In the world of One Piece, the term Yonko or the title of the four Emperors of the Sea is .Yonko itself is a term that refers to the great power in the ocean in the One piece series. This big name with a bounty of billions can intimidate pirates just by its name alone. Not only pirates, even the Navy or Marine is reluctant to this sea emperor.
Before the defeat of Yonko Kaido and Bigmom in the Wano arc by the Worst Generation alliance, there were four great pirate names who managed to get the title of Yonkou.These names are Kaido the Beast King, Big Mom, Shanks the Red Hair, and Marshall D Teach or Kurohige.
With the fall of two Yonko and in order to maintain stability in the world of One Piece, the World Government immediately set four big names to become the new Yonko or fill the existing vacancies.
Here are the names of the four newest Ocean Emperors in the One Piece World:
1. Akagami No Shanks.
Shanks is the Captain of the Akagami or Red Hair pirates. Having a strong and tough crew, making himself one of the Yonko in One Piece since six years ago.Even during the events of the Marineford arc, with his title as Yonko, he was able to stop the war.
Until now, the full power of Shanks is still a puzzle. However, with the release of the One Piece movie entitled Red this year, it is certain that Shanks is a powerful Haki power user.
Evidently in the movie, it was seen that Admiral Fujitora and Admiral Borsalino did not move when dealing with him.
It is also known, Shanks only has one arm, but it is said that he has extraordinary strength even though he does not eat demon fruit. This has been confirmed by Oda before.
Not only that, Shanks' strength has also been recognized by the World Government to pirates like Shirohige and Kaido. The World Government has set the price for his head at 4,048,000,000 Belly.
2. Marshall D Teach
Marshal D Teach or commonly referred to as Kurohige (Blackbeard) made himself one of the Yonko thanks to his actions that disrupted several regions in the One Piece world.
After killing the previous Yonko, Shirohige or Whitebeard in the Marineford war, he descended to the New World and slowly began to expand his power by taking over Shirohige's territory and defeating the rest of Whitebeard's pirate crew.
Kurohige is also the only character in One Piece who can eat two demons at once, the Logia-type Yami Yami no Mi and the Paramecia-type Gura Gura no Mi. Marshal D. Teach has a hunting price of 3,996,000,000 Belly.
3. Monkey D. Luffy
The captain of the Straw Hat Pirates or Mugiwara has indeed been widely predicted to become Yonko by One Piece readers. After successfully winning the battle against Kaido, the Beast King in the Wano arc. Then it made him one of the four new Ocean Emperors.
In this arc, we also find out that Luffy's devil fruit which was previously named Gomu Gomu no Mi turns out to have the name Hito Hito no Mi model Nika or belongs to the Mythical Zoan type devil fruit.
It seems that the factor of the revelation of Luffy's demon fruit makes him one of the new Yonkou. The World Government considers Luffy's existence very dangerous coupled with the awakenings of the devil fruit.
The Hito Hito no Mi model Nika demon fruit was confirmed after Gorosei said that Luffy ate a demon fruit that can make the user become overpowered in terms of strength.The bounty price that Luffy had after he became Yonko was worth 3,000,000,000 Belly.
4. Buggy The Clown
Buggy is a character who eats the demon fruit Bara Bara no Mi type Paramecia. The power of this demon fruit allows Buggy to separate all of his limbs or the Swordsman's natural enemies.Perhaps, when compared to other Yonko, his strength is very different and fairly weak.
The Buggy character himself is indeed better known for his hokiness in the One Piece series. This time Oda again showed Buggy's luck by making him one of the new Yonko. It didn't take long, finally Oda Sensei explained the sequence of Buggy's selection to become one of the Sea Emperors.
This turned out to be caused by the misunderstanding of the World Government towards the new force that emerged, namely the Cross Guild Organization.The World Government thought that Buggy was the Leader of the Organization filled with two big names of former Shichibukai, namely Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk.
The World Government assumed this after looking at the Cross Guild's flayer or poster leaflet. Among these big names, Buggy's poster is striking and in the center which makes it seem as if he is the leader of the Cross Guild.
Cross Guild itself became a threat to the World Government after this organization began moving to target the heads of Marine officials. Cross Guild did not hesitate to give bounties to the Navy.Since being designated as one of the Yonko, Buggy currently has a bounty worth 3,189,000,000 Belly.
