I don't agree often with you, but this sums up my sentiment to yonkou strength perfectly.Yonko level is no bar at all. Yonko means you have overwhelming forces and an extensive territory. Shanks alone wouldn't be a Yonko, his Red hair Pirates and a lot more allies account for his status as a Yonko. Akainu, Kuzan, Mihawk, possibly Kizaru etc are guys given right resources can be up there with their crews labelled as Yonko.
exactly they are essentially equal to a yonko crew in raw power. People keep dismissing them as not necessary for the WG but ignore the fact that they add to the balance of the OP world.He is....
The warlords add what is needed to keep the balence
Ppl do not think the warlords add anything to the marines but they are wrong
If the warlords were a formed crew
They wohld have a captain thats yonko level (mihawk)
They have yonko comander level fighters in adition to first mate (kuma doffy potentially mihawk)
And then really other high level fighters
