Every pirate tale needs its princess, but Netflix found one that even Eiichiro Oda personally vouched for. We already know how Charithra Chandran sailed into One Piece as Princess Nefertari Vivi after a blind audition. Viewers have talked about how she mastered Vivi's undercover alter ego, Miss Wednesday, and proved how she could navigate both royal grace and Baroque Works mischief with ease.

The new information here is newfound love for One Piece LEGO unboxing that could convince anyone that Alabasta princess has officially earned Straw Hat status as a certified One Piece brick enthusiast.

The Going Merry has officially found its happiest passenger, and it came carrying a box of LEGO bricks. In promotional videos shared across Netflix's One Piece social media, Charithra Chandran unboxed the franchise's new LEGO collection. The Princess Vivi actress was instantly charmed by the Tony Tony Chopper set, and her spot-on Chopper imitation made the reveal even sweeter.

"This is so clever," Charithra Chandran was hardly exaggerating after discovering Chopper's backpack, miniature medicine book, and hidden cherry blossom tucked inside the build. Her delighted reactions only grew louder with every reveal before she jokingly declared, "Somebody call a doctor. Wait, I am a doctor," perfectly channeling the adorable reindeer's spirit.

Netflix's One Piece social channels did more than showcase another collectible; they accidentally revealed a full-fledged Straw Hat superfan. Other promotional videos, which also include the main cast's unboxing videos, saw her get visibly excited at seeing her own character in LEGO form while admiring the piece's "fabulous" hair. Charithra Chandran approached every brick with the enthusiasm of a Straw Hat discovering Laugh Tale, leaving little doubt that Princess Vivi has become a certified One Piece LEGO enthusiast.

Her excitement screams lifelong pirate, but her first step into the Grand Line was anything but straightforward.

Not every Straw Hat begins the voyage chasing the One Piece. Charithra Chandran certainly did not. Before stepping into Princess Nefertari Vivi's royal shoes, the British actress knew nothing about Eiichiro Oda's sprawling pirate saga. Curiosity changed everything after she binge-watched Netflix's live-action first season, quickly turning casual viewing into genuine fandom.

That fresh perspective also became an unexpected advantage. Without years of anime or manga expectations weighing her down, Charithra Chandran approached her early auditions with creative freedom and instinct, eventually earning the dual role of Miss Wednesday and Princess Nefertari Vivi. Her joyful LEGO unboxing now feels like the natural next chapter of that voyage.
