DJ Gappa

DJ Gappa is a character that appeared in the sixth movie, Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island. He is a kappa-like member of the Red Arrows Pirates, as well as the conductor of the shooting contest.

Appearance
DJ Gappa is a short, shaggy green haired child with a turtle shell in his back, a turtle-like face, and webbed hands. He wears a chain necklace with a grey skull on it, and a yellow shirt with a white collar. Like the other people on the island, he has a plant on his head. He also has black headphones with a white hat.

Personality
Gappa appears to be happy-go-lucky and carefree, casually asking people to lend things to him. He is very loyal to Baron Omatsuri and trusts his judgement greatly. He is also prone to throwing childish tantrums.

He has a habit of say "-pu" at the end of sentences, a fact which he is quite sensitive about as he thought Usopp was making fun of him when he asked Gappa why he does it.

Abilities and Powers
Gappa is a highly proficient combatant. He uses plates which he peels off of his scalp as projectiles which can home in on their target, explode on impact and hover in mid-air. The plates are explosive, causing more damage. He can throw multiple plates at once, and, when many are concentrated on one opponent, they are deadly and create larger explosions. He can also rub on it to make scratch sounds, hence his name "DJ".

Gappa also uses the shell on his back as a skateboard and can skate around on it. This allows the pirate to move quickly and swiftly to follow and target his opponents with greater accuracy.

Past
Many years ago, Gappa joined the Red Arrows Pirates. They sailed on the Grand Line back when Gol D. Roger was still alive. At some point, there was a terrible storm that killed Gappa and the rest of the crew, leaving Omatsuri alone. Eventually, the lonely captain arrived on Omatsuri Island and met the Lily Carnation, which he used to revive Muchigoro and the rest of the crew. Since then, they have been attracting pirate crews to the island to

Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island
Gappa appeared resting in his shell when he was suddenly awakened by an angered Usopp. Usopp was shocked by Gappa and asked what and who he was, only for pirate to respond by demanding his cap. Usopp refused and commented on Gappa's peculiar habit to add "-pu" to the end of words. This enraged Gappa who said he couldn't forgive Usopp while he creepily stared at the pirate. He stole Usopp's hat and gave him to Omatsuri to sacrifice to the Lily Carnation. When Omatsuri announces the next game, the Straw Hat Pirates discovered that Gappa stole Usopp's cap. Sanji takes it off of him and threatens Gappa that if he hurt Usopp, he would have to pay.

Gappa, along with ninety-nine other snipers, began the Shooting Contest against the Straw Hat Pirates. Nami ran into the forest, Sanji ran into an abandoned building, and Zoro ran around, helplessly lost. They were all followed by the snipers and shot at. When the regular snipers failed to harm the three pirates, Gappa used his plates to target and home in on the three and defeated Nami and Sanji when the plates exploded.

Unlike the others, Zoro survived the attacks, greatly angered by the explosion and Gappa's lighthearted attitude. Tired of going easy on the Red Arrows Pirates, Zoro delivered several deathblows that, in most cases, would've left Zoro's opponent unconscious. Gappa, however, managed to survive, which shocked Zoro. Right as he was about to attack again, Zoro was shot in the back by one of Omatsuri's arrows. Omatsuri picked up the swordsman and approached Gappa, who asks how he survived the attacks unscathed. Instead of telling Gappa the truth about Lily Carnation, he said that it was Gappa's strength. He believed his captain and left, saying he was tired. As he said this, Gappa's skin became very shriveled and he soon collapsed dead.

Gappa was later revived, and was seen celebrating with a group of other crew members. After Lily Carnation's death, Gappa and the others were reverted back to plants.

When Omatsuri entered the afterlife, Gappa and the rest of the crew thanked the Baron for remembering his crew from the afterlife.
