Ripley is a typical norse woman, but if anyone who isn't living there will take Lagertha as a reference and their hair design is quite similar.

Third one is the one and only Trojan War hero Achilles, of course they do not look 1:1, but with some knowledge you can tell Oda took the reference from him. Elbaph is center around Norse/Greek mythology, Hajrudin is the only giant wearing a greek soldier outfit. He has a shield and also used a ability called gungnir which is a spear. His double edge axe represents the symbol called "Labrys" in ancient greek. No one use double edge axe anyway because it's too heavy.

Shakky’s backstory is based on Helen of Troy

Reflects his status as the child of an outsider, his name sounds middle eastern

 

[Juanpiz]

Sometimes he Mixes stuff too,Like with Hancock (turning people into Stone Like greek mythology and English Name)

 

[Rackham]

Hajrudin and the Giants have nothing to do with Greek Spartans/Roman Legionaries, they are based on Vikings.

I think DawnDusk showed his reference before, but I cannot remember the name, prolly someone from middle east.

Ancient Greek is the Ancient Kingdom and the influence kinda spreads across the One Piece world, a little bit here and there.

Hajrudin and the Giants have nothing to do with Greek Spartans/Roman Legionaries, they are based on Vikings.

Maybe a little Greek influence, mainly on Hajrudin.

Birthday Star

Only the hat

Some characters are a mix of two or more, so I got no clue where the rest come from.

Betty is

I see..this painting is more spicy than I remember.

Her Bob Haircut
In 1909, Antoni Cierplikowski, called Antoine de Paris, a Polish hairdresser who became the world's first celebrity hairdresser, started a fashion for a short bob cut. He said it was inspired by accounts of Joan of Arc.

She is wearing novelty sunglasses just for style aspect I guess.

Golden Hair Lion King --> Shiki The Golden Lion
Very strong guy and he has a sword called Dragon Slayer Sword.

 

[ArturCantSpeakJapanese]

And

Shiryu and M.Bison are both inspired by the same character from Teito Monogatari, the legendary onmyoji Yasunori Katou

He's basically the ultimate evil wizard in Japanese fiction. This is a big reason for why I think Shiryu will become more important later. Katou is a powerful magician and demon summoner. Will Shiryu end up being able to use the Abyss?
