Kong - he could have ensured a victory, as he was still part of the WG.

Blackbeard - that still doesnt change the fact that he probably couldnt have done it on his own

Shiki - is that even canon? remeber that shiki fought roger and only lost due to a storm

Shanks - hes a freakin yonkou. Enough said.

Kaido/Big Mam - you are going off of reputations right? big mam's name alone is enough to protect fishman island (whitebeard resemblance) and a battle between shanks and kaido was considered to be almost as bad as the whitebeard war. Plus they are yonkou, and have their own territories.

Goruesei - they may have been fighters one day, or they could have gotten scars from a cutting accident. Either way, why didnt they enter the action too?

For kong and the goruesei, the battle was between the marines and the whitebeard pirates (shicibukai too). But the Wg was on the marines side, and if they wanted to win, they could have interfered with kong and the officials. So why didnt they?
