Forum:Past yonko

i asume because blackbeard took whitebeards spot that the yonko have been around for a while and replace each other so is it possible that people like Shiki and Roger were once yonko aswell?

I don't think GR is the type of guy who would be a yonkou. But it's possible that Shiki has been one. Atleast that's what I think.

I believe the opposite. I don't think shiki would be in jail if he had been one of the yonkou. remember the navy didnt even have a big presence in the new world at that time, and they dont seem interested in hunting down the yonkou.

As for Gold Roger, he could have eneded up with that title unwittingly just becuase of his power and influence. Case in point whitebeard didnt have any dreams like that and after seeing his backstory who would think he becomes a yonkou.

Anyway, I think this whole discussion might be mute. This was all before the great pirate era. The yonkou and the warlords prob didnt exist, and there wouldn't be four "emporers" on the sea if roger had obtained the title of "king".

but surely the 20 years between GR's death and luffy becoming a pirate some of the yonko will have changed like the shichibukai

i agree that it only makes sense, but it wouldnt be shiki cuz he was in jail or hiding. anyone else who was, but isnt a yonkou now would have to be dead so I don't think we will learn anything concrete untill maybe when we get backstorys for big mam or that kaido guy. They still have a lot Oda is probably saving about Shank's pirate life for later too that we will get to see like his fights with mihawk!
