Well about Enel, yes he is overrated but so is Lucci, just his df alone is enough for Enel to be a more dangerous opponent than Lucci. Enel was running from Luffy only because Luffy's unique trait made him flabbergasted.

Now about the war, how exactly did Mihawk help? He and Vista traded blows but it was Vista who stopped Mihawk not the other way. Mihawk offered the truce and since Mihawk is of course the stronger of the two, he was on the passive side. Aside from that Mihawk only took down cannon fodders and not even many of them. Oh yes he fought Daz Bones and beat him but Bones is not an ally or part of Whitebeards crew so he should not be counted in the scaling.

My point was an Yonko could be beaten by Marines and if that is the case then Jinbe would be there automatically as an ally is a mut point as then Shichibukai would be there automatically as allies.

Doflamingo did stop Atomos and Jozu for a while but did not finish them off. Atmos was fighting till the end, Aokiji dealt with Jozu.

Hancock caused more trouble than help, she beat Smoker up, Destroyed Pacifista and general marines and only beaten fodder on the pirate side.

Moriah only had a face off with Curiel and some fodder fight.

The only significant part was Oars Jr. and I agree that was something to count. However Luffy did not make a difference was not accurate. Luffy single handedly freed Ace, faced off against Garp, got Sengoku to make a physical move. Distracted all the three Admirals. Diverted Mihawks attention and that was nothing?

Ayet-san's blog was about an Yonko's assault and that means the fight has to be on the Marine's ground. It would be on the Yonko's ground if it was a Marine's assault.

If Ace was not Captured then there would be not as many Allys coming in either. Specially Oars came only for Ace. Although then Squardo won't betray and Whitebeard won't be wounded. However without Ace Garp would fight seriously.
