Officially, Apoo is a DJ, and he’ll go around to different parties and weddings to do his thing. One time he was invited to a church to play the piano and was never invited again. However, in his free time, he streams. He mostly plays My Singing Monsters, Just Dance, or Beat Saber VR, but he's always open to suggestions in the chat. He started writing his own music as well and has grown a pretty loyal following.
Bege still runs his Mafia business but is also the founder of one of the local shoe shops in the heart of the city. It's a nicer place that sells dress shoes and occasionally tuxedos. He always uses the place as an alibi or a cover-up to excuse his whereabouts whenever the cops come and question him and his boys.
Bonney owns and operates a small pizzeria located on the corner of the road. She hardly ever has any rude customers due to the place having a Waffle House type of reputation, girlie is always ready to throw down in the parking lot. And on the weekends, when her shop's not open, she'll go down to the local board game clubs and play Jenga with whoever's there.
X Drake joined the Military the second he got out of high school and never looked back. It always felt like the right decision for him, especially since his parents couldn't afford for him to go to college. Once he retired, however, he turned to zookeeping in the reptile exhibits. He loves his job and will go to Drake concerts whenever he has the money and time to go to one.
Urouge is the pastor at his church (and a regular at the clubs). Some are put off by him, whereas others find him to be comforting to confess to. He considers himself to be a man of the Lord, even if he frequents the cabaret clubs a tad too often.
Hawkins is, more often than not, operating his interior design business, but he does have a little voodoo shop on the side and will frequently read his tarot cards to people who walk in. He's also somewhat of a hit with the farmers as he makes them all scarecrows in August that help keep critters out of their crops.
Law is a traveling doctor who likes to help in areas that are in the midst of pandemics/epidemics. He always feels obligated to go to those places specifically. He always gives kids heart-shaped stickers whenever they've been treated by him. His reputation is very shrouded and some people consider him to be a modern grim reaper whenever he visits their country, blaming him for whatever illness that has spread.
Kid is an avid gun supporter and, as such, sells and makes them. He owns a shooting range and almost all of the Rage Rooms in the city. Whenever he's free, he and Kiler will go down to some of the nearby raves and party together.
Killer runs a pasta shop within Kid's shooting range. He's the one who usually deals with bad customers so that Kid doesn't get himself another lawsuit. He's also known for being the one to end all of the fights picked with Kid.
Blackbeard is one of those really cocky, know-it-all museum employees who make people feel dumb whenever they ask a question. He gambles a lot, has limited knowledge of most of the stuff in his exhibits, and probably deals crack cocaine with people in the alleyways.
How would Apoo act around his short, fem crush? I hope asking for Apoo is okay, I love this long arm man!!!
Ammmm gonna be honest I don't know/remember this guy super well but I gave it a go! Might have to rewatch a few episodes with him in to refresh my memory if I get anymore Apoo asks! Still, hope you enjoy and thanks for the ask!
Apoo with short female crush
. Tries to play it cool but fails miserably, he's a fucking dork.
. He thinks she is adorable. He's pretty tall and she's like, pocket sized to him.
. Perfect size to wrap up in his arms to cuddle with and whenever he thinks about that he turns an interesting shade of pink.
. Falls a little bit more in love if his tiny crush likes to play a big instrument. Like a double bass.
. Or a harp because they can get pretty big too and are super cool. Very soothing to listen to her play.
. He purposefully puts things he knows she will need up in high places so he can get them down for her.
. Always hanging out together, he thinks it's funny when people see them together due to their size difference.
. He tells awful jokes. Just... awful. Puns too (short puns included). His crush thinks he's hilarious which only encourages him more.
. Sometimes blushes at her giggles.
. He will tease his Crush about their size but if anyone else (crew included) does so he gets defensive.
. If she is musically inclined, he likes to duet with her.
Hello :) may we have some killer and apoo reaction to having a crush and apoo relationship and general headcanons please? Xx
Sure thing! ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)/I’ll start with the headcanons first, then reactions.
Apoo Headcanons:General:
While Apoo can play any instrument with his devil fruit, he can’t actually physically play one. Except the kazoo, and maybe the harmonica.
Hates sneakers/tennis shoes. Hence why you always see him wearing either sandals, or boots.
Is impressed with Brook and his musicality. Though he’d never say, or admit to any of it. Especially since he found out that Brook was a part of Luffy’s crew.
Relationship:
HUGE tease, and very blunt about it. Sometimes it even gets a tad cheesy.
Definitely would dedicate songs to his s/o, no matter how the song(s) may actually sound.
If he was being sweet, he’d sing to his s/o, though not in public. If he was singing to his s/o in public, it’d be the most obnoxious songs ever. Bonus if it’s stupidly/sickly cheesy. (Pour on the cheese and theatrics!)
Reaction(s) to having a crush:
Apoo:
He definitely wouldn’t be subtle. This music man doesn’t know the meaning of subtlety, let alone the word itself. He’d also be immensely inspired by his crush, and so would bombard them with it, constantly holding “concerts” for them. Obviously.
He’d also be a try-hard at attempting to impress them. What usually happens is that he ends up being a complete doofus. Example: He’d lean against a wall/door/frame/etc and be trying to “look cool”, but since he would be looking (staring more likely) at his crush, he wouldn’t see behind him. Thus causing him to flat out fall over. And since he’s a dramatic man himself, it’d be a dramatic fail. If asked about it, he’d stubbornly say that he was, “Falling with style!” (and he’d probably pose while he’s saying it.)
Killer:
This guy is the epitome of the word subtlety. He wouldn’t act differently around his crush, it’d be more of the little things. He’d be a bit tense whenever he was around them, and when talking to his crush his voice would rise ever so slightly. Very rarely would he stutter, and if he did, it’d be nearly unnoticeable. When he’s having trouble with Kidd, he’d definitely go to his crush for their suggestions. Partly because he really does need some help with Kidd, and partly as an excuse to talk to/spend some more time with his crush. He’d also talk to them a lot, probably the most out of everyone on the crew, aside from Kidd.
The only thing that would make his crush on a person obvious would be that he’d try to constantly be around them. It could be next to them, or in the same room, or even in the vicinity. But he’d be close.
