## One Piece Chapter 446, pages 7-8: Doctor Hogback - Chapter: 446 - Pages: 7-8 - Characters: Hogback, Chopper, Usopp, Nami, Cindry ### Summary Page 7: Chopper asks, "THEN ARE YOU CONDUCTING SOME RESEARCH ON THE ZOMBIES, DOCTOR?" Hogback approves, "INDEED!!" but corrects the word: "IF PEOPLE HEAR THE WORD 'ZOMBIE,' THEY'LL GET FRIGHTENED. HOWEVER THEY WON'T IF YOU SUBSTITUTE IT FOR 'RESURRECTION OF THE DECEASED'!!" He says mankind dreams about eternity, and that there are people who want their relatives brought back from death. Medical science manipulating life and death is considered an offense to God, so he vanished from society and continued researching on this marvelous island. Chopper is moved: "I SEE! IT'S JUST AS YOU SAID!! BUT IF YOUR RESEARCH WERE A SUCCESS, THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAT WILL BE GRATEFUL!! I'D LIKE TO HELP, DOCTOR HOGBACK." Hogback thanks him, while Usopp mutters, "Damn you," annoyed that Chopper believes him so easily. Page 8: Chopper eagerly asks for more: "CAN YOU GIVE ME YOUR AUTOGRAPH?" Hogback agrees, "YES, OF COURSE!!!" Chopper beams, "AND THEN COULD YOU... SHOW ME YOUR LAB!?" Hogback's entire manner changes. He leans in with a dark glare and answers, "NEVER PEEK INTO MY LAB..." Chopper recoils: "!!?" The mood is broken when Cindry serves dessert, saying, "Here is the pudding." Hogback pleads, "HEY, CINDRY-CHAN, YOU COULD AT LEAST SERVE THE PUDDING ON A DISH!! CAN YOU GRANT ME THAT ONE WISH!?" Cindry repeats, "It would be nice if there weren't dishes in this world..." and Hogback laughs off the mess: "NO NEED TO BE WORRIED WHAT-SOEVER, SINCE THIS TABLE CLOTH WAS CLEANED TO DEATH FOR AN OCCASION LIKE THIS!"
