The Egghead Arc of One Piece had so much going on in it that it wouldn’t be a surprise if the Straw Hats became an even bigger threat in the eyes of the World Government. This would imply higher bounties for all of them, with some of them valued at an enormous amount, particularly their captain, Monkey D. Luffy, and swordsman, Roronoa Zoro.

Luffy’s current known bounty is valued at 3,000,000,000 berries after his actions on Wano. If it increases further, his bounty would surpass Shanks’ 4,048,900,000 berries. How will his childhood hero and former mentor feel about this potential rivalry?

Shanks might be a mysterious figure but he has always expressed pride in Luffy’s actions, especially with his bounties. In fact, he might hear about the events of Egghead and somehow feel even more pride. We don’t know...
