However, a sharp change of attitude is display when Robin states she wanted to learn about the Void century. Robin explained she wanted to join in their reserach and tried her hardest to study so she could.

As robin runs away, another Archaeologist states Robin is following in her mother Olvia's path. The other day she was captured, her fate is already decided.

Robin finds a giant on the beach of Ohara. The giant wakes up and asks for water. Saul is then introduced. Saul asks if there is a town on the island, when Robin answers yes he states he wished he had landed on an abandoned island. Saul states he hurt his leg and might as well just sit there for a while, eventually building a raft to leave. He asks her if its the first time she has seen a giant and she answers "yes", he ensures her is not like those barbaric giants of Elbaf and there are gentler giant races.

He then asks her not to tell anyone about him. When she answers too quickly, he states a child can't hold that much responiblity but Robin states she is not inetrested in him anyway. Saul bursts out with "Dereshishishi" suddenly, which he later explains is his laugh. He introduces himself as Jaguar D. Saul.
