"Mountain Beard" Jarul is a giant and former co-captain of the Giant Warrior Pirates, alongside Jorul. Along with Jorul, he is known as a hero of the giants,[1] and after Jorul's death, Jarul is currently the oldest giant in the world.[2]
Jarul is a giant, thus being much larger than a normal human.
He wears a Viking helmet with curved horns, and his facial beard is so large that it covers most of his body, with its shape reminiscent of a mountain. He wears a dark feather coat.[1]
Sometime after Jorul's death, Jarul was stabbed through the forehead by a sword, all the way through, where his helmet is just protecting.[2]
Jarul deeply values militarism, as shown when he reminded the young giants on Elbaph that they were warriors above all else. While dedicated to militarism, Jarul is very open-minded as he readily accepted Carmel's claimed ideology in pacifism to engage in commerce instead of plundering. He strongly cherished camaraderie and beliefs, as he mourned the death of his lifelong comrade, Jorul, and noted that had he died a warrior's death, it would have been acceptable, hence could not forgive Charlotte Linlin for killing Jorul in a disgraceful manner. His strong respect for Carmel, however, led him to reluctantly spare the little girl's life and allowed them to leave.[5]
Like many other people, he has a unique laugh: "Bojajaja."[1]

History[]
Some time ago, Jarul and Jorul were the captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates, and the two fought alongside each other for three centuries.[5] However, they eventually left the crew and the title was passed on to Dorry and Brogy.
Sixty-three years before the present day, Jarul and Jorul went to Warland Village on Elbaph together in order to partake in a feast with the residents of Sheep's House before the Winter Solstice Festival. They commended Raideen on training Hajrudin to be a strong warrior. The feast then began, and the villagers partook in eating semla.[1]
On the seventh day of the 12-day fast, an incident occurred where Linlin devastated an Elbaph village due to her craving sickness and fatally injured Jorul, the giants were able to calm Linlin by giving her semla. After Linlin fell asleep, Jarul prepared to kill her but Carmel stood in his way, pleading the elder giant to spare her on the condition that she would leave Elbaph with Linlin. Jarul accepted Carmel's terms and angrily told her to leave.[5] He later visited the graves of Jorul and a few other giants.[6]
Final Saga[]
Elbaph Arc[]
Jarul remains alive in the present day,[7] and later visited his successors and their friends in a party honoring the Straw Hat Pirates.[2]
Trivia[]
Jarul's name may be based off of "Jarl," which is the name for Earl in Scandinavian languages, as well as a traditional male given name in the Scandinavian countries.
Jarul's favorite foods are the giant fish which can be found in the waters around Warland and rum.[4]
Jarul is the oldest known living giant at the age of 408, and one of the oldest living beings in the world aside from Zunesha who is over twice his age.
