Triple kill: Newgate made his move

To become Marine Vice Admirals, their willpower had to rank among the finest in the Marines.

Despite the terrifying pressure on their minds and bodies, they were still regaining control of themselves.

Clearly, Hades would not give them that chance.

Even a lion used its full strength to catch a rabbit.

And he had no reason to waste time on a few ants.

With an explosive burst of power, Hades's ghostlike figure swept past Marine Vice Admiral Dalglish.
