One Piece thread (Spoilers)

Even if luffy does the same thing as whitebeard and makes it his territory or something, the bountys won't necessarily increase. Something like impel down or a government related incident needs to happen again.

The world thought Luffy and his crew were dead. They revealed that they were still alive on Saobody Archipelago after the timeskip, they raised hell by pretty much one-shotting Pacifistas, and escaped easily. I would say that's a new reason for the government to be alert and to possibly raise bounties again, but might not be big enough just yet.

I'll reply to a bunch of the Jinbei posts later, I'm busy right now.
