Uh, Yamato went from Nami clone to a Nami clown. I'm not a fan of her color scheme, its kind of a mess, she's a rainbow popsicle. Oda is trying too much to make her standout with colors it has a reverse effect. And why are her horns red?
Anyway i would still take Yamato over the colorless rabbit, its not even a question.
Can you imagine how wrong it would feel if Carrot was in Yamato's place on the WSJ cover when she never had an exchange with Luffy. It would literally make my skin crawl.
