The seed
Cross-links (distinct beat — do NOT fold): the kill-order here is a sibling seed to The Five Elders Reveal A Legendary Devil Fruit Was Renamed To Erase Its True Name From History (the rename/erasure, @1037) and The World Government Disappeared The Prison Guard Who Spoke Of The Sun God Nika (the disappearance, @1018) — all three circle the same suppressed truth from different angles (kill-order vs rename vs disappearance). Keep as its own note + cross-link.

Why this matters
The series’ apex authority issues a kill-order against a rookie mid-battle against a Yonko over something it knows only by rumor — a maximally-loaded negative-space tell that what makes Luffy dangerous is not his strength but a hidden quality (the true nature of his Devil Fruit). Oda’s standard “the powerful fear the unnamed thing” grammar, here stacked with two prior suppression seeds (the renamed fruit @1037, the disappeared prison guard @1018) that all converge on the same withheld truth. Links Void Century and Ancient Kingdom, Nature of Devil Fruits, Five Elders, Sun God Nika, Luffy.
