The seed
Why this matters
- First on-page utterance of Dance Powder — the chemical Crocodile used to steal the rain from Alabasta.
- Past-tense reference to a known incident that triggered the rebellion-spiral — implies a discrete on-page or off-page event that the Alabasta political class knows about.
- Pre-loads the entire Crocodile stole the rain via Dance Powder arc-climax revelation — forward-canon, the Strawhats will visit a Dance Powder factory and Crocodile’s culpability will be confirmed.
- Sister-doctrine to Baroque Works Environmental Sabotage Doctrine — the Dance Powder incident is the operational instance of Baroque-Works’ environmental-sabotage method.
