BOUNTIES Part 2: Forbidden Knowledge and Pirate Alignments! - One Piece Theory | Tekking101 

Robin’s epithet needs to be changed from “Demon Child” to “Best Woman”.

If Buggy isn't a Emperor by the end of the series I'll be pissed.

Usopp went from 30 million to 200 million Luffy too he went from 30 million to 100 million. Bounty increases are weird

Damn straight tekking...damn straight

About the thing of Luffy being an emperor though. I see a lot of comments about how Luffy isnt really at the power of an emperor, but when you break it down he kinda is. Not in terms of manpower nor the ability to beat any of the other emperors in a 1v1 perhaps, but in terms of what he has accomplished against the world government and the status he should have, he is well deserving of the status as an emperor (aside from the fact that I assume the world "emperor" implies he has to rule over some sort of territory, but at least Fishmen Island is a start). I mean, just look at what happened in part 1. His crew basically fucked up Enies Lobby and leveled that shit to the ground (yes, I am aware of it being the buster call, but from the world government and the average citizens perspective, they did), for then to shortly after stage a break out from what is supposed to be the worlds impenetrable prison where the government holds all of its worst criminals. He then played a crucial part in what I assume is one of the greatest wars that world had seen for a long time , and even managed to escape that hellhole with his life. Keep in mind that these 3 events ended with the destruction of 2 out of the 3 main government controlled strongholds in Paradice, with the only exception being Impel Down that was at least still structurally ok after Luffy's unprecedented breakout. In total he has also now taken out 3 warlords, something that should have quite a lot of symbolic value considering how the 7 warlords are supposed to be there as a symbol of the governments power, and a warlord being taken out does not appear to be something that really commonly happened before Luffy came around. Also, thats not even including Jimbei, a former warlord who is now informally on his crew, and Law, another former warlord that essentially defected to work with him (yes, that's not the full story, but that's probably how it should look from the governments perspective). I those accomplishments in part 1 alone, as well as how much he has managed to fuck over the entire warlord system, should be enough to put him at least of a similar, if not far greater nuisance level to the world government than any of the 4 emperors. Now I'm in NO way saying that he is a greater threat than the other emperors in terms of power, but what I however am saying is that I highly doubt any of the other emperors have done even half the damage to the world government that Luffy has done so far in the story. After all, the world government appears to have overall been rather stable for a long time, before Luffy came in and fucked everything up. In fact one could reasonably argue that Luffy's bounty should even be higher than that of an emperor, as the financial benefit of stopping Luffy from continuing his rampage of destruction could reasonably be higher than the benefit of capturing any other individual in the entire one piece world. If anyone disagrees with that statement, my counter argument is this: How much money do you think the destruction of Enies Lobby cost the world government, and what do you think the sum total of the bounties from all the prisoners who escaped from impel down might have been? Would love a video on this topic btw

Sequel video or not, this uncringey intro is unacceptable. I thought you were better than this Tekking

Man the amount of love i have for this man is undescribable. Love you all the way from the United Arab Emirates and may god bless your soul.

I bet the wg kept choppers and bepos bounties so low because they didn't want to admit how much they fucked up the first time. Think about how embarrassing it would actually be for them to correct bounties that low. From 50 to 50mill is essentialy admitting that they have falty information he'll they didn't even want to make the impel down breakout public

Chibi Robin is too freakin cute

I really miss Tan Robin omg

Robins bounty as a child is impressive when you think about it. I mean Big moms first bounty as a child was 50 million berries.

If the straw hats found pluton Ussop and Luffy would play around with the cannon and try to hit a deserted island and when ussop hits the island it gets obliterated and then they find out Johnny and Yosaku were on it.

Maybe in the WG's mind, Robin is one of the "weak" members of the Straw Hats. So yeah, her ability to read the Poneglyps is dangerous, but maybe in their minds, if they can take out the heavy hitters like Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and let's not forget God Usopp, Robin will be easy pickings. There seems to be a pattern of every major arc now giving a few Straw Hats a big new ability or power boost, so I'm hoping that Robin's turn is coming. Whether that means Haki, or new applications of her Devil Fruit.. hell, everyone talks about Luffy or even Chopper Awakening their Devil Fruits, but what if ROBIN was the one to do it? Anyway, I'm just getting at that if Robin shows herself to be a more dangerous combatant then the WG thinks she is, she'll probably get a raise. Also, they may not know that she spent the last two years hanging out with the Revolutionary army, so whatever she got up to with them, if that got out there, might also be a factor.

