I have always believed so. To me Carrot is the closest living character in the entire verse (outside of Toki), to that title.
Also, if Carrot is indeed the Moon Princess.. this poem/prophecy that Toki screamed to Oroshi is actually something she learned FAR in the past about the Moon Princess.. which would be Carrot
It's important to note that in this prophecy the line "may your purpose be fulfilled" doesn't really apply to Oroshi, it's also important to note that during her entire Journey, Carrot has been given clues about the "Dawn" by Pedro, but not a real knowledge yet (
the anime doesn't count), something we are STILL a payoff for (
if we consider that 888 was not the real one)
Of course, it's still a low probability, but I've said that on multiple occurences :
CARROT REPRESENTS THE DAWN.
It's really fundamental not to overlook that data (
which I explained HERE). Carrot is the one (
and only? I'm not sure) that directly represent the dawn in her design, characterization and story. It's faint, but it's definitely there, and its not a coincidence.
- not sure about Stussy being Carrot's mom tho, Carrot would be having her eyes at the very least -
