 Hello and welcome to the Grand Line review or source for everything one piece and today it is time for a sequel video because you all seem to really enjoy my examination of Luffy's true bounty so now we're going to do the same for Zora. And just to once again define what we're looking for here, a true bounty would be the number that the character would be worth if the world government took everything we knew about said character into consideration. So for example with Luffy there were some massive increases because the world government were unaware of his defeat of Anel and they actively ignored his defeat of Gekko Moria so it was not to alarm the general public too much. But in reality they are both feats that very much should have added to the threat of Luffy and Zoro has a similar slew of feats albeit on a more vice captainly level so I'm very interested to see if his current bounty of 320 million berries will hold. But before we get into it it's time to play another quick round of bounty guess or a very simple minigame. Basically I'm going to give you an obscure character and a bounty number and it is then your job to guess where that character's bounty is higher or lower than the number I've stated and if you are wrong then your punishment will be subscribing to the Grand Line review and if you're correct then well done you. You get a pat on the head. But our characters today are going to be the Yeti Kool Brothers and the number I'm assigning both of them is 50 million berries. To be clear that is a combined bounty. So please do select whether you think the bounty of the Yeti Kool Brothers is higher or lower than 50 million berries and we will reveal the answer in three two one and the answer is lower. The Yeti Kool Brothers have a bounty of 20 million berries each which brings their total to a mere 40 million so if you said higher then welcome to the Grand Fleet and please do say high in the comments below if you're a new recruit. But moving on to Zoro's true bounty this time we are going to begin in Shellstown and this is something I actually overlooked with Luffy but in the end I don't think it would have made a huge if any difference but it is important that we recognize that Luffy and Zoro were effectively responsible for bringing down an entire base of marines and defeating Axehand Morgan which technically Zoro was the one to deliver that final blow to Morgan so that makes it much more important. And in the series Luffy and Zoro were not reported due to Morgan's men actually being happy with his defeat but we do need to consider it here. The invasion of a marine base and the defeat of a captain is a bounty worthy action but given how weak Morgan actually was we are going to start with quite a small bounty of five million berries for Zoro here a pretty awesome debut appearance though. And from here we can skip Orange Town because yes Zoro did defeat Kambaji there but he was not a pirate worthy of any notice he didn't even have bounty of his own so it's unlikely that he would have gotten an increase there. Syrup Village however is an entirely different situation all together because here Zoro was responsible for defeating the Miao Band Brothers also known as Sham and Buchi and surprisingly these two are notable opponents because this is one of the rare occasions in one piece where we have a dual bounty being issued together Sham and Buchi are worth a whopping least small seven million berries but that number is still higher than Zoro's current bounty so the defeat of this duo is going to raise Zoro's prominence quite significantly and by quite significantly I mean to about 10 million berries which given his display of dominance over the two I think is a pretty fair number. Moving forward now we can do the unthinkable and skip RRTA because all that happens here is Zoro losing to Mihawk a very very important character moment but not at all important from the perspective of numbers so we're going to skip to our long park where Zoro's key opponent would be Hachan and we do know that Hachan was and actually may still be worth eight million berries a number which Zoro already trumps with his 10 million so it's probably fine to stay as is for now because in terms of numbers nothing really unexpected happened here this does change quite a bit though as we move to Zoro's next prominent outing which would be Whisky Peak and this is pretty massive actually because here Zoro not only managed to defeat 100 Borokwurks bounty hunters all on his own but he's also responsible for the defeat of Gem and Mikita more commonly known as Mr. Five and Ms. Valentine and if you wanted to get really specific and we do Zoro was the one who won shot Mr. Five and the reason why that's important here is because Mr. Five happened to have a bounty of 10 million berries at the time which is exactly where Zoro currently lands at so we've certainly got to go higher but we've actually got to go much higher because we've got a bit of a Luffy style situation happening by which I mean when the Marines were assigning Luffy's first can and bounty they took into account the three bounties of those whom Luffy had defeated and basically they then put Luffy in a league of his own far far above them and now Zoro has a bit of a similar thing going having beaten the Meowban brothers Hachan and Mr. Five all of whom have bounties within three million berries of each other and as a result of that I'm just going to flat out double Zoro's current count to 20 million because there is just such a clear distinction between him and the 10 million and