Here is a more accurate deconstruction of this panel:
Point of focus in Yellow
Line of sight in red
Composition construction in blue
And Focus helpers in black.
See, the problem is that I'm both a writer and an artist. I don't like to brag, but with you guyz I don't have a choice. I possesse both knowledge to understand properly storytelling AND composition to a high degree. So when someone like you or Sigran tries to put my back against the wall on storytelling or composition.. I bite.
Here is the proof that your analysis is (partially) wrong. Carrot is INDEED a focus in this panel. Not the only one, but a focus nonetheless. She is here the secondary subject. Much like a hidden clew here.
In a panel of this importance, this is not normal. This is in fact really odd and SHOULD raises eyebrows.

Carrot, Nami, Luffy and Chopper are the quickest to hug someone.
Sanji being upset that 2 girls are hugging another guy instead of himself(lol) is also in-character.
The others are simply not as emotionally expressive as the 4 in the center.
