Luffy may be awesome, but he's definitely not a Yonkou. you can tell because shanks said he would be breaking his promise to talk to him, and his promise was something like, come see me when you've become a really strong pirate. so, obviously shanks doesn't believe he was strong enough, and since he's been doing nothing but training since then, theres no way the government could acknowledge him as a Yonkou.
