The seed
What it predicts
- The cover-serial-pre-arc-antagonist register (cf. Buggy’s Crew Adventure Chronicles, Diary of Koby-Meppo, Wapol’s Omnivorous Hurrah) primes the reader for an upcoming East-Blue arc featuring this character.
- Forward-canon: Hachi is one of the Arlong Pirates’ top officers in the East-Blue / Arlong Park arc.
- The serial-installment numbering (Vol. 4) implies Vols. 1-3 ran in Ch. 0182-0184; Vols. 2 + 3 are already canonized in vault (Lets Go Home / Panda Shark Rescue).
