User blog comment:AYET/Yonko Territorial Claim/@comment-6920514-20130523225334

I think there are a lot of subtleties about the Yonkos' territories. For instance, there are the islands under their personal protection like WB with Fishman Island and then there are those like Dressrosa where Doflamingo watches over with a somewhat shaky alliance with Kaido. The latter seems fine enough for crews of the other Yonko to hang around like Burgess but isn't the same as the former with the example being FI. I don't think the range of territory is all that important it's the strategic advantage that it offers. If Shanks has only a few islands those are probably the only ones he needs. The only goal being to ultimately defeat one another.
