Just saying - I noticed you (DP) talking about Kadar quite a few times, if I am not mistaken?

Um the thing is, he was a rear admiral ages ago - if he survived - which itself is debatable, shouldn't he have a different rank now?

I mean holding the place of an admiral or vice admiral for a long time is probable - as a promotion would require exceptional qualities; and also there are not many vacancies on the top.

But a rear admiral? From what is shown till now - vice admirals have a wide range for strength and there are numerous seats. So Kadar might have just as well become one.

I mean one of the vice admirals got beaten by Bartolomeo (and without causing him any significant harm) - while there was Garp on the other side (although exceptional case but nonetheless).

Moreover, the number of vice admirals are quite numerous. In fact this is probably the rank with the largest number of named individuals. So, don't you think that in twelve years Kadar would get a promotion?
