Again, I never invent things when it comes to One Piece. I
always base my reasonning on narrative facts.
Yup, and as I explained, I gave you the point proving my point.
The only question mark is the motherflame:
It could work, but looking at the facts of the story, the weapon not working is not an impossibility. Simple narrative logic.
You are right on the fact that I extend the post of Carrot, in reality, I should only call this post "lookout" as 888 is focused on the post.
But looking at the end of the chapter, this extention is needed. And its coherent with the job of Carrot on Zou.
Not officially no. But there is no need for a role to be officialy stated in the story for a strawhat to get the post.
Indeed, to be a ship guard, Carrot would need to be able to split in two entity. One staying on the ship, one going on the adventure.
A sentry is simply a Sentinelle + a Lookout. Its the closest things you have of the job of Carrot. It has specificities of a guard but its not a shipguard. Its a lookout that can be mobile and go in ennemy territory if a danger approach.
No. Again Sentry =/= ship guard.
Metaphorical yes, physical, no.
lol no
No only. Its more than that.
Again, its not because a post hasn't been officially stated that its not pertinent.
