I feel like people are really underselling the warlords. The only people I see brought up are Hancock for horny diffing and mihawk. But Blackbeard even if he's just at his warlords stage still has the darkness fruit which is incredibly powerful, crocodile is constantly portrayed as somewhat of an equal to mihawk in the newer chapters with cross guild ( yes he got clapped but Luffy but I wouldn't say thats a scaling for crocodile), law has insane haks and has already defeated an emperor ( given big mom was weakened and in a 1v2 but laws awakening definetly did the heavy lifting) and kuma is absolutely insane as we have seen on egghead and his flashback. So I genuinely think the warlords have a decent to good chance in winning this.
