I think the Staw Hats greatest strength is, like shanks, his core crew. But in a different way. Shanks’ core crew is the strongest one. Luffy’s the most competent one. In a 1v1 fight, Shanks’ crew might win, but the strawhats has 1 out of the 2 people that can read the poneglyph alive in Robin, a world class doctor in Chopper, a world class engineer, probably being one of the greatest scientific minds in one piece since time skip, in Franky and probably the world’s greatest navigator in Nami. When it comes to exploration and having the ways to get to the One Piece, the straw hats are BY FAR the most prepared to do so.

[@NinebalancedGuy]

Well said the straw hat only need growth, because each one of them are the best in their position in the verse, Chopper the best doctor, NAMI the best navigator, Sanji the best cook, Brook the best musician, Franky the best shipwright, jimbei the best helmsman, Robin the best archaeologist, Luffy the best captain, Zoro just need to beat Hawkeye to be the best swordsman

I definitely think the BM Pirates don't get enough credit for their organization. The Straw Hats absolutely tore through their territory while Big Mom herself was rampaging around and yet her crew were ready for them at every turn. Compare that to the Beast Pirates who fell apart pretty quickly in the course of the raid. As it stands the remaining BM pirates are still a potential factor in the world, especially since BB kidnapped pudding, whereas the Beast Pirates seem out of the running completely.

[@willr563]

The strongest beast pirates, the gifters, are part of the Wano military might under Tama 😤

[@somerandomguy3037]

The reason why the Beast pirates were way more impressive is because the strawhat crew was exponentially stronger when they fought the beast pirates. If the current strawhats were to raid the big mom pirates during Whole cake island they would have demolished the place. Zoro, Sanji and Jimbei absolutely body the sweet commanders as long as Sanji doesn’t fight smoothie which he won’t as we saw him switch opponent during Wano. He is destroying the other two sweet commanders with Luffy and Zoros coq all the fodder are getting knocked out. The rest of the crew with big hitters like Franky, Robin and Brook can take care of any other strong fighter or at the very least until Zoro, Sanji and Jimbei finish up. If you were to add allies like the samurai and the 9 scabbards it would be no competition to be honest.

[@samt3412]

Also, that was only half the core crew plus a couple of strong allies like Carrot. If Zoro, Franky, Robin, and Usopp were in Whole Cake Island with them, the escape would've been far easier.

14:33 the Strawhats were never "just an East Blue level crew". They steamrolled throughout East Blue without much of a challenge. Luffy's first real challenge was Crocodile, well into the Grandline.

Maybe even Vivi with Alabasta or Riku with Dressrosa. Oh, yes and also Wano with Momo, Yamato, the Scabbards, thousands of samurai. And they also have ties with the Red-haired pirates, who might help them out in dire situations and they also have ties with the Revolutionaries through Sabo. Oh yea, and Zou as well. A nation of Minks with Sulong forms. And the Heart pirates, Kid pirates(if they survived). Also Vegapunk.

[@rafikshaheed4271]

Right, the best scientist World Government has is now on the Straw Hat's side. They also have ties to the Revolutionary army, with Dragon being his father, and Sabo his brother. Sentomaru has chosen to protect the Straw Hats, so it unlikely he will be welcomed back to the Marines with open arms. There are people like Smoker who do not agree with everything the World Government does, and may see the Straw Hats as the more just force; and Coby, who although is on the opposite side, still considers Luffy as his friend.

Another clue about Shanks' core crew being his best asset is that he arrived at Marinford, in the heat of a battle between most of the Marine, the entire crew and entire fleet of another Emperor, the core crew of a soon-to-be Emperor, and a bunch of other powerful combattants; showed up only with his own core crew; and stopped any and all conflict by menacing to backslap anyone and everyone who would keep fighting from now on. Now, many of the engaged fighters were worn out or downright dead by this point, but still, for a grand total of 10 people to be able to achieve that remains considerably impressive.

[@herplederpledoodledoo]

He's also rumored to be blood related to Garlic Figureland though, which means Akainu might not even have been ALLOWED to fight him, as the Figurelands are high status even amongst world nobles.

