Smooth Operators

Smooth Operators (スムース・オペレイターズ) is the Stand of Dragona Joestar, featured in the ninth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, The JOJOLands.

It is a colony of small Stands which can grab and displace anything.

Appearance
The Smooth Operators are a group of at least four small robot-like Stands. Each "operator" has the appearance of a small robot with a humanoid top and tank treads instead of legs. Their heads have an oblong shape with curved corners, and the front part elongated like a nose. They also have two mechanical eyes protruding from the top of their heads. Their shoulders are cylinders and their arms have artificial articulations. Finally, each operator has a stylized "SO" engraved on the top of the head.

Displacement
Smooth Operators is able to move objects by grabbing them and then pushing or pulling in any direction, regardless of whether said object was fixed in place beforehand. For instance, they are able to pull the numbers from a car's license plate, exchange the photos from a driver's license card, and even displace the eyes from someone's face, pulling them down until they are placed on the cheek. Objects and people don't get damaged due to the displacement.

Dragona's ability seems to be triggered through touch as they need to touch the objects they want to displace in order to affect them. Dragona can also use the ability on themself.

When Smooth Operators try to open a safe, Dragona comments that it is difficult for them to open it because of the metal bars locking the door, which suggests that they have a limitation in power and that some objects may be too heavy for them to move.
