🚨 Why Do They Have Bounties Already?
Primary Trigger: Khalifa's betrayal of the World Government (CP9 defection) immediately flagged Kaito's crew as high-profile threats.
Second Trigger: Their consistent clash with Marine-affiliated chefs and interactions with Enel's former territories.
Straw Hat Connection: Marines are now actively monitoring them due to frequent encounters with Luffy's crew, raising their global attention.
Sky Island Discovery: Kaito's crew's ability to access hidden sky routes and conquer sealed Sky Ruins threatens the balance of power.
🔥 Why Is Luffy Already at Admiral Level?
Pre-Time Skip Luffy – Canon Strength:
By Enies Lobby, Luffy with Gear Second and Gear Third could already briefly fight CP9's strongest (Lucci), who is around Vice Admiral level.
His natural battle instincts, rubber body, and Haki potential placed him near the top of the Supernova rookies.
In This Story:
Luffy is even more motivated because of the direct rivalry with Kaito's fast-growing crew.
This rivalry forces Luffy and his crew to train more seriously even before the official time skip.
Why is Luffy Admiral level now?
Luffy's Gear Second and Gear Third mastery accelerated.
He began exploring his Conqueror's Haki earlier because of the Kaito rivalry.
Consistent clashes with Kaito's crew pushed Luffy to grow faster and smarter in battle.
Luffy's unique battle evolution always explodes under pressure and competition.
By this point:
Luffy can already seriously threaten Vice Admirals.
His raw potential + near-Conqueror's awakening + fast Haki foundation places him right at the lower end of Admiral-level.
He's not equal to Akainu or Kizaru yet, but his power is now being monitored by the Marines as a potential future Admiral-level threat.
