“One Piece Film Gold” Movie Trailer With Epic Manga Style
For fans of Eichiro Oda's hit anime and manga One Piece, there are few more iconic scenes than Shanks entrusting his straw hat to Luffy. So the life-sized statue of the redheaded Emperor of the Sea at Shibuya's One Piece Mugiwara store that allows you to recreate the scene is a must for fans in Japan.
So when AKIHITO (@AkihitoAll), a member of "muscular performance group" ALL OUT (ALLOUT_smile)--who is no stranger to interesting photo opportunities--came across the statue, he couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a commemorative shot.
However, the fitness enthusiast and bodybuilder did so the only way they could--with a bit of a muscle twist.

The statue is intended mostly for kids, but that didn't stop AKIHITO from squeezing in to recreate the famous scene--only he did so by crouching in by flexing with a squat! As AKIHITO says, it almost looks like he's using Shanks as a weight to squat with. The creative take on the classic scene had many One Piece fans on Twitter in stitches, and is a good reminder to seek out the statue!
