The seed
Pearl’s combat-shout is ”…SURPRISE!!!” (Ch. 59 page 7); the chapter also references “Pearl’s surprises” (plural, page 4) — implying a suite of named attacks. The grammar follows the standard Oda named-attack-suite-per-fighter convention.
The payoff
Forward-payoff: Ch. 60-61 will name additional Pearl-attacks (Pearl Stuff, Pearl-Combat-Combo, etc.).
Why this matters
The plural Pearl’s Surprises phrasing is the in-text signal that a suite of attacks is coming. Track the iteration of named-attacks across Pearl’s on-page presence.
