The seed
Forward-tell
The cover-story arc-grammar is now two-arc — Buggy-survival (Parts 1-19) → Ritchie’s-pirate-crew (Part 1+). Each arc explores a different sub-character’s adventures. This is the first second-act cover-story in the series.
Forward-payoff candidates
- Subsequent Parts (likely Ch. 63+ for Part 2)
- The Kumate Tribe may recur as a cover-story element
- The Ritchie-as-captain compositional grammar may pay off in later Ritchie-appearances (Loguetown, Impel Down)
