Why this matters
First on-page submersible warship in the series. Establishes underwater-capable vessels as canonical Grand Line technology and pre-loads the broader underwater-vessel tech-axis (forward-canon: coated ships at the Sabaody / Fish-Man Island descent, marine submarines, Trafalgar Law’s Polar Tang). Within the Drum arc the submarine also functions as a character-tell: Wapol’s pirate-era resources exceed an ordinary deposed king’s — the kingdom- scale industrial vessel signals that his exile was not a powerless one. The vessel is the same submersible warship the Bliking already established in Ch. 131 (where it surfaced beneath the Going Merry); Ch. 135 is the chapter that frames its submersible capability as a notable first. Filed at fringe confidence as a world-building tech-seed.
