Are some pages not translated yet? :blink: I'm curious what Hogback is talking about on the page where Chopper starts a happy dance in the last panel (page 10?)… It looks like he's talking about an event from the past... is that a coffin in the background? oô
Chapter 446 "Doctor Hogback" Discussion

A couple of odd revelations this week.
Invisible man:
-A corporeal invisible humanoid and not a ghost/beast or shadow. Nothing on four legs or with out a physical form could have been chased off by nami's kick to the balls. That looked like it hurt even though you couldn't see the guy.
-also, what he says shows that he is the same that attacked the 1000 sunny but mentions nami as being OUR wife. Is he referring to other invisible beings or just him and the other stitched up creatures?
-could potentially be Dr. Hogback as nami's kick connects at the height level of her breasts. Hogback has a particularly high groin. This factor makes invisible man unlikely to be Hildon or jackal rider as they were too short.
-on the other hand, invisible man laughs "garuru" while Hogback laughs "Fosfosfosfos" which gives credence to thinking it's a completely new character.
-He can either fly or climb walls. The frame angle for approaching bathing nami comes from above. The escape out the window also shows that he can fly or climb quite well.Dr. Hogback:
-He's not a D since all the other D's had a D in their introduction panel.
-Confirmed making the creatures in the forest when he mentioned isolating himself to learn the secrets of life and death.
-His house cat was also part of the forest crew singing "new prey! new prey!" last chapter. He's a bad guy.
-Likely has some wacky fighting powers if you consider how much work he's done on himself compared to the flashback where he is lamenting over a dead patients grave.
-has not seen brooke yet or he would his thought bubble would not have been so shocked at his being mentioned.Other notes:
-Thriller Bark? Really? That's a shame. Battle Franky was right about it from the get go it seems. Congrat BF!
-Giant spider web trapping the ships infers giant spider :)
-I love the cross shaped dining room chairs.
-this will make great anime. I'm looking forward to the music for cindry's entrance and am really hoping for the Psycho theme in the bath scene.
-cindry vs usopp would make an interesting fight: plates vs slingshot sniper's brawl.@Hiso, yup, someone already mentioned that. They even summarized the skipped over bit.
-
I noticed something weird about that door. You can see Nami's shadow through it, yet it seems to be made of wood.
-
@Rai:
Well, I though about it and that's the pairing I see:
Hogback vs. Luffy - It seems Hogback is truly the main villain, and by that he's responsible for whatever happened to Brooke [along with his shadow stolen]. Also it might be a weak apot for Chopper, so if Luffy fight he'll free both Brooke and Chooper. And that's obviously his job.
Half-horse-half-human thingy [forgot the name..] vs. Franky - Franky has that mode with backwards half-horse-half-human thingy. Plus his chin's job is still a mystery.
Hildon vs. Usopp/Sogeking - Duh.
Cerberus is pretty much dead now. Feel sorry for him.
Cindry vs. Robin - Perfect match, really. And Robin needs a fight BAD.
Invisible man/beast vs. Nami - He said he wants her, and she needs revenge. Also she always uses illusions with the Climatact, and what's more to it with an invisible man? She has this badass moment she figured out how to beat the opponent, and that's the only opponent that can give us the chance for it.
That Doggy Rider vs. Sanji - Sanji always get[+s?] those weird guys, right?
Zoro doesn't have a fight this time / He gets a fight with an unknown opponent / He gets a team fight with someone against that unknown opponent.
What do you say?
I'm the only one thinking that Zoro alaway's gets the weird guys???
This Octopus from Arlong Park
Kaku a weird giraffe
Mohji a man on a bike
… -
Man, this is the best Oda's ever drawn. This arc has been drawn to perfection so far. A bit too much fanservice these days tho.
Hogback doesn't look quite how I expected but he seems pretty cool tho. Love all the horror references.
-
I love it
<–----------- yeah you can tell
-
Thanks for this Franky and the powers that be.
-
Franky is drawn very well in the colour spread… Its rare for him to out do the others.
I wonder if there is one more character important to this arc yet to be introduced... I think the main villian has yet to show his face.
I notice, on page 10, Hogback has a short one panel flashback of a thinner self standing in front of a coffin shaped thing. Looks like the from this chapter the good doctor may have done something to cross the line and cause a problem.
