Witt and Drake did not care about Roy's change, because they had already found a way to defeat him.
Roy's Observation Haki was highly advanced, allowing him to easily detect their movements in battle. His body also reacted with extreme speed, enabling him to make the most correct response in a short time.
However, the two of them could attack simultaneously, even strike from multiple directions at once. Such attacks were indeed easy for Roy to predict, but difficult to deal with. Even Roy could not block all of their attacks in an instant.
