- Except the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland was the one who was leading Alice everywhere. Carrot was passive throughout most of WCI till she needed to provide action and incentive to be helpful.
- Yeah she does, but Pedro was an experienced Mink who had a history with Whole Cake Island and Big Mom and was pretty strong on his own. He was also sent to keep Pekoms in check.
- She honestly has been helping the Straw Hats since they arrived on Zou and when they headed out to sea for no reason on her part outside "adventure." Pedro's last words alluded more to why she should know more of why their journey is so important. So important enough for Pedro to sacrifice his life for them with no hesitation.
4. Pekoms exists. He was part of the original Nox Pirates before defecting, he knows the circumstances behind Pedro's lost lifespan, Pedro was the only one to calm him down in the case of Sulong, and Pekoms himself told Big Mom that Pedro was like a brother to him. If anyone would provide the drama, Pekoms was right there.
5. Once again, Pekoms exists. Hell, Carrot wasn't even supposed to be there. Her presence in WCI served very little narrative justification since she never moved the plot in a significant way, but Oda wouldn't do something random like that with a character like her for no reason.
6. She doesn't even know Tama and barely knows Shinobu, has never shown interest in being a vassal and only seems to hang out with the Straw Hats rather than her own tribe, and any of the current Minks that have more of a level of authority can form that bond.
