Saint Jalmack is a noble from the manga ONE PIECE. He is a member of the Celestial Dragons, known for visiting the Goa Kingdom twelve years before the main story. On November 9, during his visit, he attacked Sabo—a future important character—by sinking his small boat just because it passed in front of his own ship while flying a pirate flag. Even when told there was a child on board, Saint Jalmack insisted that anyone who raises a pirate flag is a pirate, no matter who they are. He is seen as more logical compared to other Celestial Dragons, as he listens to his guards without losing his temper. However, he still shares the same cold attitude toward common people. Some readers think this action is understandable in his world, comparing it to a leader’s car being approached by an enemy flag. He wears a clear, plastic-looking outfit because the area he visits cannot use bubbles like other Celestial Dragons do. His birthday is November 9.
Saint Jalmack wears a clear, square piece that looks like plastic, covering his body.
This is different from the bubble suits usually worn by Celestial Dragons because he is not in a place where bubbles work.
Saint Jalmack is cold and strict, especially toward common people.
He believes that anyone who flies a pirate flag is a pirate and deserves to be treated like one.
Even when a guard tells him a child is onboard, he refuses to change his mind.
Compared to the other Celestial Dragons, he is more logical and calm since he listens to his guards and does not immediately get angry.
But, he is still very uncaring.
Saint Jalmack is a member of the Celestial Dragons.
He visited Goa Kingdom twelve years before the main story of ONE PIECE, as part of a government inspection group.

"If you raise a pirate flag, you are a pirate no matter who you are."
The Event 12 Years Ago
Twelve years before the main story, Saint Jalmack visited the Goa Kingdom as a Celestial Dragon.
On November 9, while his ship was traveling, he saw a small boat with Sabo on board pass in front of his ship.
Even though Sabo was just a child and trying to escape his bad home, Saint Jalmack fired on the boat without mercy.
His guards saw the child and warned him, “There is a child onboard!”
But Saint Jalmack answered that anyone with a pirate flag is a pirate, no matter who they are.
He saw Sabo’s action as dangerous, almost like a real-life terrorist waving an enemy flag near a king or president’s car.
So, he thought sinking the boat was the right thing to do.
Some fans also say that in the world of ONE PIECE, there are children strong enough to be real threats, so Saint Jalmack’s action may be logical for him.
Others notice that Sabo did not even attack; he just wanted to sail away, but Saint Jalmack refused to forgive his “crime.”
Saint Jalmack is one of the few Celestial Dragons shown actually working as part of a World Government inspection group.
His calm and logical behavior is rare for a Celestial Dragon, as most are more cruel or unreasonable.
He does not use the normal bubble suit because bubbles do not work in the area he visited, so he uses a clear, square covering instead.
His true feeling may be that he just could not stand a commoner crossing in front of his grand ship.
Saint Jalmack’s actions are sometimes compared to what would happen if someone approached a king or president’s car with an enemy flag in our world—police might act without warning, no matter who it is.
In the world of ONE PIECE, even children can be very dangerous, so security is always strict.
The guard who suggested sparing the child was actually risking his life by disagreeing with a Celestial Dragon.
