• Carrot's significant contributions and emotional journey with the Straw Hats deserved a better send-off.

One pieceas a story, it has so many characters that it's hard to follow. From the residents of Orange Town in East Blue to the Punk Hazard kids, to the various groups scattered throughout the land of Wano, it can sometimes be difficult to follow every character at every point in the story. Because of this, unfortunately, sometimes characters who One piece The fanbase thought would be important are instead left behind and forgotten.

However, sometimes integral characters that were once extremely important to the story One piece were also forgotten.

This character, Carrot, felt like an honorable member of the Straw Hat crew, but the story left her faster than any of the others.

Optimism and strength

Carrot was first introduced into the story after the events of Dressrosa, during One Piece's Zou Arc. Part of the Minx tribe, Carrot is a young rabbit humanoid and a member of Duke Dogstrom's musketeer squad. Thanks to this, he has quite considerable fighting skills and can hold his own against strong opponents.

However, as the Straw Hats left Zou One Piece's Throughout Cake Island, Carrot secretly joined the Sanji Retrieval Team and followed her idol Pedro.

Left on Wano

However, despite all that One piece Minx, Carrot, made for the crew, at the end of the Wano Arc the Straw Hats left her behind without saying goodbye. Despite saying goodbye to Kin'emon and Momonosuke, Carrot didn't even get a thank you for the amount of time and effort she put into it.

This is disappointing especially because of the amount Carrot has done during his adventures. Without Carrot awakening her Sulong form, the Straw Hats would be easily captured One piece Emperor, Big Mom. Additionally, during Whole Cake Island, Carrot witnessed her mentor and idol Pedro sacrifice himself to give the rest of the group a better chance of escape. With the amount of physical and emotional trauma Carrot went through during her time with the Straw Hats, a simple goodbye would go a long way.

Even outside of the story, Carrot has been with the Straw Hat crew for quite some time in the real world and has slowly become one of the fanbase's most beloved characters. Since her introduction in 2015, Carrot has stuck with the crew for over half a decade. Seeing such an important character disappear without further interaction with the Straw Hats feels like a disservice to fans.

Too little, too late

Despite the fact that in the manga, v One piece anime, Carrot actually had a proper goodbye during the filler episode at the end of Wan. However, despite this moment, many fans are still saddened by the character's mis-shipment, which explains her need to explore the seas already filled from her Straw Hat adventures. Farewell to the Straw Hats or not, Carrot returns to the Minx tribe to become the new leader of the group and finally end her career as a pirate.

In the end, it's sad to see such a beloved character left behind by the world One piece. While Carrot joining the Straw Hats would probably be a step too far, seeing a better ending to the character's story as we know it would satisfy fans. However, the story of One piece it's not over yet. There is still plenty of time for Carrot to come back and give the fans the satisfying send-off they wanted.
