In the cover page of chapter 839 of One Piece , there's a man on large bounty poster that Luffy draw number 3 on his face. It seems that all Mugiwara crew give some respect to this man, even Chopper looks like he's crying for him. I don't think he is the character on One Piece , is this some kind of tribute from Oda to someone? So, who is he?
