Arc-by-arc updates

Alabasta — Battle of Alubarna’s Southeast Gate (Ch. 186) — 4 — combat-debut vs. Usopp + Chopper; Four-Ton Bat named weapon; slow-speech drawl tell; friendly-fire on Merry Christmas through Usopp’s smoke-screen

• First on-page combat-action of Mr. 4 (Ch. 186). Caption-debut visual (Ch. 0160) cashes into full combat-personality canonization at the East Block of Alubarna (palm-tree-lined boulevard, Alubarna-skyline behind).
• Four-Ton Bat — named weapon debut (Ch. 186 p. 9). Merry Christmas: “MR. 4!! GRAB YOUR FOUR-TON BAT!!!” — hardened four-ton baseball bat as Mr. 4’s primary close-range weapon; combat-velocity FWUMP!! slow-overhead swings. Cross-link Mr 4 Four-Ton Bat Baseball-Bat Weapon Named.
• Slow-speech drawl personality tell (Ch. 186 pp. 5-13). All Mr. 4 dialogue at one… word… per… beat tempo: ”…COULDN’T… HAVE DIED!!! NO WAY HE’D… LOSE TO YOUR OLD… SAND CROC!!!” (p. 5), “OH? WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE?” (p. 6 silhouette), “FOUR. MOLE-TOWN… HERE IT COMES!!” (p. 14), “FOUR. ONE MORE TIME, MR. 4!!” (p. 13). The dimwit-affect visual debut now has a speech-grammar. Cross-link Mr 4 Slow-Speech Drawl Tell.
• Pitcher / batter combat-role canonized (Ch. 186 pp. 9-14). Mr. 4 is the bat-wielder; Merry Christmas pitches a baseball (“BATTER UP, MR. 4!!!”, p. 14) for him to hit toward the catcher (Merry Christmas, who burrows under to emerge at catcher-spot). The pitcher-catcher pair-grammar with Merry Christmas is the first cross-grammar paired-power Officer-Agent combo in the series.
• Friendly-fire on Merry Christmas through Usopp’s smoke-screen (Ch. 186 p. 15). Usopp’s Smoke Star (p. 14) breaks Mr. 4’s line of sight to Merry Christmas’s catcher-emergence spot. Mr. 4 swings full-strength on his own partner (WHUMP!!) — Merry Christmas wails “WAIT, MR. 4!! IT’S ME!!!” but the bat is already swinging. The pair-grammar’s strength becomes its vulnerability. Cross-link Mr 4 Friendly-Fire Strike Catcher-Mistakes-Partner Slapstick Beat.
• Psychological-grenade lie about Luffy’s death (Ch. 186 p. 5). Mr. 4: ”…OUR BOSS, MR. ZERO, FINISHED YOUR LUFFY… HOURS AGO!! AND NOW THE REBELLION HAS BEGUN. YOU’RE NO MATCH FOR US!!” — first on-page operational-deception lie used against an enemy to break morale. (Audience knows Luffy is alive; Usopp + Chopper don’t.) The lie backfires: Usopp’s dream-defense doctrine fires instead of breaking.
• Wide-arc bat-blast retaliation downs Usopp (Ch. 186 p. 18). After Usopp’s Hammer Shooting Star drops Merry Christmas, Mr. 4 swings a wide-arc bat-blast that catches Usopp center-frame (BR / OOM!! / SPLAT!!); Chopper goes flying offscreen. Chapter-end down-state — but caption pre-tells ”…WIN THE BATTLE OF ALUBARNA’S SOUTHEAST GATE.” (p. 19), confirming the forward outcome.

Alabasta — Alubarna Ruins (Ch. 185) — Oh… Is That So? — 5-ton hammer + monster-tier pain-resistance evidence-add; FOUR speech-tic canonized; wields Lassoo; Four-Hundred Base Hits artillery; chapter-title-payoff line at chain-detonation

