what about "balanced crew" do you not understand?
guess everyone on shanks crew is orbiting arround the 2b mark with only the captain going above 4b.
also, shanks only has the 4b since hes captain and a roger pirate.
he is barely stronger than beckman probably.
he is by far the weakest of the yonko and below current teach, powerwise.

They arethe most balanced crew ie the gap in strength between the captain and the executives is not big. The gap between the executives is also not big.
The bounty gap between captain and executive is not big while the bounty gap between executives is also not big.
With that being said, Shanks's executives ie. Ben, yasopp and roo were all hyped individually so based on that Shanks executives are stronger than the executives of other yonko crews

RHPs as a crew are strongest, best currently. Bt far from two Yonkou crew together, else Marines won't br hyping BM-Kaidou alliance like that if RHPs were already like that.
They have Quality which i think Oda considers more imp in Onepiece than Quantity. Rodger>Shiki
We also have SHs and BB pirates again with handful bt strong members.

They are the strongest of the current yonko yes. This chapter pretty much implied it by saying they are the most balanced of the yonko crew and singling out "Beckman", "Roo" and "Yasopp".
With that said, i won't say they are twice as strong. I expect Beckman's bounty to be 2Billions at best, could even be lower, since Blackbeard has a 2,247,600,000 Bounty while being a yonko with the influence of subordinates and allies as support to inflate it, and King's bounty might be in the 1.5Billions range, and thus not making Beckman's bounty that much higher. Yes i know bounty isn't power-level, but as a crew comparison, it helps in portrayal
Furthermore, as mentioned that's as far as current yonko goes, because when Whitebeard was alive, he was hyped beyond the current yonkos and since he was the closest to one piece, being able to be pirate king whenever he wanted, his subordinates could have filled the gap enough that they could be just as strong if not stronger than Shanks' subordinates
The fact that "Yasopp" who is one of Shanks' core member seem to have a beef with Vista, with Oden as a commander who could scar Kaido, Marco as the right hand man and Jozu in between further implies this. Ace also had pirate king potential. Teach ultimately became a yonko himself
So overall i think both Whitebeard pirates and Red Hair pirates are stronger than other yonko crews, but not twice as strong. They can probably high diff their respective counter-parts

Really puts into perspective how far the Strawhats have to go to become legends that surpass legends. Usopp is the weakest Strawhat according to Oda, but he has to match or exceed his dad who is a famous YC3 at minimum that shares a rivalry with a swordsman recognized by Mihawk.
By the end of the series, even the weak trio will be YC level while Luffy goes beyond Roger.

He has a very small crew of elites. Beckman bountywise and maybe also powerwise should not be far behind Shanks, maybe a 3B bounty? For sure higher than Kaido and BM first mates. After that it is logical thay all his other crewmates (7-9?) should be around yc 2 or 3 at least to make the red hair on par with the other yonko crews.
Twice as strong is a bit of a stretch imo. That said however, his commanders received greater portrayal than other Yonkou commanders this chapter. So I think we can expect each of Shanks top 3 to be significantly stronger than their respective number in other Yonkou crews and it makes sense tbf, considering he has like what 10 (and a bit) number of crew mates. Shanks crew also mirrors the SHs from a numerical stand point, so the dynamics are prolly similar to some extent. It also fits with why Kizaru was wary of Benn & why the Vivre card said Benn was comparable to Shanks.
This again is why the whole YC1 level, YC2 power structure doesn’t really work anymore. It also once again indicates that bounties are a fair (maybe not exact) indication of strength. I’d like to see how folks try to justify the Red Hair Pirate commanders as being more violent than the beast Pirates thus having higher bounties.
