I wouldn't call it overexaminating.. But there is some really obvious parallels to Alice in the wondeland.. just pointing it out.

Oda is a king in parallels, like blackbeard is an old pirate tale, which real name was Edward Teach.. Oda makes a White beard calls him Edward, and BB Teach.. u see?? Parallels.. but not the exact same.. same thing here.
