Controversial Who'd be the yonko

#26
If the Strawhats didn't become an Emperor crew, the other contenders would have been :

- the Kuja Pirates, because Hancock has a whole country of haki users and sea Monsters (the Yuda snakes) that even Sea Kings don't attack.

- the Donquixote Pirates if they didn't get destroyed by Luffy, because Doflamingo had powerful subordinates and also had influence.

- the Big Mom Pirates, because even without Big Mom, it remains a powerful crew with 4 Commanders (if we still count Snack), veterans, a whole army of 10.000+ men.

- the Whitebeard Pirates if they were to reform again.

- the Germa 66 now they are not affiliated with the World Government. They are basically now warmonger criminals who happened to be affiliated with an Emperor.
They have an "immortal" army of soldiers, advanced technology, and the generals are genetically modified humans.

The Yonko would become the Sanko, because nobody else is strong enough to fill the void.

After Marineford the Whitebeard Pirates didn’t automatically become Yonko Big Mom’s crew would still lose their titles.

They also didn’t give it to the Blackbeard’s either until a year later, and even the Marineford Blackbeard’s shit all over the Kid and Heart Pirates.

Kid and Law don’t have anything that would let them deserve to be Emperors.

Individually, they are far too weak
Their crews are far too weak
They have no territory
They have no fleet
They have no influence

The Strawhats became Yonko’s because Luffy is strong, his crew, his crew is strong, his fleet is strong, they have territory.

Buggy became an Emperor because of his connections to other powerful figures, Mihawk is a monster, Croc is a genius, Buggy has an army and the threat that Cross Guild is directly causing to Marines.

Cross Guild are the weakest overall crew as a Yonko because it’s basically just Mihawk and Croc who are relevant fighters, but even with that Mihawk alone is enough to beat Kid and Law’s entire crews.

It would be like post-Marineford, the Gorosei would discuss who could possibly take over, the three potentials would be Katakuri, Kid and Law but they would wait to see if any were strong enough to actually fill the gap.

"After Marineford the Whitebeard Pirates didn’t automatically become Yonko"
I can’t imagine how without their captain and ace

Yamato with enel and jimbe as her commanders would be a nice choice.

Gotta take into account that most SHs would be dead without luffy aswell so they wouldn't join anyone.

Non of them.

What happened after WB died?

Nor Marco nor Teach were made Yonko, since being a Yonko isnt a title you are given, it is a title you are earned.

Teach stoled territories from Marco, and then went and destroyed them, he started to rule over the sees just as any other yonko.

Luffy started doing that since Dressrosa woth his fleet, WCI showing to not be just a high tier and having connections, and after wano after defeating some Yonko
