Why this matters
A belief-powered fruit that renders the same liberation-figure the protagonist embodies, plus an antagonist explicitly naming an unmade “connection,” is a textbook Oda planted-reveal: the dangled connection is the foreshadow.

- ⚠ Near-dup: the @1101 flashback manifestation of the same power is tracked at Bonney’s Distorted Future Imagines A Nika-Like Self (the earliest member of this beat-cluster). This @1103 note records the present-day beat where Saturn explicitly equates the form with Gear 5 and dangles the “connection.” Cross-linked, not duplicated.
