The seed
Page 7 of Ch. 69:
- Luffy: “Fish-man, huh? Fish-man Island in the Grand Line is famous, isn’t it?”
- Sanji: “I’ve heard there are beautiful mermaids there.”
Three pieces of world-building in three sentences:
- Fish-Man Island exists (as a place name).
- It’s in the Grand Line.
- Mermaids live there (first on-page mermaid-canonization).
Forward-payoff: the Fish-Man Island arc (Ch. 612-653) and the Mermaid-Cafe / Camie / Shirahoshi recurring beats. The Ch. 69 install is the first world-building install of fish-men, mermaids, and their homeland in a single page.
