He is one of the strongest men from the New World, but he lost because he was distracted a second, I mean your pops almost gets killed and you're fighting Kizaru....who wouldn't lose in the second they're distracted if they're fighting someone who is as fast as the speed of light? He would be a very good commander, but he didn't reach the rank of Yonkou if you would want to believe that, he isn't gonna risk the lives of his comrades to fight BB, he would understand that WB would want that too, BB defeated Ace and killed WB, they shouldn't try to get more meaningless revenge and lose more lives during that.

He has a high reputation and high respect in the New World, many would understand that even though he's not WB, he's a very strong individual. He is a commander of one of WB's divisions and the 1st mate....since its like that, he must have a history of events and battles with WB, maybe he's one of the first people to join WB...

I can imagine his ship, one of the remaining ones from the battle of Marineford with one of the Sails with WB's flag and the other one with his flag, he would still hold some territory, but not as much as WB held, to protect some of the places he has to protect. He would do everything WB would've wanted to after his death, thats the thing that would hold him and the rest of his crew united, thats why I can say that they didn't disband after what happened. Jozu can still fight, everybody else as well, it might've crippled them a bit, this war, but their will is strong, the will of a pirate from the NW.
