Based off of the BMP, RHP, and BP, the Straw Hats now seem to parallel the top 10 members of a Yonko crew, which are essentially the “core” members.
At #1, you have the captain, who is in a league of their own (BM/Kaido/Shanks/Luffy)
At #2-4, you have the top 3 commanders, who are a league above everyone else, but below the captain (Sweet Generals, Lead Performers, Beckman/Roo/Yasopp, and Zoro/Sanji/Jinbe aka the new monster trio)
At #5-10, you have the elite officers of the crews, who are a league below the commanders, but a league above the next best members (BM’s 4 Vets + Snack and Streusen, the Tobi Roppo, Shanks 6 other main men, and the other 6 SHs)
I don't get why everyone forces parellelism on everything. Every Yonko crew is different and unique in their own way.
The Goat Crew was Rocks, but they had a ton of internal issues:
Rox
*Big Mom, WB, and Shiki all in their primes, basically later became Yonkos
*Kaido as an appentice
*Other big names
From what we know of Roger's crew, not as strong as Rocks and maybe even Shiki's, but very loyal and close like Luffys:
*Roger
*Rayleigh
*Scopper
*Oden
*Shanks as appentrice
Whitebeard, very large crew + tons of allies, but no one seems close to Whitebeard in strength:
*16 captains of varying strength including Marco, Ace, Vista, and Jozu
*Blackbeard
Shanks, we hardly know anything other than very high average strength:
*Shanks
*3 commanders Ben Beckman, Yassop, Fat drumstick guy
Big Mom, tons and tons are capable fighters. In terms of quantity x quality, she might be the best:
*Llinlin
*4 commanders: Katakuri, Smoothie, Cracker, Snack
*tons of experienced heavy weights: Daifaku, Oven, Willy Wonka, mini big mom, a bunch of named sons and daughters
Kaido, very top heavy. After calamities, not much out there:
*Kaido
*3 calamities: King, Queen, Jack
*6 flying six (3 of whom are not loyal): Drake(Marines spy), Whos who (forced in), Sasaki (forced in), Black Maria, Paypay, Ulti
*Numbers
*Appo (questionable loyalty)
Blackbeard, 10 commanders, all seeming pretty ruthless and powerful, however loyalty uncertain, similar to rox pirates:
*Blackbeard
*10 commanders
Luffy, very small crew, overall not much pure strength, but lots of utility:
*Luffy
*Zoro
*Jinbei
*Sanji
*skilled non-fighters each having a unique skill like reading poneglypths or nagivating or Pluton level shipbuilding
If you look at the structure, they hardly resemble each other at all. You're digging for 1 for 1 paralellism when it's not there
