Arabasta

The name for Alabasta most likely comes from "Alabaster" a mineral found in Egyptian architecture and art.

Arabasta is the replication of Egypt and their civilization. You can see two zoan fruit users in Arabasta, and the same animals face with human body can be seen in Egypt sculptures.

Pell And Chaka

As two minor characters in the epic Alabasta arc, Pell and Chaka are often disregarded as seemingly insignificant in the One Piece lore. Pell, with his hawk visage, is representative of the Egyptian solar deity Horus and Chaka, his jackal-headed companion, represents Anubis, the Egyptian deity of death.

In the Egyptian myth, the two are siblings. Armed with this knowledge, Pell's sacrificial ascent and improbable resurrection in the arc's climax become metaphorically clear, as the Sun always rises- especially when he's friends with death personified.

Crocodile

Sobek (also called Sebek) was an ancient Egyptian deity with a complex and elastic history and nature.[3] He is associated with the Nile crocodile or the West African crocodile and is represented either in its form or as a human with a crocodile head. Sobek was also associated with pharaonic power, fertility, and military prowess, but served additionally as a protective deity with apotropaic qualities, invoked especially for protection against the dangers presented by the Nile.

Sobek is, above all else, an aggressive and animalistic deity who lives up to the vicious reputation of his patron animal, the large and violent Nile crocodile/West African crocodile. Some of his common epithets betray this nature succinctly, the most notable of which being: "he who loves robbery", "he who eats while he also mates", and "pointed of teeth".[4] However, he also displays grand benevolence in more than one celebrated myth. After his association with Horus and consequent adoption into the Osirian triad of Osiris, Isis, and Horus in the Middle Kingdom, Sobek became associated with Isis as a healer of the deceased Osiris (following his violent murder by Set in the central Osiris myth).

Sichibukai

In One Piece, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are based on real world privateers. A privateer was a pirate with papers. As the name suggests, privateers were private individuals commissioned by governments to carry out quasi-military activities. They would sail in privately owned armed ships, robbing merchant vessels and pillaging settlements belonging to a rival country. Privateers sometimes went beyond their commissions, attacking vessels that didn't belong to the targeted country. This extracurricular raiding and pillaging was indistinguishable from piracy The Happo Navy also had a similar deal with the Kano Country,[35] until they cut ties with their country. The Straw Hats themselves have done things similar to privateering such as fighting Crocodile and the Baroque Works for Arabasta where initially, Nami only agreed to protect Vivi for a price.

Poneglyhp

The Poneglyph found in Alabasta is located in the Tomb of the Kings, an obvious reference to the Valley of the Kings.

The Valley of the Kings (Arabic: وادي الملوك Wādī al-Mulūk; Coptic: ϫⲏⲙⲉ, romanized: džēme),[1] also known as the Valley of the Gates of the Kings (Arabic: وادي أبواب الملوك Wādī Abwāb al-Mulūk),[2] is a valley in Egypt where, for a period of nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC, rock-cut tombs were excavated for the pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom (the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Dynasties of Ancient Egypt).

The Poneglyph itself resembles The Rosetta Stone which was found 1799 during the French Expedition to Egypt.

Gods in Arabasta

In Arabasta, the title "God" refers to the strongest guardians of the royal family. Pell and Chaka (the two head guards under Igaram of the Arabasta Kingdom) often refer to themselves as the "Guardian Gods" of Arabasta and the royal family. Their Zoan-type Devil Fruit transformations (a falcon and jackal respectively) resemble the two Egyptian gods Horus and Anubis, the two strongest gods in the Egyptian pantheon.
