(Payoff is forward of the current window — keep pending. The realignment Doflamingo names plays out across the New World saga; the scorer/weaver decides closure.)

Why this matters
Oda routinely loads a long-horizon thesis into a villain’s monologue (Doflamingo here, like Crocodile’s and Enel’s set-piece sermons) — the antagonist articulates the macro-direction of the series so the reader can hold the frame. The “prologue, not climax” framing reclassifies Marineford retroactively and pre-loads the New-World power churn (Emperor shake-ups, the Worst Generation’s rise) that follows. Cross-link Paramount War of Marineford, Doflamingo.
