Robin and Saul’s Reunion | The Circumstances of Saul’s Hideout in Elbaf
In ONE PIECE Chapter 1123, it appears that after successfully escaping from Egghead, Luffy and the crew are now setting sail for Elbaf, where Saul has been hiding…
In this article, I’ll explore what this could mean for Robin and Saul’s reunion!
Robin’s Current State of Mind
During Vegapunk’s broadcast, we caught a glimpse of Saul, who still seems to be hiding in Elbaf. Saul is not just a major benefactor to Robin but is someone she likely views with a fatherly affection.
Robin was left in the care of her uncle’s family while her parents joined the research expedition when she was too young to remember them clearly. Unfortunately, she was treated more like a slave than a family member. With no warmth from her parents or relatives, Robin found solace with Professor Clover and the archaeologists of Ohara.
During the ominous events leading up to the Buster Call on Ohara, Robin met Saul and formed a friendship with him…
During the Buster Call, Saul tried to protect Robin by standing up to Aokiji Kuzan, but was ultimately defeated. In his final moments, Saul spoke to Robin with words that were more fatherly than friendly…
These words sustained Robin through her subsequent dark and difficult life, leading her to eventually find the best companions she could have wished for, just as Saul had hoped.
Without her meeting with Saul, Robin likely wouldn’t be alive today, nor would she have ever met Luffy and the others…
In the Wano Country Arc, when Robin was shown visions by Black Maria, it was notable that alongside her mother Olvia and Professor Clover, Saul was also present as someone Robin holds dear. This strongly suggests that Saul is the third “parent” figure in Robin’s life…
However, Robin believed Saul had died until Vegapunk Shaka told her that the giants of Elbaf had retrieved the books from Ohara. Shaka didn’t explicitly confirm that the person hiding in Elbaf was Saul, but Robin seems confident that it’s him. So, now that their next destination is Elbaf, Robin is likely filled with joy at the thought of reuniting with Saul…
However, being the highly intelligent person she is, Robin must also remember Saul’s words about not wanting to be associated with the violent giants of Elbaf, and she must be curious about how he survived the Buster Call’s devastation of Ohara…
While these questions will likely be answered once they meet, it’s something that we, as readers, are also eager to know. How did Saul come to hide in Elbaf?
