Religion is the belief in and worship of a deity. Various people and civilizations in the world follow a vast array of religions, and various allusions to gods, devils, and religion have been made through architecture and speech.
God in Skypiea
In Skypiea, the title of "God" refers to the ruling body of the sky islands. God is generally looked at as a governing class of sorts. However, other than the title itself, the position of God holds no religious or divine overtones, being a regular physical being who is neither all-powerful nor perfect. The first known man to hold this position was Ubau, who governed four hundred years prior to the current storyline, and Gan Fall held the position of the previous God eight years prior, before Enel took over. Enel took this title too seriously, matching some of the "all powerful" and "omniscient" traits prior to his defeat by Luffy, and naming most of his lightning-based attacks after thunder gods of various religions. After Enel was gone, Gan Fall reclaimed the title.
Gods in Shandora
In Shandia (at the times when they lived on Jaya), people worshipped giant pythons (e.g. Kashigami) as their "Gods", and even made human sacrifices to them under the guidance of a Pantri. During those sacrifices, they would call upon the Gods of Land, Sun, Forest and Rain to hear their plea. This practice ceased when Mont Blanc Noland and his crew arrived at Jaya and cured the tribe of Tree Fever.
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. Sea Cats are seen as holy animals with a strong taboo against harming them, as seen when Zoro, Luffy and Sanji wanted to kill a Sea Cat for food, but were prevented from going through with it by Vivi. Like Pell and Chaka's Zoan transformations, this mirrors Ancient Egyptian beliefs, specifically reverence for cats.
•Several others have "God", "Demon", or other religious theme as part of their monikers:
•Gin, known as the "Man-Demon".
•Sengoku, known as "The Buddha".
•Laffitte, known as the "Demon Sheriff".
•Doc Q, known as the "Death God".
•Donquixote Doflamingo, known as the "Heavenly Yaksha".
The anime has occasionally censored religious imagery based on real-life religions, particularly Christianity. For example, a nun in Flevance is shown with a cross necklace or rosary during her death in the manga, but in the anime this is replaced with a generic pendant. Another instance is the grave of Vinsmoke Sora, which is in the shape of a cro...

There is actually quite a few biblical references in one piece just to name a few Mihawk's cross necklace, the three trees (Knowledge, Adam, Eve), Ark noah etc. I think they are just references and have their own significant role within One piece. 6. Award. Share.
Oda is Tying Everything to the Bible. Theory. I know most Shonen series tend to reference Buddhist or Hindu ideals and characters but this is a going idea of mine. Basically I believe a lot of things reference the Bible in OP and I will clearly name each character or thing here and what they reference as succinctly as possible.
Jan 12, 2013 · 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.

Nov 27, 2012 · Chopper and Ussop confronted zombies with a typical cross as well at Thriller Bark, and many other such references here and there. As for Kuma's bible, it need not be a Xian bible necessarily. The term bible may and frequently does represent a set of book on some subject (let's say cyborg maintenance) bound together in a single volume. DE..
