Chapter 1096: Kumachi
-
-
Other than Whitebeard, who was in a relationship with Stussy, Kaido seemed to be the only other man interested in having a lover given how he became a dad. If Gloriosa isn’t Yamato’s mom, an Amazon brave enough to sail alongside Kaido to God Valley, then I think it’s worth asking who it would be then.
-
Whi said he had Yamato with someone he loved. He can have done like Big Mum
Anyway, the chapter was not worse all the hype the spoiler providers have made but it was still interesting. Even if God Valley main events have been kept for later which have disappointed a lot of people.
The end of the chapter is sweet unfortunately we know this will be short. Ginny being a gluton seems to hint that she is Bonney mum. So I can't wait to see what happens next
-
There building up the paw paw fruit, I think someone else will get it and it will definitely come into play later on in the story

There's been a theory for years that Kuma would join because of something with the numbers of the devil fruits in Japanese. I think Oda even addressed it in an SBS years ago.
-
Ginney is a mom in a One Piece flashback, she's boned.
-
"Only options are slavery and death". Well, Kuma lowkey chose both because now he's "dead" and a slave, but for some reason he's trying to get somewhere.
Every scan I read made it hard for me to see the extra arms. Now I can see it.
I feel like this Murder Game on GV being Oda's appetizer for the flashback is crazy. Just imagine what makes Kuma into a "tyrant", the Bonney situation, Ginny, and why he submit himself to being the WG's weapon.
Bulk of the chapter is how disgusting the CDs are and I get Oda's messaging here. If this game is horrible, just imagine what they do to Sobret and Kuma.
It throws me back to 1 of my favorite panels where Dragon is shocked at what Goa got Sabo to say.
Its not just the CDs being disgusting, but the royalty after Kuma and his parents were enslaved - being disgusting as well. Its key because someone leaked that information about Kuma's blood. Probably Kuma's mother side of the family did this.
Okay, Manmayer with 1 n. Dressrosa and Alabasta are 2 of the 20. CDs can be executed for harming each other.

Maybe nobody... Maybe Yamato was adopted like Uta was by Shanks...

Interesting to note that the Seiryuu/Azure Dragon fruit is called one of the strongest DFs out there, being in the same class as the Quake and Darkness Fruits. Seeing as the Seiryu got introduced, I hope we get to see the Black Tortoise, White Tiger and the Vermilion Bird.
As for who may have the left over Fruits:
- Black Tortoise - perhaps the Burned Man, seeing he's residing on a black ship and causes whirlpools to any ship that nears him.
- White Tiger - perhaps one of the Giant race
- Vermilion Bird - Marcus Mars of the Gorosei, given his shadowed form looked avian.
Another possibility, but unlikely is Shanks's sword, Gryphon, having the Suzaku fruit, and this is mainly due to the fact that in Film Red, his sword can be coated with an aura of flames and he generated an avian head of blue energy when he did that combination attack with Luffy against Tot Musica.
Of course, it has also been confirmed that Shanks doesn't use any DF at all, but I'm not sure if his sword eating one counts with that fact. I still think Marcus Mars is the safer guess.
-
I had not noticed the God knight wearing a cow skull for a mask. That's rad.
-
Oh, i hadn't thought about the possibily of Shanks' sword having a devil fruit... I like it. All the emperors have had devil fruit powers. It makes their fights more interesting. How boring if his fighting style is just meant to emulate Roger's...

Well that would add an interesting dimension to things. I wonder if Oda would be daring enough to do such a thing…

When did he say that? If Gloriosa isn’t Kaido’s lover, then I suppose the person she fell in love with may come into play soon enough given the revelation that has been revealed.
Could even take a step further and say Rocks was Gloriosa’s lover, assuming he was interested in romance in the first place.
Also, I think the chapter did well to focus on Kuma’s point of view. Will be interesting to see where his Nika plot line goes.

Can't be, considering the whole "ogre blood" stuff.

It can take fatigue and pain away.
There’s someone in egghead very fatigued right now. -
@access-timeco Ehh, couldn't that be precisely the reason why Kaido would adopt her? Not sure how much "ogre blood" is actually a thing though considering it wasn't brought up in Kaido's backstory. I guess every character with horns would have "ogre blood".
-
Seems that there’s agreement that Streusen was part of the Rocks Pirates after all.

If it wasn't for the ability to take away pain and fatigue I'd tots buy into the theory and say he or whoever gets his fruit would join
especially because of the 2.9 devil fruit theory like you said
-
@Shiebs I don't really buy into it, but it's interesting to note after this chapter. If the Straw Hats were to ever get some sort of item imbued with a devil fruit, it would be cool if it were Kuma's and having Vegapunk in the vicinity would allow for it. I don't really see that happening, but I do think his hands need to become the "hands of liberation" at least one more time and I hope it's awesome.

