The seed
Why this matters
- First on-page indication that the rebellion engineered by Crocodile is mobilizing incomplete at the Alubarna-engagement moment.
- The timing-asymmetry pre-loads the arc-finale composition: Vivi’s interruption-via-spectacle plan is viable precisely because the rebel-army is not fully committed at the moment of palace-destruction.
- Pre-loads forward-canon Vivi-addresses-both-armies arc-finale set-piece — the rebel-officers and their reinforcements arriving incrementally creates a deployment-window for Vivi’s plan.
