The ultimate anti-Carrot post.
This Carrot for Straw Hat is a thing that should have definitely died with Oro Jackson. But,for my annoyance,still there some peoples here,in this place that we're striving for turn better than Oro Jackson,hammering in this thing which tons of stuff in manga can prove as wrong.
Here,i'm listing every argument of peoples to with the rabbit girl and explaining because every of them is nothing more than bullshit.
Peoples say "Carrot is a great Mink character".
Great Mink character? She have the predicable design of a anthropomorfic rabbit girl character,the predicable powers of a rabbit girl character,and her own name is the most cliche anyone could ever give to a anthropomorfic rabbit girl character.
Is a insult say she's so smartly crafted as Bepo and Chopper.
Bepo is a polar bear character.
-His name is smartly crafted of One Piece's way.
-So are his personality and skills.
-He has a real history as Mink character and Heart Pirates's member.
Come read.
Chopper is a animal character of different type,and member of One Piece's main crew
-He has a real history as animal character and Straw Hat Crew's member.
-His introduction make Sanji's of trash.
-His power set has endlessly more individuality than Su Long Form.
-He not have much personality,but his journey is about find out himself.
Peoples say "She has the inherited will from Pedro of participate of the Dawn of World"
That four little panels about it are the most weak and meaningless history in One Piece. Isn't nothing comparable with Franky's history,which made clear how there is special things in him that turns him worthy of participate of Dawn and how will be exciting follow his journey until then. Even Kyros,the best Straw Hats's ally,has a more equal biography to their than her.
Peoples say "Carrot is powerful,has a quirky fighting style,shined a lot in Totto Land,and with Su Long Form will be a valuable member in Straw Hats"
As i said above,her leap power is a predicable skill in a anthropomorfic rabbit girl character. Isn't smartly crafted of One Piece's way as characters with Geppo in their power set and with Devil Fruits that somehow give them flying powers.
The rule about characters individualities in One Piece is, same existing groups of characters with powers of the same category,each one must stand out from others somehow. We have tons of characters whose fighting styles revolve around marksmanship,but each one stand out from others,and tons of characters which are genius and use their intelligence to fight,but each one stand out from others.
Carrot's fighting gloves are actually a totally common thing in Mokomo Dukedom,
confirmed through the background Mink Keith.
Like this,her fighting with hands is nothing unique as the wrestling of Franky and Oven mixed with mechanical body and heat powers.
She not deserve be praised by her Su Long Form nor by her "feats" in Totto Land. What she did? She flied away of Daifuku's attacks,making him destroy his fleet while tried land attacks in her. Peoples say she "humiliated" Daifuku when she used a cheap trick in him? Acting as she did something equal to this?
And Oven,a Daifuku's crewmate of power equal to him,proved shortly after how Su Long Form isn't a world shaking thing. Pekoms,a Mink far older and experient than Carrot and famous wanted criminal,turned Su Long in front to him,thinking he would do with him the same Chopper did with Kumadori,but Oven destroyed him as if was the easiest thing in world. Oven teached for all universe how Carrot is trash for characters as him face to face,and how any character with advanced power and bright mind can easily dispose a Su Long Mink.
And Carrot's base power is far far from Dellinger's level. So,as she couldn't ever transform in Ennies Lobby,would be useless against the CP9.
Peoples say "Carrot's personality is unique and great"
The only personality she have is be annoyingly innocent and childish. She's 15 years old and not even know what are thunders and lightnings. What she can do alone in world? Chopper becamed a pirate when 15 years old,and same never having been outside Drum Island before,he already had total knowdledge about outside and not needed much orientation of others. And her desire for adventure is nothing comparable with Chopper's seek for himself and his place in life after a beginning of life whole of pain and loneliness.
Peoples say "Carrot is perfect for Straw Hat Crew's lookout"
All those times she used binoculars on Sunny's top never showed it as something special in her that only her can bring for crew. That's one of Van Augur's roles in Blackbeard Pirates due his observation power:

Carrot isn't highlighted like this,so it's pure headcanon about her.
Peoples say "Her ultimate development for join the crew must be she fights and defeat Perospero in Onigashima War"
As i'm teaching here,she's a trash fighter and trash character,so what she must do is recognize her own worthlessness and let Perospero find a worthy opponent,just like was showed Rebecca's worthlessness under Diamante and his true opponent was Kyros.
If no one can truly argue against all these things,so all these peoples are giving nonexistent value to a garbage character,using emotion over logic and sucking in read and interpret One Piece.
