In the previous chapter, readers were told of a disturbing event that occurred at God Valley, orchestrated by the World Government due to the island's allegedly blasphemous name. This event, known as the Native Hunting Competition, took place every three years, during which the entire population of an island was hunted down as game, and the island itself was obliterated.

It is an incident that is said to have been known only to a few people, primarily those affiliated with the World Government.

However, spoilers for One Piece chapter 1096, provided by the reputable leaker Redon, reveal that the pirate world had prior knowledge of the impending catastrophe at God Valley thanks to Ginny, who managed to steal a Den Den Mushi and shared information about the unfortunate scenario two weeks before. The reason Roger and Rocks appeared on the island in the first place was because they had heard this news.

The Rocks Pirates were a notorious band that included Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Kaido, all of whom went on to become Emperors of the Sea. However, what truly set them apart was their captain's dream of becoming the King of the World. This desire led them to God Valley, where they planned to carry out the assassination of the World Nobles.

According to spoilers for One Piece chapter 1096, Kong summoned Garp and entrusted him with protecting the World Nobles at God Valley.

Meanwhile, on the island, Roger and Rocks got into an argument, as Roger sought to thwart Rocks' plans. It thus seems that fans might soon get to see the infamous battle in God Valley in which Roger and Garp teamed up against Rocks.

Nonetheless, there is a strong possibility that Oda will choose not to depict this epic battle. The mangaka has a history of letting crucial battles to unfold in the backdrop, leaving fans both intrigued and sometimes disappointed.

There is, of course, a lot more to the chapter, such as hints suggesting that Joyboy might have belonged to the Buccaneer race, and a potential revelation that Ginny is, in fact, Bonney's mother.
