The seed
Sanji + Vivi + Chopper run a decoy-lure + infrastructure-sabotage rescue tactic in Ch. 175:
- Chopper draws Baroque Works pursuit through Rainbase’s main streets as the visible-decoy (pp. 3, 7).
- Sanji + Vivi run the actual rescue-route through back streets.
- Sanji destroys the bridge connecting Rainbase to the Rain Dinners casino (pp. 4-6, Bad Manners Kick Course → bridge collapse) to seal Crocodile out.
- Crocodile is cut off from the cage (pp. 5-7, “OH NO!!! THE BRIDGE COLLAPSED!!!”).
First on-page Strawhat-engineered infrastructure-sabotage of a Baroque Works asset.
Why this matters
The tactic pre-loads the Ch. 184+ Alubarna grand-decoy formation (where each Strawhat plays a different Vivi-decoy through Alubarna’s streets while Vivi runs the actual stop-the-Kohza-rebellion route) — the Mr. Prince operation is the structural-template install.
