They are viewed as forces of nature in the sense that they cannot be opposed. If an earthquake hits, you cannot punch it into submission, you can only hide and hope that it doesn't kill you. Same with a hurricane. I understand that they are considered abnormalities, but this is how powerful individuals are seen. In another work of fiction, a powerful individual known as the Lord Ruler was considered that same. As far as anyone was concerned, he was a force of nature, their absolute ruler, and their god. There was a time before he came to power, but ever since he did, people have assumed that any rebellion against him would end in failure, any resistance utterly pointless. Those who have opposed him as a result, have conditioned themselves to take joy in expected massacres. For instance, if five thousand people were butchered who took up resistance to him, then that would be considered a mighty victory even if they didn't achieve anything. Such is the power of the Lord Ruler, in their eyes he cannot be opposed anymore then you can keep the sun from rising or winter from coming. Death is inevitable for all who try, the only certainty is that he will exist and rule over all forever. Such is how the Yonko wish to be viewed, such is how the world government would like to think of themselves. That overconfidence, that sense of imminent victory, that is why they cannot comprehend the idea of defeat. Eneru never considered that he would meet anyone who opposed him, thus his breakdown when he met Luffy. Luffy on the other hand, knows he can die. He knows he can lose, and that makes his adventure even more fun for him. The challenge, the struggle, the effort needed to succeed, that is what makes this adventure worthwhile. That being said, their loyalty to their friends and loved ones is more important to them then their lives. For these people they would journey to hell and back. This is not typical of most pirates, many pirates would likely backstab their family if it would gain them something. This friendship, this loyalty, this bond that they have, makes them strong. Individually, they can only accomplish so much but together they can ensure that their respective dreams come true. It will not be easy, but it is possible. They will need their friends and their fleet at some point. The world wants them dead for the most part, the Yonko are seeking their heads, and the danger is growing as even the most powerful forces in the world are acknowledging their presence, power, and threat. The more we get into this world, the more we learn of how much we don't know and how much we need to see things change.
