Nox Pirates

The Nox Pirates, initially known as the Nox Expedition Party (ノックス探検隊), was a pirate crew of minks led by Pedro. They initially set sail from Zou as explorers with the intention of finding poneglyphs, but were chased by the World Government and ended up receiving bounties. The crew was defeated in Totto Land five years ago, causing it to be disbanded.

History
Thirteen years before the start of the series, the Nox Expedition Party set sail from Zou as explorers in order to find a poneglyph. However, as the research of poneglyphs is considered a crime by the World Government, the party was labelled as criminals and became the Nox Pirates, with Pedro gaining a bounty. At some point, the crew suffered wounds and loss of morale, causing all members apart from Pedro and Zepo to retire. Pekoms led those who could no longer continue on the journey, and their group ended up arriving in the territory of the Yonko Big Mom. Their lives were saved and they were taken under her protection.

Five years later, Pedro and Zepo set their sights on Big Mom's poneglyph and entered Totto Land, where they discovered Pekoms had joined her crew. Pedro and Zepo suffered a massive defeat. Zepo spun Big Mom's roulette wheel and landed on a punishment of losing 100 years of life; however, he only had 30 left, so after killing him with her powers, Big Mom turned to Pedro to take the remaining 70. Pekoms convinced Big Mom to reduce the price, but she only went down a decade because she was mad at Pedro for taking Tamago's left eye, so Pedro removed his own left eye and claimed that he had to return to Zou in order to witness "the dawn of this world"; impressed by this, Big Mom took only 50 years off his lifespan.

Pedro became captain of the Guardians on Zou in his few remaining years left.

Trivia

 * Nox is the Latin word for "night" and also the Roman name for the Greek primordial goddess of the night, Nyx. The crew's Captain Pedro claim the name came from his desire to to assure in the dawn, as every night does.
