"Stop hunting Celestial Dragons... Is that person about to awaken?"
At that moment, the two pixelated Navy officers spoke. Behind them stood several dozen Navy Generals, all of them likewise concealed within mist.
This was the protection Doflamingo had arranged for them, to prevent their identities from being exposed.
In fact, Stussy, standing beside Doflamingo, was also shrouded in pixelated mist. It was not that Doflamingo distrusted the people present, but some Devil Fruit abilities were simply unreasonable. Often, even if one wanted to keep a secret, it could not be kept.