I'm just done with freaky vampire-looking characters... First Hildon, now Hogback. ^-^'
Edit:
I also found the mention in the translations of Luffy wanting to eat the cereburus funny. Is there anything he won't try and eat lately? -
Okay, this should be the complete script now. For reading convenience I also post the parts that have been up already. Hope it's better now ; D
Chapter 446 "Doktor Hogback"
004
Nami: Excuse meeeee?
Usopp: What's with this mansion, there's a tunnel right at the center of it.
Usopp: I can see a courtyard on the other side.Usopp: It wouldn't come to be uninhabited, would it…?
Nami: That would be bad. If we turn back, we'll run into the zombies!!Usopp: Look! There's a lamp switched on inside, no not just a lamp... it's a spotlight.
Usopp: On that old well...
005
Woman: Welcome
Everyone: GYAAAA!!!!Woman: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
Everyone: EEEEH!? What, what, now she's throwing the plates!!006
Usopp: OUCH! Am I the one who's aimed on!?
Woman: Yes... that's right. You are not allowed to enter the mansion.Woman: You two there may enter.
Namicho: Eh? Why?Woman: YOU. LEAVE, PERIOD!! EIGHT!! NINE!!
Usopp: Gwaaaaa!!!???: It's okay!!! Wait!!! If it's just one more person we can make an exception!! Cindry-chan!!
Usopp: !! Someone's coming out
???: Sorry that she surprised you!! This woman hates plates ever since she tried to test the love of a wealthy man who proposed to her, and completely smashed his ten treasured plates. She was therefore rejected, so plates carry this tragic memory to her like a booger sticking in the face.
???: She's my plate hating servant Cindry-chan.
Everyone: Okay whatever...007
???: Well I've missed introducing myself!!! I'm the world's famous Doktor Hogback!!! Also known as "Genius"!!! Fosfosfosfos!!!
Introductory box: Master of the mansion (genius surgeon) Doktor HogbackCindry: TEN!!!
Doktor: Wai-wai-wai-waiit!!! Cindry-chan!! I already said it's okay!!! If you don't listen to what I say my position would be nil!008
Cindry: It would be okay if all the plates in the world would vanish.
Doktor: I know!! I totally know but I'm totally talking right here!!
Usopp: Chopper... is that the one you talked about...
Chopper: Do... Doktor Hogback, the real deal???? nervous
Nami: He's kinda idiotic
Chopper: WHAT!! NAMI!!Cindry: Well if you say so... today as an exception three people may enter. Welcome.
Doktor: Uh- yeah yeah, come into my mansion!!Usopp: I don't get why only I couldn't go, but let's go in anyways.
Nami: Yeah. It's better than outside with all the zombies.Doktor: Ah- besides I ...
Doktor: (Besides... I...)009
Doktor: Fosfosfosfos!! So you came to my mansion!! You're quite dirty folks. Why have you come here?
Nami: There's a lot we need to talk about.. but first...
Chopper: After that I would like to talk to you tooNami: We were attacked by zombies at the graveyard and got away to this place.
Doktor: Zombies?...
Usopp: We also saw many creatures you wouldn't believe your own eyes! What on earth is this island?! When you're living here you should know something!?Doktor: Oh, attacked, you say... So you came here for refuge. That's fine.
Doktor: To answer your question, I don't know anything about them..
Doktor: .. which is why I live here.
Usopp: !?010
Chopper: Ah so you're here to study the zombies!?Doktor: INDEED!!
Doktor: If people hear about zombies they're scared.
Doktor: But if you reword it "the revived dead"!!!
Everyone: …..Doktor: ... isn't that the eternal "dream" of man?!
Doktor: Everyone has lost one or two persons he'd wish to revive.
Doktor: But meddling with life and death is a medical science considered heresy.
Doktor: And that's why I secretly vanished from society to study on this strange island.Chopper: So... So it's that way!! I'm convinced if your studies will be successful, the world would be full of happy people!!
Chopper: I will help you, Doktor Hogback!Doktor: Thanks for your flexibility, Doktor Chopper!
Chopper: Eeehhhhh!! I'm totally not happy you call my "Doktor"!
Chopper: You bastard!011
Chopper: Can I have an autograph!?
Doktor: Why sure!!Chopper: After that, may I see your laboratory?
Doktor: Never look inside my lab..
Chopper: !!?Cindry: There you go. Pudding.
Doktor: EEEEH!! One moment, Cindry-chan! At least bring the pudding on a plate!! Can't this wish be granted?!Cindry: But it would be better if the world got rid of all plates
Doktor: Well for these kind of situations, the table cloth is ultra strongly washed so we can eat relieved.012
Usocho: Okies, bon appetit!
