The Yonko are the four most notorious and most powerful pirate captains in the world (according to the World Government), but are neither allies nor enemies of one another, preferring to remain autonomous under most circumstances. These four individually reside within the second half of the Grand Line (known as the "New World"), exerting impressive influence and control over dozens of other pirate crews and self-governing islands.[break][break]
As an entity, the Yonko are one of the Three Great Powers of the world, the others being the Shichibukai and Marines. Their strength and influence are such that they live quite literally as though they are emperors, doing mostly as they please. Individually, they are considered to be the most powerful pirates in the world, as well as having a powerful crew. Because of their power, they can declare chosen locations as their own; the mere declaration is often enough for others, both Marines and pirates alike, to acknowledge their authority.[break][break]
In fact, in the New World, they each have a territory that they govern. These territories benefit from the protection the emperors provide, keeping the borders safe from any faction that might want to invade them. It is only with the combined efforts of the Marines and the Shichibukai, as well as the distrust among them, that keeps their power in check.[break][break]
The Yonko themselves are not allied together as a coalition compared to the Shichibukai and follow their own individual paths. The possibility of two or more of the Yonko forming an alliance is enough of a threat to cause the World Government to panic. A war between two of the Yonko is considered a terrifying crisis.[break][break]
They can motivate others to become pirates. On top of this, the influence these pirates have over others is far greater than any other noted group. that there are only two methods of surviving in the New World, and that is to be protected under the umbrella of a Yonko's dominion and become their ally or to constantly oppose their authority.[break][break]
Because of their immense power, it is necessary for factions aiming to oppose them to first strike an alliance with other factions in order to bring the Yonko down. However, even with multiple alliances amongst powerful pirates, the chances of defeating a Yonko are still extremely low.
In order to take a Yonko's position, one must control five islands within the new world to prove their might as well as making sure a Yonko spot is open which means challenging and defeating a Yonko in battle. Although it would be much easier to take the five islands that single Yonko control and then fight that Yonko any five islands can be taken so long as they are in the new world; be warned though that taken islands from a Yonko is a great way to paint a target on yourself also a challenge to a Yonko does not have to be one crew vs one crew it could be done any way possible though only one captain of one crew can be the Yonko.
