History
Kalens arrested Xia Le after the young man offended a Celestial Dragon. Although Kalens believed Xia Le was not at fault, he ordered his execution, fearing that the Celestial Dragons would demand Kalens’s own death if he failed. When gunfire and a blade failed to kill Xia Le, Kalens took him to the base in Seastone shackles and ordered further tests using fire, seawater, poison gas, and cannons 1.
Vice Admiral Garp, who had once taught Kalens, condemned his deference to the Celestial Dragons. After Xia Le awakened Conqueror’s Haki during the execution attempts, Garp struck Kalens and took Xia Le under his protection. Kalens objected that doing so would offend the Celestial Dragons, but Xia Le knocked him unconscious with Haki 2 3.
Marine Headquarters later issued a warrant for Kalens and 32 of his subordinates, citing crimes including embezzlement, bribery, and the murder of civilians. Xia Le returned to Kalens’s Area 65 base with authority to arrest them and to use lethal force if they resisted. Kalens protested that he had received no notice of the warrant; Xia Le treated his response as resistance, attacked him, and killed him by driving his head into the ground. Xia Le then ordered his officers to report that Kalens’s group had attacked them during the arrest 27 28.
Personality
Kalens privately resented the Celestial Dragons’ demands but complied with them to protect himself. He believed his Sabaody assignment left him little choice, an explanation Garp rejected as a failure of Marine integrity. Kalens also expressed a wish to transfer and hunt pirates under Garp, who told him that his personality made him unfit to serve on Garp’s crew 1 2.
Relationships
- Xia Le — Kalens arrested him and directed repeated attempts to execute him. Xia Le later returned with a Headquarters warrant and killed him 1 2 27 28.
- Garp — Kalens’s former teacher. Garp despised his submission to the Celestial Dragons, rebuked him, and took Xia Le away from his custody 2 3.

“I don't have a choice, Vice Admiral Garp. Stationed somewhere like the Sabaody Archipelago, there are things I simply can't do anything about.” 2
