      I thought about what we're seeing in the current arc, and I realized that Hogback is animating and lives and minds to things like old trees, teddy bears, rugs, pig heads, and much more… this can't be science! The people that come out of paintings too...

      Is it science or is it some sort of devil fruit? I'm guessing that perhaps there is a team effort needed between Moria, Hogback, and perhaps even Perona. Maybe moria needs to give shadows to Hogback's creations once he's prepared them or something? Let's brainstorm some ideas for how it could be explained before Oda reveals it!

        If stuff like that happens, there usually is a wizard responsible for all of that. 😉

          Then Hogback is a wizard 😉

            it could be a wizard. there was one in the original manga. i personally think it might be the shadows of people put into an objects.

              I remember reading somewhere he wouldn't use magic since he has the devil fruits.

                It is true that magic is often overused in stories. Since Oda is creative and tries to stray from the ordinary, I doubt it's a magician.

                There is a possibility that it is a Devil Fruit, but one can only guess until we have more information. He is a famous doctor, so I think people would've known if he had a DV.

                Besides, isn't the devil fruit Brook ate similar to this? I wouldn't say Oda would use comparable devil fruits. 🙂

                  I was reading my volume 1 of OP again and in the back there are some comments about Oda's earlier works, Romance Dawn 1 and 2.

                  In Romance Dawn 1, the bad guy could use magic, and although that work exists in another universe of the OP we know today, I think there is a large likely hood Oda might bring back magic. I mean he used the grandpa in Romance Dawn 2 as the design for Garp right.

                      you're right wolfpox that it definitely isn't science. Rather it's Oda's standard brand of science fiction.

                      Oda tends to use science as a theme for non-devil fruit related super powers rather than magical abilities. Instead of magic wands or kamehameha beams he just uses a popular scientific concept as a basis for a superpower. For example, django's hypnosis ability, cp9's rokushiki techniques, the climatact, and franky's carbonation powered engines all are based on valid scientific theories that are tweaked slightly to be more entertaining and pwoerful.

                      The zombie resurrection concept is likely taken from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, which was based off of a real world debate. In the early 1800's researchers would go around electrocuting dead animals to watch their limbs twitch and some researchers thought that it would only be a matter of time before one could use this electricity induced animation to fully reanimate the dead.

                      It's not too much of a stretch to combine those old theories with modern equipment like the defibrillator and some made up special embalming fluid to explain the resurrection of dead matter in a science fiction manner. You can even see the equipment to monitor the electric current strength at the back of Hogback's lab.

                      So, there's no need to invoke magic in this situation because science fiction more than fills the gap.

                        @Kma:

                        I was reading my volume 1 of OP again and in the back there are some comments about Oda's earlier works, Romance Dawn 1 and 2.

                        In Romance Dawn 1, the bad guy could use magic, and although that work exists in another universe of the OP we know today, I think there is a large likely hood Oda might bring back magic. I mean he used the grandpa in Romance Dawn 2 as the design for Garp right.

                        Yes, but Garp was brought back differently, just with the same position in the family. Instead of a retired pirate he is now and old Marine vice admiral.

                        I think so far the only major 3 things to come back are:

                        1: Shanks was removed to preserve the surprise for the final version.

                        2: Luffy's Grandpa was brought back.

                        3: The Bull inspired villain, namely Blueno.

                        THe giant bird that kidnapped Luffy might be related to Anna's bird somehow, although if I remember correctly it looked more like Pierre.

                            hogback has a devilfruit….why could he instead of this bring people back to life(he isn`t god)👅 maybe he has fruit that allows him everything he touchs will become a living object (so also the bear could be explained) and he is a great doctor----so he can build persons from different parts of human bodys and could awake them to life--=zombies with scares everywhere

                              Somehow I doubt that Hogback uses a DF power in his scientific work. There must be another more scientific explanation.

                                Hogback just uses the same thing Dr. Frankenstein used: Shocks the brain cells back into function.

                                  I agree that Hogback doesnt have a DF.. Because why would he have to cut the open, and leave them scarred if his DF just let him renimate people
