As said, HK are a public force an Admirals are on paper recognized as the storgest fighting force of the WG.
Well, Erbaf was already self explanatory, with HK destroyed by Gaban while Kizaru foght on par not with Gaban, but even Ray.
But anyway, that Is not even the point.
Since the Gorosei, which could, let's say, basically do the same as the Admirals, cannot work 24/7 as the fighting force of the WG (and they even seem to want secrecy), Admirals are in fact the reason for the CDs status.
Explicitly I mean.
Admirals and the Navy Is the unwilling (mostly) backbone of the WG's power.

HK's > Admirals.
Admirals are the outward face of the World Government, but in reality, they are nothing, the Gorosei clearly say this.
