Oda untied that end himself by having Pedro die in the first place. Death has always been a big game-changer in OP. There has to be a reason why Oda set up Carrot needing to avenge Pedro. It's not just for cheaply raised stakes.

So Yamato will potentially be so moved by Luffy beating up his dad or something that he'll leave behind Momo, the one he's just now swearing to protect with his life, and Shinobu, the one who helped inspire Yamato to become Oden in the first place? Anything's possible, I guess.

He moves a lot of people through his actions, crewmate or not. Yamato admires Luffy, sure. Even enough to just up and ask to sail on his ship. But it's such shallow, surface-level interaction. Yamato's connection to Momo and Shinobu always had the potential to be a lot deeper and more natural...

Yamato's clearly an awesome character, no denying that. But it's all going to the benefit of Momo, as I knew it would. Yamato is Momo, Shinobu and Oden's man, not Luffy or the Straw Hat's.

I certainly don't know. I assume since Pedro asked her to help make sure they live to see it through, she'll find a way to make it work.

Joining helps her see the word she's always wanted to experience, and ensures the Straw Hats bring about the Dawn of the World.

It would definitely have to be someone who can pull their own weight.

Carrot can have a proper job and still be the noob of the crew. Getting Jinbe the experienced one and Carrot (or Yamato, granted) as the trainee would work. Fine. But she's either joining or not. Oda won't be wasting time leaving her in limbo past Wano.

She was trained to be a Musketeer and the youngest-known master of Sulong, what are you talking abour?

Well, the role is similar to Chopper back when he was 15. We'd want someone who's younger and less experienced, but at the same time isn't a pushover or dead weight. Carrot fits that a whole lot better than the cute pincushion that is Tama or the heir to throne Momo. I'm not really sure what...

That would fit Carrot perfectly, then.

I'm more in the all-or-nothing camp. I can't see any reason for Carrot to continue tagging along if she isn't joining for keeps.

Then you'll just be losing money. Even if Carrot doesn't join, no way the frog will. I know you're being sarcastic, but c'mon.

Absolutely beautiful work.

Doesn't matter what they need. What Oda's giving them is this: (And I don't need to hear about Wanda technically being there. She's in the page's gutter. Where she belongs.)

Ten Titanic Captains + BB makes 11. Straw Hats + 1 more makes 11.

Condoriano? I'll admit, I don't get it.

I'm just saying it's not exactly a pattern that points to Yamato one way or the other.

The book could have Oden's favorite hotpot recipe for all we know. The thing is, it doesn't really matter what's actually in there because we, nor Luffy, will ever find out. Luffy simply won't want to hear anything that book may or may not contain, and with Yamato a permanent resident on the...
