The seed

The payoff

(Forward of this window — whether and how the leaked Poseidon secret spreads and matters is forward. Keep status: pending.)

Why this matters

Oda stages the deadliest secret in the world (an Ancient Weapon’s living identity) and has it leak in the same breath it is spoken — a textbook chekhov-explicit + negative-space install. The eavesdropper is the established treacherous opportunist Caribou, who has every motive to sell or exploit it.
