Yamato has the strongest case right now.

- Heavy focus overall
- Quite possibly the strongest heavy hitting female ever (aside from BM and Smoothie if gets off her ass and does something this arc)
- Hints to a tragic flashback
- Revelvant to Luffy and Ace, which merits a backstory coming
- Hidden upper limit
- Redundant to the Scabbards IF she stays on Wano


Carrot current only saving grace is Oda actually allowing her to confront Perospero. I am rooting for her too, but she has less focus and less importance right now. If by any chance she gets a moderately decent flashback with Pedro all whilst exemplifying WHY helping lead the Strawhats to "dawn" is a big deal. She needs that to happen, but I also would assume that she would stowaway anyway on the ship like she did before or the Mink Kings with Oden.

Right now I expect Yamato to be the 11th, with Carrot becoming the "unexpected" 12th AFTER the arc ends and they sail on to the next island.

Then you have Vivi, who's importance not only needs to be reintroduced (which it clearly is since something drastic happened to Alabasta), but also needs to be tied to the Strawhats again. She has 2 roadblocks:

- First, she needs to have been saved or rescued by Sabo or Sai from the Reverie, if she wasn't captured. Leo left the Reverie and helped Pound during Bege's cover story so definitely not him.

- It has to be one of these 2 because they have Luffy's vivre card, she can't reach them otherwise. It can't be Koby, who does know about Luffy in Wano, because he went in the opposite direction to Amazon Lily.

- She'd have to be the centerpoint of relevance for the rest of the series. She already seems to be with Im holding her picture, but we have no idea as of yet what it all means.

Essentially Vivi needs to return to the crew to drive forward the plot for the final war. Her joining the crew could allow other kingdoms to feel like following the strawhats is a good thing. Plus, im sure she is moderately stronger.
 
There's a reason why Yamato is making his big impressive stand before Carrot does: he's the freakin' opening act. Carrot's the star attraction, and her turn's coming up fast.
Yamato comes as badass female character that impressive durability and strength a female character that fans waiting for long time. Will see what carrot does. She did do remarkable things when leaving whole cake island.

Hopefully, he is not a cook but seems like he is given his relationship with his sister. Taking care of every household chore.

Sure, let's get 'em cookin' in a nice boilin' pot of Oden 2.0 stew.

Just sad to hear how terrible that soapbox your on.
Have fun when the gasoline flame that is Yamato burns out. Carrot's a slow burn, baby. And I know slow. Jinbe fan for 10 years, here.

Good for you.

Let's not resort to this.

Besides, arguments against Carrot were made numerous times in Whole Cake Island before she ended up being one of the main highlights of the arc. Gotta have some level of patience.
That's what we call a one hit wonder.
 
Yamato's the only one hit wonder here. Carrot has over three years on him. Time spent with all the Straw Hats, fighting alongside the Straw Hats, saving them, laughing with them, crying with them. Yamato will never, never have that kind of bond with them.
She's had more storyline going for her than Carrot had within 10 chapters over Carrots 200 minimum.

Saying Yamato will never get anything atm is just your bias showing.
Yamato already is connected to Luffy via her Ace past.... to dismiss that goes to show your ignorance.

Till she fights Perospero and does another "one hit wonder."
You like pushing that narrative don't you.

And Yamato won't even get to 100. He says he wants to ride on Luffy's ship, but guess what? That's Oda playing you like a fiddle. Yamato's a last minute, flash in the pan attempt to divert away from Carrot, the character Oda carefully, subtly built up over those 200 chapters. Oden, Ace, Luffy; every one of Yamato's "connections" are pathetically shallow and rushed. He's got a chance to make it work with Momo and Shinobu, but if you think he'll be best buds with Zoro or something, don't make me laugh. Compare a beautiful slow-cooked pot roast to a hunk of meat blasted with a blowtorch for a minute.
