If Buggy didn't take a Yonkou place, who would be a yonkou now? Post-Wano spoilers GUYS, BE CAREFUL

Shanks, Blackbeard, Luffytaro and who else? Say if the world figured out that Buggy is an idiot who belongs in East Blue (let's assume it's true). Who would become yonkou? Or would it not happen immediately? I'm thinking it may have been Kidd, before Shanks took him out.

I actually would have preferred Crocodile to become a Yonkou instead of Buggy. Both were classic One Piece villains but I could take Crocodile far more seriously.

I don't think there's anyone who could even come remotely close to filling that role. No other pirate has the same level of influence that the Straw Hats do with a substantial grand fleet of non-fodder allies. And even with that, the Straw Hats were still too weak to be considered a true Yonko crew until after they defeated Kaido.

The only pirate I could make an argument for would be Mihawk solely due to how powerful he is individually, but he obviously doesn't have a crew so wouldn't have qualified.

Who took Big Mom's old territories? I'm guessing Luffy took Kaidou's. Did she lose her power and territory in the world after her defeat, or could her or Kaidou still be considered a Yonkou if Buggy was gone (without them needing to go and capture any of Buggy's territory?

I don't know. I just reread Egghead last night and we see a segment showing her family watching Vegapunk's message from their island. So maybe they've maintained their territory somehow. If she returned I fail to see how she couldn't be considered one of the Yonko again. Her crew is far more powerful than Cross Guild.
