I don't think it was known his connection/purely due to that, and he had no problem killing that other bounty head who had a 42 mil, and thought a 30 mil like Luffy would be easy.
I think he got that high for killing off a string of pirates with sizable bounty heads like we saw him doing.
Genjutsu could give him the win against some scrubs but it would pose no real threat to the big dawgs of OPverse. Keep in mind East Blue was the weakest of the seas. Sasuke would not be that fast in OP.
Mind resistance and power can be separate though, Luffy's highly vulnerable for example.
And keep in mind, the 'big dawgs' are like 2 dozen people across an entire planet. They aren't very common.
Nah, physically he can be compared to Arlong, only with a few more powers, but he would not amount to much compared to some of the stronger crews and pirates out there.
A lot more powers. He's faster than Arlong, his burn-anything fire'll kill a lot of even really powerful foes (he'd be a threat to some Logia users), and Kirin is at least comparable to Enel's normal blasts that were one-shotting very powerful warriors (though much less than Enel's really big attacks of course).
All that in one package, especially one that's not adverse to assassination, is going to translate into a high bounty.
Keep in mind when I said "not very high" I meant not only because they are not particularly strong, they pose no real threat to the World Government. Neither have a crew, and Sasuke as he is right now prolly would not be able to get one to join him (Unless he goes the Don Krieg route and intimidates weaklings),
Sasuke could as assassin and be a threat that way. How many kings would be safe from Sasuke? Also either could go around smashing military bases in the four Blues easily (for their own reasons- Naruto for justice, Sasuke if he felt they had to be eliminated), or even major ones if no-one major is present (picture Enes Lobby when CP9 is away on a mission. There's no-one that could prevent them from offing any target there).
If they wanted to be a threat, they could be.
Sasuke has both the Don Krieg route, and promising himself as a way to power/to help others get their revenge or other goals, similar to what Madara and Orochimaru did for him, or how he got Suigetsu.
I'd think they could get at least in the 100mil range, *maybe* 200mil, they're more dangerous than Bege and the other weaker supernovas.
Naruto could prolly get some to join him though, but in powah he would never be able to reach the upper echelons of OPverse, hell, not even Strawhat level.
I think he's stronger than most of the Strawhats.
