Saul debuted early in the series as one of the central figures and motivations of Robin's character development. At the time of his debut, he was actually a lieutenant general under the World Government and a very useful tool at their disposal. Especially since he was the one who captured Nico Olbia and her team to study them. The greatest crime, the Century of Void.
Saul is unique in that he is the first and only example of a giant in the series that is not part of the Elbaf, and even goes so far as to criticize them as barbaric. This eventually led him to realize that Olvia and her team's arrest was unjust and that the pursuit of knowledge should not lead to a death sentence, leading him to orchestrate their escape from their cells, as he knew it, and later his own escape as well. This made him a traitor in the eyes of the world government. This shows that, like his good friend Aokiji, he believed in moral justice rather than absolute justice.
After giving up his position, Saul happens to go to O'Hara and befriends the young Nico Robin. Over the next few days, they form a bond that Robin will cherish for the rest of her life, and she even remembers Saul as one of the three people who inspired her the most.

Saul's importance for the future
Impact of Saul's actions on the future
Although many believed Saul had been dead for over 800 chapters of the story, the Egghead arc surprised fans by revealing that he somehow survived the Ohara Incident after being frozen by Aokiji! It is currently unknown how this happened, but Saul played a large role in how Robin's story unfolded, as he became the world's leading authority on all knowledge of the Poneglyphs and the Void Century. Without Saul's influence on her life, she would not have become as important as she is now.
Moreover, in addition to having a huge impact on Robin's story, Saul may have the greatest impact on future research on the Void Century. This is because while the library at O'Hara's Tree of Knowledge was burning, scholars began throwing books into the lake at the foot of the tree in a final attempt to save everything they had been studying for years.
When times are tough, just smile!
Although this seemed like a desperate ruse at the time, Egghead revealed that all the books thrown into the lake survived. So, after Saul escaped and recovered everything that was left of the island, he teamed up with some Elbaf giants and went to the ruins of O'Hara to fish out all the knowledge that the scholars had thrown into the lake. It was significant because its surface was completely covered with books!
Therefore, because of Saul, the sacrifices those scholars made to continue knowledge of a lost world were not in vain! He made sure to go to the ruins of the island and collect all the books that the Ohara residents sacrificed their lives for, which will definitely be one of the biggest plot points of the Elbaf Arc. This is because Robin will likely gather even more information about the Void Century, providing answers to questions fans have been wondering for a long time!
