Fujitora's sudden ascension to marine admiral from goodness knows where is rather sudden. Indeed, a lot of Dressrosa's arc seems to be comprised of the sudden and inexplicable. But whilst it has to be admitted that the particulars of his past need to be expounded at some point, I don't mind too much as his approach to his new job (alright for some ¬_¬) intrigues. The way he plays at being admiral seems to mirror the way he played at roulette earlier on: he'll act the fool until he has absolute conviction, before coming down hard on all those foolish enough to underestimate him. As you say, he's very straight forward thinking, and therefore quite lethal to the likes of both Law and Doflamingo, who prefer to keep things twisty and complex. In summary: He's a loose cannon, and I love that he's been thrown into the mix, so I'll happily stave off the questions as to where he was thrown from for now. Perhaps the drafting of powerful external figures (who are not pirates) into the marines was the compensation the World Government granted to Akainu after Aokiji left?
