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 http://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.
