I agree with everyone of your point which is why i said at the end if he does become one it probably will not be for a long period of time. The Yonko only settled because they were forced to by competition. At the rate Luffy grows in strength it's only a short amount of time before he can be considered on that level. At the pace the story is moving forward I can see it happening in about 3 story archs. I think Cipher Pol will sweep in after one of these Yonko battles and with them "capturing" either Kaido or Big Mom it will leave the space open and the WG will fill it with an upstart (Luffy). I don't have an idea about how he will gather territory besides the kingdoms he has helped and will help vouching for him at Reverie, maybe even a future one.
