Chapter 1096 Recap

After being rescued by Ivankov and Ginny, Kuma accompanied his two new friends to find the Devil Fruits promised to the winners of the Celestial Dragon Hunting games. As the kids attempted their heist, various groups began arriving at God Valley. Rocks and his imposing crew, the Roger Pirates, and Garp with his Marines.

Roger tried to prevent his fellow captain from causing havoc on the island, but Rocks disregarded his pleas. Near there, Ivankov and Kuma obtained the Devil Fruits, but Big Mom arrived to steal one from Ivankov. This Devil Fruit was revealed to be Kaido’s Azure Dragon Fruit. Still, Kuma was able to eat his, which transported him in front of Saturn, who tried to kill him.

The battle of God Valley was not presented, as the chapter skipped forward in time to show Kuma and Ginny living in the Sorbet Kingdom. The duo appeared to be crying with happiness, implying that Ginny was pregnant with Bonney. While the chapter was not as impactful as many fans expected, it still gave fans plenty of information about Kuma’s origins and what occurred in God Valley. In my opinion, Oda is preparing to make this arc into one that fans will never forget.
