I don't know japanese, but in english it may be simply "the great puppeteer". This fits not only with his power, but even with his wishes of deciding what must be done. Two examples: at Mariejois he asked Sengoku to let him [Black beard] become a shichibukai, and at Marineford he hoped that marines let Ace and Luffy escape, because it was funny. He asks for peple to do what he likes. And as a puppeteer he would like to be present during the big happenings: that's why he became a shichibukai, to be allowed to go anywhere he likes for example mariejois (for marine's meetings).