• Continues the Alubarna officer-pair-bout vs. Usopp + Chopper at the ruined outskirts (Ch. 185 pp. 2-19). The Ch. 0184 South-East Gate pair-bout extends into the ruins-zone with full operational deployment of the Mr. 4 / Merry Christmas pair-grammar — Merry Christmas tunnels and immobilizes; Mr. 4 swings the hammer and bats Lassoo-fired bombs. Cross-link Ms. Merry Christmas (paired-officer — continuing pair-bout), Usopp (pair-fight target), Tony Tony Chopper (pair-fight target), Alubarna Ruins Battlefield Mr-4-Pair-Vs-Usopp-Chopper Pair-Fight Begins (new — load-bearing — Ch. 185 first Alubarna-ruins pair-fight operationalization).
• 5-Ton Hammer + slow-heavy-hitter powerset evidence-add (Ch. 185 pp. 2, 5-6). Mr. 4 (opening line, hammer over shoulder): “OKAY, MOLE!!! NOW IT’S YOUR TURN TO GET WHACKED BY MY FIVE-TON HAMMER!!” (p. 2). The Ch. 0184 Five-Ton Bat tonnage register extends to a one-handed 5-ton hammer in the pair-bout. Cross-link Mr 4 Five-Ton Hammer Slow-Heavy-Hitter Powerset Reveal (new).
• LOAD-BEARING — Monster-tier pain-resistance tell (Ch. 185 pp. 5-6). Usopp lands a full-power Usopp Pound on Mr. 4’s head (BONG!! / BWOING!!) — Mr. 4 doesn’t react (FIVE TONS. …HURT?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!, p. 5). Chopper observes: MR. 4 DOESN’T HAVE A BUMP ON HIS HEAD AT ALL… SOMETHING’S NOT RIGHT HERE. HOW COULD HE SURVIVE A BLOW LIKE THAT WITHOUT INJURY?! The DA-DUMB SFX implies slow-nervous-system / monster-tank biology rather than Devil-Fruit-modification. First on-page Officer-Agent monster-tier-tank archetype tell. Cross-link Mr 4 Pain-Resistance Monster-Tier Tank Tell (new — load-bearing).
• FOUR slow-speech-tic canonized (Ch. 185 pp. 6, 10, 14-15). Mr. 4 punctuates dialogue with single-word FOUR. utterances — slow, deliberate, baseball-coded affect-tic. The number-as-name register is structurally identical to a player-number being announced. Canonizes the dimwitted-officer affect-grammar.
• Wields Lassoo as artillery + Four-Hundred Base Hits technique (Ch. 185 pp. 9-14). Mr. 4 calls LASSOO!! (p. 9) and uses the dog-bazooka-hybrid as an ammo-source — then bats Lassoo-fired bombs at Usopp + Chopper with a baseball bat (FOUR HUNDRED BASE HITS!!, p. 10). The baseball-coding goes operational: bat + projectile + base-hits + batting-volley. Cross-link Lassoo (Mr. 4’s support weapon-pet — Ch. 0185 wielding evidence-add), Inu Inu no Mi, Model Dachshund (Lassoo’s fruit — Ch. 185 combat-deployment evidence-add).
• How dare you trick me slow-rage register (Ch. 185 p. 7). When Usopp reveals the Usopp Pound as papier-mâché (net weight 4.4 lbs), Mr. 4’s slow-rage cycle fires: HOW DARE YOU TRICK ME. — the dim-monster’s affect-shift from I hit you → you tricked me is canonized as a combat-trigger.
• Chapter-title-payoff line — Oh… Is that so? (Ch. 185 p. 19). After the Mole-Town chain-detonation engulfs the tunnel network: Mr. 4 (slow-tic, last line of chapter): IS THAT SO? / OH… — the chapter-title-payoff. Canonizes Mr. 4’s slow-realization deadpan as his signature affect-register.
• Cross-link Ms. Merry Christmas (paired-officer), Baroque Works (Officer-Agent rank-4 pair), Alubarna (Ch. 0185 ruins battlefield).

Alabasta — Alubarna South-East Gate combat-deployment (Ch. 184) — LOAD-BEARING — first sustained combat as a named-tier officer; Destroyer-King self-mythologizing; speech-asymmetry register BREAKS

