Was Jaguar d Saul a Marine?

Answered

The answer

Chapter 396 · updated

Jaguar D. Saul was a Marine vice admiral. He served until the Ohara mission caused him to doubt orders. Saul argued that the scholars did not deserve death and that the mission was too tyrannical. He stated he followed his own sense of justice instead of the law. Olvia warned him he would never return to the military after helping her. Marines identified him as Vice Admiral Saul the deserter and fired on him. Saul shielded Robin and declared he no longer knew what justice meant. He lifted a warship while protecting her from the Buster Call. "I can't stay in da Marines wit dis doubt inside my chest." ch. 396, p. 14 "S'okay...