Nami: You COULD use a spoon though!!Chopper: Oh! It's sweet and delicious! slurpslurp
Cindry: The preparations for the bath are complete. You may go since you're dirty.Usopp: Ah, right, old man... although I don't really care... what we ran into earlier - did by any chance a weird skeleton pop up around here?
Doktor: Skeleton?
Usopp: ... Yeah, he's a bean pole.... with an afro... strangely cheerful...Usopp: Well a walking talking skeleton is pretty strange alright.
Doktor: ....!!
Usopp: I guess you don't know...Doktor: N... No! I don't know!
Doktor: (That guy's ...? No... it couldn't be....!!)013
Text: The bathroom inside the mansionChopper: I'm not interested in naked female humans... but I really wanna peek into Doktor Hogback's lab~~!!
Usopp: Soo, Nami... you're like a kid who's afraid of going to the bathroom at night... why do we have to guard you in the bathroomUsopp: When you're afraid, just don't go.
Nami: You're pretty calm for being touched by zombies. You're dirty too.Usopp: Well I'm not dirty!
Chopper: Neither!
Nami: When it's night we're leaving
Usopp: EH!?
Usopp: What are you saying you idiot!014
Usopp: I mean we got shelter here after all. When we go out at night, you understand what could happen!?
Usopp: In any case us!! It's that we won't move. Luffy and the others will surely come to rescue us.Chopper: Me neither, I don't wanna go out again!
Chopper: I hate that forest and that graveyard!!
Nami: Inside or outside is the same.Nami: Didn't you take a look at this mansion?
Nami: The corridors and the rooms... if my sixth sense is right...Nami: This mansion is full of zombies
Usocho: Heeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Whe-- where were they??Nami: The most suspicious one is that Hogback himself..!! He's lying.
Nami: If that man and the zombies weren't connected in some way he surely wouldn't live in this mansion or even on this island!!015
Nami: Anyways, even if you didn't notice his behavior let's get out of here when it gets night.
Usopp: Nnn..... i-i-....
Usopp: if that's true, what are we supposed to do, Chopper..?????: Gurururu.... you're a smart woman...
Nami: What...!?
Nami: Usopp, Chopper, have you said something!?
Usopp: ??... We said nothingUsopp: prfrfft woops I farted!
Chopper: Usopp, that stinks!
???: Garuru
Nami: Eh? What? .... my arms!!016
Nami: Ah.!!? What is this...!! But there's nobody...!!!!!!???: Better than the woman on the ship... garuru... I favor the weak....
Nami: Usopp!!! Cho-----vm !????: You.... become our bride...!!! [<- this is an order]
Nami: !!?017
Usopp: Hey Nami, is something wrong!?
Chopper: Eww, Usopp's fart reeks even as far as this!Usopp: WHOOOW!!!
Usopp: THANK YOU
Chopper: Huh you thanked her!!
Usopp: … excuse-...Nami: (Idiots!! Help me!!)
Nami: (YOU....!!) kicks him in the nuts
???: HAU-!!Nami: GASP Usopp, Chopper, help me!!!
Nami: Somebody's in here!!
Usopp: --- wha-.....
Chopper: EH?!018
Chopper: Yeah, I can smell it!!!Usopp: Still!? I'm sorry!!!
Chopper: Not your fart!! A person's smell!!
Usopp: !!
Nami: He's fleeing through the window!!Usopp: Why's the window opening by itself...!?
Usopp: What on earth is he!!!Usopp: "Hissatsu": "Kayakuboshi" ("Certain Kill: Gunpowder Star")
Nami: ... I wonder if he could get away... he heard everything we talked about....
Usopp: .... hey, Nami, what was that... what's the meaning of this!!?Nami: All this time there was... an invisible man in here!
019
Text: And the team left on Thousand Sunny
Sanji: Well
Sanji: We can't help but stay put.
Sanji: Since this ship is stuck in a giant spider's web.Zoro: That skeleton jerk's ghost ship too...
Zoro: Even the Mini Merry Usopp, Chopper and Nami rode in is trapped in the web.
Zoro: I can't help but figure this was actually all planned. At this point, it's the entrance of the island. It looks like the ghosts are beckoning us.
Luffy: What're you rambling about, Zoro?
Luffy: You too, come!Luffy: Since we're stuck here anyways, let's go!
