A Death in the Limelight: Difference between revisions

** In the Whole Cake Island arc, the Straw Hats venture to Whole Cake Island, the territory of Big Mom (one of the Four Emperors, the most powerful people in the New World portion of the Grand Line) to rescue Sanji. They are joined in this mission by a few of their Mink allies who were introduced in the Zou arc, one of them being the Jaguar Mink Pedro. After they they thwart Big Mom's plan and rescue Sanji, they attempt to escape Whole Cake Island only for Big Mom's lieutenant Perospero to immobilize their ship. AfterIn chapter 877 of the manga and episode 849 of the anime (entitled 'Before the Dawn - Pedro, the Captain of the Guardians'), we see a lengthy series of flashbacks involving Pedro's desire to help bring about a brighter new dawn for the world despite the fact that Big Mom has drained him of 50 years of his lifespan (his pirate group is called the 'Nox Pirates' for 'Before the Dawn', indicating Pedro knows he won't live to see the new dawn come to pass, but will do what he can to help bring it about in the little time he has left). In the present day as the episode concludes, Pedro makes a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to help the Straw Hats escape Whole Cake Island so they can bring about the new dawn.
