Bang!
Their fists collided in an instant.
Crack!
The sound of bones snapping rang out immediately.
Sengoku and Kizaru—who had just "revived" through elementalization—watched as Garp's wrist bent at a horrifying angle.
Broken!
Iron Fist Garp's fist was shattered by a single punch from that terrifying man!
And then—
without any suspense—
Garp was sent flying by Alex's punch as well, crashing out to join his dear "companions" Akainu and Aokiji.
"It's Vice Admiral Garp!"
"Even Vice Admiral Garp was sent flying!"
"How is this possible?!"
Shocked cries erupted again.
The Marines nearly popped their eyes out of their sockets, completely unable to believe what they were seeing.
Two Admirals might be one thing—but even Vice Admiral Garp?!
Everyone in the Navy knew that although Garp only held the rank of Vice Admiral, his strength was absolutely Admiral-level.
The only reason he was still a Vice Admiral was because he refused promotion.
Otherwise—
he would have been an Admiral long ago.
And someone like that… was sent flying too?
Who was it?!
Who on earth was this monster?!
"Unforgivable!"
Akainu's face darkened as he saw Aokiji and Garp blasted out as well.
He was about to charge back in and confront that madman—
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two figures shot out onto the training ground.
It was Sengoku and Kizaru.
This time, they weren't blasted out by Alex—they moved on their own.
After all, that man's power was simply too terrifying.
Fighting inside the office meant none of them could unleash their full strength.
If the battle continued there, not just the office—
the entire building would have been reduced to rubble.
"Just who is that guy?!"
Garp's shocked voice rang out.
He had never imagined that one day he'd be beaten like a stray dog—
especially in a pure fist-to-fist clash.
"I'd love to know too,"
Kizaru said with genuine awe.
"That terrifying guy…"
"No matter who he is, we can't let him leave Marineford today!"
Akainu's fist had already turned into magma, bubbling violently, radiating terrifying pressure.
Aokiji said nothing, but worry gnawed at him.
Judging from how effortlessly that man had beaten them—
could they really stop him?
Whoosh!
At that moment—
Sengoku, Garp, and the three Admirals suddenly felt their vision blur.
They didn't even have time to react.
Their Observation Haki didn't register anything at all.
Alex had already appeared before them like a ghost.
"It seems I still didn't hit you hard enough."
Alex glanced at the Navy's top brass, shrugged lightly, and said calmly—
as if discussing something utterly trivial.
"Big Eruption!"
Akainu didn't waste a single word.
A magma fist roared toward Alex.
But it never reached him.
It stopped a foot away, as if blocked by an invisible wall.
Given how Alex had casually waved people away earlier, the Admirals instantly realized—
an energy barrier had been erected again.
Correct.
It was a telekinetic wall.
Effortless.
Casual.
Akainu's attack was completely neutralized.
"Marine Admirals? Only this much?"
Alex sneered casually.
Akainu's face instantly turned livid.
Damn it—
this man was simply too arrogant!
"Hound Blaze!"
Akainu roared.
Magma surged and condensed into a massive hellhound, jaws wide open as it charged at Alex with brutal force.
But—
it was completely useless.
"Yasakani no Magatama!"
Shhk shhk shhk shhk!
Shhk shhk shhk shhk!
Kizaru joined in, crossing his arms and unleashing a storm of photon bullets that filled the air, firing relentlessly at Alex.
"Ice Block: Pheasant Beak!"
Aokiji didn't hold back either.
An enormous ice bird formed and attacked Alex from another direction.
Just like that—
the three Admirals attacked simultaneously from three different directions, unleashing their strongest techniques in a coordinated assault.
Yet—
every single attack was stopped cold by Alex's telekinetic barrier.
They didn't just fail to hurt him—
they couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
"Th-that's impossible!"
"You've got to be kidding me!"
"He's just standing there, and the three Admirals can't hurt him at all?!"
"No way—this can't be real!"
"How can someone this monstrous even exist?!"
The Marines nearby felt as if a tsunami had crashed through their minds.
They were utterly stunned.
Each Admiral, taken alone, stood at the absolute peak of the sea.
Aside from the Yonko, who could challenge them?
And yet—
three of them together couldn't even break his defense?
Who could believe something like this?!
Not just the Marines—
even Sengoku and Garp were left speechless.
But—
this was only the beginning.
The next moment—
Alex casually waved his hand.
"Not good!"
All three Admirals' faces changed drastically.
An overwhelming sense of danger exploded in their hearts.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A terrifying force instantly enveloped all three Admirals, compressing violently.
Before everyone's eyes—
the three Marine Admirals exploded.
Yes.
Exploded.
Not a metaphor.
A literal description.
Their bodies detonated completely, reduced to fragments, leaving only scattered remnants behind.
Of course—
as Logia users, they weren't truly dead.
But reduced to fragments like that—
even "reviving" would take time.
Meanwhile, the surrounding Marines were completely petrified.
Their shock was beyond words.
A wave of the hand—
and all three Admirals exploded?!
No matter how you thought about it—
that was impossible.
Hallucination.
Yes—this had to be a hallucination!
Gulp!
Even Sengoku and Garp swallowed hard, their faces filled with sheer disbelief—
as if struck by lightning.