*_HECK YEAH NICO ROBIN BEST WOMAN_*

Yet she hasn't used her knowledge in twenty years. Maybe that's why they didn't raise her bounty to much. I think that if she ever uses the knowledge to do something big, her bounty would immediatly get raised with a crazy amount.

The bit with the yonko registration was hilarious xD

Chopper will beat Kaido and become King of the Beast... in my dreams.

i think the bounties have A LOT more to do with what that person has done, but still take into account their connections, knowledge, and ability to threaten the world governments hold on the world. With Robin's bounty i think this is most prevalent, she was given a 79 MILLION beri bounty at the age of 8, but then was never heard or really seen from again for like 10 years if not more, and they didnt really know of her doing anything "bad" up until the whole Alabasta incident, which is why they never raised her bounty. Same thing even now why it isnt any higher, because yeah WE know everything she does whenever the Straw Hats fight somebody, but the World Government most likely doesnt, the public definitely doesnt. Its whatever the news reporters and government officials see as the most important stuff, so they see Luffy, whose the captain so the most important one on the crew, go and take out say Moria, and that Zoro and Sanji were also fighting. They dont see or care about Robin saving some of the crew from falling and dieing, or anything Usopp has really ever done until the whole God Usopp thing, because now more people saw what he "did" and think a lot more of him. Same with Chopper, the government doesnt know that he is a doctor who was trained by one of the best in the world, or that he has and created the rumble balls, so we cant say that his bounty should be higher based off of that. So raising a bounty has more to do with their accomplishments, and what accomplishments the World Government KNOWS about in my opinion.

Yeah 450 mill bounty would be good for Robin, BTW we need a nico Robin week

Everything was going great until Tekking realized he did an uncringy intro lol

Lowkey though, considering the lack of Warlord candidates Buggy isn't that bad of a Warlord, his crew are all extremely strong prisoners from Impel Down and they all listen to Buggy

I can’t get the image of Franky dancing to 🎶 Sunshine and Lollipop’s🎶 out of my head now. Thank you for that Tekking

Speaking of of Nami and Robin, Pre Timeskip One Piece I would've chose Robin no question. But now, Nami is definitely giving Robin a run for her money. Robin's personality for me, is what has her slightly above Nami.

Could've gave Chopper at least 5 million after Enies Lobby. He'd still have the lowest bounty but it'd be a hell of lot better than 50. 🤣

On Straw Hats not being at threat: They aren't a threat to civilians, well-meaning pirates or uncorrupted law-enforcement officials, which even the marine higher-ups must have realized by now; but they most definitely are a threat to the World Government and Celestial Dragons, but that just makes it way more baffling that Robin's bounty isn't higher.

Something ain't right here. Tekking made it through the intro without any cringe? *The world really is ending...*

Usopp obviously is going to have the biggest bounty

I just love it how Tekking talks about one piece stuff as if it was a real world out there, you rarely hear him say “Oda did this because of that” ,rather he’ll say “this happened because of that” And even tho it’s kinda funny but it’s still amazing and I love it.

I just caught up with one piece... 😭😭😭 BINGE ALL THEORIES

“Ha Ha Ha.. Screw animals” that marine impersonation was on point my friend 😂

Who else was reading tekkings shirt and thought it said gay finder

That whole Chaotic placement reminds me of a quote from wreck it Ralph where a “villain” in the movie tells Ralph “You are bad guy but that doesn’t mean you are BAD guy”

do you not remember the subplot in Enies Lobby....where Franky had the blueprints to Pluton...theres not ship sitting on an island somewhere.....it was just blueprints, which franky had..........and burned also, they kinda bombed the shit out of enies lobby so who would be alive to say hey that big reindeer and that small reindeer are the same thing. and one final important note....the Strawhat Pirates arent a normal pirate crew, they even stated in the manga and anime that its crazy that every crew member has a bounty

There’s a quote from pirates of the Caribbean that I think applies to the Yankos. “The pirate king is elected by popular vote and every pirate votes for themselves.” To be an empire of the seas you have to be seen as worthy of it by a majority of other pirates. Something Luffy is getting but doesn’t have

Hey tekking could you give a rough estimate if everyone knew about the straw hats feats, connections, family, powers etc and the government never covered any of it up what would be there bounties be

