it ' s because of our capitalist economy and being raised to believe that moneysuccess <| sep |> Ace was a pirate for only 3 years , I ' d say 550 million is a pretty good accomplishment . The top commanders in the WB crew seem to be Marco , Jozu and Vista , then Ace . Bounties don ' t indicate strength . They do to some extent but if there ' s a 200 million for example difference between 2 Yonko commanders that doesn ' t necessarily mean anything . It just means that the other one does more shit that drives up your bounty more cause you ' re a bigger threat to general safety among citizens . An example of this would be destroying cities and killing civilians like Jack does . I ' d estimate Marco ' s bounty to be anywhere from 900 million to 1 , 2 billion . He for sure doesn ' t cause as much carnage as Jack but he could be stronger and being the first mate of the strongest Yonko surely rises your bounty by a bit . Jozu is probably in the 800 million to 1 billion range and Vista in the 700 million to 900 million range .
