I think the key here is the scene where Sengoku nominates Kuzan for fleet admiral to Kong meaning he can't decide it by himself. We still don't know who decides the promotions, if it's done within the marine organisation or if the WG has something to do with it via a civil personel marine department.I'll have to agree with Zori though that Akainu won't forget about Koby any sooner and if it was in his hand he would go and take him out in the infirmary right after the war.But i believe that's where Garp stepped in..
