The seed
Why this matters
The chapter installs Luffy’s crew-as-non-negotiable-priority-at-Grand-Line-threshold doctrine — the first creature in the Grand Line tries to take Luffy’s crew, and Luffy’s response is to attack it personally, not to mourn or flee. Cross-link Straw Hat Recruitment Pattern — operationalizes the Ch. 90 captain-as-helpless-without-crew doctrine in its first post-recruitment-complete combat-context. Forward-pattern: every later crew-is-scattered arc (Sabaody Kuma-scattering, Zou-vs-Whole-Cake split) re-keys to this Ch. 102 prototype install.
