On Set with the Straw Hat Pirates: Behind the Scenes

Sanji:
leaning back in his chair, sighing dramatically
"You know, I'm actually a really suave guy. All this acting like a fool? It's utterly humiliating. But hey, the things I do for art..."

Sanji adjusts his tie, looking every bit the gentleman he is in real life.

Interviewer:
"Is that why you learned to cook when you found out you were going to play sanji?"

Sanji:
"Well, you see, I couldn't stand the idea of claiming food that someone else cooked—even on TV! So, I figured, why not learn to cook for real? Plus, it's a great way to impress the ladies."

The Bond Between Zeff and Sanji

Zeff, standing off to the side, watches Sanji with a soft expression.

Zeff:
with a sigh
"As his real-life dad, I feel terrible every time I have to act violent towards him. The kid's just too good. But when the cameras roll, I have to channel my inner Gordon Ramsay."

Zeff chuckles, shaking his head.

Interviewer:
"That must be tough!"

Zeff:
"Yeah, but it's all worth it when we nail the scene... even if I feel horrible for hours afterward."

Fullbody's Redemption

Fullbody walks up to Y/N, looking sheepish.

Fullbody:
"Oh gosh y/n! I'm like- so sorry that I touched you like that! I feel so bad!."

He bows at a ninety degree angle multiple times.

Fullbody:
"I'm really, really sorry!"

Y/N tries to pull him up, laughing awkwardly.

Y/N:
"Fullbody, it's okay! It's just acting!"

Fullbody:
"But still! I feel like a straight gross pervert!!"

Ghin's Secret Crush

Ghin, usually so intimidating on screen, is standing awkwardly nearby, fidgeting.

Ghin:
mumbling
"Uh, Y/N, do you... maybe want to grab coffee sometime?"

Y/N looks up, surprised.

Y/N:
"Sure, Ghin! That sounds great."

Ghin blushes and quickly walks away, bumping into a wall as he goes.

Director:
"CUT! Ghin, get off the set!!"

The Scene That Never Was

On set, Zeff stands with his arms crossed.

Director:
"So, Zeff, in this scene, you're going to hit y/n on the head and knock her out."

Zeff:
frowning
"Yeah, about that... I'm not hitting Y/N. Not happening. Sanji is one thing. But y/n?! no."

Director:
"But it's in the script! It's just acting!"

Zeff:
"Nope. We'll have to figure out something else."

The director sighs, turning to the crew.

Director:
"Alright, cut the scene. We'll work around it."

The CGI Magic of Y/N's Trident

Y/N holds up a green wooden trident, looking unimpressed.

Y/N:
"Yep, this is my weapon—a green stick. Bill, our CGI wizard, makes it look cool on screen. Seriously, he's a miracle worker. It even looks like it comes out of my bangle!"

She twirls the prop lazily.

Y/N:
"I mean, it's not much to look at now, but just wait until Bill's done with it."

Y/N: The Real-Life Action Star

Interviewer:
"So, Y/N, is it true you do all your own stunts?"

Y/N:
grinning
"Yep! I've got black belts in capoeira and karate, and I compete in gymnastics. So when it comes to fight scenes, I'm ready to throw down. No stunt doubles needed."

She does a quick backflip for emphasis.

Interviewer:
"That's quite impressive!"

Y/N:
"Thanks! It's a lot of fun, honestly. Plus, I get to kick Mihawk's butt."

Mihawk and Y/N's Unscripted Duel

On set, Mihawk and Y/N stand facing each other, swords drawn.

Director:
"Okay, so instead of scripting this fight, we're just going to let you two go at it and see what happens." *whispering* "because our scriptwriter insists that she cant write battle scenes for shit" (it's true, i can't. I just tell my baby cousins the base scenario and they use their dolls to go crazy)

Mihawk smirks, raising an eyebrow.

Mihawk:
"Sounds good to me."

Y/N grins back, ready to spar.

Director:
"Action!"

The two launch into a fierce duel, exchanging blows and quips. After a while, the director calls cut.

Director:
"Great, now we'll write the script based on that. Fantastic job, both of you!"

Ghin's Departure Scene

The cast is gathered on the dock, trying to get into position for Ghin's departure.

Director:
"Okay, everyone on the boat!"

The cast tries to climb on, but it's chaos—people bump into each other, trip, and someone even falls into the water.

Director:
"Cut! Let's try that again!"

After several attempts, they finally manage to get everyone on the boat.

Director:
"Alright, perfect! Let's keep this one."

The cast cheers, finally managing to nail the shot.
