Saldeath works for the World Government as a Chief Guard at Impel Down, where he oversees a unit called the Blue Gorillas. Fans often note that his name is a play on words—in Japanese, it sounds like "Saru Desu" (猿です), which literally means "I'm a monkey," a joke that fits perfectly with his role managing a gorilla-themed security team.
