The seed
Why this matters
Reverse Mountain (Grand Line entry-point) is west of Loguetown. The westward tailwind speeds the Going Merry’s departure — third effect of the chapter’s storm-system, after (1) lightning destroys the execution platform and (2) downpour wets the Marine gunpowder.
Sets up the chapter-100 Grand-Line entry beat. Forward-canonical: the Dragon-wind (Ch. 100 — Dragon is canonized as the wind-supplier in the Loguetown departure-beat) re-keys to this Ch. 99 Marine-subordinate observation.
The chapter installs the wind as the third axis of the compound deus-ex-machina (see Storm Force Saves Luffy From Execution).