Luffy: Because then there'll be more lunch packs, shishishi!!020
Zoro: Why're there all of a sudden these stairs leading down?
Luffy: It said "entrance" so it doesn't matter thinking about it.Luffy: Geh, what's that in the moat?
Kerberos: Woof!! Woof!! Gooohn!!
Sanji: Wow... a kerberos..? We must be on the direct way to hell then
Robin: Aww it's cute
Franky: He wanna brawl?
Zorro: Pretty brazen...
Luffy: I wonder if it's yummy?Kerberos: !!? EHHHH!!!?
I'll take this time to point this out: her breasts are clearly fake. Look at those stitches on her chest…
Wait wha-… Oh!!
OTZ
I hate fake boooobs~ sob -
the look on cerberus's face at the end is absolutely hilarious…nami looked great in the pics, but Im not sure Im too keen on the fan service, or nami being taken naked...but maybe he is setting up the b-movie horror style...anyway, the crew is coming and things arent going to go so smoothly for Hogback et all now
peace

@ Rockschmock
Thank you very much! ^_^
Usopp farts? Baaaad manners, Usopp-sama! XD
So, Hogback wants to study Zombies because of the whole "Life and death"-thing? This could be a reason for him to capture Brooke, he's a good example for this kind of studies… oo" -
A couple of odd revelations this week.

-Giant spider web trapping the ships infers giant spider :)Those are some great observations! Especially the part about Hogback's house cat.
-
You know I think it's obvious that some of these characters are based off of Oda's favorite movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas".
-
that cat screamed tis when I saw it
-
It's great to see Franky in one of the themed color pages. Love this arc.
-
Ahh~ very good, Boiga. May I add something? : D
Speaking against Invisible Man being Hogback- The garuru and gururu are growling noises, usually made by dogs, wolves, lions etc. It's unlikely Hogback would start to growl when he's invisible… except if it's part of a Hyde/Jeckyll transformation, maybe.
- Chopper would have recognised the smell of Hogback since he's such a fan of him.
- Most likely a subordinate of Hogback as he confirms Nami's suspicion that Hogback is evil. Still a slight chance that he's the underling of another party which is roaming the island.
Against him being Hildon
- Hildon was with Team Useless when the Invisible Man was attacking Thousand Sunny
- Assuming Hildon was not just a human with stitched on bat wings but a DF user (pretty much like Miss MC), and assuming the invisibility was a DF effect too, this wouldn't work. Can't be confirmed at this point though.
Also, it wasn't Hogback in that particular panel you mentioned. That panel was the image of a person reviving from the dead amongst people who were just lamenting his recent death, to underline Hogback's point that eternal life was mankind's ultimate dream.
But I do think he probably does know Brook. He's thinking "That guy's …? No... it couldn't be....!!", with intonation dots next to "That guy" (アイツ). This is probably indicating that he expected Brook to be dead after he or somebody else snatched Brook's shadow. This might prove Hogback's involvement in the robbing of the shadows.The missing parts weren't in the original script which was posted to the spoiler thread before the scanned pages appeared. Maybe the first post with the link to the translation should be linked to my latter post..
-
I love this chapter!
Usopp with naked Nami is a good thingWhatever be the influence, I'm just orgasmic over all the character designs.
I'm still not convinced Hogback is evil. He seems to have started out with good intentions…could it be that his toying with the dead, he went insane and lost his original dream in favor of abominable experimentations? Or is he still a good guy, but he created a "monster" (the invisible man?) that he has lost control of and is trying desperately to make amends?Great color spread too. :wub: Franky is teh sex.

Kind of like Dr. Frankenstein to a pooint then, if you look at it that way.
-
A dumb question…
In which chapter Robin was licked... Could someone send me the spread please?
-
Thanks for the full trans and clarifications Rockschmock. They make this all a lot more comprehendable. Good work.
I'm still expecting hildon to be the bad guy for this arc. Also, I honestly think Oda has a severe disdain of doctors. He makes the doctor mouth guard be a really freaky addition to an already weird character. Remember drum island? Every doctor there was a crony, inept or used their medicine to extort tremendous sums of money from common people. It was only when the doctors took off their scrubs did Oda draw them as regular people.
Also, new speculation: the cheshire cat is the invisible man!!
-Remember Alice in Wonderland? The cheshire cat disappears only leaving his 1/4 moon shaped smile in the sky.
