Why this matters
A textbook chekhov-explicit + dialogue-from-dead-character overlay: Oda lays a dead man’s written prophecy directly over the panel of the living next generation, fusing inherited-will theme with the milestone chapter’s structural turn. Pairs with Toki’s Dying Prophecy Casts Nine Shadows Across Twenty Years (the twenty-year/nine-shadows clock) and feeds What is the One Piece / the Kozuki cause.
