One Piece and Christianity

This time I will publish the relationship between One Piece and Christianity, Oda-sensei is not a Christian, but his attraction to Christianity is very large, so I tell what elements of Christianity in One Piece.

I think all otaku know One Piece, so I do not have to explain about One Piece. But if you want know about One Piece see One Piece


First...

Bartholomew Kuma has a bible (notable as it has "BIBLE" in full capitals) in his hands and always carries it with him.
Look at this picture:

Then Gekko Moriah wears a cross around his neck, this is the picture:

And Mihawk also has weapons modeled after crucifixes, just like Kogatana that he uses it just like a cross necklace:

And Kokuto Yoru the one of most powerful swords in anime:

So one could say the Shichibukai might be a holy organization. However the religious emblems they carry could simply be due to the fact that the privateers they are modeled after happened to be religious.

On a separate note, while the country of Alabasta looks like to be Middle Eastern land, their graves are cross-shaped. The graves of Fishman Island's Sea Forest are also shaped like crosses.

In episode 48 of the anime, the Liturgy of the Hours can be heard in Loguetown when Luffy sees the sign for the Gold Roger Bar.

Two towns near Water 7, St. Poplar and San Faldo both contain the word "saint" in their names ("san" means saint in Spanish and Italian), suggesting there is a belief in saints or angels in One Piece. 

In the Arlong Park Arc, a cross marks Bell-mère's grave.

Look at these pictures:

 Bell-mère's original      Bell-mère's new
    wooden grave.             stone grave

In the Whiskey Peak Arc, some of the Baroque Works mercenaries were dressed as nuns, one of them attacking with gas hidden in a Christian cross. Additionally the tombstones on the cactus mountains are cross shaped and at least one building in Whiskey Peak is shown to have crosses at the top of its towers.


Jesus Burgess is named after the messiah of Christianity, Jesus Christ.
On the original TV Broadcast of the FUNimation dub, Burgess' family name was changed to "G. Zess", keeping the phonic pronunciation, but changing the actual spelling.
