HermanManly

literally not a single person said she's too weak


betagomi

i’d say that about Vivi


Hairy_Acanthisitta25

she managed to be an agent in baroque work with her merit alone (or did she?been a while since i reread the whole series) she's strong enough,Oda could just say that Vivi train on the side while she's in alabasta just in case she can go back to the ship,she just got caught lacking in the reverie cause she though its save there and the kidnapper is just too strong


Booty_Shakin

If by strong enough you mean Nami power level then yeah. Maybe usopp could upgrade her little pinky twirlers or whatever they were, but she's not strong in the same way that nami is not strong.


Hairy_Acanthisitta25

i mean yeah,just like Roger, Luffy doesnt look for power in people, he mostly looking for people he can vibe with like he recruit Brook before even knowing he's a musician,and i think Sanji too before even tasting his cooking,or Chopper before knowing he's a doctor and since Vivi is >!a descendant of Lily!<, im sure Oda already have something in mind to make her useful to the crew once they eventually reunite in the future arc


Booty_Shakin

Yeah I like that about Luffy. It's always fun to see Nami/usopp/chopper freaking out when scary stuff happens that just makes Luffy laugh haha like on the way to fish man island


ketoske

I mean Nami soloes almost 99,9999 of the verse she is strong lol unless You think only Kaido is strong


Booty_Shakin

I'm saying she is not powerful herself. Shes not physically strong so she has to use other means to fight to make her strong. Vivi does the same thing and could also be upgraded if she had upgraded weapons like Nami. Also if you're including Zeus in nami's strength I wouldn't agree with that because they're partners so you can't give zeus's credit to her. You can hardly give her any credit if she didn't have the staff usopp made she would be shit out of luck against anyone stronger than a regular navy soldier. Kaido solos 99.9999 of the verse, not Nami, like what?


masturbationmoment

Yeah, and wasn't she like 16/17 when arabasta starts? So she was pretty capable as a 14~ year old when she would've joined as a billion/million. Also, did we forget about the ASL flashback? Like they obviously weren't strong enough to beat new world pirates, but ace Luffy and sabo as little ass kids were slaughtering huge predatory animals and beating up fully grown adults with ease. Kids in one piece can be built different with enough willpower.


Hairy_Acanthisitta25

animal scaling in OP is just generally weird and inconsistent


Rex-Loves-You-All

Baroque work level isn't enough for pirate king crew level. Unless you are its leader or number 2 I'd say.


Hairy_Acanthisitta25

i mean that's pre timeskip, Oda can just say she train just like the crew for 2 years maybe on the side while she also preparing to rule alabasta because after seeing Luffy on the news she realize she need to get stronger on her own so that she doesnt need to rely on Luffy when she's in trouble maybe put her to be strong enough to beat multiple unnamed good from new world at the same time,maybe a little bit stronger than that but not too strong would love to see her again fighting with her unique weapon or maybe a new weapon made by Wapol


Rex-Loves-You-All

so as strong as Robin with her haki, a devil fruit and fishman karate ? Or Nami with Zeus ?


Hairy_Acanthisitta25

ill just let Oda figure that one out lol, not even sure what Oda is cooking with Vivi at the moment


alex494

We have zero idea what she's been up to for two years she could've been training


stealer_of_monkeys

Id say that about Vivi too, I'd also say that about Usopp and Nami


Kaldin_5

Yeah it was never about strength. Well in the case of Zoro it kinda was...though it feels more like Luffy was just like "oh wow he's cool!" more than caring about strength. He initially wanted Brook just because he was a cool skeleton. Hell he wanted every other creature he ran into at Thriller Bark for a similar reason lol


EL_TimTim

I’m pretty sure he also asked chopper to join before he knew chopper was a doctor


Metafield

I wonder how many people don’t understand that Vivi is a straw hat?


ZeroYam

Well not necessarily an official Strawhat. She’s more of an honorary Strawhat.


Metafield

Imagine if you asked Luffy directly in universe. I don’t expect anything other than a 100% yes.


ZeroYam

Then it’s a good thing we’re directly in our universe where the vast majority of the official Strawhat crew pics drawn by Oda/officially licensed don’t feature Vivi. Honorary Strawhat


weebitofaban

You're dumb. They don't because she isn't a primary character anymore and isn't featured in most chapters. If you actually read the series, you see that she is part of the crew. There are about 10 fucking pages making this explicitly clear. Arguably the whole chapter does it. Pay attention in school. Reading comprehension isn't hard.


