just sayin that I think Yamato will definitely join even though I'm a Carrot stan😂 I can see either way for Carrot but the thing is, I'm quite sure her battle (and Wanda) with perospero will decide her fate. the way Oda made narrative of her and Pedro can't be for nothing, there're still unknown facts (still very blurry imo) about her as well as her true motivation, so it all depends on how Oda will drive the situation later. same thing with Yamato tho, right now I'm certain Yamato is a lock but all this time Yamato felt too good to be true and it's too obvious (ykwim r8?) so I'm afraid Oda will not make it happen somehow because strong prediction and speculation many times gone wrong.
sooo atm I guess it will be Yamato joins or Yamato+Carrot join, I might change my mind based on how several next chapters will gonna be.

A
stretch or not
, there are some
parallels between the female SH. You're free to not acknowledge it, but there are panel evidence for these.
1. The second recruit of each region
- Nami : East Blue
- Robin : Paradise
- Yamato : New World
2. Introduce themselves on higher elevation while looking below at Luffy
- Nami : roof
- Robin : railing of the Going Merry
- Yamato : ceiling (and she's taller)
3
. They needed to convince Luffy to join first
- Nami : ask to partner
- Robin : invite herself in
- Yanato : request to board the ship
4
. They're related to other crews who is the main antagonist of an arc
- Nami : Arlong Pirates
- Robin : Baroque Works
- Yamato : Beast Pirates
5
. They experienced a great conflict at a young age related to their hometown
- Nami : village domination
- Robin : Ohara incident
- Yamato : Wano coup
6. Luffy helps overcome their burden related to their past
- Nami : wrecks her maps & defeating Arlong
- Robin : survived Buster Call & declares war against World Government
- Yamato : destroy her shackles & defeating Kaido
7. Their dreams are inspired by & related to paper-based work
- Nami : maps
- Robin : books
- Yamato : journal
8. Their dreams require them to explore the world
- Nami : draws world maps
- Robin : searching for Poneg & true history
- Yamato : going out & experience the outside world
7. Linked to the concept of freedom & liberation
- Nami : freeing the village out of invader's occupation
- Robin : dubbed as the Light of Revolution
- Yamato : free herself from her caged life & opening Wano's border
It's fine to think that this is just another "muh pattern" or "cherrypicked points", however the connections are already there in the manga.
Any thoughts, bro?

yes this kind of pattern is very interesting bcs you can also see the pattern for zoro-chopper-jinbe, usopp-franky, sanji-brook.
I was making this kind of thing too for Carrot when there's still no Yamato and she also checked some of that like:
-carrot introduced above a tree
-ask so badly to sail together
-she is (might was) affiliated with the musketeer squad
-the whole zou incident
additional to that Carrot also has some similar things with Nami and Robin:
-if Carrot joins she'll also become another member who has sailed with the crew before officially join
-Nami watched bellemere killed tragically in front of her eyes, Robin with her mom and all people of ohara, and Carrot with Pedro obvs and they got their revenge (to arlong, to spandam inherited from spandine, and to perospero)
-if the anime filler will become a truth, these 3 women will have their own garden on sunny go (Nami with her tangerines, Robin with her flowers, and Carrot with her carrot fields which already non-canonically planted there)
-I know this point is so weak but if Carrot really is a lookout, she'll fill another tentative position such as helmsman because we've seen in many occasion the lookout keeps changing, just like the helmsman (yea yea I know the job sounds boring but I kinda like the pattern lmao)
and as to Yamato, I can also see Yamato's similarity to Usopp and Franky:
-they have their own aliases (Usopp-Sogeking, Cutty Flam-Franky, Yamato-Oden)
-they are the only people in the crew who are known as "sons" of pirates (yasopp, Franky's unknown father is already said to be a pirate, and kaido) other than luffy, sanji, and chopper whose fathers obviously not pirates, their fathers are still remain unknown
-they all wear masks (Usopp as sogeking, Franky and Yamato in their first appearances)
-their introducing arc involved killing attempt of wealthy figure there (kaya, iceburg, komurasaki well she's really "killed" but not tho)
-and the reason why I don't use pronouns for Yamato is because Yamato might be what complete Okiku's character, transman and transwoman so if Yamato is a guy then Yamato will fit the 3rd member as male
so the thing is the comparison is still wide if we still don't know who the actual crew is. as I said before Yamato might likely to join maybe as a 2nd member of 3rd member because Yamato fits into both. Carrot can also be the crew as she fits many points as the 2nd member so Yamato can filled the 3rd member slot.
one more stupid thing, the sailing of the new 2nd member interrupted with another almost become member. after Nami joins, luffy invites Gaimon to join but he refuses, Vivi refused to join and there was Robin, so there might be another one. I was thinking of Luffy asks Otama because Ace promised her but she'll feel not competent yet so she refuses, or maybe Carrot/Yamato refuses, but idk this speculation is weird lmao.
ps: sorry if there are some weird sentences or so, not a fluent english speaker, I hope you get what I'm trying to say.
