On Air Pirates

The On Air Pirates are an infamous and notable rookie pirate crew discovered on the Sabaody Archipelago around the time the Straw Hat Pirates arrived two years ago.

Crewmates
The captain is one of the Eleven Supernovas. All confirmed crew members of the On Air Pirates bear a resemblance to their captain in regard to Chinese dress and theme, with all of them wearing the same style of Chinese gown as Apoo, though in different colors. One wears an oriental styled cap and a short Fu Manchu moustache while the other has his hair tied back in an (almost) oriental manner.

Crew Strength
It can be presumed that they are strong because of their captain's high bounty and the fact that they made it all the way to Sabaody Archipelago and the New World. Another example of their strength is that they were able to escape Kizaru's raid even though their captain was beaten by Kizaru.

Trivia

 * The term "on air" is normally the used for when a radio studio's microphone is activated and its listeners can hear the DJ speaking on the broadcast from the radio station. Scratchmen Apoo himself resembles a DJ both in appearance and fighting stance.
 * It is very ironic for the On Air Pirates to arrive on an island in the New World where they ended up running "on the air" to escape some giant boars.
 * The On Air Pirates are based on Pirate Radio stations, who broadcast banned rock music from anchored ships off the coast of Europe.
