when oda kill a character in the present time he put their names on the chapter title
-485 "MEMBER OF THE STRAW HAT CREW : PIRATE HUNTER ZORO"
-574 " THE DEATH OF PORTGAS D. ACE"
-576 "THE GREAT PIRATE EDWARD NEWGATE"
-878 "MINK TRIBE, GUARDIANS CHIEF PEDRO"
-942 "YASUIE SHIMOTSUKI DAIMYO OF HAKUMAI"
-208 "THE PROTECTING GODS"
* Pell called himself THE PROTECTING GODS in the same chapter 208
so only one did't die who is zoro , (also pell if you count him )
also oda showed their corpses except pedro ,(also pell if you count him )
,,
so Pedro being alive is not far fetched .
someone who was repeating that he want to die from the beginning of the arc then he die !! , seems strange coming from oda
