Oak's terrifying bounty stunned everyone.
"There has never been such a high bounty in history, has there? Yours is the unprecedented first!"
Robin's years on the run had made her deeply knowledgeable about all kinds of bounties across the seas. Whether current or historical, as long as there was a record, she knew something about it.
But 6.586 billion!
She had never seen such a number. Let alone exceeding 6.5 billion, no one in history had ever even reached 6 billion. This was truly unprecedented.
After hearing that, Oak thought for a moment. What had Rocks's bounty been back then?
He could no longer remember the exact number. He only remembered that it had been lower than his, seemingly not even exceeding 6 billion.
If the Void Century from eight hundred years ago was excluded—after all, there was no way to verify what had happened then, and the World Government had not yet been established—then his bounty was indeed the highest since the World Government's founding.
Still, he did not care much about it. A bounty was just a bounty. Once the number surpassed a certain threshold, it no longer had much practical use; it merely reminded others how dangerous he was.
Take the Four Emperors currently on the seas. Every one of them had bounties of four or five billion, but who would dare go after them for the reward?
Or who could even catch them?
The bounty hunters on the seas could, at most, threaten pirates worth three to five hundred million. Beyond that, bounty hunters were basically helpless. Daring to try was no different from seeking death.
As for the Marines and the World Government, arresting wanted criminals was their duty. Since they were the ones capturing them, the bounty would not end up in their hands
