It's been a while since I last checked the forum.
I guess I just stopped coming here because if I needed leaks, I already had them on Twitter, and since the conversation of Carrot slowed down, so did I.
I really don't know what Oda wants to do with Carrot honestly. Ever since 1056 it looked quite odd the way Carrot's Story went (as of what we know so far) and the fact that she wasn't even mentioned by Luffy and the rest nor given a goodbye scene with them, it just makes it the more odd.
A character that was given depth, development and even a sad moment, shouldn't had been so sidelined, specially when other characters that had similar screen time or even less actually did. I doubt Oda just said "Fuck it" and give her that ending.
I heard that Carrot has been getting lots of "Hints", for example Vegapunk's Electric Gloves, Female Bepo's Hair being similar to Carrots, the Rabbit Screw and then some more stretch out ones, but that could still count, Bonney's Least Favorite Food being Carrots and Stronger (the Horse of Blackbeard Pirates) Favorite being Carrots.
Carrot could still appear, even if it's unlikely at this point, because it has almost being 10 Chapters since she last appeared. But keep in mind that in the Story it has only passed a few days since Wano, so it's still not that long.
If she doesn't appear, well guess will have to accept it, despite it being a bit bad writting for the character. Hopefully if there is a cover story of her, it's at least showing progress and development for her, to some extent.
Anyways good luck to those that still are in support of Carrot, like me, we will sure need it.
