Controversial The Next Four Yonko

Ello WG Yoho here with another post and today's topic of discussion is who will be the yonko of tomorrow who will role the next generation?

Well I believe I've narrowed down the possibilities

1. Jewelry Bonney- Not only does her power give her vast potential, she is also in control of hundreds of thousands of pacifista, and she'll potentially become a part of the straw hat crew where she will learn from Luffy and the gang how to fight and how to be a pirate

2. God Usopp- I believe outta all the strawhats he's the one most likely to keep sailing he wanted to be a pirate long before he even met Luffy, people under estimate Usopp now but one day he'll be the true king of snipers.

3. Momonosuke- but Yoho he has responsibilities has Shogun of wano! That didn't stop Oden from becoming a pirate for a good 10 years, Momo already has the potential for great power he just needs to get the proper training to achieve that potential, not only is he ruler of a powerful nation, its also a nation sitting on not one, not two but 3 op devil fruits and an ancient weapon, Momo can got out on a pirate adventure and leave the task of ruling the nation to hiyori and his vassels

4. Smoker- Yes I know it's a wildcard pick but hear me out between all the lies, cover ups and the fact the people he's been working for are bigger scum than most pirates I think Smoker will become disillusioned of the world government or whatever entity replaces it if it gets taken down, imagine the ramifications if a former marine vice admiral maybe even admiral by that time goes turn coat and becomes a yonko bringing a good chunk of his forces with him


And that's my 4 candidates for whom I believe will become four yonko of the future

Eventually there will be the son of Shanks and Makino, that is 110% sure. Most likely if Oda ever wants to do a sequel the main character will be that kid. The only way this can be avoided is if Oda turns that kid into a marine and does some reversal manga about him growing as a marine. And of course yonko will just be a stepping stone.

Then Law and Kidd will eventually be yonkos but I don't think you want to talk about them but the ones even after them.

Yamato and Katakuri. More Yamato than Katakuri actually. If Yamato sail on her own she will be a true yonko in the span of a few years since she is already YC1+ and her ceiling is Kaido or even more. Kata is not as promising as Yamato but 1) he is not as much of a Luffy fanboy as Yamato and still is a YC1 and son of BM.

Croco and/or Doffy. At this point, if Oda makes Doffy come back, they are both YC1+ lvl, have the drive, the guts and the brain to aim for that spot. Actually Croco, if we remove Mihawk and Buggy&crew, could already be considered a pseudo yonko if he has under him a crew strong enough and not the clowns he kept from Baroque works (Daz Bones could be up to the task and become/ be revealed to be a YC lvl guy but the others are not even close to that, they also lack the spirit). Mihawk doesn't care about becoming a yonko.

About your choices imo Usopp will not keep sailing after Luffy retires, he could be seen as a sleeping legend like Ray just to redo the Buggy warlord/yonko joke. Smoker imo will almost for sure become a proud admiral of the reformed and not corrupted marines. Bonney, it could be who knows, for sure she has potential powerwise. I think Momo will stay as shogun of Wano, if a pirate comes out of Wano that will be Yamato imo.

Smoker can become an admiral ONLY for a short period of time, forced. This is not his way. He never wanted that. This is something that doesn't suit him at all. And where have you seen an admiral with a height of 2 meters?))

True, maybe Sengoku is a bit smaller than the admirals we know. Anyway Coby will eventually become an admiral and fleet admiral most likely breaking the norm.

About Smoker true as well, he wants to be on the move running after pirates but at the same time I see Oda doesn't care so much about Smoker so he could simply throw a flashforward where we see/know Smoker become an admiral and nothing more is ever said about him.

I have a different opinion) Oda respects Smoker and even loves him, Smoker ust has a different role. There are 3 Marine "dogs". 1. Akainu is a supporter of absolute justice, loyal to Marine to the end. 2. Garp — doesn't support many things, but eventually stays Marine. 3. And Smoker is the one who will eventually change sides. On the other hand, I absolutely don't see Oda taking care of Coby, which is why I see him as an admiral in the future. Coby is a character in the final chapters and postcanon probably.

