The seed

The payoff

Earliest known caller

(Unrecorded.)

Why this matters

The Straw Hat recruit-on-first-meeting grammar: Luffy offers the musician slot on instinct, the recruit accepts immediately, and formal induction is deferred to the arc’s end. Mirrors the musician-slot articulated all the way back at Ch.0094/Ch.0303. Cross-link Brook, Luffy, Straw Hat Recruitment Pattern.
