The seed
Why this matters
- First on-page Crocodile-at-Alubarna-Palace beat. The warlord arrives at the kingdom-seat-of-power before the rebel-vs-royal battle resolves — signaling that the rebellion was always a smokescreen for the throne-takeover.
- Pre-loads the forward-canon Crocodile wants Pluton under the palace arc-end reveal — the Ancient-Weapon-as-true-objective.
- Pairs with the simultaneous Cobra-orders-palace-explosives beat: Cobra is preparing to destroy what Crocodile is preparing to take. Both factions know the palace is the prize.
