Theory Carrot the god of the moon

[Mrbushido56]

So carrot could become a god fruit user.
With the introduction of Zaza as the rain god it reminds of a combination of Indra and Indrani.
Indra is the Hindu god of weather and the king of the devas ( gods ) Indrani is his wife.
They ride an elephant named airvatar who is the king of elephants who uses his trunk to poor rain across the land.
Now this reminds me of zunesha,
Like airvatar Zunesha pools water on its back acting like rain which Wanda calls a blessing.
And there have been a few covers of elephants acting like shower heads or watering cans so oda is drawing a parallel to zunesha and rain perhaps.

Now carrot being the queen of zou I don’t think makes much sense with her having no leadership skills no Desire for it she’s not even the strongest mink.
It would have been better to have Wanda in no is written as the wiser mink who everyone listens to be the queen and carrot being her assistant

So perhaps the idea is carrot is suppose to meet some prophecy

In the 2nd image you will see 2 volume covers.

At first glance you will say the first image was foreshadowing the future yonko but I instead think it’s something more.
This is Davy jones and joyboy. I believe buggy is connected to Davy as a sort of spiritual carrier of his will like luffy is to joyboy.
Bb carries jones blood and I believe shanks carries the blood of joyboy.
So this image showcases the 4 legacies of dj and jb
Then there’s the goat and carrot.
So what I’m think is this. The goat is a representation of Imu. Imu design is based off the devil and goats are heavily associated with the devil.

There is this old theory that sengoku goat is under Imu control how it eats documents and follows sengoku around and while anime only there is a scene where sengoku talks about god valley says it vanishes and no one knows what happened to it then the goat comes into frame looks at the 4th wall and smiles. Bit in the nose.
So this image shows Imu standing in the middle of his 2 greatest enemies Davy jones and joyboy.

So then what is carrot.
If the images parallel one another then perhaps carrot represents someone who is the opposite of Imu.

One idea is the rain god.

Another is the sea god. It was mentioned by Vegapunk that the sea god cursed the devil fruits so that they cannot swim in the sea. In Japan the sea is associated with rabbits as shown in image 3 and 4.
There are several stories of the rabbit being associated with the sea like one story is Nami ni Usagi which means the rabbit and the waves which is a story about the moon rabbit dancing on the waves on clear nights.
Should be mention Nami and carrot do have a sisterly bond.
So then the theory is Imu enemy is the sea god named umi which means sea and is Imu backwards.

The final idea is perhaps the carrot in the image is the moon god.
I believe Imu is the earth god and luffy is the sun god which makes me think of what oda said about the swirls on the devil fruits ( and sanji eyebrow ) how the sun moon and earth circle one another.

Rabbits are associated with the moon in many Asian cultures like Hinduism and Shinto belief

It’s possible the moon god is associated with the sea and rain gods due to how the moon has an affect on the sea and rain in real life and mythology.

Anyway just a fun idea on what those cover pages can mean.

 

[Luffy is the mc]

No.

 

[Mrbushido56]

No.

Explain why

 

[Luffy is the mc]

Explain why

Because Oda put her aside for a reason. She will be the ruler of the minks and one of Luffy's allies among many other.

He doesn't have some special plan for her. There is no hint in the manga that implies she will become more important than she already is.

Yeah he put her to the side for a reason to set up this

 

[Paragorn]

So Carrot joining the crew wasn't enough, now she's a god?....

 

[Luffy is the mc]

Yeah he put her to the side for a reason to set up this

There is no reason for her to become a god out of nowhere other than you wanting her to become one.
She is learning a new role, she doesn't have time to go search for a df that will turn her into a god tier just because Mrbushido56 likes her and wants his theory to turn out right.

Usop and Nami all these years from the beginning of one piece never gave a good fight. Carrot one arc appears had better fight. Better nami and usop retired and bring carrot to crew lol

Carrot first clashed with Zoro who represents moon.

There is.. The Wano Families names are based on the Moons, the Moons are based on the Gods, the Uzuki family meaning Rain Moon(雨月) , its original traditional Japanese name in the calendar for april different Kanji is Uzuki(卯月), Rabbit Moon.. Udon territory, Udon is some kind of noodles, but the Kanji there read as Rabbit Bowl.. Zaza has a hat that could be a seen as a Bowl upside down..