• LOAD-BEARING — first sustained combat as the named-tier officer (Ch. 184 pp. 2-19). South-East-Gate ambush vs. Usopp / Chopper at Moletown Block Four. The Ch. 0160 silent-bat-prop tell pays off as a full combat-grammar deployment.
• First on-page Mr. 4 dialogue at length — Destroyer-King self-mythologizing (Ch. 184 pp. 17-19). Mr. 4 (one-handing the five-ton bat, two-finger FWIP!): “I AM… THE DESTROYER KING. I’VE SUNK COUNTLESS NUMBERS OF WARSHIPS. PEOPLE CALL ME… …THE DESTROYER KING.” The Ch. 0160 / 0165 speech-asymmetry register BREAKS — Mr. 4 self-narrates for the first time. The I’ve sunk countless warships lore installs Mr. 4 as a former pirate / mercenary tier predator prior to BW.
• Five-ton bat — FIVE TONS signpost canonization (Ch. 184 pp. 18-19). The bat carried over Mr. 4’s shoulder since Ch. 0160 is canonized at five tons; Mr. 4 swings it one-handed and throws it like a discus (p. 15 SHUK SHUK).
• Time-bomb baseball / curveball / fly-ball pitching combat-grammar (Ch. 184 pp. 4-6, 12-13). Mr. 4 swings Lassoo-sneezed time-bomb baseballs at Usopp/Chopper. The baseballs are as heavy as cannonballs with fuse-explosion-on-timer. Named pitches: curve ball (p. 12), fly ball (p. 12). The cleanup hitter speech-callback from p. 13 retro-canonizes the Ch. 0160 baseball-coded tells as the precise combat-grammar register.
• Mole-pair-bout combat composition with Ms. Merry Christmas (Ch. 184). Pair-bout: Mr. 4 above (gun-and-bat) + Merry Christmas below (mole-tunnel ambush) = compound combat doctrine. Mr. 4 himself is silent through most of the bout (FOUR. terminal-utterance pattern); Merry Christmas does most of the talking, continuing the Ch. 0160 speech-asymmetry.
• Forward-canon Zoan identity? Chopper line p. 14: “OH, A ZOAN TYPE.” — ambiguous-attribution panel (likely directed at Lassoo, since Mr. 4 himself is human-only). Mr. 4 himself does NOT transform in this chapter — the Zoan type line is about Lassoo’s Mutt-Mutt Fruit. Mr. 4 is canonically human (per BW Officer-Agent grammar).
• Officer-Agent rank-utility doctrine question (Ch. 184 open question raised): the I’ve sunk countless warships lore suggests Mr. 4 punches well above his rank-4 tier in raw destructive output — forward-canon implication that BW Officer-rankings are by stealth/utility/specialty, not by raw combat tier.
• Cross-link Lassoo (new — Mr. 4’s bazooka-dog Devil-Fruit-eater), Ms. Merry Christmas (pair-bout partner — first joint-combat-grammar deployment), Mr 4 Five-Ton Bat Destroyer-King Sunk-Countless-Warships Lore (new — load-bearing), Mr 4 Time-Bomb Baseball Cannonball-Pitch Combat Grammar (new — load-bearing), Mr 4 Versus Usopp Chopper Officer-Pair Bout Locked (new — load-bearing).

Alabasta — Alubarna (Ch. 183) — cleanup hitter doctrine canonized; dog-partner referenced; first on-page combat-attack with explosive-baseball + bat

• LOAD-BEARING — cleanup hitter baseball-bat combat-role doctrine canonized (Ch. 183 p. 18). Chopper to Usopp: “The other one, Mr. 4, is a cleanup hitter.” First on-page articulation of Mr. 4’s baseball-bat as a cleanup-hitter combat-role — baseball #4 batting position = power-hitter who clears the bases. The Ch. 0160 baseball-bat-prop-tell now keys at the tactical-doctrine tier: Mr. 4’s combat-style is mass-clearance-via-explosive-baseball, not finesse. Cross-link Mr 4 Cleanup Hitter Baseball-Bat Combat-Role Doctrine (new).
• LOAD-BEARING — has a dog that works with him — partner-animal referenced (Ch. 183 p. 18). Chopper: “And he has a dog that works with him!!” First on-page reference to Mr. 4’s animal-partner (forward-canon: Lassoo — the Inu Inu no Mi Model: Dachshund Zoan fruit dachshund-shaped four-legged-bazooka). The Ch. 0160 Spiders-Café pair-grammar (Mr. 4 + Ms. Merry Christmas) is now structurally a trio. The dog is not visually shown this chapter; only its operational existence is named-by-reference. Cross-link Mr 4 Dog-Partner Working-Pair Referenced (new — load-bearing).
• LOAD-BEARING — first on-page Mr. 4 combat-attack — pitches and bats explosive baseball (Ch. 183 p. 19). After Usopp’s “I don’t get what you’re talking about!!”, Mr. 4 emerges in silhouette-foreground (silent, pinwheel-pipe hat over baseball cap, 4 on chest, bat over shoulder); pitches a ball (SHUP!!); swings the bat (TIK TIK / KLANK!!); the baseball detonates on contact (KABOOM!!!). First on-page Mr. 4 combat-attack with named-tier weapon. The bat-and-ball pair-combo is operationally a long-range artillery; the silent-character coding (Ch. 0160) is maintained — Mr. 4 doesn’t speak during the attack. Cross-link Mr 4 Explosive-Baseball Bat-And-Ball Combat Tell (new).
• Silent throughout (Ch. 183) — consistent with the Ch. 0160 silent-character-debut tell. Chopper does all the threat-articulating; Mr. 4 acts.
• Cross-link Ms. Merry Christmas (Ch. 183 paired-officer at Southeast Gate), Tony Tony Chopper (Ch. 183 threat-articulator), Usopp (Ch. 183 attack-target).