[@DexTag]

To be fair, WB and Shanks were considered on equal strength, or Shanks as even ahead of WB due to health conditions. The goal of the marine was to execute Ace, while the goal of the Whitebeards was to save him. The Blackbeards were only there to take Whitebeards power. In other words, there was nothing left to fight for, for any side, especially after all the damage that was already done, going for an identical round 2 would be stupid. Like Shanks is very strong, 100%, but forfeiting that battle was the only reasonable thing to do under any circumstances

[@TengouX]

The Straw Hats' individual strength and skill as a crew are shaping up to rival Shanks' The Straw Hats' military might, its Grand Fleet, is not filled with liabilities like Shanks' fleet, and is shaping up to rival Whitebeard's. The Straw Hats' access to weapons and technology won't lose to Kaido's, as they will have Vegapunk as an ally going forward, on top of Franky, Robin and their alliance with Fishman Island potentially giving them access to any of the Ancient Weapons if Luffy ever wants or needs them. The Straw Hats' strategic prowess was already considerable due to Robin and Sanji, but with Vegapunk becoming an ally it will only get better, which will probably serve him well in the latter leg of the final saga as he needs to contend with Blackbeard and the like. The Straw Hats' political power can't be understated either, as they will have the backing of all the nations that fly his flag once all out war breaks out; the act of bringing resolution to this age old conflict and rebuilding the world after will doubtlessly display the political might of Straw Hat Luffy. As for public humiliation, the Straw Hats don't engage in such things but they do have a public image that is deceptive. However, this deceptive image as to what the Straw Hat crew is truly capable of is the result of consequence and the World Government's own actions; they fell off the radar after Dressrosa and became a Yonkou-calibre crew due to a conflict that happened in a closed-off country. Few people know all the details, and Luffy's feats were further downplayed by purposely giving him a bounty equivalent to Kidd and Law, setting them up to be underestimated. In a sense, you could say that the Straw Hats' greatest strength might not be their growth rate, but rather the fact that they either through their own achievements or complete circumstance, they excel at all the points you mentioned these other crews excelling at. They are truly the most well-rounded jacks of all trades of the Pirate World.

Marco is basically the gatekeeper to the Yonko. If he had the ambition and corresponding haki to go along with it he very likely could've become a yonko.

People have been putting King above him recently but Marco had several things going against him, he had just flown god knows how far through the stormy New World while carrying Izo to even get to Wano, he used his powers to suppress the ice-oni virus while fighting King&Queen and King was backed up by a squad of flying gifters.

Shanks: Ayyubid Sultanate Giving protection to the outsiders while maintaining its might through sheer quality and close subordinates. Blackbeard: British Empire Expanding its territories through schemes and underhanded tactics. Cross Guild: China Although a global powerhouse, it is heavily censored, source manipulated by the media and often difficult to measure its true strength.

Captain has insane and potentially up and coming strongest single God DF. Best experts in their fields of study and jobs on the crew. Crew is very versatile. Crew, because of young age, still having a high ceiling for growth.(Unknown strength of fleet). Up and coming humongous Network of allies. Weaknesses - Complete idiot for a Captain with a weakness for falling into the sea. Small crew. Buggy - Has Mihawk. (Has the Intel of Croc). Has the Luck and polarizing fame of Buggy. Weaknesses - Captain is a fraud. Seemingly no real fighting power in crew.

[@sebastianmartinez5508]

The strawhats are gradually getting to have the best of each: Strong non-fruit users like the red hair pirates but with a captain that has a broken fruit(currently, not before) along great haki mastery that is getting better each day, a strong armada like WB, brains with different kinds of inteligence (Jinbei, nami, sanji and Robin) .

