Why this matters
A chekhov-explicit power tell wrapped in negative-space: the mechanic is stated aloud (“based on a child’s imagination,” “would they be stronger if the kids knew the real thing?”) yet the owner and the fruit are withheld — Oda names the rule but hides the hand. Ties the Holy Knights’ Elbaf operation to an emotion-harvesting / testing purpose against Collun and the village children. Cross-link Holy Knights, Gunko.
