In a recent interview with Sereriely at the Paris Fan Festival, Taz Skylar, the actor who played Sanji in One piece live-action series, revealed an anecdote involving creator Eiichiro Oda, where he personally designed a One piece tattoo for him.

During the interview Skylar recounted a dinner with Oda in Japan where he expressed his desire to get a One piece themed tattoo. However, he felt overwhelmed by the vast options in the universe.

It was then that Taz asked Oda if he could create something specific for the cast. To his delight, Oda kindly agreed and created a unique tattoo specifically for him and his castmates.

“When we went to dinner with Oda in Japan, I had been wanting to get a One Piece tattoo for a while. There are so many things to choose from that I was like, what's the big deal? Like, what's the one thing I want to get tattooed? So I asked him (ODA) if he could draw something specific for us and he drew something specifically for us to get.“

Detailing the drawing, he explained that each part of the figure's body represents a letter, collectively spelling One piece.

“He sent it to us a few weeks after we got back from Japan.,” he added.

In addition to the tattoo, Skylar shared another special moment involving Oda.

As a dedicated martial artist, Skylar was determined to earn his black belt before the live-action series premiered. To celebrate the milestone, he took his black belt to Oda's house, where the creator signed it on the day of the series' premiere.

“He signed for the black belt as well. So when we started the season, I was determined to have my black belt by the time the show aired. I got my black belt 4 days before the show aired, took it to his house and he signed it on the day of the show's release. It was a really cool experience.“