below levels of opponent that's not all though because I can't ignore the defeat of what is essentially 100 trained assassins including Miss Monday Miss Wednesday Mr. Nine and Mr. Eight because that is a pretty damn beastly effort and I don't think it's worth any less than another 10 million on top which makes Zoro's total bounty 30 million at this point equal to that of Luffy at the time which is very fun because guess what else happens during Whiskey Peak that's right the often forgotten about Luffy versus Zoro a brief skirmish where both combatants appear to be quite even and I think it's very nice that the bounty numbers reflect that now after that we can pretty much move directly to alabaster because Little Garden and Drum Island didn't see a whole lot of action for Zoro alabaster though contains arguably Zoro's most famous fight in the series against Mr. One which in canon resulted in his debut bounty of 60 million berries so we've already accrued half of that at this stage and the difficult question becomes where do we land post stars bones and this is tricky because we don't actually know how much stars bones was worth at the time according to the vivier card data book he has bounty of 75 million berries but it's implied that that is his post time skip bounty after having reunited with crocodile and doing whatever they've been getting up to in the new world so what we need to do here is examine the motivation of the world government in assigning Zoro's alabaster bounty because in this case I don't think that Zoro was awarded a number simply for defeating Dar's bones I think it was because he was also a known associate of Monkey D Luffy who at this point had taken down Sir Crocodile a warlord of the sea so the precedent I'm going to use here is the established model that actually occurred during the dress rose rock where most of the straw hats and their allies received a flat increase just due to being associated with Luffy and that increase was 50 million berries which may be quite a lot for Zoro on his own but combined with the defeat of Dar's bones I think that's a very fair number to add to him bringing his post alabaster bounty to a mighty 80 million berries still trailing his captain but a much more accurate representation of how much of a threat Zoro is now jumping past Jaya we find ourselves on skypeer where Zoro does a fair few notable things particularly his defeat of Braham and Ohm only the latter of which is I guess particularly relevant and Zoro also got to display some particularly beastly durability being one of the few non-rubber people capable of tanking two blasts of lightning from an L and scaling this is troublesome because sure Ohm was an L's arguably most powerful priest with a pretty phenomenal mastery basic observation harky as well but his defeat really isn't anything worthy of a massive increase nor is his performance against an L at the same time though neither of which can be ignored because post skypeer Zoro was demonstrably more of a threat than say alabaster Zoro and given the bounties are designed to measure threat I'm going to say that Zoro scores an extra 10 million a piece for his achievements here which means a 20 million increase overall leaving him on a nice round 100 million berries post skypeer now after this we can move swiftly through Long Ring Longland and water seven to land straight in any slobby where canonically Zoro received his second bounty increase which put him at 120 million berries except this time we're all fully close to that number already so we will certainly be going beyond it and the thing about any slobby to remember is that the defeat of CP9 only played partly into the bounty allocations the bulk of it had more to do with the idea that the straw hats had invaded and destroyed any slobby which is why the entire crew was recognized afterwards and in Zoro's case the whole government very simply doubled his bounty from 60 to 120 million and I really don't think it's too much out of the question to do the same with our number the problem with landing closer to the canonical 120 is that at this point it's such a pitifully irrelevant increase from 100 million and doesn't accurately represent Zoro's increased threat level due to now having defeated member of CP9 and also being the right hand man of the pirate captain who destroyed the judicial island so here we're going to follow the canon trend and double Zoro's bounty to 200 million berries which once again I think is fairly accurate no arc skipping this time around though because Thriller Bark is always a fun one the defeat of Gekko Moria and his crew is a tale that the world will never know as it was completely covered up by the world government so in this case the straw hats were actively ignored which is something that we cannot do and on Thriller Bark Zoro's major battle would have been against the zombified reama and at this point I don't think that's wildly relevant I'd be much more concerned with his role in combat against doors Moria and even Bartholome Kuma so for Zoro Thriller Bark is strictly an event related increase a warlord of the sea was defeated and Zoro helped good on him so this is another situation where he gets assigned helpers fee which will be another 50 million the established Dressroser number and I think that makes sense because they were very similar situations each thing the defeated for warlord of the sea so that sees Zoro leaving the Florian Triangle with a 250 million berry bounty and now we come to an awkward collective of arcs for the straw hats while the straw