbol. They probably hoped that publicly executing him would reduce the number of pirates but he turned it against them. I imagine they’d do the same thing with an Emperor.

I imagine they’d do the same thing with an Emperor. Yeah, the WG is big on making examples like that which usually backfire. The whole Paramount War was not only a public execution of Ace but an attempt to lure Whitebeard into a similar public defeat, which while technically succeeding was obviously an even worse Pyrric victory. It really seems like the WG is inherently unsustainable despite their size and might because their policy of refusing to recognise any other legitimate rule is what enables pirates to rule pretty much everything the Marines aren't directly occupying and some places they are. And not to mention pretty much everyone hating the Celestial Dragons. Seems like they might have moved from God Valley after the defeat of Rocks to Marejois as a more defensible position. (and even that didn't protect them from Fisher Tiger)

By the way, the extra digits on the bounties of the Yonko and Roger are puns: Big Mom's bounty is 4,388,000,000. 88 (8 is ha) = haha = mother Kaido's bounty is 4,611,100,000. 100 (hyaku) and 10(ju) = hyakuju = Beasts. The extra 1 might mean #1. Whitebeard's bounty is 5,046,000,000. 4 (shi) + 6 (ro) = shiro = white Gol D. Roger's bounty is 5,564,800,000. (6=ro 4=ji 8=ya), so 648 sounds like roger. Similarly Shanks's bounty is 4,048,900,000 (4=shi 8=ya 9=ku), which kinda sounds like shanks, though this might be a bit of a stretch Then there's prediction about Luffy's final bounty going to be 5,600,000,000 because 56 = Gomu (5 = Go, 6 = Mu).

Pun are better than it just being arbitrary, which is what it felt like before, so this is better. Even the marines are admitting it's mostly arbitrary.

He's also 17 feet tall if anyone else is a nerd for statistics. I never noticed he was that big in the flashbacks. But I mean, if this was a lesser of two evils thing I'm sure Rocks must have been pretty horrible himself.

He was a former slave who presumably escaped then went back the hard way, part of why he's such a legend. Also wouldn't be surprising if the Celestial Dragons were totally undefended from that angle.
