Well in my opinion there are three possibilities: 1. No new Admiral (no one said there has to be three). 2. Vice Admirals got promoted. 3. New characters. I won't say Smoker because as he was in good terms with Aokiji, I doubt Akainu would give him a high position and there are two positions for him to get promoted. As for Coby, hell no, after he stopped Akainu in Marineford he might actually get a demotion.
