User blog comment:Marijuanna/Shanks is the weakest Yonko/@comment-27401266-20160605234652

I agree - most people say Shanks is the most powerful just because they like him as a character and he has cool hair because he stopped Kaido from reaching Marineford and Akainu didn't tussle with him. We don't know what went down with him and Kaido, but I'm pretty sure Shanks didn't actually fight him - Kaido most likely didn't want to have a full-scale war with him and Shanks, and Akainu and BB were both tired from the Whitebear War. Don't get me wrong, Shanks is probably hella powerful, and probably could take down BB (at this point in the series, not later on when BB become main antagonist) but he is nowhere near the strongest Yonko. I don't think he even has subordanates beneath his own crew (which is kind of pathetic, seeing how even Luffy does).