hats by Luffy anyway Zoro doesn't see any increase from Saabadi and he isn't present going forward with Amazon Lily and Poldown and Marineford which means we need to head straight to the post timescape era albeit with one super super piece of important information and that would be the fact that Zoro spent two years training under the guidance of the world's greatest swordsman Dracule Mihal and this is probably going to lead to our single greatest bounty increase in the video this is a crucial event that led to the Zoro we knew today the difference in power between pre and post timescape Zoro is completely absurd and that's before we even take into account the addition of basic observation and armitaki and to put this into a tangible example Zoro went from a man who was at best able to make a shallow cut into a pacifista to a man who was able to one shot a pacifista and having been trained by a man who is widely considered to be on an even playing field with an emperor of the sea is pretty serious business and if the world government knew that there was a mini me hawk roaming the seas I suspect that they would probably shit themselves and while I don't think they would quite jump to one billion I do believe that tripling his current 250 to 750 million berries is a perfectly reasonable thing to do if anything it might even be a bit of a conservative estimate but then again if we consider other characters in this playing field like say Charlotte Paris Barrow who commands a bounty of 700 million I really don't think that 750 is a wild amount to represent the threat of Zoro and yes I know Paris Barrow's bounty is not solely based on combat but also the influence he holds within the big man pirates but what Zoro lacks in influence he makes up for with the royal power threat to fishman island now and we have another event Zoro's opponents here are more or less meaningless so a power increases off the table however the defeat of a 100 000 member pirate crew and being close associate of Luffy who is now BFFs with an ancient weapon still does manage to increase Zoro's threat level and in Luffy's true bounty video this was the point where he reached one billion mostly due to the ancient weapon factor which for him was a 300 million increase now for Zoro we're going to tone that down to a 100 million increase and my reasoning here is that because in the grand scheme of things what happened on fishman island is actually far more of a threat to the world government than the defeat of any singular warlord maybe with the exception but as we know by now the defeat of a warlord has a 50 million helpers fee attached so we are going to recognize that and double Zoro's reward here to 100 million now placing him at 850 million berries now Pankaza doesn't see any increase because the threat levels don't really change as a result although I think you could make the argument that they should because of the pirate alliance between Luffy and lore but that information was made public and nothing was done so there's also not much we can do about it dress Rosa is a different story though during the sake we took down our third warlord of the sea and canonically Zoro's bounty was given a flat 200 million increase to 320 million and this is very interesting because it clearly was not as a result of just defeating pica because pica's bounty was the rather awkward 99 million berries and it also wasn't just as a result of Zoro being on dress Rosa because he received four times the bounty of everyone else who got the 50 million helpers fee this was the world government trying to catch up with Zoro's perceived threat and as a result I don't think we can give him that much of an increase here because we've already compensated for it however half of that does seem quite reasonable 100 million berries which elevate Zoro as a more major player than everyone else who received the flat 50 million because Zoro is far more of a threat it's just as simple as that which brings him to a tantalizing 950 million berries post-dress Rosa which leaves us in another tricky area because our next major event would be whole cake island an arc that Zoro was not present for and a really weird one because it only resulted in a bounty increase for Luffy and Sanji despite the fact that Nami, Brooke and Chopper were also present and despite the fact that the straw hats who were not on dress Rosa also received a bounty increase just via their association with Luffy it's always been a strange moment and it's made me wonder if the others were increased and just not seen but at the same time Sanji quite proudly brags about his cannon bounty being higher than Zoro so I guess not but it doesn't make sense with the established world government methodologies and when it comes down to it being the right hand man of a pirate who is now known as the fifth emperor of the sea who also just came out of a successful skirmish with another emperor makes Zoro more of a threat by default much more of a threat and so we're going to scale him accordingly with another 100 million association fee bringing his true bounty to this point in the series up to 1 billion and 50 berries but sadly this is the point where we need to end things because we've now hit one and I think we're in a pretty accurate area Zoro is now numerically equitable to many commander types and to be honest I still think this number is a bit conservative and not quite indicative of Zoro's true threat but with the accomplishments we have to work with 1 billion and 50 berries is much closer to Zoro's true bounty but what do