I remember some good theories about Smoker joining the SHs along with Tashigi, they also had quite a solid ground but now it is all in the past. Imo think that Smoker will change sides is too extreme, he is indeed depicted as a marine extremely bent on doing his duty and even if he sees the rot in the WG imo he will still be somewhat loyal, a bit like Akainu, also he probably already see that the WG is corrupted. But the main problem is the time Oda can and is willing to dedicate him and that is at best some panels in between arcs at this point. Also even if in the end Oda gave him quite a bit of focus in Punk hazard he was also used as an hype tool for Doffy. So becoming an admiral without any other pretense is already quite a feat for Smoker (also considering the army of characters Oda introduces each arc).

People don't understand Yonko System.

After WG is done there won't be any Yonko system anymore.
Yonkou won't be a thing anymore.

I doubt there would be even pirates as many as there are rn
There can’t not be a yonko system unless all the pirates just die or retire when the story ends

Tbh that wouldn’t be a very good ending

My guess:

Yamato( Kaido 2.0)
Kidd (Shanks 2.0)
Bonney (BM 2.0)
Weevil (WB 2.0)

Maybe I'm wrong, but for me, the addition of Smoker becomes the final SHOW more obvious with each passing day. I've been a proponent of this theory for several years, but I was much more doubtful before. Smoker is developing before our eyes, as are the SHs. I also consider PH to be an excellent arc for him in terms of his collapse in order to be reborn as a stronger one. Oda doesn't spit on him when he's in the frame. Much worse is when a character appears from time to time in the manga, but does not make any sense. It is now obvious that Smoker is missing for an important reason. If he was irrelevant, Oda would just show him with Tashigi. He deliberately showed us Tashigi alone (despite the fact that she doesn't do anything, that is, he specifically emphasized the Smoker's absence). He's always on his way with the SHs. Even when they are apart. At first he was with Vegapunk. Smoker and Tashigi are an indestructible duo who were separated for a reason.

The Four Emperors system came about only as a result of Roger's death and the great age of piracy that followed. It's still a relatively young concept in the grand scheme of world history. This cold-war deadlock style between four of the alleged most powerful pirates in the world only works because they're not really meant to ally with each other, as that upsets the balance.

I personally don't think there needs to be a Yonko system at the end of the story because it's an instrument of WG creation. The Warlords are no more; SSG is done for, and the trend will continue. The world chugged along just fine in the old era when Roger, WB, Shiki, and BM ruled the seas after the Rocks Pirates dissolved.

Dude Yonko system helps WG to balance the pirates of the world.

Without WG there is no Yonko system.

And even with WG there was only a Yonko because Pirate King died living an immense treasure and making more pirates to go after it.

I see what you're saying the yonko are only yonko because the world government let's them be yonko to keep the other pirates in check

But a new yonko system could still come up one based on respect not just fear and power or WG Propraganda

Imo Smoker is a secondary character which has an importance but he isn't a real player aka a really important secondary character: he has very good chances to eventually become an admiral, we have seen him grow in power when he was reintroduced in Punk hazard, he get stronger but he simply got a jump without any explanation like it happened for Croco or Lucci while the really important secondary characters like BB or Coby, for them we get development on panel (BB stealing the gura, Coby using his version of Garp punch etc.) and it is also clear that Oda is cooking something with the really important secondary characters, it is useless to talk about BB but if we take Coby (which in a way is the rival of Smoker since if the marine Coby gets attention it is less likely that other marines will get it, so Smoker but even Tashigi and others) Oda made the marines give him the task to capture Boa (all on panel and not a side story), then he arrived there and was in the middle of BB vs Boa and then Rayleigh, then got captured and Garp went to rescue him, huge power jump with that punch.. if we want to talk about Smoker getting some real importance we first should have Oda giving him the task to arrest a shiki or something like that (but Coby already taking that role has already stopped the chance for Smoker to get it).

What will happen to all the strong pirates?
Golden age of pirates was ushered due to Roger's infamous speech on one piece.

Once one piece will be found....WG will be taken down...Every race... people will get freedom.

Pirates won't exist. Yonkous won't exist.

A government of people will exist and strong pirates can either be affiliated to it like a model based on Warlords system to maintain peace or work with the WG.


Some might even retire like Rayleigh.
