Ho

Dr. Ho is the palace medic of Alabasta's royal family. He seems to hold Drum medicine in great respect. He tries to have a consultation with Chopper, but is too baffled by his way of insulting people when being praised.

Appearance
Dr. Ho is a rather aged man, who wears a long cyan robe which covers most of his body, as well as a lilac scarf/cloak. He also wears a tall circular hat, similar to a fez, although instead of tapering into the conventional fez shape, it seems to expand in a shape similar to the center of an hourglass. He has gray facial hair, which takes the form of a medium-length full beard starting below his nose carrying on past his chin. He has full lips, which are shown through his beard. He also wears circular glasses similar to those worn by Kuro.

Personality
Ho seems to be a very curious and well-mannered doctor, and shows great interest in other doctors, perhaps in an effort to gain more medical knowledge. He also seemed confused by Chopper's contradictory behavior when he praises him.

Alabasta Arc
Dr. Ho is shown watching Chopper as he makes medicine after Alabasta is saved, when the Straw Hats are recuperating in the palace. He asks Chopper if he can watch him work, to which Chopper reacts with his usual response to positive attention from humans, berating him for asking, while happily dancing and pulling a chair out for the doctor. Dr. Ho proceeds to ask if he should sit down.
