Longarm Tribe

Longarm Tribe (手長族, Tenaga-zoku) are a tribe of Humans in the One Piece world. They have not been explained deeply yet, but are mentioned in the list of slave prices Duval gives Sanji. They sell for 700,000 as slaves.



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.
