A chekhov-explicit power-tell paired with a prop-tell: the manga states the rule of the arrows (a fated “countdown” you’re a fool to walk into) and shows the regeneration on-page — flagging both as the levers the Straw Hats will have to solve. The @1137 caveat that the “confirmed path” is alterable is the planted counter-key. Links Arrow-Arrow Fruit, Gunko.
