Yes, she was almost killed and now needs to leave her island...
So why would she go join someone she doesn't know and has no real connection with rather than the guy she's in love with who would accept her and her whole island with no conditions and let her do pretty much whatever she wants...
It's possible that none of the Empresses actually died from the 'disease' and that's just what they tell the citizens to explain their disappearance rather than telling everyone they were abandoned for a dude.
Those strong Devil Fruits allowed them to live long enough to become strong. There could have been many people with the potential to become top-tier but were killed during their rise because the basic fruit didn't give them much help.
And yet nothing happened... Kaidou didn't even send anyone after Luffy/Law and simply found new ways to sell weapons without 'Joker'.
Doflmingo simply overestimated his power and influence and was lucky Kaidou didn't just take the SMILE business from him and have Queen in charge of it.
The thing is 'Admiral Candidate' doesn't tell us anything.
Were they just some of the characters Oda was considering using for new Admirals or were they actually considered 'in story' for the position? If 'in story' then how many others were considered and what was the reason they weren't picked?
It depends on why they were considered for "Admiral", how many others were, and why they were denied the position. Maybe half of the Vice Admirals were considered and all were turned down because they were only Momonga Level.
