Oda I swear to ****ing God.
People have theorized Doffy lost an eye, which is why he wears shades(So people can't see an injured ¨God), and this dude also lost sight in his eye. It'd be cool if Oda really makes Doffy blind in one eye.

No but there are a lot of Little nods to Napoleon around Law ... Trafalgar D Water Law (Trafalgasr - the naval battle against Napoleon in which Horatio Nelson was a hero, Waterloo - Napoleons loss, Wellington, ...)
There are a LOT of threads about this on the forums go check it out

LOL are you actually serious? Trafalgar Cape is the site of an important naval battle, which was part of the Napoleonic War. Napoleon was ultimately defeated at Waterloo, which ties into Wateru, the Japanese pronounciation of Law's middle name; the Japanese don't have the letter L in their vocabulary, hence why Luffy's name, for example, is romanized and pronounced as Rufi. The British commander at Waterloo was the Duke of Wellington; Wellington being the name of the pirate we saw Law and Baby 5 fighting in the flashback.
There is no overthinking, the references can be seen by Helen Keller.
Then I'll explain. It's overthinking because Nelson's arm loss didn't happen at Trafalgar. The connection you found is "this guy who fought at Trafalgar was missing an arm" at best. If Law dies, will you draw another parallel to Nelson?

Open your eyes, bud, there's no such things as coincidences. Dying is a vague and happens to everyone, losing an arm is specific and isn't common, so it's a reference.

No, he wasn't, obviously. But he was notably maimed, people know about it. Deny it all you want cuz, the references are reall.

I hope the parralles end with the arm I don't want dear old Law saying "Now Doffy is defeated I can join u now Cora–san" coz as epic/whatever as death in victory wld b it wldnt sit well with me coz I like Law a lot n his assault on Doffy before it went south was exilerating n I want to see more such battling from him.
Its official law is my 2nd favorite op charecter its those historical war references, they r so awesome a concept they shld b done more in other media maybe(there is only one Oda anyways so they might not b as good).

You guys misinterpreted the quote. The phrase means that average writers just take things to the point where it's overused. In other words, their writing is cliche. Unoriginal. Great writers take from their inspiration and make it their own. Hence the word steal. It's a crude way of putting it which leads to misinterpretation. All the great writers have been inspired by something.
Why do you have to argue about a possible reference, guys (-__-). You don't have to be that sarcastic about it, it's good that there's the parallelism, just as how other mangaka does. Sometimes we need this kinda clarification in order to confirm that the specific moment doesn't copy other mangaka's work, which is becoming such a sensitive talk in regards to copyright, whatever.
Reference to history or real life is a bonus, and most mangas or stories in the world always use reference, especially on religions/philosophies/ideologies. Don't insult if a fan happens to found an interesting parallel between One Piece scenes/characters and reality.
OT: Nice find. A few others have noticed this too, it's good to know. Now i can tell 'them' that Oda isn't copying the outcome of Kishi's series for this one >_>
