Crocodile Poison Hook Concealed Kill-Weapon Reveal

Status: pending · Technique: chekhov-explicit, prop-tell

The seed

The payoff

(Forward-canon — the poison wound becomes the crisis that drives the blood/water cure-logic to its limit.)

Earliest known caller

(Unknown.)

Why this matters

Thematic precedent: Gin Poisoned By His Own Captain’s Weapon (a captain’s concealed-poison weapon) and Krieg Poison Gas MH5 (East Blue poison-weapon grammar). The reveal is a textbook Oda prop-tell — a long-iconic object (the hook, on-page since Ch. 0155) is retroactively re-keyed as a Chekhov’s gun the instant lethal stakes are declared.
