Django Cover Story Vol 36 Final Peon Pals Marine Bonding
Status: confirmed · Technique: cover-story-payoff
The seed/payoff
Why this matters
Closes the Django cover-arc and pre-loads forward-canon Django+Fullbody Marine-officer-pair appearances. Establishes the peon-corps absorption of villain-crew survivors as a Marine-recruitment pathway — a structural template Oda will re-use for other defeated-villain-crews.
