The seed
The payoff
(Pending — pre-loading the forward-canon rebel-army general advance on Alubarna, Ch. 0172+. The political event the rebel-army needed to justify general-mobilization has now occurred on-page in front of witnesses.)
Why this matters
The first city the Strawhats/Vivi ever set foot on Alabasta is the city the false-king publicly destroys to manufacture the rebellion’s casus belli. Operation Utopia’s coup-architecture requires both the trigger atrocity (Nanohana burning) and the assassinated leader (Koza shot) to cohabit the same beat — the chapter delivers both simultaneously.
