The Worst Generation is an incredibly important group in One Piece world that is currently taking the seas by storm. They arrived in the Sabaody Archipelago with a bounty of 100 million berries or more, and are unanimously considered the most dangerous pirate generation of all time.
The worst generation shows that they are absolutely huge with each passing arc, and considering that this generation has been unmatched in the history of One Piece world, it is no surprise to see them accomplish great things. Fans have already seen them accomplish the impossible in arcs like Wano, creating new upheavals day after day in the new world. During their incredible run, Worst Generation has accomplished some amazing feats.

Acquire positions of Shichibukai
The worst generation has managed to acquire the positions of Shichibukai, and it is very impressive indeed. The Shichibukai are powerful pirates that are part of one of the three great powers of the One Piece World, or at least they were before they were finally disbanded. Two of the members of the Worst Generation known to fans were the Shichibukai. These were Blackbeard, and of course Trafalgar Law. Blackbeard gained this position after capturing Portgas D. Ace and turning him over to the Navy. Meanwhile, Law was given the position of Shichibukai after delivering 100 pirate hearts to the navy.

Beat Big Mom's Commanders
Another incredible feat of the worst generation pirates is making waves in the New World against the Imperial crews. Many of the worst generation pirates have fought against the emperors and taken down their commanders.
Fans have seen this happen on several occasions in history now. The first to do so was Urouge, and he beat Charlotte Snack. Luffy ended up defeating Cracker and Katakuri. Meanwhile, Zoro defeated the King in Wano. Kid and Killer damaged one of Big Mom's Sweet Commanders. It's safe to say that against the Yonko commanders, the worst generation has incredibly amazing feats to show for it and has had it pretty easy overall. Beating the Yonko Commanders is extremely impressive and it stands as one of their best feats to date.

Steal the Path Ponglyphs
The Worst Generation can be considered the closest One Piece right now and it's safe to say they have quite a few of the Poneglyphs required to claim One Piece. Luffy himself has three of the four Road Poneglyphs and right now he is the closest man One Piece.
Kid had some Road Poneglyphs, and so did Law, but both ended up losing their Poneglyphs in their respective battles against Shanks and Blackbeard. Blackbeard himself has some Road Poneglyphs now, and he's pretty close One Piece also.

Taking down Yonko Big Mom
One of the greatest achievements of the worst generation is taking down Big Mom. This was accomplished by Kid and Law joining forces. Both combined incredibly well to fight the Yonko of the Sea, Big Mom. To defeat the monster that was Charlotte Linlin, Kid and Law had to harness the power of their Devil Fruit Awakening. Kid displayed the power of the awakened Jiki Jiki no Mi, allowing him to turn Big Mom into a magnet, while Law made the big difference with his awakened Ope Ope no Mi, with which he tore through Big Mom's defenses and inflicted fatal internal damage. Despite strong Awakenings, Kid and Law struggled quite a bit in this fight. Although largely outclassed for the first half of the battle, they managed to pull through and send her crashing off Onigashima, defeating her in the process. Doing so cost them all their energy, and they were also on their last legs.

Taking down Yonko Kaido
One of the worst generation's greatest achievements is taking down the strongest Yonko, Kaido. Kaido was considered the strongest being, as well as the strongest pirate by many. He was eventually taken down by none other than Luffy in the Wano of One Piece. The Worst Generation took on Kaido together at first, but it became increasingly clear that they were largely ineffective. Later, Kid and Killer went to deal with Big Mom, while Zoro and Law were sent overboard. Luffy rose to the occasion against Kaido all by himself and made a significant dent in his defense by tapping into the advanced Supreme King Haki.
Eventually, Luffy managed to awaken the power of his Devil Fruit, and it is this awakening that allowed him to overwhelm the Yonko and claim victory using a massive attack called the Bajrang Gun. This was a huge achievement for the worst generation, especially for Luffy himself. By doing this, he rose to the position of emperor and became feared throughout the world.

Takes down Whitebeard
The Worst Generation has been absolutely everywhere in One Pieceand even when it comes to Whitebeard's fall, they have their handprint on it too. Whitebeard fell in the Paramount War, after he tried to free Portgas D. Ace at the cost of his own life. However, it wasn't the Navy that took him down. At the end of the war, the person who ended up taking him down was none other than Blackbeard himself.
As such, Whitebeard's fall is also credited to the Worst Generation, especially Blackbeard, who later went on to defeat the Whitebeard pirates in the Grudge War as well. Teach also greatly increased his strength by consuming the Paramecia-type Gura Gura no Mi, becoming the first man in known history with two Devil Fruit abilities. Subsequently, Blackbeard also fought in the Rocky Port Incident, where he defeated Wang Zhi, thus becoming an Emperor of the Sea.

To acquire two of the four emperor positions
Right now, the worst generation may be the strongest group in the world One Piece world. Two of the Yonko positions are filled by the Worst Generation members. After the events of Wano and Kaido's successful defeat, Luffy ended up becoming an Emperor of the Sea. Before him, Blackbeard had acquired this position during the time jump after he managed to take Pirate Island with the help of Trafalgar Law and Koby.
Aside from these two, there are other Worst Generation members who have infamy in the same league as Yonko, such as Eustass Kid and Trafalgar Law, both of whom have a bounty of 3 billion berries on their heads. Others, like Jewelry Bonney, have huge potential to reach sky-high levels in the future thanks to broken Devil Fruit abilities. It's clear for the fans to see that Worst Generation already has huge accomplishments under their belt, and they're far from done. As the Final Saga of One Piece continues, the Worst Generation will continue to grow significantly in power and influence, and that's something we absolutely can't wait to see.
