At this point in the manga people should have realized the "three great powers" in balance were actually only two great powers keeping the balance, Shanks and Mihawk.
Now that the Shichibukai system is gone and Mihawk (unwillingly) entered the game, the WG is basically done for. Which we clearly see. They're fucked.
It's only Mihawk, Shanks, Luffy and BB at this point. Needless to say, the latter two only exist due to MC/MV bonus. The picture was never clearer.
Meme and kaido are basically declared filler placeholders, considering Ray and Gaban didn't destroy them bc they simply chose not to.
Admirals, aka extra obedient random corporate slaves with premium DFs, aren't even variables in this equation.
