The seed
Why this matters
First canonical on-page bilateral Zoro/Sanji rivalry-contest with explicit numerical stakes — most kilos of meat wins. Forward-pattern: every later arc re-keys the contest-with-numerical-stakes grammar:
- Davy Back Fight — numbered-event contest format.
- Enies Lobby — tower-floor-count rivalry.
- Whole Cake Island — infiltration-with-rivalry-pairing.
- Wano Onigashima — floor-count-rivalry on the raid.
The fact that both Zoro and Sanji abandon the rest of the crew simultaneously (leaving Nami, Vivi, Usopp, Karoo all alone on the ship) is the abandonment-by-rivalry comedy-grammar that Nami’s “why does it always end up like this?” installs as a recurring crew-leadership weakness.
