nobody is gonna be forced to speak positive
Indeed. The purpose is not to force anyone. If you think that it is, you still do not understand what I propose.
It's not on you to deem it negative and decide that it needs to be changed.
You have your battles, I have mines. I'll try to change what I think needs to change.
No one is gonna take seriously the words of a hypocrite.
Again. You say that word a lot without ever explaining how I'm actually just that. I'm quite a straight forward guy. And I don't wanna brag but in term of values, coherency and cohesion, I'm quite strong. So....
Why do you think Carrot not being the one to defeat Perospero was good writing?
I've explained that multiple time in the Nakama thread back in the days.
Carrot's journey is all about a few thematics:
- Wonder
- The discovering of the sea and it's danger
- Loss of innocence
- Inherited Will
Carrot is a young girl who was completely naive about the sea and her place in the world. Once she made the choice to join Luffy, she discovered a lot of wonder and a lot of danger. She loved every part of it even after the loss of her father figure.
The problem is that Carrot didn't understood the lesson fully and rushed toward danger in the thought to avenge Pedro. This is something that has been teased already in whole cake against Brulee or Katakuri. Carrot is like Luffy, she doesn't think, she rushes. But she is much more naive and was too confident in her own capacities. So, she underestimated her opponent and overestimate her power against Perospero.
She lost, logically. Nekomamushi is not all that, he understand the danger and his capacities.
Now.. Why was she the one to lose ?
Well simple : She needed to lose to understand REALLY that her power are not infinite and that the war is not a playgame but a real danger. This lose and humiliation was Oda telling Carrot that she needs to grow, make a choice in her life and stop seeing the sea just like a fairfest. The sea is both wonderous and dangerous.
Through this loss, Carrot lost the innocent part of her that prevented her to mature into a ruler and possibily a more important character later.
This loss makes perfect sence for her.
