In ONE PIECE Chapter 1114, we saw Saul laughing while listening to Vegapunk’s message. It was clear that Saul understood that this broadcast meant Vegapunk had died. So, what was the reason for his laughter? In this article, I’ll be discussing that in detail!
A Relationship of Comrades and Friends?
Saul laughed with a “Dereshishi” while listening to Vegapunk’s message. Given that the message itself confirmed Vegapunk’s death, as stated by Vegapunk in the video, Saul must have known that Vegapunk had passed away. While the nature of their relationship hasn’t been fully explained, it’s likely that it will be revealed in the next arc, presumably the Elbaf arc.
After the Ohara incident, Vegapunk visited Ohara to pay respects to Dr. Clover and witnessed the giants retrieving the precious documents that the archaeologists had protected with their lives. Later, he secretly traveled to Elbaf and was allowed to study those documents. Saul, who managed these documents, likely worked together with Vegapunk in their research. Given their collaboration, they probably shared the knowledge they uncovered.
One reason Saul might have laughed while hearing Vegapunk’s message is the satisfaction of knowing that Vegapunk finally shared their research with the world—likely thinking, “That Vegapunk, he did it!” Since Vegapunk’s reputation and social standing would lend more credibility to their shared findings than if Saul had presented them, it was more effective for Vegapunk to be the one to reveal them.
Moreover, since Saul is a fugitive hiding in Elbaf, Vegapunk probably didn’t want to put him in the public eye. It seems that the two were comrades carrying on Ohara’s will and also friends. From the moment they decided to delve into the forbidden research of the Void Century, they were likely prepared for the consequences, making them partners bound by a shared fate.
For Saul, losing his “sworn friend” Vegapunk would naturally bring sadness, yet there was also a sense of satisfaction, wasn’t there?
