Jinbei Warns Luffy Do Not Fight Hody

Status: pending · Technique: chekhov-explicit, dialogue-from-absent-source

The seed

The payoff

(Forward of this window — kept pending. The Hody confrontation and the proof the warning was well-founded come later in the Fish-Man Island arc.)

Why this matters

A chekhov-explicit, dialogue-from-an-absent-source antagonist seed: the ally who knows the danger best names it and tells the hero to avoid it, which in shōnen grammar reliably foreshadows the inevitable clash. Spawned from the now-confirmed The Neptune Princes Carry Jinbeis Message For Luffy.
