Rayleigh The Notorious Ex-Pirate Coating Specialist Setup

Status: pending · Technique: chekhov-explicit, negative-space

The seed

The payoff

(Forward, in-window — Rayleigh’s reveal as “Dark King” / Roger Pirates’ first mate lands later in the Sabaody arc. The synthesizer for that chapter flips this to confirmed and records the payoff. Keep pending here.)

Why this matters

A reliable tell that the next entrance is a major-figure reveal.
