Whenever a Shichibukai meeting was held, the Marine Fleet Admiral would inevitably attend.
In addition, there would be five Vice Admirals.
That was the standard lineup for the Marines' side of the meeting.
Fujitora had not been in the Marines for long. Although he was powerful, his military record was not yet enough to qualify him for the position of Vice Admiral.
