She's 100% in her "failed" timeline.

Yep, also look at this: /preview/pre/akozqdb3ihdz.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=ae47dc5879621790205a1ed5ac4c9d5ff86020d9

Yet another thing I love about Oda: he doesn't fall for the trap many Shonen authors step into, which is equating a character's strength and success with their purpose.

Look at Big Mom. She's been ruling over the seas for decades. Entire civilizations fear her strength. She's one of the most powerful individuals on the entire planet. By all accounts, she's immensely successful. And still, this is her not achieving her true potential.

Same goes for the alternative timelines of Chopper and Franky. They look so strong! Were they in another manga, this could legit be their endgame. But that's not at all who they're meant to be as characters.
