I don't care about what Oda says, I only care about the story.
I'm not giving a take here. This was a course on storytelling. I'm not giving an opinion with this thread here lol.
Maybe you missed a few thing but what I defended with Carrot was a theory.
>> This is part of a theory,
>> This is not an theory, this is the explanation of a technique.
What I'm doing with this thread is not an opinioni or a theory (beside the little paragraph about the skills of the crew) this is the explanation of an objective technique of storytelling.
It was always there. A sharp mind should be able do predict gear 5 only with gear 2 and 3
Oda never disagreed with me entirely. My take was that Carrot was too important to be a side character and that the only explanation for that was that she would end up on the crew. The reality is that she became queen instead. I was half right.
