Alvida: She is named after the real-life pirate Awilda, a woman who pretended to be a man in order to lead her crew and later became Queen of Denmark.[4]

Van Auger: John Auger was a pirate and was amongst many pardoned by a man called Woodes Rogers. However after being pardon of all his crimes he returned to piracy where he was hunted down by the former pirate turned pirate hunter Benjamin Hornigold. He was later hung.

Yorki/Shanks: It is arguable that Calico Jack's Jolly Roger, a skull and two swords crossed, is referenced by Red-Haired Shanks. His flag essentially is the same design with just 3 slashes added across the eye. However the similarities between the two pirates end there. The skull and swords design has also been popular in Oda's flag designs on a regular basis throughout the series.
A much closer and more obvious link comes from Yorki, whose nickname was "Calico Yorki".

Anne Bonny was a female Irish American pirate who plied her trade in the Caribbean. Jewelry Bonney's name is based on hers.
