Pudding's Candy Jacket Bullets Wedding Assassination Weapon

Status: pending · Technique: chekhov-explicit, prop-tell

The seed

• The target is named: “the six Vinsmokes,” to be “dyed red with blood” at the ceremony (p. 3) — fixing the Vinsmoke at six on-page members and pre-loading the wedding shooting.

Why this matters

Oda stages the murder weapon a full arc-beat before the ceremony so the eventual wedding shooting is pre-loaded — a gun shown firing, with its use time-bombed to a named day. Payoff is forward of this batch’s window (window.hi = 0857), so the seed is held pending .
