then again MDM, you have to remember that the marines don't decide who the shichibukai are, the world govt does, more specifically its the gorusei. Also if you remember Sengoku hated the shichibukai so that proves that the fleet admiral doesn't have a say about the shichibukai & I'm pretty sure a couple different shichibukai have argued with marines & said that they don't work for them(the marines) but work for the WG
