The seed/payoff
Why this matters
Re-keys the entire Ch. 161 Erumalu set-piece. Erumalu’s silent-stone-corpse register reads as engineered atrocity-evidence — Crocodile’s coup-engine builds the very ruins he then blames the king for. Pre-loads forward-canon mass-tragedy-as-political-frame doctrine (Doflamingo’s Dressrosa, Kaido-Orochi’s Wano).
