Following the Wano Country saga, the Straw Hat Pirates were recognized as a Yonko crew. During this arc, Luffy allied with Wano’s Samurais and other pirates to take down the formidable alliance of Kaido and Big Mom. In the end, it was Luffy who dealt the decisive blow against Kaido, thus earning him the prestigious title of a Yonko.

Currently, in the Final Saga, Luffy has reached a level of strength that allows him to engage and defeat Yonko pirates. However, what’s even more intriguing is that Luffy is expected to gain another power-up related to Haki, as hinted by Oda. This new ability will enable Luffy to surpass immortality, potentially placing him on the same level as esteemed pirates like Shanks.

In a similar vein, Zoro and Sanji will continue to advance significantly during their confrontations with the Holy Knights and Imu. Currently, Sanji and Zoro have defeated Queen and King respectively, which already places them at the level of Yonko commanders. However, they aim to surpass even legends like Rayleigh and Gaban in the Final Saga, potentially elevating themselves to become Yonko-level fighters. At present, they are stronger than any Yonko commander, undeniably so. Jinbe is also an impressive figure, renowned for his strength capable of fighting creatures with bounties exceeding a billion berries. Meanwhile, Robin has been consistently developing her skills, and she even held her own against Saint Sommers in their recent encounter.

Among the crew members, some still require improvement, yet the majority, which includes Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Jinbe, Robin, Franky, and Brook, have proven themselves capable of joining a Yonko’s team. Usopp, Nami, and Chopper are currently the least strong but are showing significant progress. It is anticipated that Usopp will gain a power boost in Elbaf, while Nami, although she has Zeus, needs to excel more in other areas.
