It didn't happen though, lmao. That's the point. Luffy talks about all the people important to him in shaping his will to defeat Kaido. Momo, Tama, Kin emon...even dead Pedro from almost 200 chapters ago. Yet he doesn't mention squat about Kaido's own flesh and blood daughter who has lamented to Luffy how much Kaido abused and how she wants him gone.
Luffy just doesn't give a fuck about her. He cares about Yamao about as much as he cares about X Drake. She's just random strong ally he met last minute who wants to help out. She has no meaningful bearing on the narrative of the arc and is an afterthought in both Luffy and the readers' minds.
The sake brewers used to preach about how significant it was that Luffy was defeating Yamao's oppressor for her...Yet here he is, literally shouting out the meaningful people to him, and completely ignoring Yamao. She's not even the 4th most significant person relevant to Luffy in Kaido's defeat. When you also include in Raizo, Inu, Neko, Kiku, Hyogoro and Yasuie, only then might Yamao be remotely relevant in Luffy's mind. Not even in the top 10.
He just doesn't care. To think there's any chance she becomes a straw hat when her and her struggles are THAT irrelevant to the crew and Luffy, is an absolute joke.