I don't know how she wouldn't go Berserk though with a devil fruit..

Edit: and 1 chapter before the Zaza reveal chapter, there's a Carrot spread with a destination where we can't see where a lone Panshark is smiling, and that Panshark has an interesting characteristic that i won't go further into..

 

[Logiko]

There are several stories of the rabbit being associated with the sea like one story is Nami ni Usagi which means the rabbit and the waves which is a story about the moon rabbit dancing on the waves on clear nights.

Omfg thank you !!! This explains so much !!! I didn't know this story, I don't understand how I missed it. Nice !

This is chapter 888. Literally. This is indeed a reference to an old poetic saying that the movement of the reflection of the moon on the ocean look like rabbit dancing and jumping around along the waves.

This could explain why he made Carrot "fly" in the first place. Oda might have wanted to create this specific scenary of a flying rabbit coursing through the sky above the ocean under the moonlight.

Literally "nami usagi" the wave rabbits.

Rabbits are associated with the moon in many Asian cultures like Hinduism and Shinto belief

It’s possible the moon god is associated with the sea and rain gods due to how the moon has an affect on the sea and rain in real life and mythology.

I like the idea. But it could also make more sense to see Imu as the real sea god who cursed devil fruit users. But I like the ida of a sea god being he opposite.

As for Carrot, I'm sorry but yeah.. this cover is not just a joke. Oda knew perfectly that we would start theorizing with this. It's too "out of this world" to be just random. And you are right also, the goat of Sengoku is sketchy.

He doesn't have some special plan for her. There is no hint in the manga that implies she will become more important than she already is.

There are. That's the problem lol. The hints are just very well hidden.

There is no reason for her to become a god out of nowhere other than you wanting her to become one.
She is learning a new role, she doesn't have time to go search for a df that will turn her into a god tier just because Mrbushido56 likes her and wants his theory to turn out right.

Do you know why I made this back in 2017 ?

For the CarrotForNakama theory ? Yes. But not only. I was actually referencing this

Because to me Carrot already had a special vibe. Not just a strawhat, but a "joyboy" vibe. At the time, I literally thought Carrot was connected to Joyboy and that joyboy would be a mink and Carrot would be his symbolic heir. (which is actually Luffy).

There are various clue and one of which is this one:

The rulers that people are takling about here should be both 16 (if we consider that they are born as the same time like the panel implies).

Which doesn't give us a lot of room for characters: Puddin ? Rebecca ? Mansherry ? Shiraoshi ? Ok, but what if the future ruler is ABOUT to be 16?

You see, Oda specified Carrot's age (15), but he never said that her birthday came close.

This panel is important because it also remind us of the harley text:

And as I theorized before:

>>

And finally Luffy pushes the sun on the world, allowing the night to meet a new day. A new dawn. A new hope and promises of peace.

The harley is referencing the meeting or rather REUNION of both the day and the night. The dawn. The new morning.

And trust me when I say that the entire character and story of Carrot screams "she is the literal personnification of the Dawn"

Carrot's story is all about the dawn. Carrot and Shiraoshi could be much more linked that we thought.

Because Oda put her aside for a reason. She will be the ruler of the minks and one of Luffy's allies among many other.

He doesn't have some special plan for her. There is no hint in the manga that implies she will become more important than she already is.

Yamato, Carrot, Tama, and Momom stayed behind to learn Haki.

Yamato doesn't know the Ryuo the Samurai know, we know this because she couldn't break her cuffs but Luffy could. Kaido never taught Yamato Ryuo to keep her from rebelling and freeing herself.

Carrot needs a lot of Haki work, and Momo and Tama need a ton of it.

Looks like Tama is training hard, though.

We'll see there training pay off when the WG and Blackbeard attack in Wano Act 4.

Carrot, being the moon god actually makes a lot of sense.

I still think Carrot and Katakuri will have interactions due to the rabbit pounding mochi on the myth folklore.

I think Katakuri will return Pedro's corpse to the Minks, so he can be buried.