[@geoffreyedgson7875]

You make multiple, extremely well-structured and applaudable explanations here. Plus, how Yonko crew leverages these advantages match their actions in the Anime. And give windows into the beliefs and outlooks of 4 Emperor's themselves. People do not pick a fight with Shanks, but they could weaken or bait him. Although nobody has gone far enough to do that. -Shanks himself embodies Gol D. Roger's belief about Devil fruits, and is evidently selective and carrying over his core crew almost more than Whitebeard is. Plus.....Devil fruits represent dreams, and Shanks is one of the only Pirates with no established dream in the franchise. The Cross-guild's propaganda and hype do make them a glass-cannon crew. yet, at the same time, they are also very decisive. By issuing bounties on Marine officers they are the most proactively opposing the Navy out of the Yonko crews, discounting Whitebeard's attack on Marineford. -It's a performance, and Buggy is largely a performer instead of holding much substance. The Straw Hat's do have incredible growth, however, said growth is pretty much condensed around the core crew. Plus, their victory on Wano owes a lot to Eustass Kidd and Trafalgar Law fighting off Big Mom. -Luffy revels in change and has THE largest power-creep out of anyone in the show. With his own crew evolving to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him. Even Luffy's choice to disband and grow over 2 years when everyone else dove into the New World was a pivotal choice for the whole crew. The Big Mom Pirates didn't only accumulate leverage and political alliances with "deals you cannot refuse." Big Mom herself made it next to impossible to leave any deals struck by her and has enough awareness to offer false olive branches and take what she desires from anyone. -With the Vinsmokes, she recognized that by siding with her Judge had forfeited any privileges as a Royal recognized by the World Government. Killing him wouldn't provoke any backlash from the Navy and she could take everything he offered without spending her assets on the North Blue. Kaido's focus on weapon accumulation didn't stop at plagues or artificial devil-fruits either. He actively encouraged competition between the lower ranks of his crew, with the "All-Star" positions up for grabs is somebody proved they were strong enough. The Beast Pirates were constantly evolving and amassing new assets and had to stay strong to keep their positions. - Whitebeard, alongside how much he valued family, was constantly expanding his own crew and fleet. Former core members branched off and formed their own crews, or new faces in the New World would be defeated and recruited or allied with them. Ace defeated a Pirate called Dogma, who later appears fighting with Whitebeard at Marineford, and after defeating Ace himself Whitebeard made an offer for him to come aboard. -Whitebeard valued family, and evidently so do the crews sailing under his flag. The core crew see one another as brothers and life long companions, while Allied captains at Marineford answered Whitebeard's call and directly declared their intentions to save Ace since it was Ace; not explicitly because Whitebeard was going into the fight.

Another thing that separates the SH from the BB pirates is that Teach sailed under Whitebeard for years so he had a great handle on most of the Grand Line to complement his strategic game. The SH came in basically blind, not even knowing how to navigate properly. It’s been through sheer guts and growth they’ve come so far.

I would like to point out that Hajrudin & co. were mentioned to be Buggy's _biggest earners,_ not their strongest fighters - they could still have been the biggest earners even if they had someone of Mihawk's strength around, if they just took on more well-paying jobs. They still very likely were the strongest they had, and Buggy's Delivery was indeed almost certainly just a lot of fodder in the end, I'm simply noting that the statement given doesn't directly speak to their strength. An argument of details, not conclusions.

[@Ray_D_Tutto]

True. Buggy also has level 1 to 5 prisoners, no doubt more joined up during the timeskip and more are currently joining everyday due to the bounty system. Mr 3 is weak but extremely intelligent. Maybe not to the extent as Blackbeard but he is still a great strategist.

I have to disagree with the statement about the straw hats having a stronger core crew than the Blackbeard Pirates. Their crewmates didn't end up in Level 6 of Impel down for no reason and they have Ao Kiji. Zoro, Sanji and Jimbei can keep up with them, but thats about it.

[@marethyumoros1741]

I believe that Cross Guild could be the strongest crew, but we don't know. This is almost entirely based on the monkeys on Mihawk's Island. If he did brought them along, it could be chaos since they are known for learning by watching, which means they most likely would have pretty high tier haki right out the gate by watching Zoro's time skip training. I won't say that each is as strong as Zoro, but they would be significantly stronger than pre time skip Zoro at the very least, I'd say they are a good bit stronger than Pacifistas at the very least. A gang of monkeys that should be above Pacifistas individually is terrifying.

