The seed
Why this matters
The denial is functionally a lie; Nojiko’s outburst is the chapter’s emotional-pivot-on-the-lie. The chapter installs the Nami-as-protective-liar grammar — every public statement Nami makes about her allegiance is operational cover, not content.
Forward-payoff: the arc-climax emotional-collapse scene (Ch. 93-94 expected) where Nami finally drops the cover and asks Luffy for help. The re-claim Bell-mère as my mother beat is the structural payoff of this seed.
