Luffy had a bounty of 30 million at the time he went through Lougetown, he had spanked three "Big" pirates, all with Bounty's almost at 10k, Arlong's being at 11. But once he did insult the world government and the marines his bounty became triple of what it was before. Deserting your rank and bombing your base would put you on the Governments most wanted. As for the techniques, Like I said, I have no clue what the limits were / are, like you said, Jabber ain't in charge, it comes down to what Dawnstar says. I've not intended for Lance to be stronger than anyone else, quite the opposite, actually.
