Hol up you got it twisted, just because you’re a yonko doesn’t all crews are on par, the WG just needed to fill the gap of another yonko so they can keep the balance. Buggy pirates are the weakest crew though. Beckmann folds mihawk.
No implication of urogue joining yet you said it , well it isn’t confirmed mihawk is the reason he’s a yonko also has barqoue works who’s gotten stronger and croc.
Like I said you’re getting it confused not all yonko crews are equals , just needed for the balance by the WG, buggy has no ponoglyths nothing BBP, Red pirates, SHP are in competition with.
My point, had Beckmann roux yasopp and only just became a yonko six years ago, if crew strength mattered so much why wasn’t he one a decade ago.
Alr it’s not worth it arguing with the mihawk fans on copium rn, this is what happens when you think mihawk>admirals , yonkos and ignoring MF.
Marco was a yonko candidate without WB, is he a top tier? not all yonkos crew are the same strength
I never said just because you're Yonko, it means all your crew is on par.
It means that your crews can all have general competition at around same level, however.
Buggy's crew, without a top tier, has nothing special that makes him comparable to other huge armies with a lot of commanders and the top tier Yonko themselves.
Mihawk fills the top tier spot, and suddenly it's comparable.
Also, being a Yonko candidate doesn't mean shit if you get pummeled by the dude who actually became Yonko. There's why they're candidates, not Yonkos. I don't think those two VA fucks compare to Kizaru or pre-skip Akainu, either.
Again, if you want to downplay Mihawk screaming "he's subordinate of Yonko!" regarding a gag character, then you have to downplay Shanks saying he's equal to Buggy. Which is just ridiculous, and a point you keep ignoring. Your core concept behind the entire argument is a character who holds a position much higher than he is over a gag, and then you think others are coping?
Looking at Buggy's crew, it only strengthens that Mihawk is a solid top tier, because otherwise he the clown logically never, ever be Yonko. His guild might even be weaker than Commanders + executives + armies of other Yonkos, without even the top tier, much less with.