[@unnamedshadow1866]

While its true Cross Guild is the biggest PR Stunt in the One Piece World. But Destiny also plays a big part. I still think that Cross Guild its still in the initial stages of getting its Yonkou Commanders. In fact they may even get to Laugh Tale without the need of getting the Poneglyphs. I am pretty sure at some point All the Former Shichibukai excluding Jinbei, Kuma and Blackbeard will be part of Cross Guild. Mihawk and Crocodile allowed Buggy to be the leader so that he takes the hit in case things go South. And i am sure many other Pirates will flock to Cross Guild under that same idea. But slowly as more Powerful Pirates gather around Buggy, what was initially a PR Stunt actually starts looking like the real deal Boa Hancock is very likely joining Cross Guild and together with her the rest of the Kuja Pirates will come, adding more fighters. Perona likely has a Vivre Card to Mihawk, meaning Moria and his Zombie army will join. And i even include Trafalgar Law now, considering he lost his crew and its just him and Beppo now. Hiding in Cross Guild will give Law enough time to plan a comeback, but again Cross Guild PR will make it look like he begged to join Buggy. And i think Buggy may be the only person that its immune to Law's abilities. I do believe just like Luffy will pull off the Egg Head Incident, Buggy will also cause an incident that will further increase his power. The Raid of Impel Down. Of course it wont be Buggy's idea. But now that Buggy declared going for the One Piece, Crocodile will probably try and bolster the number of fighters in the crew by any means necessary. Doflamingo and his Family, Bon Clay and the New Kamas of Level 5.5, a new batch of Impel Down prisoners from all levels, but this time Level 6 too. And just recently Green Bull went an arrested the top officers of the Beast Pirates, meaning King and Queen as well as the Tobi Roppo will join Cross Guild. And of course the only person that will join Buggy directly (because he's an idiot that can be easily fooled) Edward Weevil. It will be the most disloyal crew ever, but the names alone and the sheer number of powerhouses, this is the second coming of Rocks D. Xebec. And i did mention they will reach Laugh Tale without the need of the Poneglyphs. Someone else will join Cross Guild. In fact the last time we saw him he was listening to Hancock's concerns about protecting her Amazon Lilly. In fact it will be him that will advice Hancock that joining Cross Guild is the better option. The Dark King himself will join Cross Guild. And lets remember, he was not only the First Mate, he was also the Navigator of the Roger Pirates, he knows the Road to Laugh Tale. In fact this is very likely how Buggy will convince Mihawk and Crocodile to not kill him after declaring he's going for the One Piece. By telling them he has the fastest way to reach Laugh Tale without fighting any other Yonkou Crew. "let me convince the navigator of the Roger Pirates to join". And of course Rayleigh will join, he will find it amusing and he also cares about Buggy, so he will join to protect him, since he knows who Buggy really is.

The SHP also have probably the closest access to Pluton and Poseidon and if necessary it's likely Shirohoshi would aid the SHP in battle, and Wano would take down their walls and officially open Wano just to give the SHP's Pluton, plus Zou could definitely bring along Zunesha just for the heck of it. Luffy also has that unpredictability, like Marineford people who didn't even wanna really help still ended up helping and on his side.

[@MLP-Trinary]

