When Portgas D. Ace was to be executed at Marineford, Julius and his crew joined forces with the Whitebeard Pirates to save him.
His first appearance is after Whitebeard’s death, when Blackbeard had stolen the Gura Gura no Mi’s powers. He is later seen when Law and his crew escape from Marineford with Luffy and Jinbe suffering the combined Admiral’s attack, hoping they survived.
At the end of the war, the Red Hair Pirates arrived and Sengoku allowed the surviving pirates to leave.
Post-War Arc
He, along with the rest of the crew, attended Whitebeard’s and Ace’s funeral on an undisclosed island somewhere in the New World.

Trivia
- Two characters that are highly similar to Julius’ concept art can be seen in the manga. The first to appear possesses Julius’ distinctive double cannons on his shoulders, his outfit, and his bushy mustache, as evident from the concept art. The second appears in both the manga and anime; and likewise, also possesses the shoulder cannons and the outfit, but lacks the mustache. In terms of similarity to the concept art, the first appearance of Julius is almost exactly the same. Therefore, there is a possibility that the second Julius may be a design error. However, as there is no way to determine with certainty, it is impossible to distinguish which is the real “Julius.”
- His name is a possible reference to Julius Caesar from Ancient Rome, like Caesar Clown.
