The seed
Ch. 151 pp. 14-17 — Luffy stretches his rubber body taut between Wapol’s pulling tongue-grip and a castle anchorage; Chopper releases (FWO…ING / FWAP / WOOINGG) and Luffy launches skyward as Gum-Gum Bowgun. First on-page Bowgun-style elastic-projectile attack for the series. Pre-loads forward-canon Gum-Gum Bowgun deployments. The chapter title (The Skies of Drum) names the sky-borne attack trajectory.
The payoff
Why this matters
Extends the Ch. 146 Armée de l’Air slingshot-grammar (Chopper held Luffy’s feet, Luffy stretched-and-snapped) into a true projectile-launch: Luffy’s body itself is now ammunition, fired skyward. The anchor + bowstring + release rig pre-loads forward-canon Gum-Gum Bowgun deployments where the rubber-body is a recurring elastic-projectile weapon. Structurally pairs with the Vice King / Bazooka Wapol counter-escalation — the chapter’s symmetric finale is body-as-projectile (Luffy) vs body-as-cannon (Wapol).
