It appears that the Yonko and Shichibukai came to existence around 10 years prior to beginning of the series. I guess it's something that would have revolved around the world. And this is very specific to Arlong and Jones actions because of Jinbe.
One correction, in a recent SBS the author stated Crocodile became a Shichibukai around 20 years ago. That's odd, since the rest of the Shichibukai have consistently been said to have joined the Shichibukai about a decade ago.

Then either there were six other Warlords alongside Crocodile ten years before the others, or Crocodile was the only one till the others joined.

Crocodile joined 16 years ago, Hancock 13-14 years ago, Jinbe 11 years ago. 12 years ago, Kuma was still with Dragon for example.
So, i think that the addition happened one after the other and it was not called Shichibukai from the beginning but who knows.

So anyway, guys. I was surfing Ishuhui, and I found some very interesting stuff that I want do myself the pleasure of sharing with you, guys.

The first one is about a parallel between Barto and the painting of 'Liberty Leading the People'.


The second one is about the parallel between Cavendish and Napoleon on one of the five versions of canvases named 'Napoleon Crossing the Alps'.


Another one is about the parallel between the dining of the Don Quixote family and the depiction of the 'Last Supper'(the last meal that Jesus shared with his apostles in Jerusalem before crucifixion,according to the Gospel accounts).

^ Those are awesome, and lol @ Usopp x)

I came here to write this down: a couple of days ago I had a sudden realization out of the blue, and it probably means nothing but it really did a trick on my mind for a few minutes. Maybe it's nothing new, but eh :derp

Bellamy = bel ami, and given the meaning (in French) and the connotation it has with the book of the same name, I don't think it's coincidental at all(and, for that reason alone, I don't think that this is new :/...).

Still, I think it's really cool that he did turn out to be a good friend after being a real scoundrel.

Bellamy is also the name of an English pirate
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Bellamy
Ironically he was called the "Prince of pirates" and he saw himself as Robin hood, because he stole from the rich.
I think he's most likely the inspiration for Bellamy, just like the rest of the pirates that are based on real life pirates.
Law might be based on Ned Lowe, or so I saw in a vid the other day.

Interesting find, 12 disciples and one of them betrayed Jesus; Baby 5 betrayed Joker.

I think it's safe to assume Corazon was meant to represent the one that betrayed Jesus.

If anyone is familiar or fluent in Japanese? If so, is there a word for "natural enemies of god" or something along those lines?

It's literally Kami no tenteki (神の天敵=god's natural enemy) in the manga. Not sure if there's a one word that describes that.

Hmm, was trying to see if that'd draw any connections to what the D's real name could be. Thanks :)

If we consider that God's enemy is the Devil like in the Bible, then maybe D stands for Devil. But I don't know if in Japan the Devil is specifically referred to as God's natural enemy. In Shinto there isn't really a figure like the Devil, but in Buddhism Mara can be said to be close to the definition of the Devil.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mara_(demon)
In Shinto there's Enma who is the ruler of the underworld, he's not the devil though. His role is more like someone who judges the dead.
The D might not be related to that, and if anything it looks like all the Ds have "strange encounters with fate" as Sengoku says himself. And there's the whole will of D thing, or the inherited will. So maybe destiny is a valid connection.

Also, I find something pretty interesting; Law's D initial is his hidden name while Water is his taboo name, I wonder if all D's hold taboo names too and they're not aware of it? Would be great to get a backstory on Law's parents.

No D is the taboo/hidden name, or so I understood. Given the reaction of Rocinante, it's the D that should be hidden.
