During Thriller Bark Arc, it was shown that all general zombies are under the
command of Absalom and all zombies must follow the orders of their commander.

Then how is Lola able to chase after Absalom even though he keeps telling her
that he will not marry her? Also, Lola comes and saves Nami from Absalom even
though they are enemies and Lola was given order to fight Straw Hat crew?

How is Lola (a general zombie) able to do what she wants?


The Zombies are created when a deceased/artificially created body is infused
with another living person's shadow. The shadow possesses its own will, think
Ryouma's body with Brook's shadow and how they fought, with the zombie
disregarding Moriya completely for quite some time, as Brook is mentioned to
have fought Ryouma/Shadow Brook for quite some time.

It's not uncommon for other shadows to be able to overpower Moriya's attempted
control, or at the very least, where their basic instincts and impulses,
ingrained into their very personalities is concerned. The Straw Hat crew
zombies, like the pug Inuppe and the Jigoro constantly fighting, like their
originals, Sanji and Zoro.

The answer can be found when Moria infuses Oars' body with Luffy's shadow, in
Chapter 457. Moria is the Master of Shadows; when he is talking to a shadow
directly, he has complete control over them. Therefore, it is during that time
that he needs to give details directives to the shadows **before he infuses
the shadow in the Zombie's body**.

For example, if he does explicitly state that the shadow should forget
everything about his past, his personality might remain with the Zombie. Note
that Luffy's personality remained at first because of the size difference
between the shadow's original body and Oar's.

As Dr. Hogback states, they were not always aware of those rules and therefore
made some mistakes with a number of Zombies (the only confirmed case is
Cindy). We can however extend that theory to other Zombies which did not
necessarily obey their masters perfectly, like Lola.

(For conciseness purposes, only part of pages 4 and 5 are shown.)
