One Piece season 2 is finally here, and it's brought with it a 15-minute fight sequence.

The battle, which features in episode 3 of the new season, sees Roronoa Zoro go up against 100 Baroque Works agents, and, as it turns out, actor Mackenyu had only one day to learn the choreography.

"I got 6 hours to perfect that whole thing," Mackenyu revealed in an interview with blackfilmandtv. "We had 15 minutes of killing, and they gave me 6 hours. 'Mackenyu, you got six hours. Drill it in, memorize it, we're shooting tomorrow!' What would [you have] done, if it wasn't me?

"It was a challenge. I've never been so challenged in my life, given little time for a huge sequence," he continued. "But thankfully, with my skills, I was able to accomplish. It is super fun to watch. I'm so happy how it turned out. Koji Kawamoto, the stunt coordinator, did a great job. We actually watched it together and we gave each other high fives."

This isn't the only thing Mackenyu has recently revealed, either. In another interview, the actor shared that One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda has a "specific arc" he wants the live-action show to reach.

"He has a vision to where he wants to end,” Mackenyu shared. "Not end, but where he wants us to take the live-action to. And we all know about it. We all know where he wants to go up to. That hyped me up a lot. There's a specific arc he wants us to go up to."
