Sanjuan Wolf

Sanjuan Wolf is an enormous giant, known as "Colossal Battleship" for his size, and was originally one of the legendary criminals who was given a life sentence in Level 6 of Impel Down, as his crimes were so atrocious they had to effectively be erased from history itself. He was initially mentioned briefly by Emporio Ivankov.

He was eventually freed from prison by Marshall D. Teach, and since then has become a member of the Blackbeard Pirates. He is currently one of the Ten Titanic Captains, as the captain of the Seventh Ship of the Blackbeard Pirates.

Due to his actions and role, he is a supporting antagonist in the Marineford Arc, and a major antagonist in the Final Saga.

Appearance
Thanks at least in part to his Devil Fruit, Wolf is a giant of extraordinary size, as high at 180m at least, towering over even the largest beings known to date like Oars or Little Oars Jr., as well as being so big that he appears to be roughly the same size as the Marine Headquarters at Marineford. His true size, however, is still unknown. The shape of his head and the disposition of his brown beard resemble a chestnut, making his spiky, round and beige hair resemble a chestnut shell. His facial features include round eyes with dark lines around them, along with eyelash-like marks, similar to those found on Franky's face, that point downward. He wears his prison uniform from Impel Down and he is always barefoot.

After the timeskip, Wolf now wears clothing of a similar style to the Giants of Elbaf, lacking an upper body garment but wearing dark pants with a large, studded belt with a skull buckle, as well as a dark cape fastened over his right pectoral with a light medallion.

Personality
Although known for committing crimes that caused his existence to be erased from history, he seems to have a playful attitude, as seen when commenting that he was found when he was trying to hide behind Marine Headquarters. He is also quite shy, as he acts scared when people realize who he is and continued hiding while the rest of the crew fought Whitebeard. In fact, he was the only person there who did not fight in the war. He is also prone to complaining, as shown when the Blackbeard Pirates headed to the New World. Despite his complaining and lack of participation, he is shown to be very loyal to Blackbeard. He is shown to be a heavy sleeper as he napped in the daytime during a prison break in Hachinosu.

Blackbeard Pirates


After the Blackbeard Pirates sprung him from Impel Down, Wolf has been a devoted member and a major powerhouse of the crew ever since. He has been seen eating, drinking and generally having a good time with the crew. The Admiral of the Blackbeard Pirates Marshall D. Teach doesn’t care for Wolf’s bellyaching as seen when the crew was waiting for a new ship after their raft nearly broke in two. His fellow Titanic Captains Avalo Pizarro and Vasco Shot are hesitant to send Wolf to deal with certain problems fully aware of the destruction the world's largest giant is capable of.

Abilities and Powers
Wolf's abilities have not yet been shown, but he was powerful enough to be contained in Level 6 of Impel Down when caught by the World Government, where even Emporio Ivankov pointed him out as one of the most dangerous prisoners. Another testament to his power is the fact that when Blackbeard recruited the Level 6 prisoners, he was one of the people that survived the battle royale, making him one of the strongest prisoners. After the timeskip, has since become one of Blackbeard's "Ten Titanic Captains" that personally guard the Emperor, gaining great authority over their Seventh Ship and everyone on it.

As a giant, Wolf ages a lot slower than a human and has immense strength, though he was still defeated by Marine veteran Monkey D. Garp rather quickly. However, this could be becuase he was asleep at the time and was caught off guard.

Despite his tremendous size, he is considerably stealthy, able to somehow reach Marineford without being detected until he was right behind the Marine Headquarters building and made himself known.

Devil Fruit


Wolf ate the Deka Deka no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that makes him much bigger than normal giants. Despite being weak against water, he was tall enough to stand in the ocean, though Wolf did mention that doing so was exhausting to him, probably due to the Devil Fruit he had eaten.

Past
Wolf was born in the West Blue. At some time, he ate the Deka Deka no Mi which gave him the size he is known for. He became one of the most feared criminals in the world, and is noted to be the only known giant of his size, but was eventually caught by the World Government and sentenced to life in Impel Down, Level 6, where he was effectively erased from history.

Impel Down Arc
When Blackbeard and his crew came to Impel Down, he was liberated from his prison cell by them along with Catarina Devon, Vasco Shot, and Avalo Pizarro after fighting to the death in their own cells and emerging victorious. He and his fellow prisoners were then recruited into the Blackbeard Pirates and went to Marineford.

Marineford Arc


The Blackbeard Pirates arrived to the Summit War of Marineford. Wolf hid behind the Marine Headquarters, and was amused when the Marines spotted him and recognized him. Wolf did not participate in his crew's murdering of Whitebeard, and departed with them after Shanks arrived to end the war.

Post-War Arc
The Blackbeard Pirates went on to the New World, but thanks at least in part to Wolf, their log raft was damaged. They defeated Jewelry Bonney and her crew on a burning island, intending to trade Bonney to the Marines for a Marine battleship.



While they were waiting for the Marines to show up, Wolf stood in the ocean near the coast and complained about the heat, losing strength and being bitten by a fish, but Blackbeard told him to stop complaining. The Blackbeard Pirates then had to flee the island after spotting Admiral Akainu on the oncoming Marine battleship, knowing he would not make the deal with them and fighting him would be too much trouble.

During the Timeskip
One year after the war at Marineford, the Blackbeard Pirates fought against the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates and ultimately won. This victory combined with the fact that Teach had conquered most of Whitebeard's former territory, made the World Government officerly declared the Blackbeard Pirates an Emperor's crew.

At some point, the Blackbeard Pirates expanded, and Wolf became one of the Ten Titanic Captains, leading the seventh ship of the fleet. The Blackbeard Pirates used Teach's knowledge of Whitebeard's former territory to conquer it. With Blackbeard now an Emperor, the crew began hunting powerful Devil Fruit users so they could kill and steal their abilities. After a chance encounter with Kuzan, Wolf and several other Blackbeard Pirates were frozen by the former Marine Admiral. After Wolf and the others were thawed out, they all drank and laughed before Blackbeard managed to recruit Kuzan into the crew.

Thanks to the interference of Marine captain Koby during the Rocky Port Incident caused by Trafalgar Law, Teach defeated Ochoku and the Blackbeard Pirates managed to make the island Hachinosu their base of operations.

Zou Arc
The Blackbeard Pirates later attacked Baltigo, the Revolutionary Army's headquarters. Baltigo was destroyed by the time the Marines and Cipher Pol arrived, but the Revolutionary Army was able to escape. However, the Blackbeard Pirates fled after briefly clashing with Cipher Pol.

Egghead Arc


Sanjuan Wolf was later present on Hachinosu when the Marine forces, led by Garp and SWORD, attacked Hachinosu to rescue Koby who had been imprisoned on the island, though Sanjuan Wolf was sleeping while the attack happened. At one moment, he was thrown into the ocean by Garp. After he was rescued, he and the rest of the Blackbeard Pirates surrounded Garp as the Marine laid on the ground, being stabbed in the chest with an icicle by Kuzan.
