Why this matters

A textbook chekhov-explicit install delivered partly through a dying enemy’s monologue: the villain announces, out loud, that his weapon of mass destruction is already a traded commodity (“two nations”) and that he intends to scale it into a world arms-merchant empire. Oda front-loads the broader WMD-trafficking economy — the same underworld market his patron “Joker” (Doflamingo) brokers — through a self-aggrandizing speech.
