The seed
First on-page Alabasta-defender self-immolation tier; establishes the kingdom-defends-itself-at-any-cost register that Pell’s forward-canon self-sacrifice arc-climax fulfills.
The payoff
(Forward-canon — pending. Pre-loads Pell’s Royal-Guard self-sacrifice arc-climax.)
Why this matters
The Royal Guard cannot beat a Warlord by power, only by sacrifice — the arc’s thesis that the kingdom’s strength is in its people’s will, not their muscle (cf. Crocodile’s Vivi’s strength is in her heart diagnosis, Crocodile Vivi’s Strength In Her Heart Diagnosis, Ch. 0177).
