For the record, I'm not making this titles argument seriously, sarcasm falls flat on the internet.

Whitebeard wasn't simply feared cause he was a Yonkou, he was feared because he commanded the world's strongest crew and the number of his allies were great in numbers. If he came to the war alone, he wouldn't achieved squat and the Marines wouldn't have dreaded a war with him, what made him truly fearsome was the strength of crew he commanded as well as his powers.
@Bolded: When did I say that?
Any pirate is greatly aided by his crew. There's been no denial to that point. The title of PK is not " gained by a one man individual crew, that much has been made obvious". Roger didn't become Pirate King on his own, that doesn't mean his title isn't a genuine testament of his individual power.Pirate King like Yonkou means a few things. It means immense strength, influence, a powerful crew, powerful allies, well, you get the point.
The core meaning of the Yonkou title is strength above all other pirates aside from other Yonkou, then things get dicy. Obviously their crews come into further down the line, no doubt. There's more to it then just strength, of course.
Quote:Read on to what Garp says, "The Marines and The Shichibukai exist to counterbalance them" and "Their power is so influential that "Three Powers" become unbalanced, the peace of the world would crumble" Garp is obviously not only speaking of them as individuals but what they are capable of as crews. Unless of course you believe The Marines and The Shichibukai exist to balance the monstrously strong captains without taking the crews into the equation?
@bolded: That's called expanding on the concept.
You're ignoring what I said.

Obviously, I'm not leaving the crew out of the equation.

No.
I don't see how the title of WGS surpasses that of a Yonkou.
