Summary
One Pieceis currently in one of its best run of chapters ever and much of that is thanks to the ongoing events on Egghead Islandin the final sagaof the story. Oda has not taken the foot off the gas ever since this final saga began and he continues to ramp up the intensity even more with each passing chapter.
The previous chapter of the story was certainly the very best one in the final saga so far, and fans expectOne Piecechapter 1096 to be just as great, if not better. There are lots of things to be explored inOne Piece1096 and fans absolutely cannot wait for that to happen.

The Birth Of A Friendship Between Kuma And Ivankov
One Piecechapter 1096 will most likely continue from where the previous chapter left off, covering the events surrounding Kuma on God Valley. After Kuma escaped from his captors, he was found by other slaves, who attempted to take him back to the celestial dragons. This was done because they did not want to die themselves as they would instead be punished and executed. As a result, they did their best to retrieve Kuma and spare themselves from this massive punishment. However, right at the exact time, fans wereintroduced to a younger Ivankovand, with him, a completely new character named Ginny.
These two characters are going to be incredibly important in this flashback and fans absolutely cannot wait forOne Piecechapter 1096 to dive into them. Most likely, the next chapter will see the blooming of a friendship between these characters. For his entire life, Kuma has never had a friend. In fact, fans have not even seen him interact much with anyone other than his own parents. He has spent the last 9 years in captivity and doesn’t know what a true bond with someone other than his parents would feel like.

This is the time for Kuma to express his feelings, his emotions, dreams, and wants, and fans expect that to come inOne Piecechapter 1096. It is highly likely that the trio of Kuma, Ivankov, and Ginny will escape together to a safer place, however, they will most likely still be in God Valley. This means that the Navy will try to amplify their search for these slaves and, as the hunting games begin, these characters will have to fend for themselves against the oppressive celestial dragons.
The Basis For The Freedom Fighters
One Piece1096 will most likely also see the basis for the Freedom Fighters being formed. At the moment, Ivankov is the only one who mentioned his aspirations. In the previous chapter, he made it very clear that he intended to live no matter what. Ginny, although a very mysterious character so far, likely wants to follow him, however, she probably also has her own aspirations, which fans will find out in the upcoming few chapters, possiblyOne Piece1096.Kuma, on the other hand, likely has many dreams, however, the biggest one of them all is to liberate people and be a hero.
This is something that he mentioned to Bonney and, fans might see this idea being uttered by him for the very first time in the next chapter. Kuma could share the legend of Nika with Ivankov and the others as well. This idea of liberating people and bringing smiles to their faces could end up becoming the basis for the Freedom Fighters. Fans know that the Freedom Fighters were an organization established by Dragon before he properly established the Revolutionary Army. The Freedom Fighters could very well start here in God Valley, 38 years ago.

It is also possible that Dragon might show himself for the very first time on this island and join forces with Ivankov, Kuma, and Ginny. If that happens, then the freedom fighters will truly be formed here on this island and that is certainly something that all fans would love to see. Of course, the decision rests with the Oda, however, it is highly likely for it to happen here in God Valley, possibly starting from One Piece chapter 1096.
The Hunting Games Begin
Fans can also expectOne Piece1096 to focus on the hunting games of the Celestial Dragons. As seen in the previous chapter, they have already murdered the King of the nation and, from here onwards, they will hunt down the population of God Valley, cleansing the island before they assimilate it into one of their territories. All the Celestial Dragons will hunt down many civilians, however, most of the focus will likely be on Saint Garling. Fans know for a fact that he is an incredibly skilled fighter and even though he was given a massive penalty of 10,000 points in the previous chapter, he will still end up winning, which just goes to show that he will go on an indiscriminate massacre.
The hunting games will also likely give the slaves a chanceto regroup and resist the power of the Celestial Dragons. For the first time, their chains are off their hands and necks and this means they can resist. This also means that the Celestial Dragons themselves could face some backlash and some might even get injured, which would then explain why the Navy would come to God Valley.

The Rocks Pirates Make Their Move
Finally,One Piecechapter 1096 could also focus on the Rocks Pirates. Fans know that during this time, the Rocks Pirates were incredibly active and likely the strongest crew on the ocean. This crew eventually found its way to God Valley when Celestial Dragons were present there. This all but confirms that they are only a few chapters away from attacking this place and, when that happens, the God Valley Incident will finally begin.One Piecechapter 1096 could set the basis for the God Valley Incident to finally kickstart and that means the upcoming chapter is going to be huge in every single way.
Fans absolutely cannot wait forOne Pieceto explore the God Valley Incident properly. Major characters, such asthe members of the Rocks Pirates, Garp, the Roger Pirates, and those already on the island will all come together and lead to a catastrophic event that will reverberate around the One Piece world. It is surely going to be incredibly exciting and fans absolutely cannot wait for it.
One Piece is available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and theManga Plusapp. Unfortunately, One Piece will be on break next week. The release date for the next chapter of One Piece, One Piece 1096, is set to be June 29, 2025.