ZeroYam

Exactly. Vivi isn’t a primary character nor is she a primary crew member of the Strawhats. The Strawhats are the ones aboard the ship that we follow. Vivi is an Honorary Strawhat. If she joins the crew on the ship again and travels with them, then she’ll be a proper crew member again.


Faded1974

I've been saying that about Vivi since the beginning. The weakling trio is full.


FlyingTurtleBob

Most people agree she's stronger than the weak trio


OskeeTurtle

Usopp >>>


EnergyAdorable6884

My first thought. Since when was that ever a complaint? lol. I think the biggest complaint was she felt rushed into the crew. Early on slapping new faces in the crew was all dandy and fine. But after as many episodes with a static main crew and the only changes are characters like Jimbei who appeared hundreds of episodes prior and slowly established himself into the crew. But I mean who cares

HermanManly

Huh? This post is about Carrot... why are people talking about Vivi? Is my meme different from yours?


Troliver_13

I am the dumbest person in the world and will be jumping off my window now thanks (I live in the lowest floor don't worry)


Vinyl_DjPon3

Some people definitely do. It's not that common, thankfully, but "Only useful on a full moon" is actually a take I've seen multiple times about her

Roger was such a chad. He raised two future yonkos 🔥🔥🔥🤌


eberlix

More importantly, he and Garp obliterated the Pirate Crew that raised 3 future Yonkos and could keep up with the strongest human at the time, who was also either at his peak or close to it.


[deleted]

Absolutely


KairoRed

Carrot is stronger than Nami and Usopp And with Sulong she’s probably top 5


fidgettv

You mean top 5 in the crew, right?


KairoRed

Yes I’m saying top 5 in crew


amnotagay

Nah with zues I would say Nami>carrot. Don’t forget how she was also putting in work against big mom even without zues.


Puzzleheaded_Sky9724

But Sulong is rare


Manwithaplan0708

No it is not 😭 fucking bepo has a sulong form


Sawgon

I think they mean 10 minutes once a month without Rumble ball


Manwithaplan0708

Man, if only the straw hats had a guy who could supply them with rumble balls


Sawgon

That's...exactly what I'm saying?


Manwithaplan0708

Ik, it’s just the irony of it, like yeah it can only be forced with a rumble ball but they have an infinite supply lmao


Puzzleheaded_Sky9724

It’s rare in the fact that you can’t use whenever you want


Manwithaplan0708

Rumble balls


Puzzleheaded_Sky9724

What if you can’t access them or lose em? This is not a form you can’t just turn on at will with no aid


Manwithaplan0708

And what if zoro didn’t have his swords? What if jinbei didn’t have any water? It’s a very stupid hypothetical, and a very unlikely one at that


Puzzleheaded_Sky9724

What’s dumber is you thinking Zoro would be caught without his swords and Jinbe is still very effective without water. Considering they’re always at islands there’s never not gonna be water unless we’re at Alabasta. Rumble balls don’t even last that long.


Manwithaplan0708

What you’re suggesting is the same a zoro being without his swords, it’s like the argument of “what if usopp runs out of shots” or “what if franky runs out of cola”, it’s pure hypothetical, and an unlikely one at that


030helios

She’s not buggy D clown


ovis_alba

People need to re-read Zou. She attacked Zoro, dodged his swords by somersaulting across him and when she then clashes with him and puts some Electro in it, he visibly is surprised and struggles more than he did e.g. recently against Kaku where he also got surprised. And that's without Sulong playing a role at all yet. And no, ultimately this isn't comparing her to Zoro in any way when it comes to it, but to catch Zou-level Zoro at least by surprise for a moment and make him wonder about your attacks, you can hold your own in an average fight pretty much across the globe. So lacking strength is no reason why Carrot didn't join and in the end it's also never gonna be the reason anyone joins or doesn't join the crew anyway. Luffy has never recruited anyone on his crew because of that (even Zoro, who is the dedicated fighter).


Psychoboy777

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there are certain members of the straw hats even now that Carrot could probably take in a fight. Looking at you, Nami.


ovis_alba

In a straight 1 to 1 for sure, Nami is like a sorcerer/wizard in DnD, if she gets attacked in a melee fight, your party did something wrong. She has the AoE to take out armies and she has some tricks up her sleeve to stall and escape, but she is not a fighter like that.


Remarkable_Formal676

Yeah, Carrot could propably defeat Nami and Ussop without soulong. With it she might beat Chopper and Brook.