-The timing is right that the cat would pass the carriage on his way back from the sunny-go on his way to the mansion.
-If the cat has a devil fruit it would explain the gururu growling that Rockscmock mentioned.
-As long as the invisibility is related to shadow stealing and not a DF then this makes a lot of sense.
-we even see him at the scene of the crime walking by nami's shower.
-Cat's can climb well and drop safely from high places.problem with this theory- how would a cat devil fruit make it to the sunny and back?
-
Maybe his creations became corrupted and is forcing him to make an army.
-
Hey All, this is my first post within these forums.
I read the most recent chap and noticed something, although it may be nothing. During the part where brooke's name is mentioned to Dr. Hogback this frame is shown with what looks to be a pirate insignia.The person in the portrait, seems eeriely similar to brooke in my opinion, the hair is long and could definately turn into an afro after being dead a year, the shirt seems to have the same ruffle in the front as brooke as well. The hat is different however, but it could be something worth noticing.
Dr. Hogback admitted his desire to study ressurection or reviving the dead so wouldn't Brooke be the best specimin…or maybe his shadow was all he could get hehe. All speculation, let me know your thoughts.
For comparison here's brooke again,
-Ky0

I'm the only one thinking that Zoro alaway's gets the weird guys???
This Octopus from Arlong Park
Kaku a weird giraffe
Mohji a man on a bike
…Bon Clay, Wanze..
Yeah.Zoro fights cool people.
Thanks for the translation Rockschmock!
I figure the Invisible Man is a beast.
Taleran pointed out what I immediately thought too: That cat in the mansion is a copy of that one that disappearen in Alisa in Wonderland [not sure I got the name right].
From the translation he laughs/growls in a beast's sfx. Robin heard that.
Now now, I don't say it's the cat that was seen, he's way too small. It could be a hint Oda used that disappearing cat as inspiration and may use his ability too [along with more abilities]. Or the cat transforms into something bigger when invisible.EDIT:
Welcom to the forums, Ky0. -
http://img464.imageshack.us/img464/4035/humanbrookeja5.th.jpg
The person in the portrait, seems eeriely similar to brooke in my opinion …
The first two things that crossed my mind when I saw that portrait were :
- hey! The Doktor is related to Freddy Mercury!
and - When did Queen encounter the Foxy pirates?
(big "thanks!" to BF, RockSchmock, Ivotas, and everyone else who brought us the words, pics and joined color-spreads this week)
- hey! The Doktor is related to Freddy Mercury!
-
Nami is hot, thats all I'm gonna say on this chapter :D
-
I just love it how Nami is so shameless. If only Paulie could see her now…
Hogback looks to be like Dr. Frankenstein. He's been experimenting with life and death by making these creatures which explains the numbers in each of them. I wanted to see if Cindry had a #1 around her. No luck.
Hogback sure looked freaked out when he heard about Brooke. Wonder what's their connection.
-
Maybe this arc is meant to flesh out the "weaker" cast members? Like, Nami, Usopp, and Chopper end up figuring out everything and solve the problems while the rest of the crew plays catch-up? I'm still loving the scenery for this arc, too.
-
Brooke could be from Hogback's past.
-
problem with this theory- how would a cat devil fruit make it to the sunny and back?
Most likely it had help. Probably from other ghosts/invisible creatures.
-There was a ghost spying on Luffy and the others on their ship. We saw these same ghosts in the woods with the cat as you pointed out.
-The "invisible cat" said "You…. become our bride…!!!" to Nami.
-I doubt Luffy and the others were attacked by just one invisible creature.Either way, I think your theory is going in the right direction.
-
Well, I guess it just wouldn't be horror without a shower scene, would it? Yeah, seriously, Nami can go a few chapters without getting molested now, thanks.
-
Usopp got to see Nami totally naked for AN ENTIRE DAMN CHAPTER!XDD
Sanji is gonna be totally pissed/jealous!ROFL!Hogback has the body of penguin and the face of that doctor from NightMare Before Christmas!XDD

Me thinks this person hit the nail on the head.
Hey All, this is my first post within these forums.
I read the most recent chap and noticed something, although it may be nothing. During the part where brooke's name is mentioned to Dr. Hogback this frame is shown with what looks to be a pirate insignia.Good eye! But maybe Hogbak is studying the dead to resurrect Brooke's body or something?
