Fortunately, both Baby5 and the five members of the Vinsmoke Family avoided the attack. The Vinsmoke Family had flying boots, while Baby5 could use the Arms-Arms Fruit's power to imitate those boots and fly through the air.
As for Minos, he relied on Geppo, one of the Six Powers of the Marines, to walk through the air.

Kake's initial assessment had actually been somewhat mistaken. In their normal states, Minos and Judge appeared to be no different from ordinary Marine Vice Admirals. In truth, after activating the Mad Blood Evil Eye King's power, Minos's combat strength was roughly that of an elite Vice Admiral.
Judge's own combat strength was only at the level of an ordinary Vice Admiral, but with the boosts from his Battle Suit and various technological weapons, he was not much weaker than Minos. He could also be considered an elite Vice Admiral.
