Carrot, not Yamato, will be the character to first mirror Oden’s journey on the seas

Despite ongoing debates among One Piece fans about whether Carrot or Yamato will become a member of the Straw Hats’ crew, a recent fan theory suggests that Carrot may be following in Oden’s footsteps. This theory is supported by the lessons and last will of Pedro, who entrusted Carrot with important knowledge that could potentially impact the series in the future.

Despite being a popular theory among One Piece fans, it must be noted that the story of Carrot remains purely speculative. There is a rising belief that unlike Yamato, Carrot’s journey is far from over. This is evident as Yamato’s role in the story seemingly came to an end during the events at Wano, as evidenced by her short arc in the recent manga covers. However, the trajectory of Carrot’s journey may mirror that of Oden’s, adding further speculation to her potential future in the series.

One Piece Foreshadows Carrot’s Journey to Mirror Oden’s, Not Yamato’s

According to the theory, Carrot was previously unable to fully understand Pedro’s will due to a lack of details. However, recent events in the Egghead arc, specifically Dr. Vegapunk’s message, have changed this. In the manga, it has been revealed that Carrot has heard the doctor’s words, giving her some insight into Pedro’s intentions. This newfound knowledge may motivate her to join the Straw Hats, the future Pirate King’s crew, in their quest to bring “dawn to the world”, much like Oden did with Gol D. Roger.

One similarity between Oden and Carrot is their shared desire to explore the world and embark on thrilling adventures. This could bring them together once more. Furthermore, there is a possibility of Shanks traveling to Zou in pursuit of the Road Poneglyph, potentially crossing paths with Carrot and offering her a place amongst the Yonko as a means of reuniting with the Straw Hats in Elbaf.

With the recent revelation of Vegapunk’s message, Carrot’s desire to join the crew has been further strengthened, making her a potential final member of Luffy’s crew. Not only does she already have a bond with Luffy, but this also mirrors Oden’s decision to join the first ship he encountered and eventually become a member of Roger’s crew.

For many years, fans of One Piece have been engaged in discussions about who might join Luffy’s crew and the reasons behind each potential candidate. Among the numerous options, two queens in the series, Nefertari D. Vivi and Boa Hancock, have stood out as prominent choices. Both of them have their own ongoing subplots in the series, alongside other notable candidates such as Yamato and Carrot.

Another notable option is the beloved character Bon Clay, who has captured the hearts of many fans in the past and has been confirmed to still be alive in Impel Down. Additionally, Jewelry Bonney was a member of the crew during the Egghead arc and it is improbable that she has any other destination, potentially leading her to join the Straw Hats in seeking vengeance for her father, Bartholomew Kuma.

Final Thoughts

If this One Piece theory turns out to be accurate, it suggests that Carrot may symbolize both Pedro’s will and Oden’s journey, rather than Yamato. However, like many theories, this is purely conjecture and should be treated as such.
