After the release of the newest chapter, a lot of people believe that the Beasts Pirates don’t seem that threatening and that they’re weak or overhyped. They also believe it seems pretty simple for the Alliance to walk in and beat them.
The Beasts Pirates lack any team synergy and they aren’t self- sufficient. Compared to the Straw Hats or the Big Mom Pirates, Kaido’s crew is very weak in those areas and that is their downfall in the raid.
Team synergy is vital for a normal crew in the New World. For the Beasts Pirates, there is almost none, with the exception of Ulti and Page One (and that’s only of familial bonds). In order to advance ranks within the crew, you can challenge any of the Calamities if you are a Tobiroppo, or you can become a Tobiroppo if you are a strong enough Headliner.
This causes discourse between the crew and rivalries can erupt, which why the Tobiroppo don’t work together usually (except Ulti and Page One) and only look out for themselves in their own groups. This is also seen through the Calamities with Queen and King usually bickering, but unlike Zoro and Sanji, they can’t put their differences aside in order to fight a bigger problem (such as when Big Mom first came to Wano).
The Beasts Pirates, to me, are the most dysfunctional crew in the entire series. They aren’t self-sufficient like the Big Mom Pirates are without Charlotte Linlin. Without Kaido giving them commands, this entire crew collapses from the inside out. There isn’t really a second leader that’ll give them commands, like you have with Katakuri/Perospero with the BM Pirates, or Zoro/Sanji with the Straw Hats. For example, Queen would be a terrible second leader because of the whole Ice Oni business, and King kinda just keeps to himself and only acts if their is a big problem on the horizon. The Tobiroppo don’t really care unless there is a prize, such as finding Yamato to fight an All-Star.
The only things that the Beasts Pirates have is the fear of Kaido. But, to the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance, fear means nothing to them as they put their lives the line already. The numbers would matter, if not for Otama (with the assistance of Ussop and Nami) slowly changing the Gifters with her Devil Fruit and Queen being an idiot hitting his own men. Crews in the future won’t lack in these things.
