Why this matters

The classic Oda mid-arc misdirection: an authoritative on-page accusation (Government → Galley-La → the town) redirects an entire city’s and the reader’s suspicion onto a Straw Hat, concealing the true antagonist (CP9) and Robin’s coerced position. Luffy’s unconditional refusal to believe it pre-keys the rescue-arc moral spine. Cross-link Nico Robin, CP9, Iceberg, Luffy, Iceberg Names Nico Robin As His Masked Attacker (the merged “two assassins” second-intruder tell lives there).
