Roger, Kozuki Oden, Thousand Sunny, Katakuri, Carrot, Jinbe, Big Mom Pirates, Brulee, Amande ### Summary Page 0: The chapter file opens with a Weekly Shonen Jump cover featuring One Piece art: Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and a large white rabbit in bright cover colors. It is not part of the chapter's story sequence, but it is relevant publication material attached to this release and signals the chapter's magazine presentation before the manga pages begin. Page 2: A color spread titled "ONE PIECE" shows the Straw Hats relaxing indoors in the climate color cover for the Whole Cake Island arc. The crew lounges around a warm room with fans, watermelon, towels, and summer clothes: Luffy laughs in the center, Nami sits forward with watermelon, Sanji kicks in playful chaos, Zoro stands to the side with a towel, Robin sits calmly, Chopper is near the floor, Brook is posed in the lower right, and the scene works as official visual extra material rather than plot. Page 3: The chapter begins on Pedro and Perospero, with the label "CHAPTER 878: MINK TRIBE, GUARDIANS CHIEF PEDRO." Pedro remembers the past after Big Mom stole fifty years from him. Big Mom tells him, "MAMA-MAMA... A TRUE MAN, I SEE..." and Pedro answers, "TRY AND SURVIVE THIS!" Big Mom replies, "LET'S GO WITH 50 YEARS..." In the present, Perospero stands on the candy-covered sea and says, "KUKUKU... WELL DONE, PERORIN." He asks, "HOW OLD ARE YOU NOW?" Pedro answers, "27." Perospero cruelly calculates, "WITH 50 YEARS OF YOUR LIFE TAKEN AWAY, YOU'VE NOW, IN EFFECT, LIVED 77 YEARS. HOW MANY YEARS DO YOU HAVE LEFT IN YOU, I WONDER?" Pedro chooses his death calmly: "I'LL MAKE SURE TO AT LEAST CHOOSE WHERE I DIE." He remembers the "NOX" in the "NOX PIRATES" while Perospero's chain closes with a "CLANK." Page 4: Pedro's memory turns to the meaning of his old crew's name. Someone asks, "DOES IT REFER TO THE NIGHT?" and another says, "THAT'S A PRETTY DEPRESSING NAME!" A translation note explains, "T/N: NOX = NIGHT IN LATIN." Pedro's captain rejects the despair behind the word: "I GUESS IT MEANS THAT THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS AN ENDLESS NIGHT." In another memory, he asks to follow Roger: "ROGER! LORD ODEN!! ALLOW ME TO ACCOMPANY YOU!" but Roger tells him, "BOY! YOU'VE GOTTA STAY ON STANDBY FOR NOW!" Pedro hears the news of Roger's death and cries, "PEDRO! THEY SAY... ROGER'S DEAD!" Pedro can only answer, "WHA-?!" The lesson that remains with him is spoken like a final inheritance: "MY TIME IS LIMITED! LISTEN UP, EVERYONE, SOONER OR LATER, GETS THEIR OWN TIME TO SHINE!" Pedro concludes, "IN OTHER WORDS, NOX, THE NIGHT, REALLY MEANS THIS:" Page 5: The memory completes Pedro's resolve: the word Nox means "THE DARK BEFORE THE DAWN." He reflects, "WELL, I COULDN'T ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE," and adds, "IF I CAN SERVE AS THE FOUNDATION FOR THE WORLD THAT THE MASTERS AWAIT, AND I SHOULD HAVE TIME ENOUGH TO DO JUST THAT." In the present, the explosion from his suicide attack blooms across the coast, swallowing the candy around the Sunny and the surrounding sea in a black cloud. The blast roars with "PEDRO!" as ships marked with numbers crowd the water nearby. Pedro's death is framed not as surrender, but as an intentional use of his remaining life to open a path toward the dawn he believes Luffy and the others may bring. Page 6: The Straw Hats and their enemies react to the blast. Katakuri stares and says, "NO WAY... BROTHER PEROS!" while Carrot screams, "PEDRO!" Luffy also cries, "PEDRO!" The explosion has done what Pedro intended: the candy binding the Sunny begins to liquefy and run down the hull. Chopper and Brook are no longer sealed in the same deadly coating, and someone shouts, "HIS CANDY'S MELTING AWAY!" Perospero is hurled and burned by the blast, groaning, "GGU HHH!" The page stays with the physical result of Pedro's choice: the trap that would have killed Chopper and Brook and stopped the Coup de Burst is breaking apart, but the cost is Pedro himself. Page 7: The Sunny surges free as the candy melts into the sea with a "SPLASH!" Perospero stares at the chaos and snaps, "WHAT CRAZY... PEDRO!" The Charlotte forces ask whether their commander survived: "LORD PEROS-PERO!" and "WAS HE BROUGHT DOWN WITH THE EXPLOSION?" Others call him "THE FIRST-BORN!" On the Sunny, Carrot cannot accept what happened. She screams, "PEDROOO!!" and tries to leap back, but Nami stops her: "NO, CARROT!" Brook and Chopper surface from the melting candy in panic, and Brook says, "BUHEHO! GAHGAH!" while Chopper cries, "BUWAAAH! I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA DIE!" Jinbe calls to them, "YOU GUYS!" The ship has been saved, but the crew has no time to mourn properly. Page 8: Nami understands exactly what Pedro bought them. Crying, she says, "HE SAVED US!" and explains, "UNTIL JUST NOW, THE CHANCE WE WOULD GET OU...
