The seed
What’s installed
The locusts designation is the Baratie-staff name for the Krieg-Pirates-reinforcement-wave. The naming-grammar is plague-class metaphor — locusts are biblical-plague entities that arrive in swarms and consume everything. The Baratie’s read of the Krieg fleet is plague-of-pirates.
Forward-question: is the locusts an in-universe pirate-classification (cf. the rampage-class or the calamities-class later in the series)? Or is it Baratie-staff slang? The Ch. 53 combat-payload will likely clarify.
Why this matters
Minor-tier seed but worth tracking. Oda’s named-before-shown grammar at sub-Warlord scale — the Krieg-reinforcement-wave is given a plague-metaphor designation by witnesses before the on-page combat. The named-by-witness pre-installation grammar continues from Ch. 50 (Krieg) → Ch. 52 (locusts).
