Chapter 1096 of One Piece, titled "Kumachi," by Eiichiro Oda, translated by Stephen Paul, and lettered by Vanessa Satone, is filled with spoilers. It has proved to be one of the top chapters of the year, exceeding fans' expectations. This flashback successfully provides insight into the events unfolding in God Valley. From beginning to end, this chapter is truly astonishing and has left fans in awe.
The Native Hunting Games In God Valley Begin
One Piece chapter 1096 was truly remarkable, offering valuable insights into the events that took place in God Valley and shedding light on how Kuma successfully escaped from that location. With such sensational developments, it is undeniable that the excitement will only intensify moving forward.
In One Piece chapter 1096, the long-awaited Native Hunting Games in God Valley finally began. These games, which occur once every 3 years, result in the complete eradication of the population of a specific unaffiliated island, which is then incorporated into the World Government. As mentioned in the previous chapter, the island's inhabitants are referred to as "rabbits" in this deadly hunt. The objective is to accumulate points by killing as many rabbits as possible. Certain rabbits hold greater value, such as the exotic and rare races that have been introduced to the island. Characters like the Buccaneer child, Kuma, and others of their kind are considered rare targets.
The Celestial Dragons were fully committed to the chapter, with many of them already accumulating considerable points. For example, Saint Garling Figarland had successfully eliminated two rare rabbits, granting him 10,000 points, despite starting the competition with a 10,000-point deduction. As the Native Hunting Games progressed, the chapter unveiled the astonishing rewards at stake. Ginny, who demonstrated exceptional skills in espionage and intelligence gathering, uncovered that this year's competition offered two immensely powerful Devil Fruits. One of these fruits was recognized as one of the mightiest to ever exist, transforming the eater into an azure dragon. The other fruit bestowed its user with the ability to propel anything to different islands across the world. The majority of these Devil Fruits would facilitate their escape from God Valley, prompting the group to prioritize their acquisition.
The Arrival of Monsters in God Valley
Chapter 1096 of One Piece delves into the notorious God Valley Incident, shedding light on its primary instigator, Ginny herself. With extraordinary prowess, she unveiled this information to the world, which subsequently attracted the attention of the Rocks Pirates, as well as numerous other formidable pirate crews, who embarked on a quest to God Valley in pursuit of these formidable Devil Fruits. It seems that these prized Devil Fruits were potentially plundered from the very depths of the Pirate Island itself, a fact substantiated by Garp's imminent assignment to the island.
Kong revealed his need for Garp in God Valley without explaining why, fully aware that Garp's loyalty did not extend to protecting the Celestial Dragons. However, upon learning of Roger's presence on the island, Garp wasted no time in hastening towards God Valley. Meanwhile, fans were treated to the sight of the formidable Rocks Pirates descending upon the island, determined to seize the powerful fruits hidden there. Although Rocks himself did not make an appearance in this chapter, his booming voice echoed for the first time. The entire roster of the Rocks Pirates was on full display, boasting numerous renowned pirates. Standing prominently in the front was Whitebeard, with Stussy perched on his shoulder. Alongside him were Shiki, Linlin, Streusen, Kaido, Gloriosa, Captain John, Ochoku, and even Silver Axe.
Kuma Uses Hands of Liberation
With the entrance of the Rocks Pirates in God Valley, anticipation grew among fans as they knew that a clash was inevitable. Shortly after, the Roger Pirates made their dramatic appearance, with Roger, Rayleigh, and Gaban leading the charge. It became apparent that Roger had a significant connection to Rocks, as he expressed remorse for an event that unfolded a year prior. It is possible that Roger suffered a defeat at the hands of Rocks, or that something else of great importance occurred on Pirate Island in the distant past. Undeniably, Roger shared a profound history with Rocks.
It is fascinating to witness a younger version of Roger here, who bears a striking resemblance to Ace and dons the straw hat on his back. Meanwhile, Garp and his Navy group also arrived on the island, but unfortunately, the remaining events of the God Valley Incident were not depicted.
However, Oda meticulously presented the highly coveted Devil Fruits that played a central role in the story. Amidst the chaos, Ivankov and Kuma were able to obtain some of these Devil Fruits. Ivankov possessed the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryuu, but Big Mom arrived just in the nick of time and claimed the fruit for herself. She also attempted to seize Kuma's Devil Fruit, but he consumed it just in time and acquired its powers.
In a surprising turn of events, Saturn confronted Kuma and effortlessly took him down. Kuma, driven by his aspirations to emulate Nika, expressed that this desire stemmed from a significant event in his childhood. This chapter unveils the origins of Kuma's dream when he later shares this sentiment with Bonney upon her birth, showcasing a truly captivating tale.
Chapter 1096 of One Piece marks the final appearance of God Valley. However, a revelation later unfolds, disclosing that Kuma successfully rescued an astounding 500 individuals on that fateful day through his liberating abilities. The truth behind the events on the island remained concealed, with Garp unjustly receiving all the recognition. Utilizing his remarkable powers, Kuma transported himself and numerous others to various islands across the world. Ultimately, he, along with Ginny and Ivankov, settled in the enchanting Sorbet Kingdom, as depicted towards the chapter's conclusion.
With a strong sense of liberation, Ivankov embarks on an expedition, pledging to reunite with Kuma in the future. Meanwhile, Kuma and Ginny remain on the island, forging a new life for themselves by earnestly toiling to secure enough funds for nourishing meals that satiate their hunger for the first time ever. This thrilling narrative flashback captivates fans and leaves them yearning for more. Luckily, there will be no hiatus next week, ensuring that One Piece will continue to offer astounding moments akin to the ones witnessed in this chapter.
