Scratchman Apoo

Captain of the On Air Pirates, Headliner for Kaido

Being of the Longarm Tribe from the Grand Line, one of Apoo's distinguishing traits is his incredibly long arms. Each of these long arms possesses two elbow joints instead of just one, making them much longer than a normal person's.Apoo also has a rather broad chest cavity, which may aid him in producing deep and bellowing drum-like sounds. Apoo's lower jaw is also somewhat wider than the upper half of his face. His most distinguishing attributes are his unique physical characteristics and the objects adorned on him, all of which are music themed or related. His teeth have a unique look to them as they resemble piano keys.He wears a set of orange headphones with his name on either side over his ears and hairstyle where the hair on his scalp has been pulled tightly so that his roots resemble lightning patterns. The center portion of his hair resembled a triangle shape while the side strips were more straightened as opposed to appearing like lightning bolts, pulled up into a tight ponytail, his long ponytail having several bands to seperate it into balled up sections. Apoo wears a red gown with his crew's Jolly Roger at the center of a large flower-like print splayed across the chest area, as well as on his back. Apoo also has a yellow scarf around his waist. He also has what seems to be the design of a green rose sewed on front of his left shoulder.

Apoo is an eccentric, boisterous pirate with an affinity for music and parties. A disc jockey by nature, Apoo employs dancing and music playing in many of his mannerisms, acting like a stereotypical radio personality. Apoo seems to be a passive individual who would not seek to harm others without a good reason.Despite this, Apoo can be very curious at times, meaning he cannot deny himself an audience to an interesting battle should the opportunity present itself. When facing an opponent that is too strong for him, Apoo prefers to run away, although he enjoys provoking and taunting his enemies before leaving.Apoo is highly opportunistic, preferring to strike from a safe distance and through the element of surprise. Deceitful and treacherous, Apoo is smarter than he lets on.Shown to be very cunning and backstabbing, Apoo is willing to change sides on a whim with no loyalty to anyone other than himself, letting his targets fight against each other and take themselves out so he can step in at the end and finish off the last man standing.In spite of his usually outgoing and reckless character, Apoo can be rather cautious and distrustful of other people.

Has extreme acrobatic skills and jumping capabilities as well as incredibly durability. Incredibly deceptive and intelligent, able to outwit himself out of many situations. Apoo has shown extensive musical prowess to go along with his Devil Fruit ability, allowing him to play the various wildly different instruments he can transform into using his Devil Fruit abilities.

Apoo ate the Oto Oto no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to morph parts of his body into various musical instruments that he can play—e.g., his jaw into a cymbal or bulb horn, his chest into a drum, his teeth into piano keys, or his arm into a saxophone—and he refers to this as his "Tatakau Music". By playing specific notes and tunes using specific instruments, Apoo releases sound waves that, apart from seeming to have a hypnotic effect, can instantly deliver various forms of physical damage to anyone who hears them, depending on what instrument he plays. Apoo's attacks carry anywhere in hearing range and, as long as his music is heard by his chosen target, its effects are nigh-instant and unavoidable, unless the target cannot hear the sound.
