Convince me otherwise.
Current Straw Hats (no Law, no Kidd, no samurais, no minks, no Grand Fleet) vs Beast Pirates (no Big Mom, no samurais, no CP 0).
Straw Hats already won.
Kaido gets stalled forever by Nika's ridiculous endurance.
Zoro already knows King's mechanic, he can defeat King faster then clean Veterans then continue to help Luffy.
Sanji now has enough AP to bring down Queen faster then continue to stomp Veterans and other fodders.
Jinbe vs Jack.
Franky beats Sasaki then clean fodders.
Robin beats Maria then clean fodders.
Who's who, Ulti, Page One got cleaned by Zoro and Sanji. Zoro one shot WsW and Ulti, Sanji defeats Page One.
Chopper, Brook, Nami, Usopp help and protect each other against WsW, Ulti, Page One until reinforcements came, then they help clean fodders.
Current Straw Hats is already > Beast Pirates.
Yamao is not needed.

Chopper may even defeat either WSW or Page One while defending himself with Nami, Brook, Usopp.

Narratively speaking, the new powerhouse should join at Fishman Island arc or Dressrosa arc at the latest.
Not when the crew is already stronger than a single Yonko crew.
