User blog comment:LordFrz/Luffy's New Bounty/@comment-1812363-20101008001643

Luffy now has the highest (known) bounty in the series! Woooo..

I actually thought he would be higher. I mean..

He busted a World Noble in the face, broke in -and- out of Impel Down, led a massive escape, participated in the Battle of Marineford, saved Ace (technically speaking. He -did- get the dude out of his shackles, and they kicked massive amounts of ass until Akainu), -and- they broke in and out of Marineford afterward.

Not to mention that he's Dragon's son. That probably doesn't help matters.
