The droids are tailored to their targets. And to, well, anyone around them. Fighting style, abilities, you name it. The Malnosso know exactly where their targets are and who is with them at all times. [And he taps his barcode. He does not want to admit this, especially in front of another pirate... but... necessary.] They can nullify Devil Fruit abilities by generating some sort of field. They are freakishly fast and strong and durable, and they swarm. You never get just one droid, you get a multitude.

I... found that out the hard way when we first fought. I only managed to take out one before they took me out. [Choked, and head smashed through walls, and furniture and practically everything else. And since that didn't manage to knock him out, they sealed the deal by piledriving him through the clinic's medicine cabinets.] This time? There was something wrong with what they sent. They didn't even try to nullify my abilities.

[He shakes his head. Back on track. Weaknesses.]

The droids have few weakness. Whatever passes for eyes on those things are one. Joints for another. If you can get off the armor or pierce through, what's inside is very fryable.

[His voice lowers slightly. Now this? This is very important.]

If the droids are destroyed, the Malnosso make sure they aren't left behind. There are people in the village that are capable of reverse engineering the technology in them. The droids are capable of a lot, including apparently passing through the barrier. It's not something they want us getting a hold of.

But now... [A look towards the apartment. Their little toys are broken and in pieces...

... and left behind.]