-
If Sanji does end up fighting the invisible..whatsit, I predict it will go somewhat like Yamcha's fight with the Invisible Man in DB. Contrary to Carter's sig, Yamcha actually won that fight.
-
And the fan-service just keeps coming. Oda couldn't stop after Nami Vs. Kalifa, noooooooooo, Nami had to be almost-sexually harrased - naked, somehow.
Great chapter! :P
-
True Yamcha did beat the Invisible man thanks to master Roshi for getting a nose bleed when he saw Bulma's boobs XD,This was a very great chapter my favorite parts will have to be:
1.Seeing Naked Nami
2.Usopp saying thank you when seeing Nami naked
3.Hogback,Usopp,and Chopper eating pudding on the table
4.That girl(forgot her name)throwing plates at Usopp XD -
@Nomur:
And the fan-service just keeps coming. Oda couldn't stop after Nami Vs. Kalifa, noooooooooo, Nami had to be almost-sexually harrased - naked, somehow.
Great chapter! :P
Almost sexually harassed? Do you call being pinned to a wall against your will, naked, just sexual harassment? No. That's borderline assault.
-
I love how this arc is so Burtonesque!
To the point where we're even getting Batman related interpretations!
WARNING SPOILERS…
It's true.
The mannerisms Hogback uses and the way he carries himself are just so Devito Penguin-like that I couldn't help myself. On an unrelated note, his grin is a bit Jokerish to be honest as well.
The minute I saw him I was like "WOW… I can already tell when he's in a Grand Battle and I'm playing with my friends who don't keep up with everything, they are totally nicknaming this guy The Penguin." They usually make up names for the characters instead of remembering the real ones. Most are actually really accurate and hilarious.
Anyway, this chapter was amazing. The pacing was beautiful, and I truly love the direction that Oda is taking with this arc.
-
NAMI NAMI NAMI NAMI NAMI What the hell, Oda? What's up with all this fanservice?! RAPE IN THE TUB AND I LOVE IT!!
-
most likly we will see brooke next chapter and luffyand co fighting zombles
-
I just had a bad idea for One Piece
Yea, well, Oda already had it
You left out the part where Oda takes that stupid idea and pees rainbows on it until it's the best thing ever.
-
I love this chapter!
Usopp with naked Nami is a good thingWhatever be the influence, I'm just orgasmic over all the character designs.
I'm still not convinced Hogback is evil. He seems to have started out with good intentions…could it be that his toying with the dead, he went insane and lost his original dream in favor of abominable experimentations? Or is he still a good guy, but he created a "monster" (the invisible man?) that he has lost control of and is trying desperately to make amends?Great color spread too. :wub: Franky is teh sex.
His line about studying and experimenting with life and death screamed Mary Shelly's Frankenstein to me.
-
I haven't seen anyone yet suggesting that invisible man could be a werewolf. That would explain his human shape and the licking. I know invisible werewolf sounds a bit odd but why no combine your horror monsters?
The fan service was quite good since it had a b-movie feel, unlike the Kalifa fan service which felt totally out of place.
Awesome chapter overall. I'm not convinced that Hogback is evil despite almost all clues pointing towards it.
EDIT: We have had skeletons, vampires, zombies, mad doctors, constructed monsters, ghosts – so obviously what we lack is werewolves.
-
Ehh, the invisible man sounds that will be the villain arc. But if so, I hope he has a character development in the next chapters… just being perverted makes him less interesting than guys like Foxy or Bellamy.
-
Ehh, the invisible man sounds that will be the villain arc.
Nah. The Invisible Man is to easily beaten, just a can of tomatoe sauce will do.
-
Geez, why are people looking for villians already?! Just give the arc some time to develop will ya?
-

I had that thought as well, especially because they cut to a wolf howling in the distance before entering the mansion.
However, Jabura, the wolf devil fruit user cp9 agent who beat up usopp and got his chest kicked in by sanji counts as a werewolf from my point of view. So, I can't really imagine Oda pulling a wolf/man bad guy again right after the last one has been beaten.
Besides, that cheshire cat is scarier than any werewolf. You can see his ribs through open holes in his hide and he's wearing Goggles! A cat wearing goggles is diabolical by nature. Just look at all those moral improving kitten posters.
-
Oh boy, Nami's gettin sexy and sexier
-
So the group dynamic is now:
Sanji: Philosophizes the situation.
Robin: Insane goth.
Franky: Looking for a fight.
Zoro: Too good to fight just about everyone, but judges them nonetheless.
