Looks like Oda is going to pay homage to his favourite work - Dragon Ball.

hmm, why did that pop up in your mind?? I think it's quite fitting to have gladiators fight (to death??) inside the arena on a lawless island where human trafficking, murder and all around craziness is a common thing this just seems fitting. Think Rome 😛

Is it just me or does Luffy look just like master Roshi with his fake beard lol. Monkey Hermit FTW!

See Master Roshi's reference in the hat/beard. The ending fight scene was also a tribute to Dragon Ball. Oda is quite open about his love for Dragon Ball.

Haha so i wasn't the only one. It was completely a db moment right there. The next thing will be him going bald. Haha how long do you think he can keep up his coustume.

Same.

On another note, I think one thing I picked up from this manga is to not mess with old people...
