@playa4321 So Apoo is based on this guy:....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chui_A-poo
In September 1849, his fleet, which was based in
Bias Bay east of
Hong Kong, was
defeated by
British and Chinese warships.
[5] More than 400 pirates were killed and Chui was seriously wounded. Although he managed initially to escape,
he was betrayed by his own crew and handed over to the British authorities. He was wanted with a bounty of
£500
[6] for the murder of two British officers
[7] His punishment was lifelong exile to
Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania), but he hanged himself in his cell before it could be carried out.

I'm still looking for the theory but this might be of interest to you? Maybe help you remember the theory too possibly? If I find it though, I'll let you know ofc!
