Chapter 1096 recap
One Piece chapter 1096 began with the start of the human hunt, while Kong told Garp to head to God Valley because Roger and other pirates were also headed there. Meanwhile, Ivankov lectured to other slaves about how cruel this is, eventually revealing a plan to escape the island via the prizes of the human hunting game.
On the other hand, Ginny elaborated that what would eventually become Kaido and Kuma’s Fish-Fish and Paw-Paw Fruits could both allow them all to escape. Ginny revealed that she leaked info of the event to the world two weeks ago, which should give them the chaos they need to steal the Fruits. On queue, the Rocks and Roger Pirates showed up, with the former crew’s arrival revealing that Elder Nyon of the Kuja was once a part of the group.
Garp showed up shortly thereafter, allowing Ivankov and Kuma to steal the two Devil Fruits. While Big Mom was able to take Kaido’s before it was eaten, Kuma ate his Paw-Paw Fruit. After a confrontation with Saint Saturn, Kuma saved himself, Ginny, Ivankov, and 500 other people. He and Ginny then parted ways with Ivankov from the Sorbet Kingdom, beginning to live their own happy life there together as the issue ended.
What to expect (speculative)?
Following the conclusion of this section of the God Valley flashback, One Piece chapter 1097 is likely to begin laying the groundwork for Kuma eventually joining the Revolutionary Army. Unfortunately, it seems that this will most likely come out of tragedy regarding Ginny’s death, likely after she’s revealed to be Jewelry Bonney’s mother.
In turn, One Piece chapter 1097 should see Kuma meet Monkey D. Dragon, and reunite with Emporio Ivankov. It will, in fact, likely be Ivankov who introduces the two, possibly hearing of a tragedy within the Sorbet Kingdom and returning to check in on his friends. In any case, fans can expect Kuma’s flashback to begin progressing toward his eventual joining the Revolutionary Army.
