The seed
The payoff
(Pending — Imu’s your old enemies register (Ch. 1086), Whitebeard’s the will of those who oppose the Gods will live on (Ch. 576), Rocks-asks-Imu inheritance question (Ch. 1162-1164).)
Why this matters
Prior on-page D-events were single-bearer name-drops (Roger Ch. 1, Luffy Ch. 1, Dragon Ch. 105, Kureha-on-Ace Ch. 154, Ace caption Ch. 157). Ch. 180 is the first time the D. is named as a categorical lineage — a faction with members and a shared identity — on-page in dialogue, by an outsider. The structural shift from letter-flag to faction-name is load-bearing for the entire Marineford and post-Marineford D-clan arc.
