Dude it was sarcasm, the number is kind of arbitrary. It is a ranking just to give a ranking to the readers, but in the grand scheme of things a person with a 1 mil bounty could beat a 500 mil bounty. Just look at people like Belamy who threw around his number and assumed people would be scared off. He still ranked lower than a child Robin who he could have beat but then gets his butt kicked by Luffy, who a matter of days before went from less to more than Belamy. Luffy cares nothing for bounties of his opponents, why should we. If you have to depend on a bounty to rank people then you depend far too much on the useless things.
