One I can think of isn't really literature, but rather a place, being Water 7 being much like Venice Italy. Possibly the comparison of Usopp and the boy who cried wolf, as well as Jyabura and Sanji referencing Little Red Riding Hood as the wolf and the woodsman, Gaimon's treasure possibly being a reference to Treasure Island, as this famous treasure is said to be there but when its finally found the chests are empty, and Oars and all the other zombies possibly being a reference to Frankenstein, as they are all corpses being sewn together and Moriah then "creates" life within them. Oh and possibly the Kraken being a reference to the Giant Squid from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. However, I really would like to thank you for bringing this up. I do actually find this very interesting and now I'm gonna have to reread the entire series to find some more references!