5:35 Robin does know where Pluto is. Crocodile was spot on with his Intel and that poneglyph he had her read in Alabasta had the information he was looking for. After Robin lied her ass off to Sir Croc, Cobra told her to cut the crap, because though he was not able to tell what was written in the rock, he did know it was not the history of the country and the Nefertari line, because those records were kept somewhere else. So now that the blueprints were destroyed by Franky she is the one and only who's capable of bringing back that particular Ancient Weapon back

*"Gayffindor"* I see you tekking 😏

Robin with the country accent.. 😂😂😂😂😂 yo I'm with ya Tekking Robin is a goddess either way

😱🤭😱🤭 No cringe intro!?!? I want my money back!!!

On the Chopper paradox. One of the reason that the monster point don't have a bounty is the duration: 3 minutes. What does that mean for the higher up of the marine ? -There are no picture or good memorie of him : no time for a "photo" and during the 3 minutes the marines present don't have the time to have a good look at him if they want to survive. -There is no records of him before or after the incident. And how a monster of this side wouldn't be spoted ? -The Sunny and the Mary are too small to hide someone of the size of the "Monster". -There isn't any damages or traces that cannot be attributed to an other Straw Hat : Luffy and Zoro are known for large scale material destruction. -The marines reporting the "Giant Monster" probably failed against the Straw Hat (like in Enies Lobby) Taking all of this into acount, it easy for the WG to asume that there isn't any "Monster" and the marines are lying to not bear the full responsability of their failures.

yo when did robin ever wear that 2:22? because thats straight ecchi

Slowly but surely, Tekking's room is starting to look like a police department with all the WANTED posters he has.

The thing about Chopper is that the Pacifistas are able to distinguish that Sogeking was Usopp and Chopper when he was in monster point. So his bounty is 100% a joke.

Franky already know the blueprint of pluton and I'm positive he already memorized the part that he likes

What would happen if Luffy's King Kong gun clashed with All Might's United States of Smash ?

I think Robin and Franky should have one of the highest bounties in the series. The only way their bounties would make sense is if most people don't know about their abilities (reading the ponyglephs and memorising pluton's blueprints respectively), which means that having an incredibly high bounty would just be suspicious and cause more people figuring out their abilities.

Make a theory video about the great war in the end of one piece

That asshole in the Marines could actually be protecting animals by giving them such a low bounty. Think about it.

2:02 Tekking please don't murder CHOPPERS brother NOTTER

I honestly think Robin deserves to me like at least 500mil with those personalities that's like 100mil right there

Will we go back to Ohara someday? (A burnt island, and the government took the poneglyph).

That alignment thing gave me an idea: You should do a full video about alignment in One Piece. You've already put the Strawhats on "Chaotic Good" and Fujitora on "True Neutral", so I'm sure there are characters for each alignment. I myself would place most of the World Government on "Lawful Evil".

"Robin is best woman" that's a weird way to spell *Koala*

Tekking: Did I just get through an intro without doing anything weird? Also Tekking: Wait that’s illegal

*Tekkings cringe has no limits* Or so I thought until the intro

hey, was wondering if you could do a video covering all the chapter front page cover stories until this point, i feel like i'm missing out on some context at times and i really don't want to look through all the chapters as i just recently started following the manga. I feel like i'm not the only one.

Do more WEBTOON plz..

"you can be an honorable thief or a dishonest priest" These are very wise words befitting a true king - the cringe king.

1 goat

For Robin's bounty, the world government would actually have to be careful about making it too high because if it was crazy high it'd raise questions about why she's so wanted. So really the world government needs to strike a balance between enough money to get people trying to turn her in while still staying low enough to restrict rumors on her capabilities with the poneglyphs.

I saw my girl Nami😍 I clicked faster than light ..

what clover was about to say was..... 'dun dun dun' like they didn't let him build it up enough

is it just me or did anyone else notice that tekkings shirt says GAYffindor not gryffindor.

I was under the impression that Buggy became a warlord because of all the dangerous prisoners he busted out that eventually became a part of his crew. If I remember correctly, there are even moments where Buggy realizes that some of those prisoners are stronger/have higher bounties than he does while he and Luffy are running around Impel Down. From the WG's point of view, the easiest way to mitigate their losses from the Impel Down prison escape would be to create an illusion that those that did escape are still under the WG's control by having Buggy under the WG's control as a warlord.

1st YES !

