#that's still higher than jinbe's bounty so i. don't think it needs to be any higher than that honestly

I decided to do some bounty headcanoning~

Due to the fact the World Noble she was in possession of more or less considered her to be his prized possession and most valuable slave, combined with the humiliation of her escaping under his nose, years later he’s still very bitter and still wants her back, be it as a slave (preferably) or a corpse.

Much like how Judge was able to manipulate the bounty system as the leader of a member nation of the World Government to manipulate its conditions to “Only Alive,” due to being a World Noble with tremendous influence by default, her bounty has also been oddly affected as well.

Bounties in the world of OP say “dead or alive” but can lose up to 30% of the bounty if the person is dead due to the World Government not being able to publicly execute them or keep them in Impel Down; while this is still true for Seiko, who’s wanted dead or alive, as extra incentive for her to be captured alive and likely face a fate war worse than dying, there is a bonus in her bounty if she’s returned alive, which is usually the previous bounty listed on her profile page.

While it could still be lower, out of all the bounties I have listed, I like to imagine her beginning bounty is listed at $777,000. As such, turning her in alive would result in a bonus of $77,700: essentially making her real bounty $854,700. If her listed bounty is $120,777,000 (likely after the Battle of Marineford), then her bonus is $777,000, making it really worth $121,554,000. And ultimately, if its $377,700,000, a bonus of $120,777,000 for a grand total of $498,477,000 if returned alive: just shy of the 500 million I said I don’t wanna go over! Of course, the bonus only applies if returned alive and 30% of the original is lost if she’s turned in dead.

This bonus comes from the World Nobles’ own pocket and he’s willing to pay up to $777 million (St. Charlos very casually threw away 500 million in the slave trade to which his father bemoaned wasting money, so I want to imagine even this is somewhat pricey for a World Noble, although i’m sure they have a ton more) in bonuses for her return for the sake of his vengeance, but that’s the most he’s willing to pay for it.
