Why this matters

The compartment-security is architecturally load-bearing for the Ch. 0155 Guardian Deity of Alabasta civilian-cover — the only way the boss can wear two public identities (Sir Crocodile guardian-deity + Mr. 0 villain-boss) simultaneously without leakage. The mechanic also explains why the lower-tier Baroque Works grunts in earlier arcs never recognized Crocodile-as-Mr.-0 on-page despite Mr. 0 being their ultimate boss.
