User:Kaido King of the Beasts/Draft Pages/Apoo's Devil Fruit

Apoo's Devil Fruit is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit which allows the user to transform parts of their body into musical instruments and use music-based attacks. It was eaten by Scratchmen Apoo.

Strengths and Weaknesses
By transforming their body parts into instruments (such as piano keys on teeth or turning their arm into a saxophone) and playing specific notes and tunes, the user can release music that causes damaging effects to their opponents, the type of damage being determined by what they play. The music seems to have hypnotic effects. Since the attacks come from invisible sound waves which travel at very quick speeds, it can be very difficult to recognize and dodge an attack. Even Admiral Kizaru, whose Devil Fruit power allows him to move at the speed of light, was caught off-guard by the fruit's attacks. The user can form instruments in seconds.

However, since Apoo played specific tunes for each attack, it is likely that the user must learn the correct form and concentrate in order to use the power properly. The length of time it takes to play the instruments puts the user at a disadvantage in close-quarters combat. Other than that, the user is also affected by the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage
Apoo uses the fruit's abilities in combat, which he refers to as Tatakau Music (戦う音楽（たたかうミュージック）). So far he has only been shown using it as a long-range attack to catch unsuspecting opponents from afar.

Techniques

 * Tatakau Music: Scratch Shan Don (戦う音楽（たたかう・ミュージック） スクラッチ・ 斬（シャーン）・爆（ドーン）): Apoo morphs his limbs into various instruments, and emits a dance-like musical number which he raps over. This was first seen being used against Admiral Kizaru.
 * Shan (斬（シャーン）): Apoo releases a sound wave that can slice his opponents. In the anime it is the sound of a cymbal. This was first seen being used against Admiral Kizaru. "Shan" is an onomatopoeia that symbolizes quick and silent sounds, like a slash. In the Viz Manga, this is called Scratch.
 * Don (爆（ドーン）): Apoo releases a sound wave that can cause an explosion near his enemy with devastating effects. In the anime, it was the sound of a drum. This was first seen being used against Admiral Kizaru. "Don" is a Japanese onomatopoeia that symbolizes a strong noise, like an explosion. In the Viz Manga, this is called Boom.
