Controversial Are the Celestial Dragons based on real world events?

#1
Specifically the concept of the being above normal people. Or ordained by a God of sorts.

From my understanding most religions have this sort of hierarchy in some respects to a certain level.
So do the Celestial Dragons have a sort of faith that they have spread through out Mariejois?

Anyway you can't deny its something interesting to ponder on, if Oda would ever include something like a fictional in story religion in his story.

He can call it the "Soaring Dragon" cult, which implicates the Celestial Dragons into searing their literal foots on to their slaves backs

It's pretty obvious there is real life inspiration here. No need to make a thread about this.

In my opinion Imu is based on Satan "the god of the world", the celestial dragons are the nobility / billionaires, don't work but get money by getting cuts from the workers because they own the land and means of production and opress others

You know I don't remember ever thinking about this but

Maigeoise is one city with a feminine name

Imu was thought to be female

Revelation chapter 18 talks about a great city, Babylon, that God will destroy at the end of the world

.

Revelation 18:1-2

And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

2

And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

3

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

4

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

5

For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.



.


Revelation 18:7-10

How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

8

Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

9

And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

10

Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.



.



Revelation 18:21





“And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.”


.

And since Imu is inspired by the devil or just is the devil

And Nika has tons of christian references

Could Marigeoise be inspired by Babylon?
