Yeah right. People were saying that after Enies Lobby. The WG would rather just hide what happened than acknowledge that they can't stop him.

I know one thing. After this little production, Luffy's bounty is going to be easily be in the billions

Probably more like something around the 500-700 mil

Luffy's bounty tripled after Enies Lobby.
I kinda forgot the details on the outcome. I know they hid some info about the incident, like the involvement of all the minor characters, but did they neglect to acknowledge Luffy as the chief offender?

They haven't said a word about Enies Lobby to the public (that we know of). This is the most relevant page I have found in the manga.

Presumably, Shakky is talking about Water 7's newspaper reports. I make that assumption because she specifically says she is "well informed". Also, Justice Kidd speaks of Luffy's past/craziness in terms of rumors:

There are basically two rumors he could be referring to, and only one is as crazy as punching a Tenryubito.

I wouldn't blame Oda for making it seem that way. There are so many other people casuing equal havoc on par with him.
