The seed
Why this matters
The Calm Belt is named on-page for the first time at Ch. 101 page 6-7. Nami delivers the full Grand-Line-sandwiched-between-two-Calm-Belts cosmology on page 7 in a labeled three-band schematic. The chapter establishes the Calm Belt as a structural, permanent geographic feature — not a weather event. Forward-pattern: pre-loads the Sea-Stone-hull-traverse mechanic (Marine warships), the Devil-Fruit-pacification mechanic (Boa Hancock), the Pacifista-vs-Sea-King beats. The Calm-Belt-as-Sea-King-nest register installs simultaneously (see Calm Belt As Sea-King Nesting-Ground).
