People who had reason to know/care about Pell: Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Vivi, Crocodile, Robin, Chaka, Cobra, Igaram, Khoza. (13)
People who had reason to know/care about Pedro: Luffy, Nami, Sanji, Chopper, Brook, Jimbei, Carrot, BM, Perospero, Tamago, Pekoms. (11)
We got more mourning for Pedro in WCI than Pell got in Alabasta, despite Pell having more named characters who knew/cared about him and less extraneous characters who wouldn't be affected. So Pedro's death, again, by every possible metric, was more impactful to the story.
Why would it be weird? We're going to know about the dawn stuff eventually, and Pedro dying to protect those he identified as the bringers of the dawn sounds like a pretty big motivator. And you seriously don't think that Carrot is going to meet up with Inu and Wanda and tell them the bad news? We've got two weeks until the attack and that's an eternity in OP time. Why would Pedro's death go uncommented?
No it didn't. If Pedro is going to survive this, then there's no reason it had to do any permanent damage to Perospero. Pedro is much weaker than Perospero and was closer to the explosion than he was, so he's going to be much worse off than Perospero.
Only if you ignore all the deaths that have happened in real-time (Chapter 1 bandit, mr. 11, Duck Claw Squad, Ace, Whitebeard), and presume that every death that we haven't gotten confirmation on yet is alive (Monet, Vergo, Pound, Pedro). Don't you see how you are assuming that you are right in order to prove that you are right? That's a tautology, you can't do that, its extremely poor reasoning.
Except for Pedro himself saying that this was his final voyage. Even Jimbei with all his death-flags actually promised Luffy that he'd come back.
Sorry I'm on a phone so I will be doing listing instead of quoting individually.
1-dont know why would u list Crocodile and Robin, neither of then would give a poop about Pell, if villains counted, theres Big Mom and her gazillions children.
2-No, it would get weird only if it goes like Joker laughing off the lost of Vergo and Monet in half a panel, or uncommented, like Igram, for example I dont recall Vivi telling Cobra. when the author does stuff like that, those are strong signs of survival.
and yes, despite we all being two weeks from the real thing, Holdems beat up will put Jack on the move and as of now, neither Wanda or Inu are close to Carrot, of course I would start getting more convinced once they reunite.
3-personally I never saw deathflags on Jinbe, dont still see it at all, some people here see deathflags everywhere, last deathflagged character was Law, whom a bunch of people seemed 100% convinced of it.
4-I got 'fishy-ness- from Pedro due to him asking BM to spare him because he wanted to see the dawn and lacking 50 years of his life wouldn't just stay like that, Im(still) expecting a much happier ending for the character, of course that stuff about his last voyage are more recent words from him, but Vergo also had to say goodbye and Pell "flashbacking" tearful stuff to his death, I would be very surpised if any new One Piece fan going thru Alabasta would've expected Pell to survive, we all fell to it, lots are falling to Pedro now:ninja:
