You have to be stupid, clearly stupid to say Carrot is Weak.

Just compare who damaged more Perospero.
Chopper+Brook or Wanda+Carrot.
And there you'll find how weak she is damaging a 700mb guy...

OFC it's not as strong as Yamato, or Sanji, or Luffy, or Jimbe or Zoro...But to say she's weak...
She is weak if, her importance in the SHs is supposed to be that of a warrior. Chopper/Ussop/Namiare all specialists.
 
she relies in a once a month ability. She's weak
Chopper relies in Drugs...He's weak...
Zoro relies in his swords, he's weak...
Robin relies on her fruit, she's weak...
Jimbe relies on the water, he's weak...

That's bullshit, without Sulong she's as strong as Brook, Robin, Nami with the new PU, Choppah...

No, she is not, even in Zou, she was a warrior, Bariete is someone whom we would call a lookout, because that is what his role is. She is not even a specialist in lookout if we want to argue. And Jinbe is a warrior too, and oda made him the best helmsman just for the sake of it to have a role in SHs crew, and he made him the best. Nami/Ussop/Chopper all contribute in a war based on their skills too. What will carrot do? I guess stay outside the islands on sunny since she is a lookout :kayneshrug: or become like Bao Huang? Still pretty useless in that department.

I think it's important to note that Carrot didn't lose to Peros in Su long form. Kaido's clouds blocked out the moon and she transformed back and then she lost. Who knows what would have happened if the clouds didn't appear.
Who knows, oda didn't care so offscreened it.

Chopper always has his drugs on him(lol), Zoro doesn't fight without his swords, Robin can't lose her DF abilities, Jinbe literally mid diff YC4 level character on land.

Those are all false equivalencies, unless carrot can somehow create an artificial moon her power is heavily reliant on a once a month ability

Yeah, off screening that fight was a big blow to Carrot's chances I don't think he's ever off screened a new recruit's fight in the arc they join before. I still hope there will be a round 2, but if not then Carrot is done for sure. Still, it doesn't prove that Carrot is weak. I'm just glad it seems Yamato is joining for sure at least. I believe in the 4 recruits per sea theory so I think there is room for both.
 
the only possibility that Yamato not joining SH after this arc is if Kaido kill her the same fate as Oden
Carrot chances too slim to join SH
Agreed on Yamato. And I would argue that Kaido killing her is a non factor since he still wants her to become the shogun. If he won't kill enemy pirate captains and just beats them into submission instead, surely he will not kill Yamato either.

Yeah, I too feel her role will end in Wano itself. Her being alive would definitely mean she has to be with SHs given how its setup. So only reason for her not being part of story would be her story ends here.

Stupidity is not an argument

Chopper didn't go Monster point at that time, him and Brook were fighting off the peacekeepers, it's like Jinbei who couldn't focus on WsW because he had to fight his crew too.

Chopper & Brook >> Carrot & Wanda

The only reason Perospero didn't defeat them is for their speed boost, they are as bees flying around Perospero poking and annoying him.. Carrot ain't special in any way, Daifuku helped her destroy his own fleet or she would have failed. When she's with the Strawhats, she's always portrayed as a joke with the weak trio replacing Usopp in WCI.
 
carrot is a weird case
she clearly wants to join
is popular
question mark on the lookout role but it is something
has a great reason to following pedro's death, he talked alot about the dawn and carror seeing that first hand as a crew member would be great. I cant see why she simply returns to zou but her losing and getting little panel time in wano make me question it. Then again chopper is in the same boat but his main role in this arc isnt fighting anyway.
a mink which is a plus for a crew thats very inclusive ( similar to roger's) .
ideally both yamato and carrot joining would be great
but we cant have nice things
not interested in momo and tama , the journey will get tougher , dont want kids on the ship.

Carrot joining would be unlike anything that has ever happened before. Every SH had an arc where they was a main focus. Even Fishman Island focused a lot on Jinbe.

Carrot has been around for over 200 chapters and nothing. Yamato has been around less than 40 and already got a ton of focus.

There's also that Carrot was happy in Zou. Everyone loved her and the instant she feels put of place, they accommodate her like the other minks. All of the SHs struggled a lot and were pitiful for the most part in their past.

thats the issue with finding what a lot of them have in common
yamato for example unlike most people joining isnt going to be the best at anything
her active role in the ship is almost non existent but i still think she joins.

i have stopped thinking about potential strawhats in a set formula
the way i think about it is
what reasons would compel carrot or yamato to remain
vivi had a country to rule
unless carrot has a change of heart , i still see her sailing with them past wano
 

Finalbeta

Zoro Worshipper
Carrot seems to be very affectioned of Luffy since the first time she met him. I wonder how extensively this contributed in her choice, but I think for the most part she is happy to tag along with some people she finds comfortable with and can prominently help her achieving her goal of revenge.

Been saying this for the longest, but the “pattern” is not a hard and fast rule like some people would like to believe. Every nakama’s recruitment has a few narrative things in common, but each one also has a specific set of circumstances surrounding their ultimate inclusion in the crew that make it much harder to say they all adhere to the same routine. Furthermore, at least three longtime members were recruited for reasons totally unrelated to the position they were meant to fill; Luffy wanted Zoro for his reputation, Usopp because he felt they were friends (and they had individual reasons to find the Red Hair Pirates), and Robin because she forced the issue by stowing away after trying to defeat them. I don’t buy any of the lookout bullshit because it’s a position anyone can fill (and many people have), so Carrot and Yamato both don’t have a clearly defined role yet, but I don’t think that will influence Luffy’s thinking on either one :luuh:

I definitely agree that the lack of a focused arc is what's killing Carrot right now. She needs one to join. I think there is still a small chance for it though.

Big Mom will likely not go down for good in this arc. The only chance for that is if she is straight up killed, which seems very unlikely. There are a lot of BM pirates who have been set up but haven't done anything yet, including two sweet commanders. There's also no chance they won't continue to go after Luffy after Wano, since they won't accept a loss when only two of them are there and Luffy had tons of allies. They'll blame it on the beast pirates being incompetent and the Strawhats having help.

Furthermore, Luffy declared that he would defeat Big Mom 3 times. First he said it to her on Fishman Island, then he said it to Kata on WCI when he vowed to come back for BM after he finished Kaido, then again in Wano when he arrives at the live floor. He absolutely has to be the one to finish her, not Law and Kid. Assuming there will be another Big Mom arc, presumably Elbaf, there's more opportunity for Carrot growth.

There's too much setup for Carrot vs Perospero for her not to beat him in the end. Where he told her she's not strong enough and she should go back to Zou to eat grass. Never does a One Piece character not turn the tables and win after a taunt like that, but it looks like Neko is getting involved instead.

Basically what I think is the last chance for Carrot to join is if the Perospero plotline isn't resolved in Wano and Carrot asks to tag along with the crew to continue to chase after Peros. Presumably then the final Big Mom arc would focus on Carrot.

That's a lot of big ifs and maybes, and I don't know if Oda would slow down the story to focus on Carrot if he really wants to end in 5 years, but I think it's a possible direction the story could take. Is it likely? Probably not. But that could be how Carrot is made relevant enough to join.

Regardless, I assume Yamato will join. Carrot would join in addition to her, not instead of her.
