This is actually more problematic than it sounds: the losing Admiral may be too injured (or dead) to continue his/her duties, or simply resigns if they feel that strongly about their opposition, and the newly promoted Fleet Admiral becomes a desk jockey until an emergency. But Sakazuki overcame him, and won the Fleet Admiral position. Kuzan and Sakazuki had roughly equal support in the World Government (though Kuzan's support came mainly from the Marines, particularly Sengoku, who personally selected him as his successor), and it turned out they had roughly equal power as well. Asskicking Leads to Leadership: To get to the very top - the Fleet Admiral position - one of the options laid out for Admirals competing for the spot is to have them fight for it, just so long as nobody "hears" about it.Justified because the admirals are chosen for their strength. Authority Equals Asskicking: As said in the description, the Marines' top brass are their main force.Aokiji is a pheasant, Akainu is a dog, Kizaru is a monkey, Fujitora is a tiger, and Ryokugyu is a bull.
Animal-Motif Team: Each Admiral is given a title based on a different animal, with each one fitting their personality in some way.The animal aspect is usually incorporated into their named attacks in one way or another. The color aspect is often relevant to the ability they possess and their choice of attire. Most Admirals tend to use an alias, consisting of a color plus an animal. After the Paramount War, the higher ranks were shuffled, following several resignations and promotions. The Admirals and other higher ranked Marines weren't shown at all until the Water 7 Saga, and weren't all revealed until the Paramount War, taking a central role in battling the Whitebeard Pirates. There are only 3 Admirals at any given time, all acting under a single Fleet Admiral. On top of their fearsome combat abilities, they also have the authority to command whole fleets with the many Marines ranked under them, have a say on the overall strategy of the organization, and can issue special orders, such as enacting the Buster Call at any time while also granting anyone else such an ability. The Marine Admirals are the very definition of Authority Equals Asskicking, being feared by pirates and criminals everywhere, and are among the strongest individuals in the entire One Piece universe. The Marine Admirals (the ranks of Commander-in-Chief and Fleet Admiral being bundled with the former) are the second-highest ranking members of the Marines, and are the strongest fighters they can offer, aside from the Fleet Admiral himself (who's usually confined to desk work most of the time anyway).
