Why this matters

Characterizes the antagonist before he appears on-page. The “wayward lambs” / false-god framing pre-loads the arc’s central confrontation: Luffy (who feels no such guilt) versus a self-deifying tyrant. A clean chekhov-explicit thesis statement about the villain’s method that the climax pays off by toppling the false god. Technique note: it is delivered by the former God of Skypiea — a deposed-authority testimony, the same “dialogue from the displaced/dead” channel Oda uses to plant verdicts the reader trusts.
