We just now know that Being an Emperor is more because of influence and your crew based of Buggy becoming a Yonko i think its obvious now

... But they already joined the Alliance even when they had a lower bounty than Luffy. This line of though doesn't make any sense considering Law's previous bounty was 500 million and Luffy's was 1.5 billion.
Which is more of a travesty considering Law got a 600% increase while Luffy's bounty only doubled.
Knowing current Oda, I think he's just trying to portray them as equal to Luffy, rather than the WG downplaying him (why would they downplay Luffy and then skyrocket his allies' bounty by 600%?).

If your referring to Law and Kidd when you say “allies”. How on Earth does boosting the bounties of people Luffy is allied to, contradict the notion of the WG downplaying luffy. The narrative of them hiding Luffy’s exploits has literally been going on as far back as Alabasta.

At least I've learned not to get hyped up about these things now that I know they can put whatever ******* value they want and not the one they deserve. It's not like Luffy is going to do anything from now on, I don't get the point of downplaying his bounty now and not before.
Bounties have become worthless in both narrative and as a way of expressing power now that they are not authentic to the level of threat of the person they represent.

corruption.
Unsure as to whether they have or have not downplayed his bounty before, but they have 100% downplayed his feats. Presuming you are correct, its likely because his fruit has awakened, so he is a far more polarising figure. They hid the antics of the prior Joyboy for a reason.

but wasn't apoo with someone(fighting, running, just busy) during g5 vs kaido...so its gotta be a cp3 agent. (also better be a unseen picture of g5, as in different from any panel image of g5)

As others said, the WG wants to try to somewhat play down the threat of Luffy into a team effort rather than him getting a 5 Billion bounty, Law a 2.8 Billion bounty, and Kidd a 2 Billion bounty, for example.
Also, previously Law had an agenda by tagging along with Luffy, and Kidd was only a very begrudging ally due to hating Kaidou. They would not appreciate feeling slighted if they are going to continue to help out.

He was inside the castle while Luffy was on the roof, it couldn't be.
I guess the only survivor could have gotten an image from a device we don't know about, but it's rather bizarre considering Luffy is going to stay in base form most of the time and they're supposedly trying to downplay him and hide his awakening.
What would people think if they saw a transformed Luffy.

Luffy’s head was slammed down into the interior of Onigashima, could be a photo like that

Honestly, I think it’s just Kaido + Big Mom’s combined bounties (8,999,100,000) divided by 3 and rounded up. Then they’ll each get something like ‘orchestrated the defeat of two Yonko.’
Edit: Did not realise other people in this thread already thought of that.

Exactly. The WG is trying to be tactical.

no shade to anyone, but most reasonable user in this thread gotta be you. also the d riding was insane for 4.5b+ bounties and once everything was set in stone the d riding shifted.

We have to admit that Kaido was worn down by about a dozen people before his final fight with Luffy.

I am not so sure. Kaido was not shown to be tired, and had periods of rest in-between.

My explanation above wasn't cope. Though I don't exactly agree, I genuinely couldn't care less about them being equal if I tried.
