Wrong. You are purposely ignoring multitudes of panels from the moment she appears from the first time, passing through her second introduction toward the death of Pedro, passing through her Sulong moment up until her moment with Sanji. You are calling Carrot "Larrot", there is logically no world where you can objectively look at the story and find panels where Carrot shine.
This is called a bias and the story proves you wrong.
Carrot and Pedro were used as ally and Look-outs. There is therefore no replacement of any strawhats of any kind. You are interpretating the story here.
You just denied you credibility as an analyst with you first sentence.
For your information : From a structural and outlining perspective, almost NO character (in the entirerity of the story) came even close to the treatment of Carrot. That transformation was unique. Why ? Because here Oda mixed Wonder and femininity, with feralness, strenght and mystic.
That is litterally something that is UNPRECEDENTED in the WHOLE story. There is a reason why you can see some reactionners talk about this chapter/moment as almost "not One Piece". Because here Oda is reaching very far into the depth of magical and mythical inspirations. Even Luffy's transformations don't come even close to the mystical aspect of this moment.
This transformation was not highlighted and so impactfull because it was a show of strenght from one of the mink. No. It was such an impactfull and highlighted moment because it was a show of splendor from a character that up until then did not shine to much. Therefore if this chapter indeed gave us what Mink were really capable of, it highlighted first and foremost the potential and the gracefullness of Carrot as a fighter. That's why the very last panel of this chapter is not a comment about the mink tribe.. but a little smile from Carrot.
And it was setup that way for the mink. So if Oda wants to make Carrot fight, he will find a way, might it be the moon or an artificial one. The lack of the moon is therefore not a good excuse. It would be like saying "Oda can't make Luffy fight because Luffy has a stamina limite" this would negate that Oda is the writer here and in the words of Stan Lee: If he wants to make a character win, the character WILL win.
Wrong. Carrot has done the look out job four times now. Once before the arrival on the island of Whole cake. Second just after the death of Pedro. Third after she wakes up from her moon power (note that nobody was at the post meanwhile) and fourth after the departure of Totland and the arrival to Wano.
Wrong. Carrot's float in base form, meaning that she can change her course while in midair (she is the only mink able to do that to date) and fly in Sulong. This was clearly inked in the storyduring her moment in 888 and 889. Flying is best possible capacity to have for a centry posted in the crow's nest. As chapter 888 clearly shown.
Those are not writing skills, I'm not writing anything. My skills are analytic (I know how to write stories but this is different).
You see, youreally thought through you arguments before you throw them at an analyst : Chopper while being the same age, was completely petrified by his fear of being seen as a monster. While he would have loved to see how the sea is, he was to afraid to even bring the subject. Carrot is different, she loves the sea and is not afraid of taking what she wants. And Oda constructed her that way :
- Carrot choosed to attack Zoro
- Carrot choosed to sneak on the Sunny
- Carrot choosed to take on the role of Pedro for herself
- Carrot choosed to face Daifuku's fleet with her Sulong form
- Carrot choosed to attack Perospero
Carrot is a taker and this is only one of her quality as Oda as CLEARLY constructed Carrot as a strawhat (Post / Dynamic / Moral PIllar / tragedy / Actions / Comedy / Quirk / relationships etc.) ....
But..
The fact that Carrot wants to go out to sea doesn't mean that she will do that at first. This is something I was keeping for a bit later, but there are reason to think that Carrot will feel useless after the war. After all, Carrot is constructed around the myth of the jade rabbit of the moon. In the myth, the rabbit is unable to fullfill the needs of an old man in provision, so in fear of feeling useless.. the rabbit throw himself in the fire. He is later rewarded by the old man (being in fact the jade emperor) by being sent on the moon. This would be the reason why we can see a rabbit on the face of the moon. My guess is that Carrot will be torn apart by a desire to go at see while thinking taht she doesn't deserve it.. This is where Wanda (in my mind)will come into play and convince Carrot to go.
I'm meant that whole cake was part of Carrot "backstory"
But a 8 year old can become a SHogun ? Don't bring age to the table, it's meaningless.
- Yes it does, but it's just a logical result of how Carrot was portrayed. Inu and Neko are Scabbard, Carrot is the representation of the minks, even today and even in the meta. That why you can see carrot on the Minks Vivre card.
- You are inventing here. Carrot as a PERFECT dynamic with the crew with Chopper calling her litterally is "little Sis" something that no strawhat ever did. Don't mix up a bit of Garchu with true relationships.
- Ok
- Any casual reader or any artist can tell you that Carrot's design is the best by FAR.
- "The Raizo is safe" does not concern only Neko and Inu but ALL the mink. And if this is indeed a very powerfull moment Carrot had powerfull ones too. But this moment is not a good comparison as it is literally one of the best moment in the entire story.
Nah. But I guess you will soon understand why.
No this is what a real story analysis is. I know you guyz are not used to that too much as most youtubers are just simily conspiracy theorists but this doesn't negate the fact behind those analysis. If this is my interpretation and I could be wrong.. this is also the most logical and simplest answers to what the story shows us.
Some things are not up for debate. They are described well enough in the story not to have any debate about them.