Yeah the hands of liberation line definitely set up for something in the future, I assume we'll see the devil fruit again because of that, especially after hearing his race were companions of nika too
-
Someone pointed out on the spoiler thread that the hat kid in this chapter was likely the hat guy on Bonney's crew. I just noticed the mohawk one is also there:
-
@Shiebs The Buccaneer stuff feels to me like its inching towards the secret of giant people in the OP world. I can't recall exactly when or where, but I feel like Oda has mentioned there being something important about Whitebeard sized characters who aren't quite giants.

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if the family tree of Giants branched off into various branches, like Onis, Buccaneers, etc.
Otherwise, not sure how Buccaneers having Giants blood would be explained.

Ginny, ultimate mastermind of OP.

@King-Cannon What one smart character can do in a world of goofballs

Ch 1097 predictions:
- Probable end of Vol. 108
- I think it will cover the next 13 or 14 years of Kuma’s life (year of Roger finding One Piece or Roger’s execution)
- Kuma becomes king of Sorbet by popular acclaim
- Ginny may be pregnant
- Elders meet to discuss Kuma

I only really came up with the idea due to Film Red showing Shanks with the ability to ignite his sword in an aura of fire and showcasing a bird's head in the final attack he did together with Luffy to defeat Tot Musica. (Unless that part is considered non-canon.)
I mean, unless it is another application of Haki, it would make sense his sword, Gryphon, has the Suzaku Fruit imbued in it. The only other guy with this hypothetical fruit would be Marcus Mars from the Gorosei.
Can't really say for sure unless Shanks or Marcus goes all out and doesn't hold back in future fights.
-
It's a small detail, but Streusen has to be one of the luckiest pirates in One Piece. The man caught a future Emperor eating people and it lead to a career rubbing elbows with the best in the world and a ton of riches. Considering he seems to be retired as a chef, I hope this evil bastard is happy with the life he's had.
Also, in this flashback I look forward to finding out what Bonney's real age is as well as the circumstances of her birth, as it can really give us insight into Kuma's action as well. There's a difference if he did what he did leaving behind a newborn, child, or full grown adult and we still have 40 years of flashback to work with. In addition, thanks to Vegapunk's tech there's even a possibility of cloning. It's crazy how many directions this could go.
-
This was definitely a good chapter, content wise.
The problem is how said content is presented, though.
At this point I hardly feel like I'm being told a story, and more like I'm simply being given information about a story.
It's just scene after scene, half of which are left unresolved with an * that points to a footnote saying "promise we're keeping this for later, now moving on", most having close to no time to sink in and be meaningful on their own. Blink and you might miss that Saturn was in this chapter at all.
I'm invested in Kuma's story, and he ended up having so much plot threads stacked on him that I doubt many would mind one more chapter devoted to him rather then one less. Instead this feels like we're going through ticking as many checkboxes as possible with the pages at disposal. -
Oh shit is that Bogard. It's been so long. A little bitter that when he finally shows up again it is to help out the human hunt, but whatever at least he has a non-zero chance of doing something.
-

I think this was just a prelude (as in: here's quick overview of Kuma's origins and early life), and from now on the flashback will take its time to flesh out Kuma's story. At least, I hope so. The big incoming tragedy won't hit as hard if we don't have time to contemplate Kuma's life before it.
-
How Kuma will be known as a tyrann is intriguing.
Also Ginny being MVP to have such a masterplan to bring all those partys to the island to get the chaos they needed, well played.
Iam a bit sour not getting to see Rocks and just getting a first glimpse to a full GodValley flashback, but Oda made me used to getting teased over the years...but i thought we´re in the final stretch where everything gets revealed but Oda just can´t help himself in keeping a few aces up his sleeve^^ -
@Don-Quichotte-De-Flamingo said in Chapter 1096: Kumachi:

Propaganda, most likely. The government goers in, deposes Kuma, spreads gossip among the population, news abroad tell other nations a false story. Those who know better and try to speak up are silenced or quietly disappear.
-
The conversation of the Rocks pirates is a bit confusing as to what it is they’re looking for. Whitebeard’s talk feels like they’re looking for something specifically while Kaido and Big Mom seems like they’re talking about devil fruits.
Ivanko is Ivanko. Heck, Ivanko was more Ivanko than I’ve ever seen him being Ivanko. Nothing gets this guy down.
I keep being disappointed at Roger and Garp. What the heck, let Rocks go wild. Why are they getting in his way.
The Holy knights, again Roger my boy, let Rocks and his pirates do what needs to be done. These Holy knights, seemed to be full of themselves even with pirates attacking. I really want to know their ability. Are they jus entitled shits?. I really wanted them to get their comeuppance.
How did this battle go?.
Garp chasing Roger, Roger chasing Rocks, the rest of the rocks pirates and Roger pirates fighting each other perhaps?. And What were the Holy knights doing, sneaking and Backstabbing pirates who were cornered?.
Of the Rogers pirates, I can confidently count Rayleigh and Gaban as elite fighter but Whitebeard, Big Mom and Kaido have the advantage there. Whitebeard alone was equal to Roger.
Let’s count the top fighters that we know for sure: Roger, Garp, Rocks, whitebeard and Big Mom.
I’m putting Kaido around Rayleigh and Gaban.So the Top fighters are in the Rocks side, how the heck did they lose unless maybe the Holy knights tipped the balance of power in favor of Roger and Garp, nahh I refuse to believe that. To me the Holy knights seem to be the types that sneaks around and stabs defenseless or cornered people and then takes the credit.
One more thing, the chapter made it seem like Rocks was not the boss of Fulllead island. Maybe the Island was kind of like Holy ground for pirates or neutral ground where pirates are not allowed to attack each other or do any violence but who would impose these rules?.
-
One thing that didn't caught my attention before was Buckinham and Gloriosa saying this would be the final battle that would settle everything.
Weird, why would that be? They only went there to retrieve something the WG took from Beehive, it shouldn't be anything special about the place or the situation for it to be considered their decisive battle.(inb4 they were talking about their own battle over Newgate)

