The seed

Cobra’s moral doctrine at its furthest conclusion. The rebels and the royals are not just two parts of his country — they ARE the country, both of them. Destroying either half destroys the whole. The Alabasta-saga’s central moral premise is delivered impotently from captivity, by a king whose words cannot reach the field.

Pre-loads forward-canon king-mediates-civil-war + Vivi-inherits-this-doctrine arc-climax beats. The doctrine is articulated by the only person in the kingdom who cannot deliver it to the field.
