Whole Cake Island — his sacrifice invoked by Pekoms (Ch. 896) — referenced, not shown

• A closing flashback montage (pp. 3-5): at 27 he surrendered fifty years of his life to Big Mom under Tamago’s eye (“Fifty years it is… that makes you 77 years old”); he named his crew the Nox Pirates (“night,” because every night ends in a sunrise) and reveres Roger and Lord Oden (“Roger, Lord Oden! I will join you!!!”), wanting to “lay the foundation for the dawning of the world… the moment before the dawn.”
• The self-detonation plays out on-page as the full-page FWOOOM blast (p. 5), engulfing eldest son Perospero and the candy wall to blow open the Sunny’s escape gap. The crew mourns (“PEDROOO!!!”) and refuses to waste his sacrifice. See Pedro Returns To The Site Of His Defeat, Pedro’s New Dawn Prophecy for the Straw Hats, Nox Pirates’ Name Encodes The Dawn Motif.

Whole Cake Island (Ch. 877) — the death

See Pedro’s New Dawn Prophecy for the Straw Hats, Joy Boy Identity.
• Straps explosives to himself, faces Perospero (“This should be sufficient to undo all of your magic… SO LONG!!”), and self-detonates point-blank — “I had a feeling this would be… my final voyage” (p. 16). Massive explosion (p. 17). His actual death. Carrot screams “PEDROOO!!!”.

Whole Cake Island (Ch. 864) — clashes with Oven; the “change the future” counter

See Pedro Returns To The Site Of His Defeat, Big Mom Steals Lifespan As Payment Treat Or Life.

Whole Cake Island — the treasure-room heist; runs the decoy (Ch. 848)

• Partners with Brook on the treasure-room heist: his explosive, fast-moving raider is a decoy (“Yours is a decoy!! Pedro, you conniver!”) that thins the guards and draws Baron Tamago / General Smoothie’s pursuit while Brook reaches the Chambre de Treasure (pp. 8-12); Brook praises the gambit (“Brilliant work, Pedro!!”).

Whole Cake Island — infiltrates the Chateau; intercepted by Tamago (Ch. 847)

Whole Cake Island — backstory revealed; stakes his life as decoy (Ch. 846)

Whole Cake Island — referenced; wanted-poster correction (Ch. 834)

• The Big Mom side has a wanted poster of him as a “Leopard Mink”; corrected on-page to a jaguar named Pedro (p. 8). Baron Tamago says they “have a past.” See Pedro’s Hidden History in Totto Land.

Whole Cake Island (Ch. 828)

• Among the Sanji-retrieval team meeting Charlotte Pudding in Chocolat Town; growls/menaces her, then argues she’ll report them and they should tie her up — the hard-nosed pragmatist of the group (pp. 3, 7).

Whole Cake Island (Ch. 827)

• Accompanies the team ashore in Chocolat Town. Baron Tamago recognizes him as “Captain Pedro” and greets him deferentially after years apart; Pedro deflects (“I’m sightseeing — don’t tell anyone”), promising the crew an explanation “later.” Seeds a hidden personal history within/against Big Mom’s territory. See Pedro’s Hidden History in Totto Land.

Zou (Ch. 816)

• Given a formal title card — “Leader of the Whale Forest Guardians (Jaguar Mink) — Treetop Pedro” (p. 12). Welcomes the Straw Hats to the Guardians’ Dwelling beneath the giant whale-shaped tree, apologizes for his subordinates treating them as intruders, and directs them that Bepo’s group (the Heart Pirates) awaits atop the trees. Calm, courteous, watchful. Species clarified — Jaguar Mink; aliases += “Treetop Pedro”.

Zou (Ch. 811)

• In Wanda’s flashback (~10 days earlier), appears as the survivors realize the poison gas has cleared Kurau City “thanks to [the humans’] odd magic” — Caesar’s Roko counteragent — and the explosives-wielding Tristan stands down (p. 11).

• First clear depiction — found near death amid the ruins by the Sunny group. Wary at first (“You’re not with… Themgara, are you?”), he introduces himself — “My name…is Pedro…!!” — then pleads with the Straw Hats to save Duke Dogstorm and the Cat Viper “before they die!!!” under any circumstances, and collapses (pp. 16–17).
