The seed-and-payoff (same chapter)
Why it matters
The decoy-composition is operationally Vivi’s tactical doctrine — leveraging her Ch. 180 ex-Officer-Agent insider-knowledge to design a counter-Mane-Mane impersonation that uses identical-cape-stacking to defeat the BW kill-list logic (target-locked-on-Vivi-only). The Strawhats’ five-decoy split makes the Officer-Agent ambush mathematically defeated by too many Vivis. Pre-loads the chapter’s pair-battle pursuit-split.