Alabasta — Royal-Army Infiltrator False-Flag Trigger (Ch. 182)

• LOAD-BEARING — Mr. 4 fires the false-flag cannonball that triggers the Alabasta civil war (pp. 7-8). On-page in Royal-Army uniform-infiltrator-disguise (bulbous-nosed, tongue-out HAHA + visible Mr.-4 facial register). Yanks a Royal-Army cannon-cord (BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!) over the Royal-Army officer’s order to wait for command.
• Fake-apology cover-story: “S-SORRY, SIR!! MY HAND SLIPPED!!” Then smug aside: “AN ACCIDENT. HEH HEH…” with the Baroque-Works skull-and-crossbones logo floating in the panel-margin as visual signature.
• First on-page Mr. 4-deployed-as-uniformed-infiltrator beat — Mr. 4’s combat-tier was visible in Ch. 0166 (Lassoo-bazooka); this chapter establishes his infiltration / disguise capability as the BW-engineered false-flag trigger.
• Cross-link Baroque Works (Ch. 182 false-flag-trigger evidence add), Baroque Works False-Flag Cannonball Misfire Civil-War Trigger (new — load-bearing), Mr 4 Lassoo-Bazooka Cannonball Mis-Fire Hand-Slipped Trigger (new), Baroque Works Branded Cannonballs Prop-Tell Trigger Evidence (new), Alubarna Civil War Triggered By False-Flag Cannonball (new — load-bearing).

Alabasta — Supersonic Duck Quiz (Ch. 181) — combat-pair activates with Merry Christmas; Sphinx-mount in pursuit; bomb-baseball first deployment vs. Strawhats; can’t tell which one is Vivi doctrine

• Combat-pair activates with Merry Christmas (p. 11). “LET’S GO, MR. 4!! LEAVE THOSE TWO TO US!!!” (Merry Christmas commanding). DASH!! — Mr. 4 (on Sphinx-mount from Ch. 0172) + Merry Christmas charge south after the two south-bound Vivi-decoys. First on-page Mr. 4 + Merry Christmas combat-deployment.
• Sphinx-mount in active pursuit (p. 11, TARRUMP). The Sphinx-mount silhouette-debut from Ch. 0172 is operationally cashed — Mr. 4 rides the Sphinx into combat-pursuit. The mythological-creature-mount is canonized as Mr. 4’s standard combat-vehicle.
• Bomb-baseball first deployment against Strawhats (p. 10). BO-OM!! / TIK TIK TIK / DMP DMP / BOOOM!! — Mr. 4 throws a baseball-bomb at the duck-squad; the squad dodges (WHOOSH!!). First on-page Mr. 4 bomb-baseball combat-use against the Strawhats. Caption: “DON’T GO NEAR IT!!!”
• Can’t tell which one is Vivi doctrine (p. 9). Mr. 4 (close-up, eyes wide): “CURSE THEM!! WE CAN’T TELL WHICH ONE IS VIVI!!!” — the Vivi-decoy-cipher confounds the BW ambush composition. The kill-list logic (target-locked-on-Vivi-only) is operationally defeated by too many Vivis.
• You said all we had to do was eliminate Vivi — How iffy!!! register* (p. 7). Mr. 4 (slow-witted): “YOU SAID ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS ELIMINATE VIVI.” / “ALL RIGHT…” / “MR. 1…” / “HOW IFFY!!!” — Mr. 4’s iffy idiolect at full intensity in the chase.
• Cross-link Ms. Merry Christmas (combat-pair partner), Mr 4 Sphinx Mount Mythological-Creature Debut (Ch. 181 fully cashed — Sphinx in active-combat-pursuit), Mr 4 Ms Merry Christmas Combat-Pair Activation Officer-Agent-Combat Debut (new).

