Jaguar D. Saul

Jaguar d. Saul is a giant and former vice admiral who deserted the marines and happened to wash ashore on ohara.He was originally believed to have died while protecting a young nico robin from the buster call that destroyed ohara, having been frozen by fellow vice admiral kuzan 22 years ago. In reality, he survived, albeit covered in bandages, and went into hiding after collecting the books the scholars had saved from destruction and bringing them to elbaf. As a giant, saul is many times larger than a human. He has long, orange hair and a big beard that seems to connect around his entire face, which somewhat resembled a lion's mane.During his time as a vice admiral, saul wore a marine coat like all other higher-ranking marines. However, after his defection, he discarded it. When he crash-landed on ohara, he was wearing a black shirt and gray jeans that were a little tattered. Also, as a marine, he had worn the marine cap, but upon his defection he exchanged it for a cowboy's hat.While leading a group of elbaf giants in retrieving books from ohara, saul was noted to be wrapped in bandages.
 

Saul was a big and friendly giant who was somewhat shy and timid. While he was loyal to the marines, he questioned their orders at least twice, which shows that he followed moral justice over the code of absolute justice. In the end, it was this moral judgment that led him to betraying them, as saul could not see why the marines would need to slaughter an entire clan of mere archaeologists, who had no fighting chance against them. He also justified his choice of defending robin after seeing a former colleague destroy an entire ship of innocent citizens, who held no related crimes to the incident at hand.He saw the giants of elbaf to be somewhat barbaric, and did not follow their traditions of fighting to the death. Despite this, saul trusts them and would lead a group of elbaf giants to salvage the books that the scholars of ohara saved. Saul dedicated himself to protect ohara's knowledge, and trusted vegapunk enough to allow him to read the entire library.Saul was also characterized as having a unique, but awkward laugh (dereshishishishi). He enjoyed seeing others laugh and have fun, as shown when he encouraged robin to laugh. Like other "D's" before him, he was seen laughing before his apparent death.

 

As a former navy vice admiral, saul had command of the lower ranking subordinates, as well as leading a buster call along with four other vice admirals. However, his defection cost him these privileges.He had experienced the grand line and seen devil fruit users, so he was not surprised or scared by them at all. He even states that he was somewhat jealous of their incredible abilities. He also knew how to fish for nourishment and build rafts, showing basic survival skills.Being a giant, he possessed almost unbeatable strength, which was, in fact, greater than that of most giants. He could easily lift a buster call ship up out of the water to slam it back down and destroy it (a buster call ship's size was several times the size of a giant at the time). His durability was immense as well, brushing off explosions from direct cannonball hits. He was also capable of surviving being completely frozen over by then vice admiral kuzan.
