The seed
At Ch. 197 pp. 14-19 Koza waves white flags atop the palace approach and shouts both armies down (“the battle is over!!”). The square goes silent — then BOOM. BOOM. BOOM…!!! and “the king’s soldiers shot Koza!!” This is the second time the rebel-leader is shot at the moment he tries to stop the war (the first: Ch. 171, shot by Bon-Clay-impersonating-Cobra). The pattern — de-escalation overruled by an engineered shooting — is Baroque Works’ civil-war-perpetuation method. Watch the forward-canon reveal of who fired and whether the surrender holds.
The payoff
(Forward-canon — pending. Watch the reveal of who actually fired the shots and whether the surrender holds.)
Why this matters
The double-shooting-of-the-de-escalating-rebel-leader is Baroque Works’ structural method for keeping the civil war alive: every time the leader who could end the war steps forward unarmed, an engineered shooting overrules him (Ch. 0171 Bon-Clay-as-Cobra; Ch. 0182 false-flag cannonball during the South-Gate plea; Ch. 0197 the king’s soldiers). The pattern exemplifies Oda’s de-escalation-overruled-by-a-third-party-trigger engine that drives the entire Operation Utopia plot.
