1. Carrot is a wanderer, she was created like that from the start. So making her lose and making Perospero say "stay on your island" AND making Carrot stay on her Island, was contradictory to what Oda had build previousely. BUT, it seems like he did not fully commit. And this cover actually shows that he stayed true to her character by allowing her to wonder around. This makes her conclusion of Wano much better.
I actually kinda love the agenda shenanigans. I have a lot too myself. It's just pains me that when some people gets theirs in the muds, it transforms into hatred
Some people might know the Tintin cartoon. Well early One Piece has a similar art direction. The palette of color, the "comic" look, the various effect of water or wind. It's very impactfull when you are a kid and you watch that. It grips you into the story. You almost remember the ambiance more that what is happening.
I think one of the reasons some anime people love pretimeskip so much (me included) is the art-direction which is immaculate up to marineford (it kinda peaks in Water Seven). after that, the art team took to many too many shortcuts and the result had no real coherency, which led to flat drawings and stiff animations. Gladly, they decided to change things aroundn wano. And now, we have something really cool.
I saw someone laugh in the Nakama thread about Usopp and Mjölnir.. Don't forget that the hammer has been Usopp's secondary weapon and tool from the start. It represents his craftness and courage. It would be narratively logical to make Usopp hold it.
Even if they are all cool.. Antagonist post-time skip are much better written than pre-time skip ones. Aside from a few exceptions, the motivations of the early antagonists were mostly neglected to a simple wish or a dream.. but post time skip? There are entire backstories, needs and desires. While Oda pushed the exageration meter, he mades them much more layered
