25 Scratchmen Apoo

After finishing their food, Nuke and his mates left the restaurant. Luna wants to do shopping while Nuke and others want to explore the Island.

"Reed, you stay with Lyn." Nuke said and left with Luna. This Island is filled with pirates, so there is a high possibility that a fight may break out, so he has to ensure the safety of his crew.

There were many shops in the city, where one can buy anything they want. Clothes, weapons, treasure maps... there was even auction which is going to take place.

The people in the Island explained the auction house is operated by some powerful organization. Every underworld organizations are powerful and they will have a variety of treasures in their storehouse.

Nuke is not interested in the Auction since only devil fruits may tempt him. Of course in Grand Line obtaining devil fruit is a miracle; Only in New World, many devils appear.

But he was forcibly grabbed by Luna as she was interested in the Auction since this is her first time hearing it.

The Auction House is large, filled with many peoples. Few peoples wore a hood, hat and others came with normal appearance.

Nuke and Luna entered the Auction House after paying a few Belly when Nuke and Luna entered many peoples noticed them.

"Are they?" A Man spoke in a silent voice.

"Yes, they are the terrifying Origin Star Pirates who got a bounty of 200 Million. What are they doing here?"

"Shh, do you want to kill us? Don't speak loud."

The Auction started by selling antiquity objects, weapons, etc. Luna soon lost the interest so they left the auction house and began to roam the Bone Island.

At the end of the day, they brought a Den Den mushi for the ship. Nuke suddenly saw a figure, a future supernova and one of the worst generation pirate, Scratchmen Apoo.

He was currently strolling the busy street with few of his subordinates.

"He should be a good candidate for a missing musician in our crew." Nuke spoke.

"Who?" Luna asked while Nuke pointed his finger at Appo. "He is a funny and strong man, with him our ship will become lively and no one would be bored."

"Then I will go and bring him"

"No, I already told you right, It's a captain's duty to invite a new member to the crew." Nuke spoke.

"Hmph...You and your pirate games." Luna snorted. Then both Nuke and Luna walked towards the Scrathcmen Apoo.

In the later one piece episodes, Apoo was seen working for Kaido so it won't be difficult to make him join his crew. Before absolute strength, he will surely like to join, like he joined Kaido.

"Oh..."Apoo also noticed the two figures walking towards him from the distance.

Apoo is from the Longarm Tribe of Grand Line, one of his distinguishing traits is his incredibly long arms.

He immediately noticed the two figures are the recent headline of the newspaper. A man and woman of Origin Star pirates with 200 and 180 Million bounties respectively.

"Scratchmen Apoo also known as 'Roar of the Sea', why don't you join my crew?" Nuke spoke with a smiling face.

"What?" Apoo was perplexed by the sudden change.

His Subordinates eyes turned red and they roared: "What nerve... Our Captain is someone with bounty more than 100million. Even if you have a higher bounty, you are not a match for our captain."

"Captain, let's teach this Kid a lesson who we really are?" Apoo's subordinates yelled and got ready to fight.

Nuke smilingly looked at the Apoo's crew and a terrifying will power broke out from his body, covering everyone around 100 meters within him.

Within seconds, everyone began to fall within the 100 meters range, apart from Nuke, Luna, and Apoo.

"What?... What happened?" Apoo looked around with bewildered expression.

"Shall we talk now? They were noisy so I just knocked them unconscious." Nuke spoke. Even though his control in Conqueror's haki is not perfect, just using it around a small distance won't be a problem.

Apoo was astonished by what happened since he didn't know much about haki.

"You are strong for a fellow rookie, but you are not strong enough to become my captain," Apoo spoke.

"How do you know that without fighting me?" Nuke laughingly asked.

"Why don't we test our strength? I will stay here without moving an Inch if you are able to injure me, I will take back my words; Otherwise, you have to join my crew." Nuke said.

"Really?" Apoo questioned, if Nuke stood before him without moving he has a countless way to kill him not to talk about injuring him.

"Of course." Nuke said. He knows he has to give Apoo a chance since he is a type of person 'when facing an opponent that's too strong for him, he runs away.'

It's not a cowardly act it's a tactic.

Apoo took a fighting stance and waved his hands in front of him like a DJ.

'Tatakau Music'

His body suddenly transformed into various musical instruments like his teeth became piano, and his arm turned into a saxophone.

Apoo began to play his music in DJ style while Nuke and Luna heard it. His music covered wide range but mostly concentrated around Nuke.

'It seems to have a hypnotic effect but it won't have any effect on me.' Nuke thought.

'Behead' Apoo suddenly released a musical sound wave which looked like a sharp sword. Even though Nuke could take the attack head on, he doesn't want to be careless so covered his whole body with armament haki.

'Slash'

Nuke heard a slash sound and sword energy sliced at his chest. It's not strong but it will be able to slightly injure him if he hasn't used haki.

'Don' Apoo cried.

'Boom!' A sound wave came near him and exploded. The explosion is little powerful, but it wasn't even able to scratch Nuke's Haki covered body.

Apoo was surprised when he saw his attack done no damage to Nuke. He began to try various attacks, but everything is only for Naught; Since he wasn't able to injure Nuke in the slightest.
