An Arabian puzzle

It's corrupt gatekeepers, that makes the fruitsellers of the country hard to reach to their Queen. To reach to the Queen, one has to pass through the 7 gates. In each gate there is gatekeeper where the fruitseller has to give half of his fruits to him and after inspecting fruits gatekeeper will give 1 back to the seller. This is repeated at each gate.

A clever fruitseller is able to reach finally to Queen, at this time only 2 fruits were left with the fruitseller. Then what was the total no of fruits he had in the beginning?
