The seed
Why this matters
Consistent with the Ch. 70-80 Arlong-as-villain-CEO register:
- Arlong Money Is The Only Thing A Man Can Believe In — everything is convertible to money/value
- Arlong 100M Berry Buyback Contract — Nami-as-asset-buyback-target
- Per-capita tribute-tax + records-audit tax-enforcement — accountancy-coded villainy
The officer-as-asset doctrine extends the everything-is-property register to the captain’s own crew. Officers are not comrades; they are valuable assets whose loss is an asset-write-off.
Forward: every Arlong-Pirates loss-and-recovery beat (including post-Sun-Pirates Sabaody return Ch. 491+) inherits this captain-as-asset-accountant register. The character’s relationship to his own crew is transactional, not loyal.
