They can be sent to prison.
They have crews and allies that could break them out of Impel down no sweat, unless you want to send an Admiral or two to guard them and it all doesn't seem like the most effective thing to do. Also keep in mind this is an Aikainu run Marine force now, I pretty sure under his authority all Yonkou would either be killed on the spot or executed on a later date.
And that Blackbeard can take so much damage! Seriously he sayd that with the Dark Dark Fruit he takes double the Damage and everytime he gets Hit he Cries a litle and then stands up, the only explanation that he regenerates so fast would be if the Theory with the Zoan Fruit model Cerberus was true(ok we dont know that but the hints are there Jolly Roger etc) because Zoans regenerate much faster and can take more damage.
There was nothing about him taking double damage. He just said that he probably feels even more pain then normal people do.
I agree that Oda went a little over the line with how he manages attacks. But then again, he does it with all the Strawhats. What Blackbeard has brushed off is still not much compared to all the damage Luffy, Zoro or even Usopp have sustained and still kept fighting. And neither of them are Zoans.
Always hated that Cerberus theory. And only because of 3 skulls on the flag, which could have dozens of other origins.

I agree with you that holding a yonkou would be too much of a risk.
One admiral wouldn't be enough to guard a yonkou. Admirals are very tough but they are still human, he would have to take breaks to sleep, bathroom ect. So it would take 2 admirals to hold a yonkou that wasn't a willing prisioner (added that due to Roger, though not a yonkou, he was pirate king and equal to Whitebeard).
Add to that, one of the duties of the admirals is to the World Nobles, to protect them … and if a WN gets pissy at a pirate at Saboady, they call an admiral to off the pirate.
I doubt the WNs would agree to have 2 admirals tied up for a large amount of time and not be there to 'protect' them. One yes, but two? That would leave only 1 admiral to take care of everything else. If it was only for a week? yes I can see 2 guarding a yonkou, but over that amount?
Also keep in mind this is an Aikainu run Marine force now, I pretty sure under his authority all Yonkou would either be killed on the spot or executed on a later date.
Hmm that brings up a interesting thought. I would think that the Yonkou would be killed on the spot due to what trouble it would cause if they have an another war. As you pointed out, the youkou's crew and allies to come their leader's side. Not just if they were sent to prison but if they were to be executed at a later date.
At first I thought the WG and Marines wouldn't want to risk such a war. I mean its one thing to plan to execute a commander of a yonkou's crew, its a different thing altogether to try to execute a younkou. As shown in the Marineford war, the leaders usually stay in the background as much as possible giving orders to their officers and grunts. This isn't new its what done in real warfare.
But to have a yonkou, themself, its too much of a risk since they are so powerful. There's too much of a risk of them breaking free and killing much of the marine force. As Whitebeard showed, even though he was in his old age and ill-health, only 4 people at that war had any potential to oppose him = the 3 Admirals and the Fleet Admiral.
On the other side of the argument is that if they did somehow manage to subdue a yonkou long enough to execute him later, that would a big … really, really huge!... positive image boost for the Marines among the civilians. Enough that they would be tempted.
Where they'll be executed. Yes.
The worst criminals were kept alive alive in level six. They would surely get the same treatment.

The most important commanders will probably end up in prison with them. And after that the rest will either fall apart or be busy surviving.

They have caged the golden Lion,Wolf and Shilliew . They can probably caged a Yonko.

It's partially because their crimes themselves were erased from public. The Yonkou would be too famous for that. Not to mention Akainu wouldn't surely miss a chance to make a spectacle out of executing them.

The fact that Level 6 was the most regular out of all the levels in Impel Down.

Shiryuu had no crew or friends to bust him out of jail. As for Shiki I've got no clue why his fleet which was supposed to be the largest at the time didn't bust him out, guess he just wasn't a cool enough dude. I mean just think, if WB was captured and his 16 commanders plus his crew and allies were to storm Impel Down, how many seconds do you think it would last.

Pretty sure the world government is the one who decide who gets executed.
Shiki had the biggest fleet back in the days was known as cunning and Sengoku's prey.

Before Shiki, nobody had ever escaped IP. Also, we don't know if Shiki was going to be held there forever. He could have been very well waiting for his execution.
The biggest prison break happened just 2 years ago. You really think they won't change the way they deal with criminals?
Especially the Emperors. The WG wouldn't lose another chance to display their power and send another message to other pirates.
Honestly, the fact level 6 exists doesn't really make much sense, I mean what benefit did the WG have for letting any of the prisoners there live barring Ace and Jimbei?
And guess what, Shiki, Shiliew and Wolf all fled.
Shiki lost 2 legs and never made a comeback from what we know. Wolf and Shilliew got freed thanks to crazy circumstances and some luck.

Jimbei defected, Moriah got beaten by a rookie and Crocodile tried to take over over a country. They still engaged a guy who cut the arm of an Admiral, Law and Buggy.
Pretty sure they ain't interested in killing Yonko. Ace had the advantage of being affiliated to Roger.

Government, Akainu, no need for nitpicking! They'd just make made public show of it anyway.
I'm saying the government might not be interested. I mean the gates of justice are impenetrable.

