My bet: A number of the swords won’t have a current master.
Ryumas Shusui was in a grave in Wano and later on Thriller Bark.
My second bet: Most are safeguarded by WG.
I predict at least 4-5 swords that we saw in front of the Empty Throne are top 12 or top 21 swords. Makes sense that the Royalty that laid them down had access to such top swords. That might be why their whereabouts are unknown.
And similar to WG handing admirals top DF the WG can also provide Gorosei, Admirals or Other staff top swords.
That would explain Color Admirals, Fujitora & Green Bull. It could also explain Nasjuro, Magellan and Shiryu. CP0 boss as well down the line.
