The seed

Why this matters

First on-page Mr. 4 visual debut as solo title-splash composition. The pastoral composition (livestock-handler-with-feed-pails) is a wardrobe-foreshadow for Mr. 4’s lazy/slow-tier register and Lassoo-the-dog-pistol partnership — the dog-like wagging creature in the cover is a visual-tell for the forward-canon Lassoo (Mr. 4’s Devil-Fruit-eating bazooka-dog).

Predicted payoff

• Forward-canon: Mr. 4 + Lassoo + Ms. Merry Christmas Officer-Agent set-piece at Alubarna (Vol. 21+).