Alabasta — Alubarna East Gate (Ch. 180) — Alabasta Animal Land — assembled at the East Gate ambush; We’re the ones for this job!! combat-pair-with-Merry-Christmas claim

• At the Alubarna East Gate ambush (Ch. 180 pp. 18-19). Mr. 4 (rotund, white-suited, holding a baseball-bat with his face-laughing HAHA) silent through the chapter — Ms. Merry Christmas articulates for the pair: “Hold it, you two!! You can’t be serious!!” / “We’re the ones for this job!! Right, Mr. 4?!” — establishes the Mr.-4-Ms.-Merry-Christmas pair-tier combat-pair composition that anchors the forward-canon Alubarna chase. Cross-link Ms. Merry Christmas (Ch. 180 combat-pair canonization), Baroque Works Six Officer Ambush At Alubarna East Gate Strategic-Convergence (new).

Alabasta — Cobra-kidnap guard duty (Ch. 179) — operationally assigned to king-extraction with Merry Christmas; silent-character register continues

• LOAD-BEARING — first on-page operational assignment: Cobra-kidnap and guard duty (Ch. 179 pp. 14-15). Mr. 4 and Ms. Merry Christmas stand guard over the captive King Cobra at an indoor Alabasta-stone location. Merry Christmas: “Naturally, sneaking past the palace guards to kidnap him was something only WE could do.” Confirms the Mr. 4 / Merry Christmas pair as Baroque Works’ palace-infiltration / king-kidnap specialists — their mission-role within Operation Utopia is now operationally explained. See Mr 4 Merry Christmas Guard Cobra At Alubarna (new — LOAD-BEARING).
• Silent-character register continues — Merry Christmas does all the talking; Mr. 4 emits only physical-discomfort lines (“Agh! My back hurts!! My ba!”). The Ch. 0160 / Ch. 0165 speech-asymmetry pair-grammar holds at the field-mission tier — Mr. 4 acts silently as Merry Christmas’s verbal counterpart even on solo officer-pair operations.
• Visual update — Mr. 4’s design now visible in close-up (huge head, beard, dimwitted-affect smile, sweating). Confirms his Ch. 0155 roster-design.
• Cross-link Ms. Merry Christmas (pair-partner; the talker), Nefertari Cobra (kidnap target & ward), Alubarna (mission location).

Alabasta — Cover splash visual debut (Ch. 176) — Wide-brim hat, X-mark coat, feed-pail pastoral composition

• First on-page visual debut as solo title-splash cover (Ch. 176 p. 1). Mr. 4 in his trademark wide-brim hat, X-mark coat, double-bandolier, carrying two wax-X feed-pails, surrounded by sheep/goats and a small dog-like wagging creature on a pastoral grassland. The pastoral composition (livestock-handler-with-feed-pails) is a wardrobe-foreshadow for Mr. 4’s lazy/slow-tier register and Lassoo-the-dog-pistol partnership (the dog-like creature in the cover is a visual-tell for the forward-canon Lassoo). Cross-link Mr 4 Cover-Splash Goat-Herder Pastoral Title-Page Tell (new).
• Roster panel appearance in Vol. 19 bonus map (Ch. 176 p. 21). Named Mr. 4 in the five-headshot Baroque Works Agents lineup at the bottom of the Alabasta Kingdom strategic atlas.
• Cross-link Baroque Works, Mr 4 Cover-Splash Goat-Herder Pastoral Title-Page Tell.

Alabasta — Rebellion (Ch. 172) — first on-page silhouette + dialogue debut at Rain Dinners; sphinx mount; octopus parfait iffy-doctrine; Cobra-kidnap mission staging

