Yep, Pedro got called the Nox Pirates for a reason that relates to the dawn of the world, which he was willing to die for. Even if it's not a reason you agree with, it would be pretty big to say that's not a reason at all.
agree but we must also talk about fate.
Fate is a big theme in one piece. As of now, we know that Luffy is the fated one supposedly, the chosen one. It seems that his fate cannot be stop by anyone. So let us ask the question about Pedro’s fate. Was he fated to do what he did or was he just a damn fool caught in the fate of Luffy?. Is fate a power that’s putting many pieces together over time so that the main piece Luffy, accomplishes his task?.
Maybe Pedro was a replaceable piece in fate’s manipulation. I tell you one thing and I must strongly emphasize it, Shishiliam was not gonna get caught in that crap. I know I’m bringing Shishilian too much into this and maybe I’m wrong but there’s a lesson to be learned here. Shishilian ain’t no fate’s Byatch.
