Silvers Rayleigh — Dark King (冥王 / Meiō)
Meiō is the Japanese name for Hades/Pluto, the ruler of the dead and king of the underworld in Greek mythology.
Scopper Gaban — Mountain-Eater (山喰らい / Yamagurai)
The obvious meaning of Yama here is 'mountain', but Yama is also the name of the Hindu god of death and judge of the dead. In Buddhist tradition, Yama transformed into Enma in Japan, the ruler and judge of Hell.
Roger had:
Rayleigh → Hades/Pluto → King of the Underworld / ruler of the dead
Gaban → Yama/Enma → King of Hell / ruler of the dead
ZoLo outright declares that he'll become the King of Hell (地獄の王 / Jigoku no Ō), and his upgraded sword style is called En-Ō Santōryū (閻王三刀流).
And what does En-Ō (閻王) refer to?
Once again: Yama/Enma, the King of Hell.
So the pattern is already sitting there:
Rayleigh → Meiō → Hades/Pluto
Gaban → Yama → Enma/Yama
ZoLo → En-Ō → Enma/Yama
For years, 'King of Hell' has been treated like ZoLo received exclusive ownership of the underworld from Oda himself.
Soon the Zboys will be forced to confront that Oda did not create the entire concept of Hell specifically for their beloved ZoLo
