"So strong!" Rayleigh shock was no less than Gaban.
Although he hadn't directly faced Bob attack just now, he could still sense the immense power behind it.
To shatter dual axes with a single finger, and axes imbued with Armament Haki at that—this was truly beyond comprehension.
"Bob seems much stronger than the last time we met. What has he been through these past two months?" Bullett said gravely.
The previous look of absolute confidence was gone, replaced by a face full of solemnity.
Back on the Roger Pirates' ship, Bob had also shattered Gaban dual axes, but at that time, Gaban had only struck casually, without any Haki enhancement.
Moreover, Bob had used his fist to block, which was why the axes were shattered.
But compared to then, this was clearly on a whole different level.
"Are the three of us really enough to take him on? I feel like it's a long shot," Gaban, who had once again lost his dual axes, said with a bitter expression as he recovered from his shock and heartbreak.
"I don't know, but we'll give it our all!" Rayleigh exhaled deeply.
The Bob before him exuded an overwhelming pressure, even greater than what he felt from Roger.
Though he didn't want to admit it, the truth was clear: even Captain Roger might not be able to defeat Bob now!
Bob, who had just shattered Gaban axes, glanced at the three of them, then retracted his finger and blew on it lightly.
The fine powder at his fingertips scattered in the wind, and before it could even touch the ground—
Bob moved.
A gentle breeze swept through the spot where he had been standing, and his figure vanished.
"He's coming!"
Rayleigh, who had been watching Bob closely, exclaimed in alarm as he saw Bob suddenly disappear.
Though he couldn't see Bob trajectory, his instincts told him that Bob was heading straight for them.
And indeed, he was.
In the blink of an eye, Bob vanished figure reappeared right in front of the three of them, almost simultaneously with Rayleigh shout.
The words had just reached Gaban and Bullet ears, and before they could react, Bob was already before them.
Their faces turned pale with shock, and almost instinctively, all three of them immediately covered their vulnerable spots with Armament Haki.
The veins on Gaban arms bulged as his dark fists clenched together, unleashing a torrent of violent air as he struck forward.
Bullet activated his Devil Mode, his body swelling in size as a black hue spread from his forehead downward. His speed and strength surged in an instant, making him resemble a demon from hell.
Rayleigh eyes gleamed like lightning, his aura skyrocketing as his arm transformed into a whip-like blade, slashing toward Bob.
At the same time, all three of them unleashed their Haki to its fullest.
Facing an opponent like Bob, they didn't dare hold back in the slightest, revealing all their trump cards without reservation.
Their momentum was overwhelming, and with the three of them at the center, the Haki-infused air currents formed a small tornado, scattering the nearby corpses.
The shockwaves rippled outward in layers, stirring up clouds of dust.
This scene drew the attention of both the Marines and the pirates.
In the next moment—
Without any verbal communication, the three of them attacked Bob from different angles with perfect coordination.
Head, flank, lower body.
Seeing this, Bob lips twitched, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
The moment Gaban fist was about to land, Bob raised his hand and effortlessly clamped down on Gaban arm.
His speed was so fast that not even a blur could be seen, as if Bob arm had always been there.
Bob body suddenly twisted and Gaban body was wielded like a weapon in his hands. With a full swing of his fist, Bob then released Gaban, sending him flying.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound of collisions echoed, resembling the clanging of metal on an anvil.
Rayleigh and Bullett, who had been entirely focused on Bob, had no time to react.
They were left dazed and disoriented by Gaban iron-like body.
In the next moment.
All three of them were sent flying, smashing through dozens of rocks before finally coming to a halt.
Without exception, they were bruised and battered, especially Gaban, who had been used as a weapon by Bob. He was in the worst shape, still spitting blood and barely conscious.
This attack was not only devastating but also deeply humiliating.
However, it wasn't over yet. As the three were sent flying, Bob followed up.
Just as they were getting back on their feet, Bob figure loomed larger and larger in their vision.
With his hand shaped like a blade, he struck the back of their necks.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
Three dull thuds rang out, and Rayleigh, Gaban, and Bullett felt a wave of dizziness before collapsing straight to the ground.
"Did our officers—Rayleigh, Gaban, and Bullett—just get defeated by one man?"
"Am I seeing this right? Bob took on three at once and won?"
"This is insane! It feels like Bob didn't even break a sweat, and all three of them just went down!"
"Is this the kind of strength a commander should have? He seems even stronger than our captain!"
"These are pirates with bounties nearing a billion! And three of them couldn't even last three moves against Bob!"
"Hahaha! The Roger Pirates are trash! Three against one and they still got wrecked. Can they even fight?"
"Commander Bob is a monster, no doubt about it. He's just too strong!"
"..."
Both the Marines and the pirates who witnessed this scene couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
Especially the crew members of the Roger Pirates, who were utterly stunned.
Rayleigh, Gaban, and Bullett, as officers of the Roger Pirates, were the strongest trio aside from Roger himself.
They knew full well how powerful these three were, having sailed through the Grand Line and into the New World.
In one-on-one combat, few pirates could stand against them. But now, facing Bob, all three of them were defeated simultaneously, completely shattering their worldview.
In this sea, aside from Rocks, there was actually someone this powerful.
They came to a conclusion in their hearts: even their captain, Roger, couldn't defeat these three in just three moves.
In other words, Bob was even stronger than Roger.
Looking at the three fallen men, Bob raised an eyebrow. He didn't intend to kill them, so he had deliberately controlled his strength.
His mastery over his power had reached a level of perfection, fully integrating the explosive strength within his body.
Just as everyone was reeling from Bob display of power and the defeat of the three officers, a furious roar suddenly erupted.
"All of you, get the hell out of here!"
"I'm going to slaughter every last one of you scum!"
Then.
"Roaaaaaaarrrr!!"
A resounding dragon's roar echoed across the sky.
Kaido!
At this moment, he had finally master his Devil Fruit power.
