The seed

Ch. 0183 p. 18. Chopper: And he has a dog that works with him!! First on-page reference to Mr. 4’s dog-partner.

Why this matters

First on-page reference to Mr. 4’s animal-partner (forward-canon: Lassoo — the Inu Inu no Mi Model: Dachshund Zoan fruit dachshund-shaped four-legged-bazooka). The Ch. 0160 Spiders-Café pair-grammar (Mr. 4 + Ms. Merry Christmas) is now structurally a trio. The dog is not visually shown this chapter; only its operational existence is named-by-reference — the visual debut is pending.
