Strawhats Deploy X-Mark Fellowship Test On Each Other Pre-Alubarna

Status: paid-off · Technique: chekhov-explicit, prop-tell

The seed

Ch. 0157 install operationalized on-page Ch. 0183 p. 2 by Zoro. First Strawhat-tier on-page deployment of the X-mark test.

The payoff

The Ch. 0157 X-mark left-arm bandage = imposter-counter install is now operational. First on-page operational deployment.

Why this matters

Cashes the Ch. 0157 Mane-Mane-no-Mi counter-doctrine into an operational tool right at the moment Bon Clay’s impersonation-threat is most acute. Demonstrates Oda’s install-then-deploy pattern at chapter-distance scale (~25 chapters).
