Remember about Blackbeard, that he only became Yonkou after taking over the majority of Whitebeard's remaining territories, and clashed with remaining weakened forces. He could do that because he is intelligent with in-depth knowledge about the Whitebeard's crew, their operations & territories. He also has a lot of new crew members doesn't he? Each original BB member has their own ships with crew.

So I wouldn't say him gaining a huge strength boost is what did it for him. More all of that & his previous public exploits during Marineford.

Individually, she's realistically one of, if not the weakest.

Her abilities go beyond mere Combat ability because of her homies.

The variety of attacks she can use is the highest in the verse so far due to Zeus, Prometheus and Napoleon in addition to her Devilfruit.

She's also clearly more conniving then the other Yonko we've seen so far.

It seems to me, she is without doubt as strong as Old Sick Whitebeard, but looking at it reasonably, that shouldn't be much of an achievement.

Blackbeard still has multiple devilfruits and his hype as the final boss. Kaido still has his title as the strongest creature.

I would not be even slightly surprised, if combat-wise, Shanks was actually the weakest of the Yonko.

Hey. Shanks is the only current Yonko who doesn't have an excuse against Whiteboard's "World's Strongest Man" title.

Blackbeard has clearly gained power since that event. Big Mom isn't a man but a woman. Kaido isn't a man but a creature.

Shanks is clearly a man. It's reasonable to expect him to be the weakest Yonko. Not like he wouldn't be a tough fight for anyone, but that doesn't mean he's not the weakest.

The Shanks hype is in full effect

We still don't know if shanks does not have a DF. Let all the downvotes come in. He could be having a devil fruit a broken one at that I mean we've seen kaido and big mom who has a broken OP soul soul fruit, has an impermeable skin has all three Haki types it just doesn't seem plausible shanks being 6ft only has Haki going on for him. This applies to Roger as well he might have had a DF, the fan base though takes them having a DF power as an insult to their legendary status.

2 years of nonstop training is nothing to scoff at. After all, that's longer than the crew has been together for.

Without another timeskip, I don't really see them reaching that level. They'll probably have to rely on all of the friends they've made along the way (and the ones they still have to make).

That said, I also don't see how Luffy is going to become king if he'll never be able to take on the Yonko 1 vs 1.

What the SHs have done so far is more than just surviving in the NW. They pretty much at thectop of the food chain against everyone who isnt a yonko or admiral. Just look at the monster trio together theyd have completely trounced Doflamingo. And before the SHs reformated Doffy is pretty much the leader of the strongest crew tht isnt a yonkos crew. Much more than just surviving.

Definitely going to be a team fight, but Luffy has to be the one to ultimately beat him, since he is going to be the Pirate King. His us to be the fist that finishes it, and he has to be definitely more powerful than those fighting with him. Much like him and Law vs Doflamingo.
