Epic Revelation in One Piece Chapter 1096: Kuma's Heroic Sacrifice at Egghead Island Unveiled!

One Piece chapter 1096 is expected to take a brief break before its official release, leading fans to speculate about what will happen next in Eiichiro Oda's manga series. While it is widely believed that the God Valley flashback will continue, fans are uncertain about the specific aspect of the island's notorious incident that will become the immediate focus in the upcoming chapter.

It is highly probable that One Piece chapter 1096 will continue to depict the momentous encounter between two future founding members of the Revolutionary Army, Emporio Ivankov and Bartholomew Kuma. Given that the previous issue concluded with their apparent first meeting, it is the most logical progression for the next installment.

Kuma’s dream set to be confirmed in One Piece chapter 1096, set up heroic rescue of true Warrior of Liberation

However, an important aspect of One Piece chapter 1096's continuation of their initial encounter is highly relevant to current events on Egghead Island. Specifically, the conversation between Kuma and Ivankov confirms that Kuma will willingly sacrifice himself at Egghead to protect his daughter, Jewelry Bonney, and the others who are present.

In the lead-up to One Piece chapter 1096, Egghead Island faces a dire situation, especially for Jewelry Bonney. The story then delves into a flashback that reveals the background of Bartholomew Kuma, her father. During his formative years, Kuma is greatly influenced by the legendary figure of Sun God Nika, known as the Warrior of Liberation.

When Kuma and Ivankov cross paths for the first time, Kuma is likely to express his aspiration of liberating people worldwide, mirroring the ideals of the Warrior of Liberation. This pivotal moment forms the basis of their shared desire to establish the Revolutionary Army alongside Monkey D. Dragon. Furthermore, by articulating this ambition, Kuma establishes it as the guiding principle for his life as a whole.

This has been observed well before the events of One Piece chapter 1096, specifically in the Sabaody Archipelago and Return to Sabaody story arcs. In the former, Kuma's final act as an autonomous human was to voluntarily rescue the Straw Hat Pirates. Subsequently, his last wish as a human was to safeguard the Thousand Sunny, their ship, until one of their own returned to reclaim it two years later.

Having acquired knowledge about Kuma's origins, it becomes evident that this scene represents his lifelong aspiration of becoming a Warrior of Liberation and rescuing people. Interestingly, he unintentionally saves Monkey D. Luffy, who is the true reincarnation of the Warrior of Liberation, without Luffy or the readers realizing it at the time.

Keeping all of this in mind, fans can now comprehend the imminent danger that Jewelry Bonney faces on Egghead Island in One Piece chapter 1096. Although the God Valley Flashback is likely to continue, fans can expect Kuma to make a sacrificial appearance on Egghead Island to save Bonney and the others. If the upcoming issue highlights Kuma reaffirming his dream of rescuing people, it will essentially confirm this inevitability.
