It's simple first after the straw hats have trounced all over CP9 and most of the world government officials at Enies lobby, THEY WILL COVER IT UP. If they could prevent anyone in Alabasta from saying anything about that whole thing I think they can prevent a few of their men from saying anything about this. Next The World Government will postpone the search for the new shichibukai until they can take care of Luffy. To do this they will probably call on all 6 of the current Schichibukai to attend a meeting at their head offices in one of the major oceans. At this meeting they will explain to all of the Schichibuaki exactly what happened at the Enies Lobby "Incident" as they will probably call it. If this explanation has not already inspired the schichibukai to do so, they will then have the schichibukai take whatever means neccessary to find and eliminate every member of the straw hats. Finally because of the correspondence that we already know Shanks and mihawk have with each other Mihawk will contact Shanks who will then proceed to hunt down Luffy along with his crew. At this point it will really just be many confrontations until either the straw hats reach the final island or until Shanks meets up with them and at that point I don't know what will happen because I can only make that guess after knowing what happens in the meeting. Oh yea also it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY Luffy's bounty will increase too much, think about it they spent at most a week on Alabasta, after this they spent maybe twoo weeks on the ocean before getting to Jaya Island. They spent 2-3 days on Jaya, then went up to the white and white-white oceans and spent MAYBE a total of like 3 days there. After getting back to the blue sea they spent probably a few more days traveling before reaching the island with the Davy back fight. The spent LESS than a day here and then spent a few more days traveling before reachibng the train station. The next day the had reached water 7 and since then it has not been more than ONE entire day.All in all this means it has been only around 1.5 - 2.5 months since Luffy's bounty was increased, changing it again by ALOT so quickly would draw ALOT of unwanted attention and would make it very hard for them to cover up the Enies Lobby "Incident". So the fact is this is what will probably happen, maybe not right away but it will eventually so all we have to do is wait and see how Enies Lobby plays out overall, and then we will see what direction the fate of the straw hats is headed in.
