The seed
First on-page weapon-reveal Ch. 92 page 13 — Nami’s terse identification: “THAT’S HIS SHARK SAW!!” Luffy crashes into Arlong Park’s interior weapons-armory (page 12 — sword-rack with multiple bound katana, polished wood-floor, SHEEN SFX) and discovers the giant detached saw-toothed sword-class weapon. The weapon mirrors Arlong’s nose-anatomy at amplified scale — the prosthetic-amplification of his saw-nose. On page 16, Arlong wields the Shark Saw to threaten Luffy (raising it, SW UP!!). On page 17, Luffy stops the saw-strike with bare hands (KLAK… / WON’T MOVE!!!). The chapter installs the Saw-Tooth epithet operationalizes a saw-class weapon arsenal, not just nose-anatomy. Cross-link to Saw-Tooth Arlong Epithet — the Ch. 69 epithet’s anatomy-as-name register is escalated to arsenal-as-name. Pre-loads Ch. 93+ Arlong arms with the saw-class weapon to escalate the combat.
