Summary
Jaguar D. Saul is a colossal giant who, unlike those from Elbaf, hails from a different origin. He joined the Marine forces at some point in his life, rising through the ranks to become a Vice Admiral. Prior to the main narrative, Saul traveled through the Grand Line, encountering numerous Devil Fruit users during his adventures, though specific details of his journeys remain unmentioned. Personality-wise, Saul embodies the archetype of a gentle, shy, and timid giant. Although loyal to the Marines, he demonstrated a conflict with their strict code of 'Absolute Justice' by questioning orders on at least two occasions, prioritizing his own sense of 'Moral Justice'. He possesses a distinctive and awkward laugh, described as "Dereshishishishi," which he finds somewhat embarrassing. Saul deeply values joy and laughter, actively encouraging Nico Robin to laugh and find happiness. Saul played a pivotal role in shaping Nico Robin’s worldview. He wore a cowboy hat that Robin would later adopt, and his insistence that she should laugh even in the face of pain explains why she maintains a smile during difficult times. His middle name, D., is the source of Robin’s knowledge regarding the Will of D, a concept she later explains to Luffy as the reason for his resolve to fight. Saul shared a close friendship with Vice Admiral Kuzan, who would later become Admiral Aokiji. Both men adhered to the principles of 'Moral Justice'. This bond was significant enough that Kuzan’s decision to spare Robin’s life is widely believed to have been a final favor to Saul.
