She still carry the doll on her left waist on second picture. she might think it works.
She carries the doll, but she knows it's not working. Momonosuke said it was an excuse for her to leave to fight Kaido:

Who is in favor of Carrot in here? I'm conflated that wise.

A part of mine wishes that for her good and the time she stuck, another contemplates the wasted potential that a different pick could entail.

Yes. But she still carries it and the fodders actually fall for it tho
This is true. If there's more to it than cheap humour, then perhaps Oda could have Jack go after her (after he defeats Inuarashi) in order to kill Momonosuke.

I don't think Oda wants to write Yamato as Jack's opponent, so I'm not really sold on this outcome, but I do think it's plausible.


Do you think yamato knows that kaido already downstair?
Well, Bao Huang said he's coming down for clean up:

I remember people were even trying to insert Pauly's name in the infobox on the Straw Hat Pirates page on Wikipedia (there was a SH page on WP before) even after they left W7...
Hahahahaha, holy shit, I kinda remember that too!! People wanted him so badly even after Luffy basically drew Franky while describing the perfect shipwright...can you imagine how much different this series would have been with Paulie blasting lasers and dancing in a Speedo?? :gokulaugh:
 
Carrot, on the other hand, is relentlessly irrelevant. Her being absent from this chapter isn’t even remotely surprising. She’s just one of a host of less important characters, like Raizo or Hawkins, and itβ€˜s clear that Oda is not prioritising her the way he is Yamato. There’s a big cast on Wano, and not ever character can be given screentime. Carrot isn’t getting much because she’s not very important, while Yamato has had a lot.
This strikes me as very shortsighted. Oda has kept Carrot a constant presence for 5 years for a reason. He killed Pedro, the first to die since Ace and WB, for a reason. He hasn't brought Carrot to the breaking point, beaten, unable to move onward, time not having come, just to leave her there.

Whether it adds up to becoming a Straw Hat is still in the air. But she has been pushed by Pedro to become more dynamic. She nor Oda have forgotten what he said, it's been repeated twice this battle. She’s very much relevant, and to act like Carrot won't mean anything of importance is just begging for egg on the face by the end of all this.

I will say this - for a character that has truly received less development than most secondary and tertiary figures in this series, it IS surprising that she’s hung on the periphery this long. Y’all know I don’t buy into the shit about Pedro’s will outstripping Roger’s or Ace’s, but I like what you said here about his sacrifice; I’m still not sure it meant that much in the grand scheme of Carrot’s arc since Perospero not only survived, but made it to Wano and already quelled the rabbit’s revenge plot once. Time could be running out for her to get the spotlight you want, but even if some of us don’t care for it, she probably won’t fully recede to the background if she doesn’t become an official Straw Hat.
 
@Cinera youre forgetting that we saw Yamato BEFORE Kaido spoke to Bao Hang, and she was already on the 3rd floor. We dont know where she was at the moment of the announcement, but she kept heading up. Kaido entered through the hole Linlin made and went straight for Momo, Yamato will take longer to get there (IF she goes) as shes further away, plus the enemies holding her back on the way. Lets see...
 
If Yamato does have the mythical Byakko fruit like people theorised, she could fly to Momonosuke like Kaido did. I read the White tiger has air manipulation abilities too.
