Why this matters
Luffy’s mystery mountain coinage is the first on-page Luffy-renames-Grand-Line-features comic-register beat. Luffy doesn’t engage with the technical-geography register Nami operates in; he renames every Grand-Line feature in kid-coinage terms. Forward-pattern: every later beat (Skypiea, Wano, Fishman Island, Whole Cake) re-keys here. Also installs Nami’s exasperated-with-Luffy navigator-affect as a recurring crew-dynamic.