• First on-page silhouette + dialogue debut at Rain Dinners (Ch. 172 p. 3). Big-headed silhouette, mouth-agape grin, accompanied by a Sphinx (mythological lion-body-human-face creature) mount. Mr. 4: “Like the limpness of raw octopus in an octopus parfait!! It’s so iffy you can’t tell if this country’s king is a king or something else!!! My plan is a success!!!” The Bon-Clay-as-Cobra impersonation is co-credited as my plan’s success — Mr. 4 is implicated as a planner/coordinator of the Nanohana false-flag.
• Cobra-kidnap mission assigned (with Miss Merry Christmas) (Ch. 172 p. 8). BW-grunt-affiliated dialogue: “Kidnapping a king is a piece of cake for them!! Fatty and the old bat will come through!! All that’s left is for Mr. 4’s team to do their part.” Mr. 4 = Fatty; the old bat is Miss Merry Christmas. The pair is en route to Alubarna to snatch King Cobra (operationally to give Crocodile the captive he needs for his certain question interrogation).
• Sphinx-mount debut (Ch. 172 p. 3, p. 8) — large sphinx (lion-body, human-face) drawn behind Mr. 4 in silhouette and on the cart. First on-page Sphinx in the series — operationally Mr. 4’s pet/mount (not a Devil-Fruit-form; forward-canon Mr. 4’s fruit is the Inu Inu no Mi, Model Dachshund). Cross-link Sphinx (new — see Create below).
• Cross-link Mr 4 Miss Merry Christmas Visible At Crocodile HQ (new), Mr 4 Sphinx Mount Mythological-Creature Debut (new), Mr 4 Miss Merry Christmas Cobra Kidnapping Assignment (new). Pays off Mr 4 Miss Merry Christmas Officer Agent Pair Debut Off-Page.

Alabasta — Operation Utopia summit (Ch. 165) — Rain Dinners boss-reveal; Sir Crocodile shock-reaction; likely speaker of the Warlord-recognition line

• At the Rain Dinners officer-summit (Ch. 165 pp. 7-16) — present at the candle-table alongside the other officers. Silent through Bon Clay’s and Merry Christmas’s chatter; Mr. 1’s discipline ignores him.
• Sir Crocodile shock-reaction (Ch. 165 p. 11) — at the face-reveal: ‘SIR CROCODILE!!?’ — paired with the DOOM!! candelabra-flames close-up.
• Likely speaker of the Warlord-recognition line (Ch. 165 p. 12) — ‘Recognize him!? He’s a pirate!! One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!!’ The line is unattributed in the panel composition but Mr. 4’s positioning + speech-asymmetry-with-Merry-Christmas-as-talker pattern makes him the most-likely speaker. The Warlord-recognition register installs Mr. 4 as the on-page Officer-Agent-tier I-know-who-this-guy-is voice.
• Silent reaction-shot in the officer-row close-up strip on p. 15.
• Cross-link Crocodile (boss-reveal target), Ms. Merry Christmas (paired-officer at the summit), Operation Utopia Baroque Works Ultimate Plan Named (new — load-bearing), Mr 4 Miss Merry Christmas Officer Agent Pair Debut Off-Page (new).

Alabasta (Ch. 160) — full in-story visual debut at Spiders Café; silent throughout

• LOAD-BEARING — first on-page in-story visual debut (Ch. 160 p. 9). Bowling-pin-shaped, pinwheel-pipe hat over baseball cap, baseball uniform 4, baseball bat over shoulder, walks slowly. Caption: MR. 4 — OFFICER AGENT — BAROQUE WORKS. Staggers in exhausted with Miss Merry Christmas (“WHAM!! / PINGDONG”). Speech-asymmetry tell: Merry Christmas does all the talking; Mr. 4 is silent — even Merry Christmas’s “It’s all your fault, Mr. 4!” is one-sided. Cross-link Mr 4 Officer Agent Visual Debut (load-bearing).
• Orders apple tea (Ch. 160 p. 10). Pola: “You’ll have orange pekoe…and, Mr. 4, you like apple tea, right?” — Mr. 4’s only acknowledged preference this chapter.
• Reacts silently to the Bon Clay / Mr. 1 confrontation (Ch. 160 pp. 13-19) — sweat-drops, ?-marks, silent observation. Does not intervene.
• Does not know Crocodile’s face (Ch. 160 p. 19, by Doublefinger).
• Baseball-bat prop-tell: the bat carried over his shoulder is a forward-tease for the multi-ton bat-weapon.

Notes

• Baseball-coding: hat + uniform + bat establish the baseball-coded character-school. Forward-canon: the baseball-bat is a named-tier weapon.
• Silent-character debut: among the rare Oda named-Officer-Agent-tier character who does not speak in their debut chapter. The speech-asymmetry is a character-coding tell, not a translation gap.
