Igarappa is the disguised firearm carried by Igaram, captain of Arabasta's royal guard, during his stint as the Baroque Works agent Mr. 8. Built into a saxophone, the weapon spits a spray of bullets whenever its owner appears to play a tune.
Igarappa names both the instrument and the attack it produces. Igaram, who hid guns across his person as Mr. 8, relied on a saxophone that doubled as a scattergun, letting him open fire while seeming to perform music. The weapon shares its name with his signature move, and the term likely blends his own name with the Japanese word for a horn or trumpet. A second concealed firearm sat coiled in his elaborate hair, triggered by tugging his necktie. Zoro joked that the saxophone shotgun and the necktie guns together made Igaram resemble a toy action figure.
When Igaram blows into the saxophone, it unleashes a burst of projectiles like an oversized shotgun, the technique he calls Igarappa. A separate flourish, Igarappappa, exposes the gun barrels tucked among the curls of his hair: after yanking the strings of his necktie to reveal them, he pulls the loops to fire explosive rounds. Dub translations muddled the two names, with the 4Kids version mislabeling the saxophone blast as Igarappappa and the Odex release swapping the hair-gun move to Igarappa. The hidden, unassuming placement of these guns fit the deception theme he shared with his partner Miss Monday, whose nun habit masked her muscle.
Igaram wielded Igarappa at Whisky Peak, where he and the local Baroque Works agents tried to ambush the sleeping Straw Hats. He blasted attackers off their feet with the saxophone during the brawl against Zoro and twice fired it at the swordsman directly, later resorting to the hair-mounted Igarappappa once Mr. 9 restrained his target. Zoro cut him down before the explosive shot could land. The captain used the weapon purely in service of protecting Princess Vivi and their mission to expose Crocodile's organization.
