How do you get selected for Yonkou anyway? If you just proclaim yourself to be a Yonkou and probably claim some islands as your territory then it is possible that Blackbeard might be a Yonkou, although I am not certain he'd actually be all that interested in the title. As for the supernovas becoming Shichibukai, the only one I could possibly see becoming one is Basil Hawkings, because the world government wouldn't give the position to the civilian slaughtering Eustass Kid (he wouldn't want to become a Warlord anyway), neither to Law, because of his involvement in the War, nor to Drake, seeing that he is an ex rear-admiral. And judging from what we've seen so far from the Supernovas, hawkins might be the only available one that is strong enough. Fleet Admiral will hopefully be Aokiji (although we might be in for a surprise there). Smoker, also notorious for refusing promotions will probably be a Vice or Rear-Admiral and Coby might be a Commander, Lieutenant Commander, with Helmeppo being one rank beneath.
