 Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, your source for everything One Piece. Recently some mildly interesting information has popped up in the form of a partially leaked article from V-Jump, which is a monthly publication that focuses on video game-based manga. But for whatever reason, in this edition we have a section on the one true manga, One Piece. And before I launch into it, I first need to give all credit to the Library of Ohara, who translated the leaked portion of the article, and there will be a link to him in the description below. But it's some pretty big stuff here, as it deals with the bounties of the Yonko. First up, the article poses a lovely little question, which is, what are the bounties of the Yonko? Hmm, intriguing. Immediately going on to state that the two monstrous individuals known as Big Mom and Kaito are priced at over two billion. Now we should take everything here with a healthy dose of skepticism, because this was not written by Oda himself. But it would have had to have been approved by him, so with that in mind, it seems to be quite implied that Big Mom and Kaito have bounties of less than three billion berries. And that would very much place them within Blackbeard range, which makes some sense I guess. But I need to stress that we cannot take any fact from such an implication. It is entirely possible that both of them have bounties of over three billion, but the only thing we know for sure is that they are over two billion. But next we have what is by far the most interesting portion to me concerning a certain shanks. And I'll read the translation word for word here, because it is of great semantic importance. Despite being the only Yonko not to have a devil fruit, he's powerful enough to easily fight against marine admiral level. His bounty is the number one highest. So despite a little fumble with the English language there, this is a pretty huge bombshell. First up in one fell swoop of a random article, out goes every theory in existence on shanks having a devil fruit. Which is a shame because there were some pretty cool ideas out there, but here we are. He's just a regular old dude bra and don't let anybody tell you otherwise. I think that while I very much did enjoy the mystery of shanks and whether or not he was a fruit user being up in the air, it's nice to know for a fact that he's just a complete beast in his own right. The justification for his strength in this article is that he is able to fight against a marine admiral. And to that I say that's a pretty terrible measure of strength. I mean admiral are terrifyingly strong beings, don't get me wrong. But not even three of them plus the rest of the entirety of the marines were able to take down a single Yonko. So you'd figure that another Yonko should be able to take on an admiral. But just on this topic, the library of Ohara himself spoke on this matter telling us to keep in mind that what's written here is very vague, offering that the translation could more pragmatically be masterfully matched or something along those lines. I don't know though it still feels a lot like saying that Luffy is powerful enough to masterfully match Don Krieg. You know it's just a weird thing to say. Although I guess when you think about it they don't have a lot of options to compare shanks to. I guess they could have said he was powerful enough to masterfully match another Yonko. But that's pretty redundant given his position as a Yonko. So hey admirals why not? Actually you know what it might even be a direct reference to when shanks confronted Sakazuki at Marineford. And as for the final portion where it states that shanks bounty is the number one highest, well now that's pretty massive isn't it? Given that we know so little about shanks I've never really tried to put him on a bounty or power scale in comparison to that of the other Yonko. But prior to today if someone had put a gun to my head and told me to rank the Yonko by bounty value I probably would have put shanks below both Whitebeard and Kaido. But this little revelation has given me renewed interest in older red hair. You must be quite something to be considered more dangerous than these absolute monsters we've been examining recently in the series. But hey I suppose it's entirely possible that he knows where Raftel is so there's that. That's uh pretty important and stuff. But before people jump to conclusions regarding the wording of shanks's bounty being the number one highest let's take a moment to reflect on how incredibly vague this wording is. Yes it could mean that shanks has the highest bounty in the entire one piece world which would conflict with the previously conceived notion that that title would belong to Dragon being the most wanted man in the world. I mean I guess the most wanted may not necessarily mean the highest priced but I'm more inclined to believe that through the context of the article it is implying that shanks's bounty is number one amongst the Yonko rather than the highest in the world at large. Interestingly enough Luffy also gets a little feature of his own in this article and while he is called the newest emperor of the sea a question mark is strategically placed at the end of that statement implying that as we suspected his position isn't exactly confirmed yet. Some people consider him an emperor others don't like Blackbeard. Speaking of he also does appear in the article but his segment isn't on this leak. So there is entirely possibly a ton of information to come out when the publication is officially released and if anything is relevant then I'll be sure to keep you all informed.