This was a really interesting, well thought out video, but some of the reasoning regarding the strength of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet seemed a little less solid. For one thing, many of the powerful allies mentioned were themselves former members or allies of the Whitebeards, like Marco and Jimbei. If Whitebeard was still alive, they wouldn't really be available for helping out the Straw Hats, so contrasting one to the other seems a bit wonky in that respect. There's also just the idea of tossing in countries friendly to the Straw Hats under their banner as if they were part of their Yonko Empire. Technically, Fishman Island was under Whitebeard's protection and could be considered part of his empire--but that doesn't mean the whole country was about to throw in with him when he went to war with the Marines. An island being part of a Yonko's territory doesn't necessarily mean that they'll send all their money, troops, ships, etc. to their Yonko anytime they ask for it--or that a Yonko would even ask it of them. At least, Whitebeard, Shanks, and Luffy don't seem like the type who'd do that. Unless something really major happens, Neptune or Momonoske or Carrot or Vivi aren't about to dispatch the forces of Fishman Island, Wano, Zou, or Alabasta to the Straw Hats' aid in a conflict between them and the World Government just because Luffy is in trouble. That, I think, draws too much of an equal sign between a subordinate crew of a Yonko to a friendly nation that is (more-or-less) under a Yonko's protection and dominion. By that same token, one might as well list the Revolutionary Army as part of Luffy's extended empire (or at least allies) because of his connections with Dragon, Sabo, and Ivankov. Speaking of subordinate crews, I'm not sure how the Straw Hat Grand Fleet really compares to that of the others. They're seven crews who are 5,640 strong, sure, with fairly impressive captains and fighters. But Kaido was said to have 20,000 subordinates at Onigashima when the Pirate-Samurai-Mink-Ninja alliance attacked, with lots of disposable ships that they lost without really getting too upset over. I don't know the size of Big Mom's fleet, but we saw easily dozens of those Tarte ships, and saw tons of them getting sunk by Germa 66 or the Strawhat-Firetank alliance, and it didn't seem like that devastating a blow to the men and material available to the Big Mom Pirates. It was seen as more of an embarrassment issue that they got away, not that they dealt any real damage to the Big Mom Pirates overall. And even with all that, Whitebeard's crew was STILL seen as stronger than Kaido and Big Mom's forces, and they brought 'only' 43 subordinate/allied crews with them to Marineford, plus the five ships of Whitebeard's core crew.

Buggy’s top skill is its reputation. They have the warlord who took over alabasta by himself, a logia user no less. A man that fought whote beard and survived. Then you Mihawk a man who fought red haired shanks and walked away. The greatest swordsman of their era. Then you have the Genius Jester himself, a man who is a sworn brother with another Yonko, a man whom WhiteBeard teamed up with during the war the man who orchestrated the plan to break out of impel down. A man who sailed with gold rodger and clashed with the white beard pirates. Formee warlord of the sea, Buggy D. Clown. He’s crew, though limited in names so far, is essentially a bunch of bug names. Throw in the Pirate empress & self professed lover of fellow Yonko Monkey D Luffy, Boa Hancock; maybe the mad king, and celestial dragon Doe Flamingo. Just imagine if they grabbed a son of Whitebeard as well to join them. Your looking at a crew with a record only likened to Rocks himself in this Era and the ones that neighbor it.

Sir this video actually put me off of one piece. I’m wondering how any crew keeps their crew fed and full of booze without ever showing any crew plundering villages and towns. I think Buggy is the most realistic yonko, how he is, what he does, and his crew make him the most believable

[@Problemsolver434]

Well, the strawhats are rich. They get a lot of money from everywhere they go. Like the gold from Skypeia, supplies from Hancock, fishman Island etc. there will definitely have been a ton of supplies from Wano etc. People are grateful to them. The Skypeians wanted to give them far more gold. They essentially got two ships for free.

[@kb9889]

Seeing how far the Strawhats have come just brought a smile to my face

[@Teflora]

You could argue that the straw hats bring one of the strengths of the other yonko crews to the table. They will match shank's core strength, already surpass whitebeards fleet, but also have strong weapons/technology with Franky (arguably this will get even better after the current arc). Public manipulation with choppers low price and God Usopps image. Strategically they won't match Blackbeard but they will in adaptability and surprise factor or in other words: Tactics. Politically the straw hats already showed that they can gain powerful allies in Form of whole kingdoms worldwide. Very good list, I just had to think at every point "straw hats can also do that to some level" which I think is absolutely awesome

Crocodile plays an interesting role for the crossguild, with Doffy, Kaido and Big Mom out of the picture, apart from Blackbeard there is only 1 Big shot with enough contacts, resources and knowledge fill in their role in all of the criminal underworld and that's what he is appearing to be doing, then if you add up Buggy's infamous reputation with arguably the scariest curriculum from any pirate alive at this point and Mihawk being just as strong as any of the other Yonkos, the crossguild leaders appear to be bringing to the table the 3 things Roger had when he became pirate king according to the opening credits of the series, Wealth (Crocodile), Fame (Buggy), Power (Mihawk)
