There wont be any new shichibukai. Garp himself said there must be a balance in power between the yonkou, shichibukai and the marine forces

- one yonkou is dead (whitebeard) - three shichibukai are dead/gone - the marines got a heavy beating as a whole (enies lobby completly smashed, impel down in chaos, marine hq a shadow of its former self)

So its evens out, balance is preserved
