Scratchmen Apoo is a member of this tribe and according to his appearance the reason why they are called this is because their arms are lengthened by the fact they are double elbowed. Apparently they are the ones responsible for destroying the country of Harahetternia of Namakura Island. The cultists of Namakura Island were in the middle of a summoning of Satan, wanting him to help destroy the Longarm Tribe. However, due to Kuma, Brook landed right in the middle of the summoning. Believing him to be Satan, the people of Namakura Island want him to help them get revenge on the Longarm Tribe.
