Not even guaranteed the Yonko system will be a thing after the events of Reverie & Onigashima... We may assist at the fall of the Yonko system (4 pirates equally splitting the New World like a cake) and the raise of more Great Pirates in a less hierarchical/more varied structure:
- Shanks one of the 2 remaining Emperors, already well estabilished position. Will stay on his own in his own fon now (no buffs bounty-wise).
- Teach estabilished his position recently, is already on the move for something big which means he'll probably be part of the big powder keg that will explode soon. (as a result, he'll come near Shanks bounty)
- Luffy was hyped as a possible Emperor but will really do the big jump now, will becoming one of the really few realistic contenders for the One Piece. (his bounty will double)
- Kidd will be the big reveal, pulling a job similar to what Teach pulled on WB Pirates but facing the Emperor herself rather than the RHM. He'll barely make it between those few who can aim for the One Piece. (his bounty will bump around Teach's current one)
- Law is another big name that will emerge, even tho he's more of an anomaly since he acts as a researcher & historian. He's like a shadow in all this and will still menage to up there as a Great Pirate cause of the danger he can poses)
If you add Warlords smantellation and Reverie events, everything points at the destruction of the system, especially the Emperors one.
The whole game will become larger and more conflictual.
On spot
@Paperchampion23 I know about your beliefs on Shanks, which I share to a certain degree, but I'm really curious of how in your opinion Kidd will be shaped to fit in there, since there are a lot of hints of Kidd being deeply connected to Shanks
