Facepalm.

I figured out who Clover Ebi is based on.

His weapon is a bloody fish hook. A god damn fish hook. His last name "Ebi" means "shrimp"

Clover Ebi is based on Aesop's Fable "A Fisherman’s Good Luck".

A fisherman had been a long while at work without catching any thing, and so in great trouble and despair, he resolv’d to take up his tackle, and be gone: but in that very instant a great fish leapt into the boat, and by this providence he made a tolerable day on’t.

Moral: Patience, constancy, and perseverance, in an honest cause and duty, can never faile of a happy end, one way or other.
