The offices responsible for procuring food and ingredients also faced restrictions on permanent personnel. First was strength: the combined Doriki Value of the three strongest members in an office could not exceed 5,000 in Paradise, 2,000 in the Three Seas, or 500 in the weakest sea, the East Blue.
Although members of the BIG Pirates might not honestly submit to testing, meaning Navy Generals skilled in Observation Haki could only gain a rough understanding and never achieve true precision, this was still the standard they used.
In any case, it was at least more appropriate than judging them by the even less reliable bounty amounts, right?
Even if bounty amounts could currently reflect the strength of BIG Pirates members accurately—which was not actually the case—there was still one issue that could not be ignored:
After the ceasefire, the bounties on BIG Pirates members would no longer change, but their strength, especially that of the younger children, would not remain stagnant either.
Second was numbers. The total number of people in each office, including local employees, could not exceed one hundred. If specific needs required exceeding that limit for a short period, they had to notify Marine Headquarters in advance.