Chopper’s bounty going up would SO be impressice

2nd

Hey Tekking, i have another point to consider when calculating someone's bounty. It may seem similar to the "Connections" point which you discussed in 1st part of this video but it's totally different. I'll explain... Having connection to different people definitely makes the bounty goes higher but the bounty rise affects only one person. What I am saying maybe considered as a another side of coin of ""Connection". The best example of it is Nico Robin. Nico Robin has the ability to unveil the secrets of everything. Reading ponyglyphs and unlocking mysteries and truths. Whether she wants to or not, there is huge possibility of it happening, atleast in the eyes of wg. And we also have to agree with the fact that at one time Robin will tell everything about it to rest of the strawhats too. WG will, most certainly and definitely not put this matter aside atleast in case of strawhats. Whole world has example of Ennies Lobby. They all know how the strawhats feel about their crew member Nico Robin. So they can consider the possibility of Nico Robin not telling it to others but they will certainly assume that she will most certainly share the info with rest of the strawhats. They even might think that she has already uncovered some truths and rest of the strawhats also knows it as well. So wouldn't it will also affect rest of the strawhats bounty too. Its opposite to how having many connection with threatening people affects the bounty of single person. In this case it's having a crew member similar to Robin's case can also affect the bounty of the whole crew itself.

Rest in piece. Based on the intro, tekking is gone

Oh man, Bepo in sulong form has to be badass af. And we'll get to see it in Wano 😁🌝

7:00 Because they used to extort her into working for CP9. I think it's Lucci the one who says it: "Why do you think every organisation she is ever affiliated with crumbs to pieces while she somehow manages to walk away every time?" Now, giving the fact that Luffy's lineage was revealed, they should assume she has ties with the Revolutionary Army (and they'd be accidentally right, go figure) and automatically increase her bounty, though

I just had to pause the vid to go on here and sat something right after the circus joke, especially the "do dododo do" bit just cracked me up!!

One thing about the Buggy situation I think deserves mention: I think you're MOSTLY on point with him wrt the world believing in his fraudulent notoriety, but one thing that's been overlooked in this discussion is arguably the whole point of the warlord system to begin with, for the World Government to be able to have pirates under their control. This is most likely Sakazuki's dream scenario here, because Buggy is very much a pirate he can keep reasonably under control, won't go rogue ala Crocodile. has the attention of the world and most importantly, the adoration of his crew, many of whom are former Impel Down prisoners, who knows, maybe some of them might even have been dangerous enough to have been worth nominating as a warlord in their own right. Through Buggy, the WG gets to control them as well.

Here is what I feel is up with Chopper's bounty: 1) His number being a "pet" is so low but it actually means thousand. So, if you think of it that way, pet status shows a low number (50), but fighter is 50,000. 100 is 100,000. 2) How can they show him as anything but a pet? The only times he is not in his small form is when he is fighting someone/group of enemies. So, he can only be shown of as a cute pet. People would be like "why is a cute little raccoon-dog/reindeer at 100,000 bounty? He seems like he wouldn't do anything if someone came up to him. He is only a pet, so why should we care?" That is just my logic as far as him, so Beppo, being under the same logic, would be 300 is 300,000. Carrot's bounty could be 150, but it would actually mean 150,000 if she did get a bounty.

Buggy is actually the perfect candidate for a Warlord, because the 2nd World Power was designed to help control the pirates, not give them power. Buggy is not powerful, but he can create a lot of influence, albeit unsupported, and being weak means that the government can control him that much easier.

ANOTHER ONE PIECE VIDEO IDEA on Luffy being a shonen protagonist with the least amount of plot armor. Nothing ever feels like a stretch in the world of One Piece.

It's 2:54 here, Tekking. That's a very tempting thumbnail just to get me tired and postpone my sleep...

Well, there could be that one guy on the group that decide bounties who loves animals so he gives them low bounties so that they won't be targeted by bounty hunters or pirates

I wanna know who hurt Matt to make him add D's to words that don't have them. Fishmand island, fifd emperour. Be sure to reply with more words he just can't say right! Love ya tekking, keep up the good content!

