User blog comment:28Hermes78/Who will be the next Admiral?/@comment-3984044-20110508185322

i was thinking a water type or earth type- cuz you would expect the admiral to be pretty powerful- and if i remember there are some types of devil fruits that negate the effect of water on the user- for example- aokiji- during the whitebeard war- he fell into the water then froze it- but there are only a few that can prevent this- so i suspect that the water element is one of these

another guess would have to be a vice-admiral we've already seen or heard mention by name(no name comes to mind)- or perhaps one that we havent seen yet- maybe for a change this new admiral will have no devil fruit power or a paramecia or zoan type- maybe he/she is stationed in the marineheadquarters G5 in new world

smoker does look like he could become an admiral and i wouldnt be suprised if he does- but not now- of course his rank is too low- but i suspect as one piece goes on he will rise through the ranks- maybe years later we'll see him as an admiral

i guess it wont be long until we see this new admiral- but does there have to be 3 of them???- why not more???- maybe they'll change how many admirals there will be due to the huge increase in piracy since the war ended- so theyre gonna need to build up theyre strength
