I think Carrot is being presented as "the naive/adorable/energetic/spoiled little sister", and it's fitting with the siblings/brotherly interactions of the straw hats. Even Luffy seems more mature than her, which is funny lol

Well yeah. They just looked too good to be together in a panel
1. Food fight
2. Might kill luffy
3. Same naiveity
4. Height proportion is perfect for being a girl beside luffy
5. Not a normal person
6. Not predictable by fans. Oda and his ways.
7. this is the fisrt time oda draw luffy that close with a girl. that skinship. Oda only shows luffy like that with nami - boa or whoever for fanservice. i noticed it because of this. This is that rare.
8. I think im going crazy. Thats just 1 chapter of them being together and i.. wanna be luffy's wife instead. Lol. I think shes a candidate. And i think im really paranoid. -.-
┗( T﹏T )┛ .. why. Carrot and luffy look good together.. look at them.. at this rate carrot's gonna be on "luffy's might be wife"
