Evaluate Shanks' power compared to other Yonko

All Yonko one piece The world is incredibly powerful, but in this day and age, the most powerful person is definitely Shanks. Because none of the other Yonko are in their prime right now. Buggy is more of an outlier since he doesn't have the power to be anywhere near a Yonko. On the other hand, despite his strength, Luffy has some drawbacks. His Gear 5 doesn't last long and his Haki is obviously nowhere near Shanks level, so it's impossible for him to become stronger than the red-headed Yonko.

Blackbeard is currently the closest person to Shanks, but he is not at the peak of his power as he himself has confirmed. His hunt for powerful Devil Fruits continues, which means he wants more power before facing off against other Emperors and taking over the world. Shanks is clearly the most powerful of the Yonko line at the moment and will likely continue to dominate in the final saga.

All the strength and power of Redhead Shanks
