Law has grown tremendously since meeting Luffy, and in Wano he was instrumental in the victory over the Emperors. Law, in a team with Kid, was able to beat Yonko Big Mom away from Onigashima. This gave him a bounty of 3 billion berries and showed how close to the level of a Yonko he is.
In addition to all this, Law has one of the last valuable and coveted Devil Fruits in One Piece – Ope Ope no Mi. This versatile fruit makes him one of a kind pirate.
Eustace Kid

Devil Fruit: Jiki Jiki no Mi

Haki: Armament, Observation, Conqueror's
Eustass Kid, like Law, played a major role in Wano. Together, the two managed to deal with the threat of Yonko Big Mom. In Wano, Kid was able to show off his awakened Devil Fruit, making him a force to be reckoned with.
In addition to that, Kid can also use all three types of Haki and he is one of the few in the Worst Generation to have this power. If Kid is still alive, he can definitely rise to Yonko's level in the final saga of One Piece.
