because they wanted to avoid any unnecessary deaths and casualties. none of the sides neither the marines pirates or blackbeard would have benefitted in fighting another yonko

Funny that you weren't saying this at first

Realistically, it's impossible to tell this early. I wouldn't use BB's statement much either, because he's proven to always have an agenda and scheme. He could just genuinely not want to fight Akuina right now, or be frightened of him Pre-Yonko title. Though, I'd wager that the Admirals are closer in strength to the Yonko then they are to the Shichibukai.

Shanks>akainu by hype for sure some ppl just cling on every little nugget to put akainu in a place with the yonko when it doesn't seem like he is a Kaido/shanks or even current Bb in terms of hype but he would give high to extreme diff to yonko that's likely.

>Comes out uninjured against several Yonko commanders, all the same time
>Takes the strongest attack seen from a Yonko with no sustaining injuries
>Sends a man who wanted to fight WB pirates, Fleet Admiral and Three Admirals running in fear, even when he had backup from his entire crew
>Stated by Oda that he'd become Pirate King in just two years
All Shanks has is:
>Getting Kaido to back off via an unknown method, more than likely not battle
>One quick clash with Whitebeard
>The title of Yonko, which should be the same level as an Admiral
And yet, Shanks has better hype. Right.

Shanks is stronger. Deal with it. Based on portrayal. You can play devils advocate but the fact is that he has better hype and portrayal than Akainu. I think you wouldnt be advocating so much for fictional characters if you even knew what ***** felt like.

i laugh at people who say that the marines just stopped the war to keep the balance...They already picked a fight with WB by holding execution of ace...The balance was already lost when WB was killed.so why not make it complete by killing all the pirates..
Who cares 1 or 4 lost balance can never be filled.
It was shanks presence that made them stop the war..
what if any other(bigmom or kaido) appeared instead the shanks will the war stop?yes any yonko is clearly stronger than admiral.
But sengoku handed the funerals of WB,Ace to shanks because he respects shanks..Respect(a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements).Wb who is near to death showed hell to the marines..Just imagine what other yonkos can do(they are healthy if not strong compared to WB)..So no akainu cant beat any yonko 1vs1 but can push them to extreme diff

Extinguishing Roger's bloodline was a greater priority than upholding the balance.
Because it's impossible for the World Government to go about killing every single pirate without a massive world war, which would engulf civilians as well as pirates, not to mention just plain unrealistic with the world given in One Piece.
The balance was lost with Whitebeard's death, but replacing one Yonko is far easier than replacing two.
The balanced was restored by making Blackbeard a Yonko and replacing the lost Shichibukai with Law, Buggy, and Weevil.
Here the balance being threatened clearly bothered the Marines. [x

The Gorosei say here that the balance of the three powers can't be depended on any longer. Key words are "depended on any longer," meaning before the Paramount War, the Gorosei relied on the balance for some reason, so they did care about it. [

]Yes. If any of the other Yonko showed up, they would have stopped. As the hyperlink I gave above shows, the Gorosei wanted the balance of power for some reason, only determining until days after the war that it was unreliable, and even then, it was important to them that they quickly filled the seats of the Shichibukai and pick a new Yonko in order to fulfill the balance again.
It wasn't Shanks' presence, it was the presence of a Yonko's crew, which, win or lose, would be bad for the balance of power. I think it's safe to say I don't have to remind you AGAIN that the Gorosei regard the balance as important.
There was also the issue of protecting the image of the Marines. Both Tashigi and Smoker(and Coby) noticed the bloodlust of the Marines and how terrible it was.

If three loyal Marines notice that what the Marines were doing during the war was wrong, you think no one viewing the war's broadcast would think the same thing by saying a bunch of Marines murder pirates in blind bloodlust like monsters?
There is zero proof of this.
Sengoku having respect towards Shanks means absolutely nothing.
WB's near-death state was never once shown to weaken his Quakes, only his reflexes and stamina.
There is zero proof that a Yonko would definitely beat Akainu.
Edit: By the way, in case you need further proof, Garp says if the balance is broken, the entire world will fall into disarray.

Very true my friend!
Sometimes it might just be because the person is a fan of Akainu, so their judgement is a little bias.. but it's okay, I don't blame them for it at all, and I can understand.. especially since Akainu is one of the strongest characters in One Piece!
It's just Shanks > Akainu atm.. until Oda wants to show us otherwise of course.
