Mock Town

Mock Town is a port inhabited mostly by pirates, despite it looking like a resort. Pirates who dwell here tend judge their level of skill and power based on their assigned bounties, meaning those carrying bounties above average (10-20 Million Berries) are often respected more by the citezens. This likely changed, however, shortly after the Jaya Arc, due to an incident mainly involving the Straw Hats whose only member at that time with a bounty carries 30 million berries. Because of this the crew was first looked down upon and mocked by the locals, completely unaware that a Shichibukai withnessed defeat at the hands of the Straw Hat captain, Monkey D. Luffy very recently, but was denied information by the World Goverment as part of the Alabasta cover-up to hide the fact that this very crew was responsible for bringing down Sir Crocodile's organization. They were also unaware that the crew's first mate is none other than Roronoa Zoro, a fearsome bounty hunter from East Blue. Nevertheless, the goverment still considered the Straw Hats as a serious threat. Thus, forcing them to assign new bounties: Luffy's bounty was increased to 100 million, and gave Zoro a 60 million bounty for defeating Daz Boness (Mr.1) as well as slaying over 100 Baroque Works agents during the Whiskey Peak Arc. By the time the new bounties arrived, it was already too late; just about everyone mocked that very crew the previous day. This freaks everyone out. It is only until then that the leader of the Bellamy Pirates, Bellamy, who also personally led the harrasment on the Straw Hats the other day, concluded that the bounties must be fakes forged by the crew to get him to pay back for what he did earlier. Unfortunately, he was later proved wrong by Luffy himself after accepting the boy's challenge and ended up smashing to the ground face-first. Of course, his crew, quickly realizing that the bounties are indeed genuine, panicked and run. Its highly probable that since that day, the people of Mock Town became more decisive and less aggressive, and tended not to rely to much on the information laid out on bounties anymore, fearing what happened to Bellamy might also occur to in the future.
