While Akainu is the current fleet admiral, you still have Kong, who is the Commander-in-Cheif of the whole government (he only answers to the Gorosei) and he used to be fleet admiral himself. He's got to be extremely powerful. With Whitebeard's words about how the world will be engulfed in a grand battle after One Piece is found makes me think that Luffy becoming the pirate king may not be the end of the series.
