User blog comment:Awaikage/Chapter 761 - Admiral Maynard spreads chaos/@comment-1595565-20140918152747

Maynard didn't get promoted. It's not uncommon to refer to vice and rear admirals informally as just admiral. Besides, it was probably a mistranslation. That part in question made very little sense, so I'm waiting for a better translation to come out before saying anything about that scene.
