I think you're severely underestimating the Revolutionaries. Dragon's THE most wanted man on the planet and is likely as strong as Garp was during his prime. The Revolutionaries have always been compared with the Marines and Yonko as a third faction. Iva even mentions during the escape from Impel Down when he thought Ace was Dragons son, that it's unlikely that the Marines would risk fighting the RA adn WB at the same time.

Kuma was once one of Dragons confidants. Iva was treated in a similar way to Jinbe and Crocodile. So it stands to reason that the RA commanders are at least as strong as the warlords.

Doflamingo mantions that the RA has their own monsters. But yeah from the vibes I was getting from Dragon I'm pretty sure this is just going to be a declaration not an actual battle.
