To be honest, it wasn't all that surprising aside for a few things. Because things like the Rocks were hinted at long before this chapter, such as Kaido and Big Mom being on the same crew, and Whitebeard being on another big crew years before starting his own. This this chapter just confirmed it was all the same crew, and Shiki was also a part of it. Which essentially means that Roger was only legendary pirate from that era that not on the crew.

Now, the bounties were another thing that was surprising, but to be honest, I pretty much guess Shanks on the nose, the only problem is I assumed Kaido and Big Mom were lower than him. That was because I did not know Shanks only becamse a Yonko 6 years ago, which means 4 years before the start of the series. Which kind of blows my mind, because that means that "one-armed" Shanks became a Yonko, and begs to question if his two-armed state wasn't already Yonko level, what happened between 12 years ago, when he met Luffy, and 6 years ago when he became a Yonko? Did he eat an OP Fruit? Did he gain new levels of Haki? The implications are crazy. Either way, this strongly implies that current one-armed Shanks is stronger than he was with two arms 12 years ago.

Still, I didn't antipcate Kaido and Big Mom getting bounties that high. Roger I actually did think was like B$5-5.5 Billion, Whitebeard was surprising too, because I thought Roger's bounty was so high because he was the Pirate King, so the fact that Whitebeard's was so close was surprising considering he was just a Yonko. Still, it makes sense that the Yonko are multi-billion bounties, because some of their commanders are billions on their own and traditionally a pirate boss in One Piece will not be outdone by the combined bounties of their top commanders.

For example, if you add Pica, Trebol, and Diamante's bounties together you get a bounty lower than Doflamingo. The same for Big Mom and Kaido. The only real exception to this rule is Crocodile and Mr. 1/Mr. 2/Mr. 3. But this is because Crocodile's bounty was frozen and underrated, because the WG stated that if they knew he ran Baroque Works, his bounty would have been B$100 million more than it was. Meaning he would have been higher than Mr. 1/Mr. 2/Mr. 3 combined in such a situation.

I also found the SSG reval to be funny because I'm a DBZ fan so I kept reading it as Super Saiyan God. XD
