The raw scans for One Piece chapter 1096 were released on October 25, 2023, offering a revealing glimpse into an important aspect of the series. While these leaks are unofficial and will only be considered canonical once Shueisha releases the chapter, spoiler sources for the series have proven to be highly accurate in the past. Fans are eagerly discussing these raw scans as if they are officially part of the story, and for good reason. Although the God Valley flashback is unfortunately abbreviated, fans are treated to a full view of the Rocks Pirates crew (excluding Rocks himself, who remains hidden in a silhouette).

One Piece chapter 1096 opens with the start of the human hunting tournament, where the enslaved people and natives of God Valley are released to participate. Garling Figarland and three other Holy Knights prepare for the hunt, while the citizens and slaves flee from the normal Celestial Dragons.

Meanwhile, at Marine headquarters, Kong contacts Monkey D. Garp, who is taking a vacation. Kong shares information about God Island, leaving Garp shocked and captivated by the news. The perspective briefly shifts to Hachinosu, where a group of random pirates can be heard conversing.

One Piece chapter 1096 raw scans reveal the return to God Valley, where Ivankov engages in a conversation with Kuma and the remaining slaves who are yet to face death. Ivankov issues a cautionary message regarding the peril posed by Celestial Dragons, while Garling ruthlessly massacres some of the other enslaved individuals. To Ivankov's surprise, a Fishman frees him from his chains by biting down on them, adding a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos. Meanwhile, Ginny inexplicably employs Transponder Snails for unknown reasons.

In the content, Ivankov excitedly discusses Kaido's Mythical Zoan-type Fish Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon, and the Paramecia-type Paw-Paw Fruit that eventually became Kuma's. Kuma then volunteers to eat one of the fruits. The raw scans of One Piece chapter 1096 then show the Rocks Pirates battling the Marines in the seas surrounding God Valley. The crew, including Captain John, Big Mom, Kaido, Shiki, Whitebeard, Elder Nyon, Buckingham Stussy, and two unidentified members named Silver Axe and Ochoku, are prominently featured on a full page.

As the Marine is being berated by the Celestial Dragons for the presence of pirates, it becomes apparent that the Roger Pirates have also made their entrance. At this juncture, Roger is depicted as being without a beard and continues to sport his signature Straw Hat, while the remainder of his crew bears a resemblance to their past depictions in preceding flashbacks.

Garling seems ready to confront them, but the situation changes when Monkey D. Garp and his right-hand man, Bogard, arrive on the island. Meanwhile, Kuma manages to snatch the Paw-Paw Fruit and Ivankov the Fish-Fish Fruit. However, right after, Big Mom shows up and takes the Fruit that would eventually belong to Kaido from Ivankov.

In a quick move, Kuma consumes his Fruit, while Big Mom keeps Ivankov under control. Ivankov seems thrilled that at least one of the Fruits has been successfully eaten. However, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn emerges and attacks Kuma. Despite being in his human form, scans of One Piece chapter 1096 reveal black flames and lightning surrounding Saturn, reminiscent of his transformation process on Egghead Island.

Before an overview of God Valley is provided, Saturn and Kuma engage in a conversation. The focus then shifts to the Sorbet Kingdom, where Ivankov, Kuma, and Ginny reside contentedly and without restrictions. Notably, Kuma's Devil Fruit powers have caused his hands to sprout distinctive paws. However, Ivankov appears to depart shortly thereafter, leaving Ginny and Kuma behind.

In One Piece chapter 1096 raw scans, we witness Kuma and Ginny engaged in their daily routine, working hard to earn a livelihood by chopping and selling wood. When some children maliciously target Kuma, Ginny bravely defends him. In gratitude, Kuma utilizes his Fruit's extraordinary abilities to relieve their pain. As the chapter concludes, we find them peacefully dining together, truly savoring the blissful life they have built.
