"Should we stall for a while if nothing else works?"
"The longer we drag this out, the more variables there will be. If we let him stay in Mary Geoise for seven or eight days, the entire Navy will probably learn about it. How are we supposed to deal with him quietly then?"
"Besides, the main objective this time is an ambush. Numbers aren't the most important thing!"
"That makes sense. Shall we strike directly?"
"Strike directly!"
Since the decision had been made, the Five Elders naturally could not let Doflamingo reach the Holy Land Mary Geoise. Otherwise, too many people would see him.
The Five Elders had kept this operation hidden from the Navy, so they absolutely could not let anyone else learn of it.
Therefore, the only option was to send those agents under the pretense of welcoming Doflamingo, disguised as staff members, and attack him directly on the way to Mary Geoise.
Fortunately, Doflamingo had thoughtfully considered this issue for them long ago. Though he had flown here, his landing point on the Red Line was still the usual location by the ascending elevator, a considerable distance from Mary Geoise. If he had landed directly in Mary Geoise, the Five Elders would likely have had an even bigger headache.
More than ten minutes later, sensing the formidable auras of the staff members who had come to welcome him through Observation Haki, Doflamingo smiled.
Without even meeting them, Doflamingo waved a hand, and the staff members disguised by World Government agents began attacking empty ground on their own.
Among these agents were quite a few with bizarre and immensely dangerous Devil Fruit abilities. If they struck suddenly and caught someone off guard, even a powerhouse at the level of the Four Emperors or Three Admirals could be hit
