Who is this man in the cover page of One Piece chapter 839?

Question

In the cover page of chapter 839 of One Piece, there's a man on large bounty poster that Luffy draw number 3 on his face.

It seems that all Mugiwara crew give some respect to this man, even Chopper looks like he's crying for him.

I don't think he is the character on One Piece, is this some kind of tribute from Oda to someone? So, who is he?

He is Kankichi Ryotsu. As stated on onepiece.wikia.com Luffy paints Kankichi Ryotsu's signature eyebrows on a giant wanted poster of the character as he and the Straw Hats commemorate the ending of the manga Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo.
