Inter-species Relationships
The Longarm Tribe are valued as slaves by normal humans considering the standard price for a Longarm Tribe member is 700,000.

History
Apparently they are the ones responsible for destroying the country Harahetternia on Namakura Island. The cultists of Namakura Island were in the middle of trying to summon Satan, wanting him to help them destroy the Longarm Tribe. However, due to Bartholomew Kuma, Brook landed right in the middle of the summoning. Believing him to be Satan, the people of Namakura Island wanted him to help them get revenge on the Longarm Tribe. Three members of the Longarm tribe then proceeded to kidnap Brook to put him on display as the world's only moving skeleton. Two years later, the three longarms who kidnapped Brook all became his managers when he became a famous rockstar known as "Soul King". However, upon learning that Brook is a pirate, and that he plans to retire after one final concert in order to rejoin the Straw Hats, the three called the Marines to turn him in, but the Marines were prevented by the fans from arresting Brook so that he could perform his last song. They were very furious when Brook made his escape with the help of the Rosy Life Riders. Brook's swordcane "Soul Solid" was sharpened by the Longarm Tribe.