Hey Tekking. Hopefully you'll read this - but here is my take on why Robin has such a low bounty. First, established back in the East Blue Saga, bounty hunters do exist in One Piece. Second, from what we know, bounty posters dont explain why the bounty is such on them. As such, if a decently strong pair of bounty hunters look at a poster for, say, Luffy they realize they have no chance. It's too high. However if that same pair looks at robins, sees it's only 130 million, they might be more inclined to want to take her out. Her knowledge might be worth 500mil, but her fighting skill is more worth the lower bounty, which could spur more high-tier bounty hunters to go after her. Albeit it would be tough seeing as she never leaves the company of the Straw Hats but someone may be able to plan an attack on her when she is alone.

Hmm. I could see "Straw Hat Monster" having at least a bounty of 60 million. I still stand by my assessment in the last video about Chopper's bounty being in the hundred millions by virtue of the "forbidden knowledge" clause though. The thing is, I would be scared shitless as a member of the WG if I knew about the rumble balls. Only Chopper has eaten them, but what the heck happens if suddenly *every* Zoan user had access to their own Monster Point? Heck, since his fruit is the less combative Human Human fruit, what if other Zoans are even stronger? All it takes is Chopper talking to _one_ influential distributor and any newbie scrub with a Zoan fruit in the Grand Line will have access to a power that simultaneously gives CP9 levels of strength and turns them into indiscriminate berserkers. What if *KAIDO* got his hands on the Rumble Ball formula?!

Maybe Buggys.position isn't about what he's done but the simple fact he was on Rogers crew.

8:52 I think they are trying to Jeep robin on the down-low so too many people wouldn’t gun for her. The primary reason why most of the public were aware of robin was because she was a survivor of ohara not because she could read the poneglphys.

I wouldn't be surprised if Franky memorized the blueprints to Pluton, he's a master shipwright and has a cyborg mind. He just knows from Tom's teachings that it should never be made

this makes me happy had a shit day so this was needed

I have that headcanon that Killer is Kid's older overprotective brother, and he keeps an eye on him, so he didn't kill too many people, take his bath every day, and remember about breakfast.

Kidd would put the decapitated head as decoration on the front door and using his own blood write "Never laugh at a man's dream"

About Pluton. Anyone else think the "1000 Sunny" is actually a scaled down version of it using available technology? He had the plans with him for a long time. The main cannon and rocket booster with a submersible onboard all sound really advanced.

My thought on Robin's bounty is this: being able to read poneglyphs is only part of it. even if you CAN read them, it ultimately doesn't matter if you don't have excess to any, to read. as far as we know the WG doesn't know Robin has read even a single poneglyph(1 at most, being the Alabasta one if Crocoboy told anyone). if they knew not only how many she has read but also which ones(like the road poneglyphs) on top of here being a Strawhat, she would indeed get a HUGE bounty increase. also, i feel like the 79m was for the purpose of hoping she was weak and someone catches her and turns her in b4 she grows up, which obviously failed. my guess is that at the end of the Wano arc the Marines/WG will find out that Robin & the Strawhats have read 3 of the road poneglyphs & luffy & Robin's bounties will skyrocket.

Personal headcanon regarding Choppers bounty: The person responsible for Choppers bounty is just like "I *know* he can transform into this giant monster, but look at him! Isn't he the *CUTEST* little fellow? I could never forgive myself if he got hurt. I don't wanna give him a bounty, but I have to, so I'm gonna give him 50 Berries. No one is going to hurt him for 50 Berries, right?"

I'm a simple man. I see a new Tekking video, I press the like button.

I never concidered your point about Buggy but that sounds right.

18:10 how did you not become killers voice actor. That whirling blade sound sold me!!! 🤣

SANJI WASN'T IN THE MOCK TOWN BAR FIGHT!!! It was Luffy, Zoro and Nami!!! Get your shit together Matt!!!

Counter theory. The one setting the bounties loves animals so much that they(she) doesn't want anybody take them seriously as a hunt

I have always assumed the bounties below 100,000 are actually the marines way of low key insulting a crew. As if they are saying, that this crew is doing so bad they are scraping the bottom of the barrel for this weakling. Almost more of a PR move. If you think about it they probably had to pay more than that just to commission the portrait and distribute the bounty posters.

The government was worried about somebody using Robins ability when she was younger. They didn't increase it because as she got older it was harder for people to use her.

Thankfully, Robin's bounty has finally been done justice post-Wano.

You know how people can armament Haki their full body. Monster point chopper, with full body armament Haki and some basic observation Haki. The new Youko Tony Tony Chopper.

The chopper paradox in my mind is that a bounty that low wouldn't be worth printing. Every chopper poster made loses the world government money.
