The seed
Why this matters
The Calm-Belt-as-nest framing is the first geographic-aggregation register for Sea Kings. Forward-pattern: the Fishman Island arc reveals Sea-Kings-as-friends-of-Shirahoshi (Poseidon-control); the Marineford arc shows Pacifista-vs-Sea-King combat-tier; Boa Hancock’s Devil-Fruit can pacify Sea Kings to allow Calm-Belt-traverse. The nest framing canonizes Sea-Kings as a colony-tier species, not solitary monsters.
