Oh they almost definitely know that she hasn't aged in forever, if they've got more than one picture of her, they know that. What I mean is that they probably don't know about the actual power of the hobi hobi no mi, since no victim has ever escaped until now, and since it erases memory.

But as I said, regardless of whether or not they did know, they will now.

And DM, you really don't seem to get how the WG works. They don't make allowances for pirates who "did them a favour". The SH pirates may have taken out a great threat to the world, but that just proves that they are a potentially greater threat than Doffy was. They're not going to think, "Gee, what a swell bunch of fellas. We ought to lower their bounties." They're going to think, "These guys took out a shichibukai, a former noble, and a country's king. They made us look like fools by revealing his treachery after 10 years under our watch, and then they made us look powerless by taking him out before we could. They're not only strong, but the sway they've earned with the citizens could lead to dissent among neighbouring nations. They must be destroyed."

This is not going to have anything to do with the SH pirates' intentions, nor will it have anything to do with the good that they've done for the world, for the citizens of Dressrosa, OR for the WG itself. They're a threat. It's that simple.

The only way I could see this affecting their bounties negatively is if the WG decides that the disgrace of hunting someone widely hailed as a hero (potentially turning him into a kind of living martyr, and compromising themselves in the eyes of the world) is greater than the threat of insurrection that they might incite otherwise. Which is unlikely.
