Pretty sure Oda is just a contrarian at this point, he introduces Carrot and baits people and decides to not do anything with her, at the cost of the story, he does the same with Yamato does nothing with her, at the cost of the story. People found out probably his ending of the OP was just destroying the red Line with ancient weapons so now he's doing this rtarded retcon of the world is under water. He blasts an island off the map and a year later he's sending the gorosei randomly to fight in terrain instead of using the massive island destroying weapon.

This is just a rtarded hype fest now
 
he introduces Carrot and baits people and decides to not do anything with her
But he actually did a lot with her:
- He made her have the journey of her life
- He made her have the most traumatic moment of her life
- He made her have the best time of her life
- He made her have the biggest defeat of her life

Technically, Carrot's journey is not over. She is just "on the side" for the moment.

Yeah and what was the point of her journey? Besides making people who noticed stuff to go, oh yeah lookout is a cool role that the SH should have.

Oh wait they don't care because swordman did sword thing and it was peak

Well..

Creating a character.

By putting her on an "wonderfull" journey, you give Carrot a new vision of life that she will seek forever
By putting her with the strawhat, you setup her place in the crew
By making her lose someone for her lore-specific reason, you give her a potential purpose
By giving her an humiliating defeat, you are creating the ground for a future inner conflict

I don't know if that's what Oda is doing. But what he placed are the specific pieces of the creation of a complex character.

Now, I think that Carrot only needs to hear one word to give her the motivation to seek her purpose.

I hate myself for sounding like a disillusioned Carrot fan from one of @Mr. Reloaded's fanfics, but this is too true. Like what was even the point of having Carrot and Yamato tag along and bond with the crew with all their talk of wanting to go out to sea and explore the world when they just show up only to disappear without a proper sendoff in the most unsatisfying and lackluster ways imaginable?

At least with Yamato she was only introduced in the literal last stretch of Wano and her character never amounted to anything more than being an annoying Oden larper with sideboobs, but you had Carrot tagging along with the Straw Hats for almost a decade and LOda giving her familial bonding moments with almost every crew member that wasn't on Wano during that time only to just make her disappear without a freaking word, effectively making you wonder why she was even with them at all, especially since she never had a deeper role to play like being on a secret mission for Zou.

Its like if Vivi's journey with the Straw Hats ended the moment they arrived in Alabasta and Vivi split off from them to go stay in that sand-buried village while the Straw Hats solved everything by themselves without ever seeing or mentioning Vivi again as they get chased off by Smoker once its over, with the audience only seeing her for one panel at near the end where her father says that he needs her to become queen.
