Apologies that its a litttle hard to read. I was gonna make it less wordy/verbal and easier to read but ah fuck it lol.
if Oda really wanted her to join, she would have at WCI or maybe beginning of Wano, when they paid tribute to Pedro too. She's a lost cause now unfortunately.
I like Yamato and I love Jinbei but I'm having to give up on Carrot given how Oda AWFULLY wrote her this arc, both when he did show her vs Perospero and thus overall but also how she didn't exist/be relevant/do anything for the rest of the arc too.
Carrot had seriously amazing potential and was written so well from Zou to WCI imo. She was a really promising addition to the crew potentially and fitted in so naturally, it felt like she was a SH after all. Some called her the Vivi of the New World and said she wouldn't join due to that, maybe they were right all along? But at least Vivi got to be an actual Strawhattoo temporarily, she was their nakama for a while...
