oh man i totally forgot to comment about your blog,

first off i think that the marines themselves could amass a large enough force from their ranks to take on a yonko without the help of the warlords but i believe they do not do this solely for the reason as it would be really inconvenient for them (like the time and organization it would require) which is why they have the warlords to do stuff for them that would otherwise be inconvenient for them. now we must also remember that not only was whitebeard the most powerful man in the world but he also had the largest crew and 44 allied crews so i believe the force require for them to take down a yonko would be significantly less then the one at marineford my theory is that it would consist of: 1 admiral, 7-10 vice admirals, about 30 rear admirals and maybe 30,000 other soldiers

furthermore i believe the relative power of the marine force is not so much more powerful PTS, i think that was just propaganda. but i believe they are slowly growing in power as sakazuki is probably using his powers of FA to recruit more soldiers and train them better and maybe even convinced the gorosei to put more money into financing the marines and weapons and vegapunk's experiments, not enough for them to discard the warlords though.

finally i believe that the WG have had measures in place for when the warlords leave their position since long before sakazuki was FA, first off i think CP0 may be a factor in this but i also believe that depending on which warlord it was and how strong they are they could just send an admiral or VA after them as the warlords range in power and are not all above the power of a VA or below the power of an admiral (which are not defined either)
