Status: confirmed (payoff Ch. 411) · Technique: chekhov-explicit + intra-chapter-setup-payoff

The seed

The payoff

The water-counter is set up and cashed within a single chapter (Ch. 411): Nami’s real-weather staff produces water, neutralizing Kalifa’s soap-slipperiness coating, and she closes the duel with a Fata Morgana + Thunder Ball finish. Self-contained → status: confirmed, payoff_chapter: 0411.

Why this matters

A textbook Oda intra-chapter Chekhov weakness: the rule (water undoes the soap) is introduced as an observation mid-fight and immediately becomes the decisive tactic. The pattern — a flashy Devil-Fruit power undone by a mundane environmental counter the protagonist reasons out in real time — recurs across the series.
