Well, it is the New World after all! It is because the SH's have been inactive, but everyone else has been going around makin the WG sht their pants. I reckon when we get around halfway in the New World, we'll see bounties high above 500,000,000. But fear not! Once the SH's defeat Smoker, kill that gas dude and kick laws butt, their bounties will skyrocket again ;-)
