Highlights
The Celestial Dragons hold hunting games every 3 years where they release slaves from different races and hunt them down, considering them inferior beings.
The island of God Valley, which was under the control of the World Government, was designated as a hunting ground. However, the King opposed this decision, leading to his demise and the continuation of the games.
Kuma, a former slave belonging to the mighty Buccaneer race, managed to escape from the games and teamed up with other former slaves. Together, they formed a group that includes Emporio Ivankov and Jinny.
One Piece has recently provided extensive information about the world's history, particularly regarding God Valley. The island was initially introduced to fans during the Wano arc, with clear indications that it would have future significance in the storyline. While fans were eager for this aspect of the story to be explored earlier, it is now evident that Oda had a distinct and remarkable plan in mind.
In the Egghead arc, Oda finally unveils the initial detailed flashback of God Valley, which directly connects to the activities of the Celestial Dragons. These powerful individuals are now revealed to have organized slave-hunting games on different islands.
The Hunting Games Of The Celestial Dragons
In One Piece Chapter 1095, it is revealed that every three years, the Celestial Dragons engage in cruel hunting games. These games involve releasing slaves from different races onto a specific island and then hunting them down. The participant who captures the most slaves is declared the champion, while the races that are caught are exterminated. This showcases the extreme wickedness of the Celestial Dragons, who consider those outside of their bloodline to be inferior beings.
These hunting games pose a significant danger, and it is plausible that throughout history, they have led to the complete eradication of numerous races. This could explain why there are now only a few surviving races in the One Piece world. For example, the Lunarian race, once regarded as the gods of the world, is now entirely extinct, with King being the sole survivor. It is likely that other races have faced similar fates, as revealed in Chapter 1095. This chapter also focuses heavily on the character of Kuma, who plays a crucial role in the Final Saga and will continue to hold importance in the story moving forward.
The Hunting Games On God Valley
Around 38 years ago, the Celestial Dragons initiated a hunting game on the island of God Valley. Despite its name, God Valley had no connection to the celestial dragons initially. It was an independent island, unaffiliated with the World Government, but its abundant natural resources earned it the name God Valley. Unfortunately, the island became a hunting ground for the Celestial Dragons, who disregarded the objections of the King and proceeded with their cruel games.
During this event, numerous Celestial Dragons were present, most of them known for their weakness. However, two exceptional individuals stood out among them - Saint Garling Figarland and Saint Saturn. These characters were revealed to possess immense power. In recent chapters of One Piece, Saturn has demonstrated his abilities, while Garling revealed himself to be extraordinarily strong in the previous chapter. Additionally, Kuma, a member of the special Buccaneer race, was also involved in the hunting games as a slave.
Champion Of God Valley
In One Piece chapter 1095, the renowned character Saint Garling, who is closely associated with Shanks, made an appearance as the champion of God Valley. When the Celestial Dragons initiated their games in God Valley, the King voiced his objection, resulting in Garling himself killing the King. As a consequence, Garling received a penalty that set him at a disadvantage from the start.
Nonetheless, Garling's unwavering confidence in his abilities led him to believe that he would effortlessly emerge as the winner of the competition. It was evident just by observing him that Saint Garling was the frontrunner, and being referred to as the Champion of God Valley solidifies the fact that he ultimately triumphed in this contest.
Kuma And The Buccaneer Race
As the flashback continues, there is anticipation surrounding the progress of the hunting games on God Valley. Fans are eagerly looking forward to uncovering how Shanks became a member of the Roger Pirates and discovering the depth of his connection with Garling. Additionally, the forthcoming depiction of the war against the Rocks Pirates is expected to captivate the audience's attention.
The story of Kuma is the most crucial aspect of the slave-hunting games on Egghead Island. In the previous chapter, it was revealed that Kuma was born into slavery due to the leakage of information regarding his bloodline, which reached the World Government. Consequently, the last remaining members of the Buccaneer race, Kuma's parents, tragically perished as a result of this ordeal. Despite their smaller stature, the Buccaneer race possessed the blood of the giants, which made them exceptionally powerful. However, their past actions included a transgression against the World Government, ultimately leading to a hefty price that Kuma and his family had to pay.
Kuma, a long-time slave, was brought to God Valley to be used as a pawn by the Celestial Dragons. However, in the latest chapter, Kuma successfully escaped, only to be captured by fellow slaves who were afraid of the consequences if he got away. They tried to return him to the Celestial Dragons, but were stopped by two other slaves, Emporio Ivankov and a slave named Jinny.
Fans discovered that both Ivankov and Jinny had also suffered as former slaves and it's apparent that they form a team with Kuma. The fans are eagerly anticipating the story of how they managed to escape and unite with Dragon, as well as what happens to them next. Although there is a temporary break in the storyline, fans can be reassured that the God Valley flashback will continue in the upcoming chapters of One Piece.
One Piece can be accessed for free by fans through the official Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps provided by Viz Media. The upcoming chapter, One Piece 1095, is scheduled to be released on October 15, 2023.
