The seed
Smoker Ch. 175 p. 10:
“From the moment those two joined forces, there’s been more at stake than just the fate of this country. If they’re not stopped, the whole world could be in trouble.”
First on-page Smoker doctrine reframing the Alabasta arc as beyond-Alabasta-tier stakes. The Crocodile-Robin alliance is named as the structural target — not Crocodile alone, not Robin alone.
Why this matters
Pre-loads Robin’s forward-canon historian-of-Ohara role: the whole-world stakes the Marines fear is the True History / Void Century stakes that Robin’s Poneglyph-reading ability would unlock. Crocodile’s actual Alabasta motive confirms the whole-world stakes read.
