Four Dragons

The Yonko are the four most powerful pirates in the World of Gourd Roger. The term has been obsolete since the Great Age of Bandits ended in the year 1780 or 160 years before the start of the storyline. However, piracy sought a revival with an economic crisis and the introduction of the airship. Soon, four pirate captains managed to become too powerful that the Marines need their entire force to stop just one them. This led to the revival of the term Yonko which was used to refer to the four most powerful pirates of their time.

These four pirate captains once again decided to reside the New World and split the region into four individual "empires" led by each of the four members.
