- Revolutionnaries are not here
- The grand fleet only has the vivre card of Luffy
- Garp is not here and has no reason to protect Wano
- Same for Koby and smoker
If the gouvernment is trying to annexe Wano, only a strong power will be able to do that.
The scabbards are injured and kinda powerless right now, even them couldn't do much against Kaido.. so against an admiral..
Wano needs Luffy, but it needs more, a caution, someone with high power, enough power to train Momo in order for him to really protect the country. And the only person available is Yamato.
Because yes, Yamato has been a mentor figure until now for Momo. That's what Oda did during all their encounters.
Carrot IS a special mink. This was cleared by the way she was portrayed by the story and the way she interacted with the strawhats.
This is undeniable.
I think that like a lot of people here, you are confusing "joining the crew" and "being recruted". To join. Carrot has done
MORE THAN ENOUGH In whole cake. In fact she did more in whole cake that a LOT of strawhats before they joined. And Wano
DOESN'T NEGATE what happened in whole cake! It's only to be recruted that Carrot will have to shine a bit more.
Like many strawhats as I already explained multiple time.
Whole cake is her backstory
It was implied, so implied in fact that the anime literally expended on that making Carrot mentionned that she would go forward in direction of the dawn.
Because we are in the YONKO SAGA. We are not only in Wano.
Whole cake is part of the entire storyline of this saga, and ignoring whole cake is like ignoring setups and parts of the story. Carrot is only hidded for the second part of this story, the first part, carrot was in COMPLETELY.
What the fudge is this mentality?
------
Subversion dialogues are not twists. They are tools to subvert expectation. And they can be spotted early. That's what I did there.
Because you are only analysing the surface here.
Robin's job is not to be an archeologist. If that was the case, there would be a LOT more tumbs and corpse to search for in the story. Robin's job is to be a
CAP GIVER. Basically she is like Christopher Columbus (minus the killing and enslaving parts) she is not here to stear the ship, or to be a gunner or to navigate.. she is here to give us the ROAD toward the end point of the story and toward the next artefact that will give us wordlbuilding's development.
Robin is the one who guides the crew. She is the one who opens the road for them.
Now, let's go back to that introduction shall we ? Chapter 114
First, you will go check the title of the chapter, both in english (multiple traductions) and in japanese. Most of the time, Oda is giving us two meaning in a chapter's title. Now really think about this title and come back to the following argument.
Second, look at what Robin is doing in this chapter, first with the hat of Luffy, then with the crew. Ask yourself the question .. why is she doing it ?
You will have - logically - understood the whole point of Robin's introduction and why her post, was hinted
since the beginning.
Oden didn't know Yamato. He sacrified nothing for her personnally.
No. By watching this video you will understand that having a dynamic with the crew is part of a very CLEAR pattern in the recruitment of each strawhats:
(this is not me)
Studying the crew doesn't make Yamato closer to the strawhats, in fact it makes her closer to bartholomeo: a fan.
Luffy was about to hit gear fourth. Yamato didn't save Luffy, she only put out Ulti faster.
The reason behind Yamato's action is not to help Luffy, It's to protect Wano.
