Source context

From Vault/Chapters/0027.md:

> [!evidence|ch=27] Pages 6-7 — Klahadore's three-year deep-cover butler infiltration
> Usopp's verbatim summary: *"He's been posing as a butler for three years just to rob you!! He said he tricked his way into your service to get his hands on your fortune! He's a pirate captain!!"* — the *long-con-villain* template enters the series here. The Buggy/Mohji/Cabaji template was *visible, themed, theatrical pirates*; the Klahadore template is *invisible, domestic, plausible-deniability pirate*. Both will recur (visible-themed = Krieg, Arlong, Wapol, Crocodile-as-Sir-Crocodile, Doflamingo-as-King; invisible-domestic = Kuro, Bellamy-as-friendly-pirate, Crocodile-as-Mr.-0, CP9-as-Galley-La-workers, Sugar-as-child, etc.). The *deep-cover infiltration* pattern is installed here. See proposed [[Foreshadowing/Klahadore Butler Pirate Disguise]] and [[Foreshadowing/Long Con Villain Template]] (track for later).
