The seed

As Yamato escapes him down the hole Franky blasts in the floor, Shinobu charges Momonosuke: “It is imperative that you survive!!! …You are the one who must guide the world… to the dawn!!!” The “dawn” / awaited-figure prophecy (Toki Ch. 972; Wano’s sealed-border lore) is aimed directly at the living Kozuki heir. (Payoff forward of this window — pending.)

Why this matters

The awaited-figure / “dawn” prophecy is transferred onto the living Kozuki heir mid-raid, restaging Kozuki Oden’s dying creed (open Wano’s borders before “the world will begin to shift”) onto Momonosuke. A dead-character’s prophecy echoed through a living guardian’s charge — Oda’s standard inherited-will grammar.
