In the Twitter and Instagram accounts of the One Piece franchise, a special video of the drawing process of the author Eiichiro Oda was published for the color illustration that was presented in issue # 27 of the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine by the publisher Shueisha, published last week.

The video reveals that the original plan was for the illustration to have Luffy as the DJ, but during the discussion of the drafts, it was finally changed to Sanji.
The manga paused in its serialization in issue # 26 of the magazine on June 1, and resumed in issue # 27. Oda stated in May that because the manga is made entirely in analog form, the workplace is being accommodated to meet social distancing standards. The author commented that there is likely to be more pause in serialization because of this.
