Okay, purely a hypothetical discussion I wanted to have but mainly to focus on the concept of an "Ace" in the Beasts Pirates and what this could potentially mean for Yamato. The "Ace" is still a title missing from the Beasts Pirate Hierarchy. As much as we can try and assume its Kaido himself, the character has a title already. Other than this, its very suspicious that Oda didn't top the All-Stars with in Ace, but there is a possibility the "Ace" is not as reliable as you'd think.
Historically, the Ace card was always the weakest card in many European versions of card games (and still is). Then, as things modernized, the Ace became the strongest card in a variety of modern card games. Then on top of this, you have games like Blackjack/Poker where you can choose if the Ace is the highest or lowest value in the game, or Rummy, where both values are used under different circumstances.
So this brings me back to Yamato. If Yamato is of a moderate age (lets say around Luffy's age or slightly older/younger), and this entirely depends on Yamato not being Momonosuke's age range, then being the Ace could actually make sense. Kaido's son could very well have moniker of "Ace", especially if it depends on the circumstances. On one hand and as discussed with the Flying Six, if they brought in Yamato "peacefully" its possible he's not that strong while being calm, being a pretty weak member of the BP. BUT, as he gets angrier or his temper can't be controlled, then he starts lashing out and getting stronger, leading his potential to be "above" King. At this point only his father can deal with him. Basically Banner/Hulk lol. Then he reaches max potential if he uses his devil fruit properly (if he has one).
Its a silly theory at this point, but it at least works within the constraints to HOW we've been introduced to the beasts pirates, as we know the All-Stars (King, Queen, Jack) are Kaido's most trusted subordinates. With the "Ace" being Yamato, it could mean that Kaido's son is unreliable, and Kaido possibly cannot trust someone who's not consistent to be his right-hand (likely King is at this point). But because he is Kaido's son, he likely has the same inhuman strength running through him.
Let me know if this makes sense. Clearly this will either live or die once we know Yamato's age. If he's too young than it may not amount to anything. If he's old enough but looks "weak", take the information above into account.
Tldr: The "Ace" could be the weakest and strongest value in Kaido's crew, and Yamato possibly represents both, being Kaido's flesh and blood, but being super unreliable due to being extremely weak in certain circumstances (possibly while calm, expresses non-violence, etc).
