## One Piece Chapter 878, pages 4-6: Mink Tribe, Guardians Chief Pedro - Chapter: 878 - Pages: 4-6 - Characters: Pedro, Gol D. Roger, Kozuki Oden, Luffy, Thousand Sunny, Katakuri, Charlotte Perospero, Carrot, Chopper, Brook ### Summary 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.