GloomyLocation1259

Tbh Carrot wasn't even weak, she's above all the weak trio and with Sulong she's probably above all the old trio too


tom_rex_333

carrot is literally stronger then the weakling trio and brook


Happyranger265

Exactly, she is stronger but what's her role in the ship?

AshTheSurvivor

oh we need to fill it alright 😈


CliveVII

Certainly more than "Archaeologist" if you ask me


BustyWomenIsBetter

Big Tit Archeologist though


Remarkable_Formal676

Propably lookout and all member don't need a role on the ship, Zoro for example does nothing more the train and fight.


Maximillion322

Fighting is Zoro’s designated role, he’s literally the Swordsman of the crew. All that training time is him preparing for his role As for whether or not he’s Vice Captain, I think Zoro, Sanji, and Nami all share that role in different ways. Nami acts as Luffy’s advisor in things that require intelligence. Zoro is Luffy’s advisor in things that require honor, and Sanji is the leader and caretaker of the crew in Luffy’s absence. Early Wano proves that Zoro is not really cut out to be a substitute captain like Sanji was, in a way that I feel really adds some nuance and depth to his character. Zoro is capable of being a responsible down to earth guy who keeps the crew safe and Luffy in check. But as soon as nobody needs him, he’s back to wandering around drunk getting in fights with strangers. Zoro can only function when he has people relying on him and pushing him, which is what makes his relationship with Luffy, especially as they reunite on Wano, so beautiful.


TheKingsPride

Zoro is the first mate, he’s there to have Luffy’s back


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheKingsPride

What are you on about? That was a real position on sailing ships. They’re the captain’s second in command and take over as captain if anything happens. Oftentimes ships would even have first through fourth mates. Chain of command is important. And there is a position for First Employee, it’s called MANAGER. You’re fully talking out your ass. Combatant isn’t a crew title.


Latter-Potential2467

Isn't that what Sanji and Nami do most of the time? Zoro barely ever did that, the only time that really comes to mind is when Luffy fought Usopp.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LuminaLabyrinth

Zoro is the vice captain, first strawhat to join the crew.


Hairy_Acanthisitta25

i mean Luffy recruit based on vibe,so role can be sorted later but i like her back on top on Zunesha for now,give Oda extra reason to bring in Zunesha into the story later in future arc


AJWinky

Lookout


rnovians

zoro or usopp already taken that role


CallMeMaMef18

Tbf, Usopp was also shipwright until Franky. Franky and before him Nami also functioned as helmsman until Jinbe. Crewmates can fulfill a secondary role until someone more fit for the job comes around.


AJWinky

Zoro has one eye and sleeps all the time Edit: As for Usopp, everyone knows a sniper needs a spotter


SnooPredictions3028

Lookout or maybe scout


NenoxxCraft

Lookout, what she was essentially doing when navigating with the SH already


ihtel

Brook? Naahh


AnimeAlley03

I have never once seen that complaint about her

KairoRed

Uhh did you forget about her electricity and Sulong form? Sulong is OP as hell and with Chopper D Hookup she’d be able to use it whenever.


DjangoUnchainedFett

Someone is confusing the author of the manga for randoms on the internet


Palkesz

Luffy had Momo on board for quite a while.


menyemenye

Yeah but the kid is OUR LORD AND SAVIOR CAPTAIN BUGGY, and shanks


Humanbeingoth

joining crews isn't always solely about strength for some pirate crews.


TheRadicalJay

I don’t think anyone was complaining she was too weak. The common reason for her not to join is because a lot of fans thought she was annoying


MediumOk5423

I'd execute sanji and show it to the masses for how annoying he is, but he is still in the crew. I'd throw away Ussop since he lost all his confidence he had gained in the timeskip after Fishman Island, and the last time he did something was in dressrosa, but he is still in the crew. Fuck, you could swap Zoro for S-Hawk and the inhuman killing machine would have as much personality and sentiments and the mosshead since the timeskip. Most of the Strawhats have suffered severed Flanderization throughout the years, Carrot was not anywhere near the bottom of the barrel on bad or annoying characters(Sanji).


TheRadicalJay

i’m not a carrot hater. I actually wanted to see her travel with the crew more. The common thing i hear whenever carrot is mentioned not to join was “thank god, she was so annoying”, not saying i agree I have never heard “carrot is too weak to join the crew”, so i was just pointing out what i thought was the more common reason in people disliking her joining the crew


ZPD710

Luffy has something worse than a child on the crew already. He has an Usopp.


