User blog comment:Nino ronin/Shichibukai Position Vacancy!/@comment-53539-20100417063844

The thing I'd like to point out, is that unless the group is renamed, the title remains even with the decrease in number. Its the same thing I brought up on the Yonkou page with Whitebeard's death. Whitebeard is a Yonkou even in death, so the group retains their group name even with 3 members left. The Shichibukai name also remains no matter how many members are left. :-/
