A piece revealed the answer to one of its greatest mysteries, revealing several clues to the identity of the “man marked by the fire,” or “the man with the burn scar” (according to the English translation by Viz), who could be Jaguar D. Saul, the Giant who saved Nico Robin from the ravages of Ohara.
After Kaido and Big Mom’s defeat in Wano, these three captains who had achieved this impossible goal convened to discuss their next steps, including the location of the final Road Poneglyph needed to Find the hidden island Laugh Tale. In chapter #1056, Eustass Kid mentions that a “man marked by the fire”, which can also be translated as “man with the burn scar”, knows about the Poneglyph, but he refuses to say more about him. ta. In a later chapter, dr. Vegapunk reveals that Ohara’s precious library was actually saved by a group of Giants from Elbaf, their captains all wrapped in bandages. As the manga shows Vegapunk’s later visit to Elbaf to read and memorize all of Ohara’s books, it is revealed briefly that this Giant captain looks a lot like Saul, the Giant who saved Robin from Ohara’s destruction.
Kid’s arrival in Elbaf seems to prove that Saul was “The Man Marked by the Flame”
In chapter #1071 of One Piece, the theory that the man with the burn scar is actually Saul has been confirmed. After Luffy, Law, and Kid left Wano, they followed three separate paths. While the Straw Hats arrived at Vegapunk’s lab on Egghead Island, and Law was ambushed by the Blackbeard Pirates, Kid’s path led him straight to Elbaf. This is unlikely to be a coincidence. Kid was the only one to mention “the man marked by the flame”, and he even mocked Luffy for his ignorance on the subject. This means that the Kid Pirates’ arrival in Elbaf may have a deeper meaning, and that they are about to discover the location of the final Road Poneglyph before the others.
Unfortunately, the Kid Pirates were completely annihilated by Shanks before they could even set foot on Elbaf. Then, in chapter #1081, Saul’s theory takes another hit. According to a conversation between former admiral Aokiji and the Blackbeard Pirates, the man with the burn scar wasn’t on Elbaf, but was actually sailing on an all-black ship, sinking anyone who came. near in a giant tornado. Many have suggested that this is a hint that the man with the burn scar is Luffy’s father, Dragon, who piloted a black ship and may have weather-related Devil Fruit powers. However, nothing is evident in One Piece, and the theory of Saul still has its merits.
The Man With The Burn Scar Holds The Key To One Piece’s Last Treasure
When the Marines’ Buster Call burned Ohara, Saul was frozen by the power of former Admiral Aokiji. The heat of the fire must have thawed him, leaving scars all over his body, as shown by the bandages in Vegapunk’s flashbacks. In addition, if Saul really recovered the Ohara library, he would have learned many secrets about the mysterious past of the One Piece world and the Great Kingdom, the ancient civilization that created the Poneglyphs. It is clear that One Piece has entered the final story as the story has accelerated and things move much faster. The identity of the “man marked by the flame” will also be revealed much faster than expected, and then A piece fans will know if this mysterious character is really Saul, Dragon or Eiichiro Oda has another big surprise for them.