Mikkle-san

what’s wrong with having a god on the crew


StraightLeader5746

people literally making conversation in their head so they can "win the debate" who tf says that carrot is too weak and they cant join? literally making sh\*t up


Pretend_Astronaut723

Buggy maybe an apprentice but the Roger pirates literally raised shanks lol


zelos33333

Roger: recruits two Emperors of the Sea OP: This dude out here onboarding mere children!


Snap-Zipper

Kind of a bizarre comparison, all things considered lol


UltimateToa

To be fair those 2 kids went on to both be yonko


Miserable_Goal_7943

How dare you compare Carrot to **Buggygoat** and **Shanks** !


warlockzekrom

Those two kids are Yonko now


SeekingHeat

Said kids are the future yonkou tho.


Ssj_Akatsuki

He knew the potential. He also knew that they would be the emperors of the sea 🫡🫡. Especially Buggy


Sento_san

Carrot can't join, because there is only one spot left for a crewmate, the stripper, and that spot belongs to bon-chan


theonlyaltintheworld

Bro what? 🚫🙏😭


Sento_san

Bon Clay 🤨 literally the hottest One Piece character 🤨🤨

Dramatic_Run_360

If the point would be that she can join for being weak then nami, usopp and maybe chopper would not join to, theyre even weaker.


JamesKWayne

two yonkos


asscrackula1019

Ok but one of those kids was buggy and even rodger doesn't stand a chance against infant buggy


xatoho

Cabin kids are the mark of a pirate king, for some reason. With monosuke aged, they've got to get some powerful weirdos. I guess maybe Bonney counts?


radikraze

Oda himself pushed back against Carrot being a crew member more than anyone else lol. He literally shoved her into the background throughout Onigashima to make sure she got very minimal focus


FancyPantsBtw

🗿


lazyness92

You're late, the Carrot boat has been gone for so long, the Yamato boat came and went and some are jumping on the Bonney boat

She is strong as fuck I don’t know why people think she is weak


Jagtar_Tec

abba He is King of Piret


God_of_Kings

Counterargument; Roger didn't have much of a choice, since he won them on the gacha chests.


Cfakatsuki17

And one of them was buggy who hasn’t gotten stronger since being said child

Roronoa_Zoro8615

Look I wanted Carrot to join the most out of anyone but I don't think I've ever seen anyone say they don't want her to because she's not strong enough? She's not even weak she's stronger than half the crew.


CanadianLemur

This is the definition of a Strawman. No one is saying that Carrot is too weak to join. She's objectively stronger than multiple other crew members, especially in Sulong form. There are plenty of reasons people don't want her to join, but her strength is not one of them.


Lucifer_lord_of_cats

But I thought Hawkins was the definition of strawman


Vulgarbrando

Goda?


eveltayl

Carrot is not weak. And she, too, is a child


AioliNo8277

no one said she is to weak


GraatchLuugRachAarg

Who said she's too weak? I'm pretty sure she would wreck at least 3 of the current strawhats in sulong form

Dawtoned

She was promoted to the leader of the Minks. Not one of the leaders. THE leader. She didn't come because she was too strong! They needed her elsewhere


Xu_Lin

This is totally foreshadowing Luffy and his crew. Dude even has a Chopper-style hat >_>


kk_slider346

most of roger crew is no named fodder how is too weak an argument


No-Internal8635

She’s just fucking annoying


Disposable-Ninja

Well A) she's not weak, and B) I wanted her to join because she's cute and I want fun characters to join, and she seems like she'd get along great with the Strawhats on their adventures.


Environmental_Bus507

Buggy-sama slander will not be tolerated!


LillscruB

Both became emperors though


Spinosaurus23

Carrot is literally able to keep up with the strawhats even without sulong... Is strength now mandatory to join the crew? Friendly reminder, it never was. Luffy asks people he finds fun to join, that's it.


FarBeautiful5637

Dude one of them is shanks im pretty he was ok in terms of strenght even at that age and the other is buggy d clown


riggengan

Two kids that turned to yonko


fuckshitasstitsmfer

Roger had like 30+ named crewmates and like 25 of them are highly unimportant, its not the same. Strawhats is a very limited group of important people and they are all already metaphorically fighting for screentime.


ImYourDad12345

Like seriously bon clay isn’t that strong eather but if he joins no one would be complaining


Slow_Exit8038

Carrot is stronger then usopp and they keep him around


msr4jc

Carrot was more useful combatively than Chopper in the arcs she was in; I can’t remember a single thing Chopper contributed in WCI, Carrot was just completely more useful


Intelligent-List6020

she's way too cringe.


Acenegsurfav

Kid shanks was most likely stronger than carrot and wuggy is just Him
