Why this matters

A villain naming the hero’s buried trauma is a classic Oda backstory-trigger: the antagonist’s gloat pre-loads a flashback the reader is now primed to receive, recasting the protagonist’s “rational” alliance plan as an emotional vendetta. Cross-link Trafalgar Law, Vergo, Doflamingo.
