On November 15, 2024, the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight took place and was officially live-streamed by Netflix worldwide and One Piece Live-action actors also joined the fun. As the fight trended for almost a year, some big celebrities attended this event and joined the hype, alongside the fans who joined it through Netflix. However, some celebrities present might excite the Otaku fandom.
The X fan account of One Piece Live-action (@OPLAUPDATES) shared a video of the live-action actors who play Mihawk and Crocodile. They were present at the arena where this fight took place. The actors greeted each other and the latter even said one of the famous lines of his character. However, with their reunion, the fans seemed to be missing Buggy as these three made up the Cross Guild.

One Piece Live-Action actors meet at the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight
The One Piece Live-Action actors of Dracule Mihawk (Steven John Ward) and Crocodile (Joe Manganiello) were seen at the trending fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. Their video showed Steven greeting Joe as the latter replied by calling the former Mihawk.
The two then had a small conversation after which Steven bid farewell to Joe by saying "See you later Alligator" (as Joe plays the role of Crocodile). Their video ended with Joe Manganiello saying "Hisahiburidana, Mugiwara", a famous dialogue by Crocodile which he had said to Luffy in the Impel Down arc.
Reactions from the fandom
As expected, the majority of the fandom recognized the two leaders of the Cross Guild and missed the presence of the third leader (who is also the face of the Cross Guild), Buggy the Clown (played by Jeff Ward). Moreover, the fandom also took this opportunity to anticipate the performances of these live-action actors in One Piece Live-Action season 2.
Lastly, one fan pointed out the Cross Guild members that were present at the fight made up the total strength of Cross Guild. The reason for this might be that Buggy has yet to showcase his potential as one of the strongest pirates.
"Can’t belive they didn’t invite Buggy" a fan said.
"Cross Guild pulled up" another one said.

"He’s gonna kill the role" another fan claimed.
"The Cross Guild with its 100% potential" another fan said.
The reunion of the two One Piece Live-Action actors amused the fans who also went on to speculate whether the shooting of season 2 was over or not.
