New One Piece chapter 1096 spoilers were released on Monday, October 23, 2023, continuing the thrilling God Valley flashback. The latest issue explores Bartholomew Kuma and Emporio Ivankov's escape from their fate with the help of the Paw-Paw Fruit, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what comes next in the flashback. However, the focus on God Valley suddenly ends in the One Piece chapter 1096 spoilers, as Kuma, Ivankov, and Ginny flee to the Sorbet Kingdom. The spoilers also reveal that the entire God Valley Incident has not been shown yet, hinting at a continuation of the flashback.
One Piece chapter 1096 spoilers confirm nine fragmented God Valley flashbacks to mirror nine Real Poneglyphs
: The One Piece chapter 1096 spoilers seemingly validate a widely embraced fan theory regarding the organizational structure and presentation of the God Valley flashback. This theory, initially proposed by @3SkullJoe (Typical Joe), an active Twitter user and renowned theorist of the series, implies that the number nine will hold significant significance in the True History of the world as well as in God Valley's narrative.God Valley flashback theory, explained

As previously mentioned, Typical Joe initially formulated this theory and shared it in July 2023. It is worth noting that Joe's theory predates the release of One Piece chapter 1096 spoilers, which now appear to validate the theory's accuracy. Notably, the theory predicts Kuma as the fourth fragment of the flashback, a prediction that has since been confirmed.
Furthermore, Joe has consistently maintained that there will be a total of nine fragmented flashbacks to unveil the truth of God Valley, aligning with the world's True History. In the realm of the series, the True History is recorded on the Real Poneglyphs, of which there are believed to be nine.
With the confirmation of the One Piece chapter 1096 spoilers, it appears that Kuma's fragmented flashback is one of the nine mentioned earlier. This leaves us with a remaining five from the initial list. We have already seen flashbacks of Sengoku, Big Mom, Kaido, and now Kuma. According to Joe's assertions, the final five flashbacks will belong to Ochoku (Wang Zhi), Stussy, Monkey D. Garp, Figarland Garling, and Gol D. Roger.

Although some of the specific characters can have their flashbacks replaced, it is evident that Joe's theory is being validated on a larger scale. The numerous fragmented flashbacks shown so far indicate that the series' author and illustrator, Eiichiro Oda, intends to reveal the God Valley Incident story in multiple parts.
Based on the spoilers from One Piece chapter 1096, it is highly likely that Ochoku, Garp, and Garling will be the ones to share their flashbacks, as they are currently present on God Valley. Despite Ochoku not yet being formally introduced in the series, his significant role in recent events and past affiliation with the Rocks Pirates solidify his eventual appearance.
Garp, on the other hand, has earned the title of hero for his valiant act of rescuing the Celestial Dragons from the notorious Rocks Pirates. He is intimately familiar with this incident and feels compelled to share his vivid flashback of that event. Likewise, Figarland Garling plays a pivotal role in the series' endgame and holds great significance as a formidable presence on God Valley during the occurrence of the incident.

Based on the One Piece chapter 1096 spoilers, the remaining candidates are Stussy and Roger. Stussy is considered a potential candidate because she is a clone of the original Buckingham Stussy, who was a former Rocks Pirate. It is worth noting that the evidence suggests that the clone retains the memories of the original. However, it may be questionable to have Stussy reveal the God Valley flashback while the original Buckingham Stussy is still alive.
On the other hand, Gol D. Roger has been deceased for quite some time. Having his flashback included as one of the nine would essentially be a flashback within a flashback. While fans may not have much of an issue with this, a more logical choice from a narrative perspective would be to have Silvers Rayleigh, Roger's living second-in-command, reveal the flashback.

The One Piece chapter 1096 spoilers have essentially confirmed that Typical Joe's (@3SkullJoe on X) theory is now considered canon. While some of his choices for the final flashbacks may be debatable, they are still logical options considering the individuals involved in the God Valley Incident.
