I don't have any issues with the bounty, I'm just not impressed by it. But when I think about WHY I'm not impressed, its as people say: the number isn't everything. Not only is the number not everything, its DEFINITELY not strength. Its not JUST threat level. It isn't just connections. Its some random clusterfuck algorithm that only Oda knows. Thus, as you say, it really might as well just be an arbitrary value as far as we're concerned.

I will admit though that there does at least some to be SOME logic in regards to the psychological profile. We know that Kaido is a warmongerer, and seems to be moved by little else other than starting a world war. It'd make sense that he'd recruit like-minded people. So Jack being a deranged lunatic that just likes to watch things burn is perfectly fitting. They're not the type of Pirates who go places and make nice. At the end of the day the most important thing you have to remember is that Luffy/Ace/Shanks are very atypical pirates. There's a reason pirates have the reputation they do throughout the world. Yes, Luffy has given the World Government a LOT of personal fuck yous, but he's done GOOD in every country he's gone too. He's cleaned up a lot of messes that they could never actually stick their hands in, and more importantly he's proven time and time again that he's not out to hurt people. Yes he raided Enies Lobby, but technically it was the Marines who destroyed it....yes he raided Impel Down and escaped with some pretty notorious people, but he escaped with the "good" ones (save Buggy lol). It was Blackbeard who really released horror upon the world. So if Jack's a guy who will kills civilians and destroy countries left and right, I guess I can understand him being a higher priority target and worth more money. Nothing to do with strength. He's actually going to end up being yet another mess Luffy cleans up for the WG.
