I just don't see them going to reclaim their turf after WB's death. It was WB's name protecting those Island, with him gone, the deterrant was gone.
And after WB died, Jinbei went to Big Mom to get her to protect the Island. It seems up until that point, no one made any attempt to claim it as their own, least of all BB. If Marco & co wanted to protect the Island or could have, they would have. |

^Well, I guess whether or not Marco and the remaining commanders tried to defend their pops' territory depends on Blackbeard's strength around the time they started to take action. For instance, if he had already started gathering DF powers shortly after the time he had captured Bonney, then I could see how he would be a problem for the Whitebeard remnants even back then. However, it WOULD be strange for them to just stand by and twiddle their thumbs while their former turf gets stolen by a traitor. I mean, remember that it's not just the remaining commanders who could have taken him on, but the 43 NW crews that were allied with Whitebeard, as well. So all I can assume is that Teach gained a huge amount of power in a rather short amount of time is Marco and the rest were unable to reclaim any of their old turf during the skip.....

Also, a factor might play in that there are 40 pirate crews that even WB can't get them to officially join his crew, and only Allies, albeit being a really royal ones.
Either way, I doubt Marco has the charisma to united those crews completely. I also agree that those territories really are more protected by the name than anything else. I doubt even if WB still alive he can reclaim all troubled territory out right. He not Multiple Man. Besides Marco would have more issue to dealt with between the possible interference from BB and other Yonku to the new FA and his Marine. Speaking of Bonney...

Heh, y'know thinking about it, it does seem kind of odd that Jimbei would take the time to tell Luffy about Blackbeard and the changes in the marines, but did not take the time to tell him the changes in the Shichibukai. But eh, whatever, just a minor point; oda's gotta keep some secrets from the readers or we would not have awesome surprises like what we got with the previous chapter.

That's an interesting point. The only thing I would point out is that it also depend on how Marine view the WB's crew.
WB's last words about OP might not allow them to offer the Shikibukai position to Marco and crew if they believe Marco and other command might know the truth behind OP.

Just reading up on everyone's favourite clown and read this -

interesting... makes me think that because of the crew he now commands WG has thought him useful, possibly. |

That's the scene with message bat which is seen in other Shikibukai appointment and the main recent why people believe he's a Shikibukai now.

Spoiler:
Buggy's poster does not have 'case closed' like the other Shichibukai. Sorry to have popped your bubble Quote:
It's just a coincidence. Stop reading into everything, Jesus.

Care to make a list of those wanted poster names, I can't see some of them clearly. And be sure to mention which are Shichibukai and which are deceased (which surpisingly doesn't include Brook despite being a skeleton).

When it comes down to it, those wanted posters don't reveal anything we didn't already know and that include Law's new status as that promotional was made AFTER his reveal. In fact, many of the pictures they used for those wanted posters are not pics that Oda himself came up with for their wanted posters, but pictures that were just ripped out from the manga. Hell each of the supernova's even show of their pre-timeskip looks and not their updated looks like they did with Law. . Another thing I would note is the new pictures we see in the latest manga chapter which shows that starwhats except for Choppy, Franky and Robin have all gotten updated pictures; pictures that are not up on that wall. Hell, Moria is listed as "Cased closed" and yet we know that he was removed from his position and the WG claims he died; we understand he is not, but that's their official story; he should be either listed as "deceased" or his poster would have been reactivated if the public found out the truth of his survival. Frankly, that wall has A LOT of problems. When it comes down to it, the poeple that put together that wall of wanted posters only knew what the manga or Oda told them. In short, don't mistake a promotional item as "word of god".
