He probably did a lot of research on pirates since most of the characters are based of real pirates such as blackbeard being based off the real life pirate Edward Teach better known as blackbeard and gol.d Roger was based off Olivier Levasseur. So oda was probably referring to getting references from pirates from books and stuff
What do you mean, what were those reference materials? Books, obviously of a historical variety and probably focused on the histories of the British Empire and the other various nautical powers of the period.
The a book called “the robberies and murders of the most notorious pyrates” published in the late 1700 and its considered to be the holy grail of pirate info since its one of the few books that is debated to be written by an actual pirate
Edit: Now that I’m looking for famous pirates, I was curious why Luffy was specifically of South American decent. And I found this, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roche_Braziliano](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roche_Braziliano)
He said before that he was inspired by some viking cartoon or show which eventually became pirates
So prob read about Vinland saga or other historical fiction

Books about paleontology.

There is a nice book on pirates called the Mammoth book of pirates. It has all these amazing characters with crazy notorious deeds. Maybe
Mostly history like
Libertalia: The pirate Utopia
Heard somewhere that when one piece was doodles in his school books he was inspired by Vicky the Viking.

Maybe Rocks and Luffy are related?
Paleontology books for sure, considering how much we are learning about dinosaurs these last few chapters.
There should be a pirate island arc. Just like Tortuga in Pirates of the Caribbean, where all the pirates can come without being attacked.
He said before that he was inspired by some viking cartoon or show which eventually became pirates
So prob read about Vinland saga or other historical fiction
