In chronological order:
- Vegapunk identifies his time machine as the Flux Capacitor.
- And in Chapter 12, it's stated that Usopp read the term out of a book to Chopper once in the future past.
- The three members of Buggy’s crew that they pick up en route to Orange Town introduce themselves as Moe, Larry, and Shemp, collectively known as The Three Stooges. The author even lampshades it:Duncan: (A/N: Yes, yes I did just do that)
- Nami mentions Lord of the Flies once in Chapter 3.
- Luffy quotes The Charge of the Light Brigade in Chapter 4.Duncan: And yes, poetry was part of his training. Don’t ask why, you’re not ready.
- After falling down a pit that Usopp made as a booby trap, Moe quotes Lockhart from the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets:Moe: Really quite filthy down here.
- Usopp debuts much in the same way as Oz, the great and terrible.
- Usopp and Kaya, who have become a couple in this fic, refer to each other as Gatsby and Daisy.
- Kaya is once described as ‘unconsciously channeling the best healer of Soul Society.’
- A Shout-Out to the 4Kids dub when Sanji sucks on lollipops instead of smoking while in the vicinity of the recovering Zoro.
- The Black Cat Pirates.
- Kuro references himself from the 4Kids dub of the video game One Piece Grand Battle.
- One is a short ginger-haired man named Oliver.
- Abraham, Giuseppe, Casey, O’Malley, Toulouse, and Berlioz are all taken from The Aristocats.
- Jiji comes from Kiki's Delivery Service.
- Salem comes from Sabrina the Teenage Witch. One of the other crewmates even calls him by that cat's surname, Saberhagen.
- Calling Gaimon Gai-sensei gives him the strange urge to style his eyebrow and start shouting about youth.
- When Nami tells Sanji to show Nezumi her displeasure at trying to take her loot, he simply nods and responds with "As you wish." (a reference to The Princess Bride.)
- Another one given to The Wizard of Oz in Chapter 8, though much briefer.
- The other staff of the Syrup Village mansion are the staff from Beauty and the Beast.
- The Veggie Trio quotes The Borg’s iconic “Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.”
- Due to the Shock and Awe with which Nami defeats Arlong, her epithet is changed to “Lightning Thief. “
- Luffy's freakout when he realizes a furious and vengeful Garp is in Loguetown ends with "DESTROY US ALL! DESTROY US ALL! DESTROY US ALL! DESTROY US ALL!"
- After some hard thinking about how to handle Garp, Luffy proclaims he has 12% of a plan. Zoro quips that it's better than 11%.
- When Cabaji remarks on how weird the armada is thus far and asks if it could get any weirder, Mohji replies that it could if they got an amorphous white creature with ADD and OCD that was a powerful Reality Warper and annoying enough to make the sun grimace. This, as well as the sun morphing, winking to the audience, and morphing back afterwards, is a clear reference to Soul Eater.
- Alvida's description of herself after eating the Sube Sube no Mi comes directly from Shrek 2 after the eponymous ogre sees the result of him drinking the Happily Ever After potion.
- The most traditional sense of one in the Author's Notes at the start of the tenth chapter, praising the One Piece Self-Insert fic This Bites! as "Hands down the best SI I've ever read."
- This line from Usopp in Chapter 10: "By the time I'm done with you, every one of you will have more gadgets and gizmos than a billionaire vigilante with a flair for theatricality and some misplaced sense of self-righteousness."
- Perhaps unintentional, as it was muffled by distance, but when Usopp chastises the owner of a Queen Transponder Snail about neglecting the poor creature, said owner's speech is about as coherent as any given adult in the Peanuts series.
- After Zoro wins his "fight" with Tashigi by disarming her with a knife hand:
- Luffy compares Smoker to Javert.
- In Chapter 12, the narration refers to Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday as a male Jessie and female James, sans Meowth.
- The antics and species of some of Gaimon's menagerie reflect the antics of the denizens of the Hundred-Acre Wood. A Sneeze Cut shows them all sneezing in another dimension.
