What is a yonko?

In the One Piece universe created by Eiichiro Oda, the term "Yonko" (meaning "Four Emperors" in Japanese) refers to the four most powerful pirates in the world. These pirates are considered to be the most formidable and influential individuals in the seas, with each of them commanding their own vast pirate crews and territories.

The current Yonko in the One Piece story are:

  1. Edward Newgate, also known as Whitebeard - Known for his immense physical strength and mastery of the devil fruit power that allows him to create earthquakes and tsunamis.

  2. Charlotte Linlin, also known as Big Mom - A gluttonous woman with a sweet tooth and the ability to manipulate souls with her devil fruit power.

  3. Kaido of the Beasts - Known for his incredible physical strength and durability, as well as his invincibility due to his devil fruit power.

  4. Marshall D. Teach, also known as Blackbeard - A cunning and ruthless pirate who possesses the power of two devil fruits, making him a formidable opponent in battle.

As the Yonko, these pirates are constantly vying for power and control in the pirate world, engaging in battles and forming alliances to further their own ambitions. They are feared and respected by all other pirates and are considered to be the ultimate goal for aspiring pirates seeking to make a name for themselves on the Grand Line.
