Goddess of Death. One Piece X F!Reader { ON HOLD:UNDERGOING HEAVY EDITING}

75. ௹ Dr. Hogback ௹

After running for a few minutes the quartet assumed it was safe.

"Guys if I turn into a zombie finish me off." Usopp stated dramatically.
"You read too many of those books." Nami stated. The only thing on Chopper's mind at the moment was meeting Dr. Hogback.

"I can't wait to meet Dr. Hogback." He exclaimed. A certain dark haired woman just wanted to know why they didn't stay and fight it, was the best way to ensure that nobody disturbed them again. 

The mansion was huge with a pair of towering doors that were already open. They all walked through the doors and into an empty space. It didn't look like anyone was present at the moment. They walked around and came upon an indoor well where there was another door but this one was closed.

"Hey! Dr. Hogback! Is anyone in this mansion? We're travelling pir- sailors." There was still nobody but a bright light turned on illuminating the intruders. A blonde woman came up holding multiple plates, she had stitches across her face and her skin was a sick pale colour just like the bat man that escorted them in the carriage.

"Welcome!" She then started throwing the plates in hand at Usopp. 
"These three may enter but not you." She then pointed to Usopp.

"Why me?!" Usopp was being singled out for no reason at all.

"That's enough! Hold your hand!." A man then walked through the doors, "Cindry I think we can make an exception," he wore a fish net top with some purple leggings and a purple fur to match. He looks odd that's what they all thought but it would be rude to say anything.

"I apologise for her behaviour she used to throw plates in her master's home to prove his love for her." That was no reasonable excuse.

"So odd. Maybe you look like her ex." Y/n told Usopp to which he shook his head in defiance.

"I've failed to introduce myself. I am the world-renowned Dr. Hogback. Also known as a genius." All in the group were disappointed except for Chopper whose eyes held only wonder. Was this really the guy that Chopper was so desperate to meet? It was rather anticlimactic but at least they would enter the manse. 

Cindry then started to throw plates at Usopp again, but he learned to duck them already.

"Chopper is this the guy you were talking about?" Usopp asked skeptically.

"Dr. Hogback in the flesh!" The deer practically had stars floating around him.

"He doesn't seem too bright." Nami stated which made the group's informant chuckle.

"Watch it! Nami!" The woman finished throwing plates after a lot of convincing from Dr. Hogback.

"You may talk inside, today I'll make an exception all four of you may enter. Come in." She then walked ahead of the rest.
"R-Right, right! Come inside my mansion." It was like the doctor did not expect the visitors to come. He looked over the guests and his eyes stopped at the raven haired beauty and she noticed this as well. When he looked a little longer than necessary she was sure that he knew them.

"I don't get why I wasn't welcome, but should we take them up on the offer?" Usopp consulted with his crewmates.

"Sure beats the zombies outside." Nami stated.

"I didn't have thirds for supper so I'm still hungry." Y/n stated. With that they all entered and were led to a dinner table. Hogback sat at the head while Nami sat next to Usopp with Y/n and Chopper opposite them.

"It's a pleasure to welcome you to my mansion. What brings you here?" Hogback asked.

"Zombies attacked us so we ran for cover." Nami stated.
"So many weird things," Usopp added.
