Like we know shanks became a yonko only within the past 6 years so what if he was tbe one to take out shiki to get his position. With then blackbeard taking out whitebeard and now luffy kid and law about to take down kaido and linlin
Teach and shanks taking out the 2 biggest names other than roger during the golden era and being the 2 biggest names of their generation. Them even interesting something from their captains. Shanks his hat and probably the way he fights. Teach his nickname and one of his devil fruit tho through obviously more evil ways
Luffy kid and law the biggest names of the next generation taking out kaido and linlin the strongest left from the old gen
- So yeah roger defeating xebec lead to him replacing him as the new main man around and rise of newgate, shiki, kaido, and linlins own crews
- Hypothetically shanks defeating a yonko shiki might've been how he became one. We don't really have any clue what could happen to his crew as we barely know anything about shiki himself
- Teach defeating newgate lead teach taking his position and fall of the whitebeard pirates. Something that might've lead to aces rise had he not died
- Luffy defeating kaido will 100% prove to the world hes definitely worthy of the yonko title and more with people having to take him more seriously than ever before. Potentially yamato starting their own crew if not becoming a strawhat
- Kid and law taking down linlin will show how outside of luffy they are really the ones with most potential to lead the next gen of piracy. With katakuri taking as new head of the family and maybe wci if the responsibility along with others isn't split up between siblings
- Roger while not a rocks pirate was in the same gen. With him turning himself in and not defeated no one took his spot but did lead to shanks and buggy starting their own crews
