With the recent background information about Aramaki and Issho, with the exception of Sengoku, all five men who have served as Admirals come from low-class backgrounds. But what I find unusual is I believe there has been no cases of any Marine officer actually having a title of nobility and/or royalty serving in said Marines. (Rociante was a ex-CD, so I wouldn't say he counts). Especially when you consider how classist the World Government is.
And when you look at the navies of the kingdoms of Spain, Britain, France, etc. during the Age of Sail, the officers who would be Rear Admirals, Vice Admirals and full Admirals would be nothing *but* nobility. Or in comparison to the IJN, where several famous officers would be elevated to the Peerage for their services, such as Gensui Togo, for example.
It's nothing excatly important, I just find it interesting how the Marines of One Piece are uniquely low-class across the board.
