Maybe Urouge'd bounty was low but one coud assume that because he is from the sky islands that he built up his strength there and since that is not under WG he could fly under the radar. Also just because he is under the radar does not mean he is not strong.

While I agree with you he should not be taken lightly, as all of the supernova shouldn't, but just cause he wasn't scared from the other supernova doesn't really show anything because none of them were scared of eachother. Curious would be a better word. It wasn't until the WG showed up that they all had trouble.

Another thing that needs to be taken into account is that maybe his DF gave him an advantage over the Sweet Commnader. One Piece power levels are almost non existent with people who are considered top tier or well known being taken down by people who aren't. Maybe they met after the Sweet Commander was weakened or maybe his fighting style just happened to be his weakness. Whatever the case Urogue has at least given us a reason to respect him.

Didn't Oda at some point say that he liked Urogure because people never really payed attention to him? Maybe Oda wanted to prove people wrong. Who knows?
