Why this matters

A dismissed-as-imagination background sighting at the world’s most sacred, most surveilled location. Oda’s negative-space / background-symbol register: the most load-bearing reveals are often the ones a panel literally tells you not to believe. The giant-with-a-trident at the seat of the World Government is a Void-Century-tier seed planted in throwaway dialogue.
