Yes, someone striving to be the greatest doctor in the world has a better reason to sail with the Pirate King than “because he wants to,” I don’t know why this is so difficult for you to grasp. This STILL does not answer why Carrot has to join, by the way!! What’s the hold up??

I’ll never get over how “Her mentor wanted to sail with the last Pirate King so she should sail with the next one” is perfectly justifiable for Carrot…but it’s also somehow used to preclude Yamato from joining because she would just be copying someone else…but Carrot would *also* be blindly following another person’s wishes…but Yamato can’t be allowed to do that…but Carrot not only SHOULD do it, she HAS to…but Yamato SHOULDN’T and CAN’T…😵💫😵💫😵💫
