Thriller Bark Island:
"Kishishishishi!" Moria placed his hand on his forehead and laughed as if there was no tomorrow.
Of course, he was laughing at the foolish counterattack plan of the Straw Hat Crew after they lost the first round.
"Do you think it's easy to kick my butt, Straw Hat? Kishishishi~! Without Haki? With your weak physical strength? Come on then!"
"Or do you think that because you defeated the weakest Shichibukai, that Crocodile, that means it will be easy for you to defeat me, too!?
"Fool, fool, fool!! Just like you presented in the One Piece story! Despite you being the protagonist of the story, you are still very foolish, Kishishishishi!!"
Inside the art store, Moria continued his insane laughter while reading the manga.
He saw the Straw Hat Crew starting their counterattack, while the insane version of himself is carefree without any consideration of the risks that made Moria feel something wrong.
Yes, he felt nervous, something was just wrong, he wasn't worried about what will happen in the manga now since he had already defeated and overpowered Luffy once, it doesn't matter if he loses or wins again.
He will make sure that Luffy and others don't have any chance of defeating him again in reality.
"This manga is really great! It shows us all our mistakes and failed plans so we can fix them... Kishishishishi!!!"

"One Piece" Events:
—————————
After the bridge leading to the mansion was destroyed by the ancient giant Oars, Sanji and Usopp fell and were separated from Luffy, Chopper, and Robin, who continued to run towards Moria's location. They soon arrived at the Dance Hall where they encountered Dr. Hogback and his servant, the zombie Cindry-chan.
"Ah... Uwoh!! Yo- You!!!" "Didn't Perona take care of you!?"
Chopper immediately became angry upon seeing this scene: "HOGBACK!!!!"
Hogback was surprised to see the angry reindeer without any reason: "What's with this reindeer!?"
Robin was also surprised to see him as it was clear that she knew something about him: "So that's Dr. Hogback!!!!"
Luffy began moving his hand in circles, preparing to hit Hogback: "He's the guy that was with Moria!! Should we kick his butt too!!?"
Hogback panicked upon seeing this: "Wa... Wa- Wa- Wait!!"
Chopper spoke up, having finally made a decision: "Wait Luffy!!! Could you leave this guy to me?"
"There's a door over there, right!?... That's the freezer!! You go ahead!!!"
"Yosh got it!!" Luffy was more than happy to leave it to Chopper to take care of.
...
..
Chopper returned to his normal form before shouting out his hopeless anger towards the doctor who he had idolized only until today: "Hogback!!! I am disappointed in you!!! You're no longer a doctor in my eyes!!!"
Chopper's words did not affect Hogback's mood, who only laughed: "Oooh... Foshfoshfosh... I didn't recognize you Dr. Chopper, so you were a Zoan-Type Fruit user... I thought you were an odd creature."
"I don't know what you did to escape your transport in Perona's garden but now that we've met here. Don't think you'll get away. I'll have your shadow.......!!"
At this moment, the zombies of Zoro and Sanji arrived: "No... Perhaps... If instead, I kill you... And fashion you into a marionette? And you can join these guys..."
•———•———•———•———•———•———•———•
Kureha and Hiriluck were annoyed while reading this passage of manga, as they glared at Hogback with cold eyes.
"Hoi, Hoi! Greetings to you, I didn't say that, it's my own manga version that said that."
Hogback noticed the annoyance of Kureha and Hiriluck and sat next to them.
"It seems that my little one is disappointed and hopeless in you... Have you now seen the extent of the impact of your future actions on good doctors?"
Hiriluck clicked his tongue before saying anything with disappointment.
"Yes, yes, yes, my future self has taken the wrong path completely and it's very clear...I will never take such a path again!"
"Really?" At this moment, Kureha who had been silent for some time spoke.
"Of course! Didn't I already make the decision to join you guys, my comrades!?" Hogback was agitated due to the change in the attitude of these large shots. Hadn't they been good with him just a few minutes ago?
"It's not that we don't trust you, but your face was designed to look evil...Ihihihihi! Well, I also had a witch's face before so I won't blame you for something that's not in your control."
"Hogback!"
"Yes, Kureha-Sama!" Hogback replied obediently.
"Regardless of what happens with this arc...I've seen with my own eyes how disappointed Chopper is to have an evil doctor as his idol...From now on, make sure to take a different path completely so that the public's perception of you changes."
Hearing what Kureha said, Hogback responded fiercely: "Understood! Understood! I'll definitely do that!"

North Blue, Flevance Island:
After laughing happily and playing a little with the baby in the womb, Marry and her husband returned to reading manga with great focus.
"It looks like Dr. Chopper is disappointed by this man..."
"I'm also disappointed by him, he's not as well-known yet in the manga, but who knows, he may become what he is now after gaining fame?"
Marry and Chris, the couple, freely discussed their thoughts about the story of Hogback.
"This has nothing to do with fame or variations, the real doctor should remain dedicated to the values of a doctor! Who is the doctor? He is the person who saves lives!"
Chris was also angry and disappointed, he could feel and empathize with Chopper's situation, feeling as if he had been betrayed.
"While this villain called Hogback is killing people and creatures, and stitching their corpses together to make lifeless corpses for Moria to make an army of zombies... Marry, do you see that, all these 900 zombies, every single one of them were once thousands of living creatures... and now they are just dead corpses."
"Does this mean that future Hogback will kill many people?"
Marry shuddered after realizing the situation finally.
"He is just a gruesome killer!"
