Thanks to Heavenly Yaksha's sudden bout of gloom, the rest of the trip was considerably quieter.
Although Xie Wen had no idea why he had suddenly stopped talking...
Who cares? It's better if he keeps quiet. He won't interrupt my cat-petting.
Soon, the toy carriage arrived at Dressrosa's Royal Palace, and Xie Wen met the CP0 agents Doflamingo had mentioned.
As the most special and most powerful members of Cipher Pol, CP0 also dressed noticeably differently from the other CP Agents-
Other CP Agents generally wore black suits when they were not on covert operations, whereas CP0 wore white suits.
Well, it was... pretty showy.
But paired with those indescribable masks on their faces, they also looked strangely comical.
Especially since the three CP0 agents before him were arranged by height like cell signal bars, which made them look even funnier to Xie Wen.
Also...
These three CP0 agents seem kind of familiar...
As Xie Wen stared at the men in white suits, trying hard to recall the manga he had read, the shortest of them stepped forward and spoke first. "'Sapphire Star' Xie Wen, you've certainly been active lately."
Apparently, despite being the shortest, he was the leader of the three.
But Xie Wen's attention was drawn to the man's mouth and cheeks, which moved as he spoke...
"Huh?! You're not wearing a mask?"
Only when the man spoke did Xie Wen notice something was off.
Unlike his two companions, this CP0 agent was not wearing a mask. Instead, he had painted his face white and wore robot-like ear covers. Xie Wen had no idea what he had done to his eyes, but they looked like two circles, one black and one white. Combined with his previously expressionless face, it really was easy to mistake it for a mask.
