Most OP fans wonder, “Why does almost every high-ranking Marine have a Devil Fruit?”So when I came across it, I decided to drop the real reason behind One Piece Marine. This is a simple theory, which I believe most people who ever wondered about the subject would have figured out.

Why does it appear that every high-ranking Marine possesses a Devil Fruit?
I believe this points to the theory that the World Government has a vault with Devil Fruits in it.
Whenever a Marine proves themselves and does something that helps the Marines as a whole greatly, such as maybe arresting or killing a large number of pirates either over their career or in one battle, or saving the life of someone important, they are given a promotion and a Devil Fruit.
This is why Marines have Devil Fruit powers, especially Admirals.
This is further proven by CP9 when 2 members of the group were given Devil Fruits as rewards for their work.
There are a few exceptions, like Monkey D. Garp, but I would say that is, more or less, just them refusing it.
What did you think about this theory? Let me hear from you via the comments section.
