I think they will recruit three new ones. When crocodile was stripped off his title the elected blackbeard on his place. I thik now similar will happen. But I don't think that any of the supernovas will become a shichibukai. It's more likely that some new will be intorduced, like Brownbeard. Or some known enemies from the East Blue arc, like Arlong, Morgan or Alvida.
