Who will be next Admiral?

[Uriel]

I forgot about Magellan. He is a possibility.
But a new character is possible. Everyone wasn't at marine ford. Marine still had to leave strong marines in the new world. Plus, some genius newbie could have been discovered during the two year timeskip. Some strong guys could have been sick during the war ... There are enough possibilities to explain that someone strong wasn't at marineford

It can be always another retired hero. Or just someone who was at duty. Let's remember that there is plenty of possibilities and Oda usually don't go with the most predictable one.

Magellan can't be, He was defeated by Shiryu. I know that doesn't mean a lot, but It's something to consider.

I also don't see Magellan as an Admiral for the same reason as Smoker. He doesn't have Haki. Even though he is damn strong. He isn't strong enough without Haki to become an Admiral.

Pardon me, where it was said that Magellan lacks Haki? Or was shown in any place ANY hint of this?

Shiryu? What part of the manga did Shiryu defeat Magellan? Or should you say that the Blackbeared Pirates?

Actually as common logic goes, if person isn't stated to be Haki user - he isn't one. When he will be mentioned to have Haki I will agree, but until this we should consider that he doesn't have it.

Something I found out watching trailers for the new movie:

Almost all prominent marine characters are shown, however no one of them has become an admiral. That would imply that currently Kizaru is the only admiral under Fleet Admiral Sakazuki.

 

[hoeru]

... suggesting the movie is canon which is hard to believe because the movie's story isn't from Oda, is it?

 

[vagabond87]

Oda worked on this movie so we will get some small things that are canon I think.
He worked on strong world trying to make it as canon as it could get but now I think that he took this Z movie one step closer to being canon.
But I think thats wrong place to talk about it coz its spoiler for people wanting to see movie without knowing anything.

Possible candidates:

Magellan - That useless Hannyabal is the new warden and the Poison-man has the strength to keep high class pirates in line.
Lucci?? - I really doubt Lucci would accept such a role and he probably doesn't have the dominance. It would be interesting to see a Zoan Admiral.
Some new guy - Would be very cool if Oda just makes some new guy with badass powers to face Luffy.
Coby - 100% positive he isn't an Admiral but he will be some day

Do you even read One Piece?

There was already Magellan on of the covers - http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121020042103/onepiece/images/7/79/Magellan_TS.jpg he is shown to be
Vice Warden of Impel Down. He probably barely escaped death and is handicaped in a way.

Lucci- Spandam has dispatched pursuers to capture CP9 so they could be blamed for the mission's failure but they defeated Marines that were sended after them, they are now fugitives yet to be shown after time skipe(in last chapter we saw someone whos shadowed figure looks like Lucci).
Zoan admiral would be amazingly good for me as well.
Some completely new guy is best bet.
Lately we have seen Vergo who was never heard of before and he turned out to be monster in therms of strenght so we can get some never seen before marine slightly stronger that Vergo being an Admiral.

 

[Zoronoa Roro]

I think that he is saying that magellan was only character shown so far that could take role of admiral in terms of strenght no one from impel down could stand a chance against him

 

[Zehahaha]

Because of his powers, Magellan has a very limited time of work, wasn't it 4 hours a day or something along of that ? Because the majority he's in the toilets taking a dump because of diarrhea (10 hours) and 8 hours sleeping, I doubt someone like him could work as an Admiral

 

[McNuss]

... suggesting the movie is canon which is hard to believe because the movie's story isn't from Oda, is it?

As far as I know, the movie was overseen directly by Oda. Oda himself also desgined the post-timeskip designs for Aokiji, Kizaru, Sengoku, Corby and Helmeppo and draw Z's backstory in the special Volume Z, so his involvement was pretty big. I doubt Oda would allow any big inconsistency with the manga in a movie he is partially responsible for.

 

[Zoronoa Roro]

people have homewhat wrong definition of canon around here, something to be considered canon it dont need to be attached to current storyline, it needs to be inside seting (or universe if you like) where story plays otherwise huge body of literature or media shouldn't be considered canon

 

[chess4]

i know its probably zero chance of this happening, but i would love Enel to be one of the admirals. He is Akainu's type of guy, cold and merciless. Enel is really not a pirate, so it might ber possible. He would fit perfectly as an admiral, and it would be shocking.

lol, I think that would be really cool, and interesting but yeah there is probably zero chance of this happening, no chance Enel will take orders from anyone, unless he made a huge change in the past 2 years, and I don't think I would like him as much if he did. Also knowing Enel, he probably would keep thinking of the status that he used to have, he was considered a god, and whats higher than that, also he didn't have to much responsibility (he mostly got people to run his kingdom, while relaxing and showing his strength), and had so much freedom.

But, I think it would be really awesome.

 

[Samui]

There AREN'T new Admirals.

Nobody even hinted at the possibility of replacements to Akainu and Aokiji. Another thing, when Character World came out it had a spread dedicated to the Shichibukai. It showed two black spots, which represented the two new Shichibukai members other than Law. The Admiral page had no such thing. The movie also showed us all the known Marine Vice Admirals, so none of them became Admirals.

 

[Schabrak]

I don't think see how that is much of an argument against one or more new admirals. Until the middle of this year we. Didn't even know the head vice-Admiral of G-5, Vergoldung, so no Oda can just create new characters to fill some empty spot. With Sakazuki taking the rank of fleet Admiral, the is only one known admiral left with Borsalino., don't you agree that it looks weird to have the three highest marine ranks filled by only three people?

Nobody has to hint at anything when it's the logical next step.

 

[DKSilversRayleigh]

maybe i's just me but i hope we see a female admiral. if not a female admiral at least another warlord because there doesn't seem to be many strong female characters.

 

[Ankit]

Chances are it will be some unknown Vice Admiral from the NW. We've seen that they are very strong already (Vergo, Smoker). I wouldn't mind seeing atleast one of them being a girl though.

 

[EMS]

: Kizaru, Akainu and Aokiji and i hate kizaru, he is draw came out of a bad cartoon..
while i hate Sakazuki for killing ice.

 

[vagabond87]

Who is ice?
New Admiral will be most probably one person from VA that we already know- Doberman for example and other will be newcomer just like Vergo was in Punk Hazard arc.