The Warlords are a necessary evil. Criminals who hold lots of influence and are essentially the WG's greatest enemies aside from Dragon aren't the same thing.

Based on what?
They seemed very interested in killing Whitebeard.

They seemed interested in killing Ace even if it meant fighting Whitebeard. At least that's how I interpreted it.

Why would they not execute the Emperors if they had the chance?
Really, why keep them alive?

To avoid useless fight. Or because they aren't into killing. Or they like to have them around just in case. Or they aren't into killing old guys. Or they are great experimentation subject. Or I cannot guess the reason.

A similar question should be asked why some of the most dangerous level 6 prisoners who need someone like an Admiral to take them out from the Marines were left alive when they basically slaughtered an entire town (country?) during Robin's flashback. Yes, the information was obviously crucial in that case, but wouldn't having all these prisoners also be incredibly dangerous to the marines.
My feeling.

It was the other way around (they wanted to kill Ace too but Whitebeard was the main target during Marineford). If all they wanted to do was kill Ace they wouldn't have announced it to the world and give Whitebeard time to come.

Because the WG could use the Emperor's execution as a way to show their power and disencourage other pirates. Really, that's why they killed Roger.
Most of the Level 6 people are essentially nobodies to the general population, so executing them doesn't have the same impact.
Funny how all of you think what should happen…
This Oda we are talking about. He won't kill characters unless necessery, no matter how much I would like to see Sakazuki overseeing execution of the Yonkou, and actually succeding.

They're the most dangerous pirates in the world after the Yonko and a few other pirates out in NW. So dangerous that the WG didn't want to upset civilians all around the world when they escaped so they kept it all under wraps. In what way can they be considered nobodies? :S

Blackbeard reputation as a Shichibukai was build on beating Ace. So they wouldn't have the population believe that they are so afraid of a pirate that they killed him without proper arrangements. And they would also gain a boost in their image by fighting to get rid of Roger's blood.

They're so dangerous that the WG doesn't want the general population to know about their worst crimes, so they're nobodies in a relative sense.
You can't use the same excuse for the Emperors though. Everybody and their mothers would be demanding their execution because they're worldwidely infamous and feared.
They tried that technique twice and failed both time.
How? It didn't go as they planned, but the end result was mostly what the WG wanted.

It failed in the sense that the last words of Roger & Whitebeard inspired new pirates.
Instead of making people fearful of the consequence of becoming a pirate, the deaths of Roger and Whitebeard ended one age and triggered a new age of Piracy that came after each of their deaths.

Well, of course it inspired new pirates. That's why I put a "mostly" in that last post.
New Marines were also inspired and the people celebrated. Can't say they failed either.
About freeing people from Impel Down: The prison is also located in the calm belt, correct? For that reason one would not simply be able to free anyone from there. Sure, one could argue ways how that can be bypassed but let's have it in mind.

You said they would execute the emperors when they had the chance, while the same applies to these guys. Would you like to have the small chance they get out or take them all out so even if it happens, they're not on the caliber that only an Admiral or several VAs at once need to go after them.

Again, it's not about strength, but infamy. I personally think it's dumb to keep all those prisoners alive, but those are fictional characters anyway so I guess it's useless to keep discussing this.
In the end, it doesn't really matter. But with Whitebeard dying and Shanks potentially kicking the bucket, I guess it's fair to believe that none of the Emperors will make it out alive.

The first time it created the age of pirates were a a crazy amount of people decided to become pirates. And it seems to me that Ora was doing a parallel to that with Whitebeard's death(which I didn't like). Weren't those inspired by Whitebeard's death already marines?I thought everyone agreed that their plans backfired both time but it seems I was wrong. But I disagree with your opinion.
Ivankov's voice in the anime. Since he's (usually) a man who dresses like a woman I was expecting his voice to be a lot deeper (for lols)

No you got it half wrong. Marines were interested in killing Ace (rather ending Roger's dangerous bloodline) & also eliminate WB. The reason they didn't do it quietly as u said is cuz they wanted to make a spectacle of it and it also serves as a bait to lure out WB. This way Marines were able to fight (and defeat) WB on their own terms and strategies. Killing WB in his territory was not a viable option.

Ivankov is voiced by a friend of Oda who is real life Okama, who the character is also loosely based on.

Oh my god I can't stand his human form
His brain point redesign is a bit too kawaii for me. Liked the old one a lot better.
Lack of blood loss or missing wounds. Like when Shirahoshi got hit by VanderDecken's knife, it just magickly disappeared after a few chapters

While I do agree that One Piece definitely lacks in blood and gore, you simply need to get past the fact that Oda is not too big on violence. I just don't see Oda changing that aspect of his manga and you are better off ignoring that reality and focusing on what you like about One Piece instead. That is just my two cents though,

I don't mind the lack of gore but when wounds disappear like that, then there's a problem. I mean remember Thriller Bark arc? Sanji was stabbed by Absa and then he went off and fight Oars like nothing. Another example is when Jora was "cut" by Brook and we don't see any scar whatsoever. Oh and Law getting shot by Doffy and no wounds at all. He should've bled out
