Why this matters

Oda plants the central environmental puzzle of the arc as a literal contradiction in the dialogue — a dying man’s “it’s so cold” laid directly over a panel of a burning sea. The negative-space technique (the freezing half is reported, not yet shown) sets up the bisected-island reveal. Cross-link Punk Hazard.
