    General & Others Next Strawhat Crew Members and the Grand Fleet

    The whole point of her arc is that she wasn't originally on a trajectory to importance. Her life course changed because of Pedro's death, and the fact she's still thinking about what he said, even after being beaten, shows there's still room for her to have a revelation. She doesn't need the...

    I said for myself that I'll wait and see what Oda does next; she's not done by a long shot, but there's not much point in constantly beating the drum while we're waiting. It was the same for Jinbe for all the in between years he was absent. I'm just glad you can laugh now, because who knows how...

    Perospero said he was dead, and he had no incentive to lie because he was mad about his blown off arm and wanted someone to torture over it.

    I think this would better serve as a reply to thedarkdragon, he's the one who's wondering why Wanda got involved.

    Wanda chose not to be with the other Minks on the roof in the first place; that wasn't because of Carrot. I don't know what she was doing before that, but she obviously thought two against Peros would be better than one.

    That's a pure troll, through and through. Just stick them in your ignore list and don't let 'em bug you.

    See what I mean? That's why I, for one, am going to let what happens next happen without further comment. Maybe Carrot will get up. Maybe she won't. Whatever happens next relies on that.

    And I still believe that this is the turning point for her. Obviously I wanted her to have a stronger showing up front, and no doubt people are going to take whatever I say as just spinning a bad situation. But here's what I think, and you can take it or leave it: Carrot has been left on the...

    I know that scene. But one panel of Luffy talking to everyone doesn't have quite the same feeling as two pages devoted to it, plus again, Pedro's death being the driving force behind it vs simply splitting up.

    I'm saying it was a combination of things all happening together that added up to a moment of clarity for me. If Pedro hadn't died, if Luffy had just said, "Everyone" or something, if he wasn't about to go off to war, maybe it wouldn't have hit me as deeply. The element there struck me the exact...

    Yeah, if it was real. It's not. Exactly.

    To me it's different from just talking one on one with someone, or just saying "You guys". He's about to go into a fight he might not make it out of, and he's basically reassuring his people that he will be back. He addresses each person by name to convey this importance, and he calls Carrot...

    Your insults are what's pathetic. I've told you before to back off if trading insults is all you're after, and I have no reason to keep talking with you if that's how you want to act. The last thing I'll say to you is that Luffy asked his crew to take care of the ship while he was gone. Before...

    That's fair. I'm not expecting to actually convince anyone before it happens. 1614374804 Ignoring the Reiju remark, I see. Ah well, enjoy that cup of Kool-Aid.

    I'm not sure what you're arguing. Yes, it's possible that all this leads to is being another ally. The same thing could be said about Yamato who you seem to be rooting for and who is helping Momo a lot more than Luffy right now. What Carrot has more of is actual camaraderie with the crew. She's...