I don't think they have the same objectives at all.

People seem to think Rocks wants to kill Celestial Dragons here and Roger and Garp want to stop him, but I don't think it's anything close to that. Rocks is not the hero here.

(inb4 they were talking about their own battle over Newgate)Love triangle is a possibility, but I feel they, like every other Rocks Pirate, have their own objectives.
I feel Gloriosa wants something done for the Kuja or that the Kuja are meant to do. If anyone there may be targetting the Celestial Dragons, it could be her.
As for Stussy, considering her nature... I'd say she expects to come out of it filthy rich.
-
I knew it. I knew we'd be coming back to God Valley later. I feel vindicated for not getting my hopes up too high. Oda does a great job of building up what a massive convergence of big names it was, even if we only get a prelude here. At least the fanbase seems to be taking this blueballing better than they did the similar fastforwarding in Kaido's flashback last year.
Oda takes the chance to show off what he does best here, introducing a ton of striking one-off character designs for the Holy Knights (very interested in the one with the bull's skull for a headpiece), the nobles participating in the hunt (with Mannmeyer dropped as potentially the tenth of twenty Celestial Dragon family names) and the various pirate and marine crews coming to fight.
The World Government's dystopia is in full swing here, with emphasis placed on not even the children being spared, and the cruel lie of salvation in three week's time. While Ivankov is right about false hope being a useful tool for keeping the spark of life alive in prey, I think he misses its perhaps more pertinent utility of pacifying the fodder to prevent exactly the kind of operation Ivan's group pulls off. People with hope of things working out don't take matters into their own hands. People with other options, even slim ones, wouldn't gamble on a million to one shot of successfully raiding the Most Dangerous Game's prize pool. If you hear there will be some survivors, your point of view as the protagonist of your own life tells you that the story can't end here, that you must end up in that small number for things to go on. I don't think humans are inclined to really see themselves losing a death lottery while other options still exist, even if the odds are against us. A shame we can't all have an Ivan to guide us from the 0% chance the powers that be said was a 3% chance to the 1% chance that is the actual only hope.
Garp's presence in this chapter is something I'm torn on. I can't get a read on if he knows the full details of what the Celestial Dragons are really doing, if he thinks it's just some inspection or pleasure trip for them. If he suspects only that it's not good but maintains a plausible deniability of what to keep himself from acting out. I love Garp as a character, but he's always been a protector and enforcer of this world's most heinous systems despite his sympathetic motivations. And in these days when Roger is his rival, you would think this is Garp at his most wild and rebellious and willing to disobey orders, but he'd still rather face Roger than deal with the slave hunt.
Maybe if he knew what monsters the Five Elders really were he'd actually be interested in measuring his strength against theirs.
At a guess though, I think he doesn't know the full story, and will find out about the slave hunt only after arriving. Remember that Sengoku's recollection of Garp and Roger's teamup at God Valley was to "protect Celestial Dragons and their slaves," which is an interesting choice of words to say the least. Why make a point at all of protecting slaves that were already (literally) branded for death? Perhaps the truth is that both were protected, but the Celestial Dragons were protected from Rocks, and the slaves were protected from the Celestial Dragons. I'm sure he could find a way to play off giving the slaves a chance to run as "just protecting your property from getting cut down by Rocks, go after then when it's over" and pretending he didn't know better. Remember in chapter 957 that right before talking about the teamup at God Valley Sengoku is reflecting on how much Garp's personal moral compass disagrees with the Celestial Dragons and how close he's come to being eliminated for insubordination. I think we're edging closer to the full picture here, and I hope that's not just my enjoyment of Garp's character talking.
The cameos as the battle builds up are amazing to see, really tying in 20 years of continuity to make it all feel connected. From the number of Rocks Pirates that ended up being used for Thriller Bark zombies to Boggard finally showing himself again.
I do wish we got to see a little more of the operation to rob the prize pool, and the how of Kuma's escape. Did he blast other slaves away in different directions before pawing his own group to the one island, or did the rest of the 500 just leave first? I'm willing to buy a teleporting man escaping from the likes of Saturn without having to watch it more than I would most other characters, but at the very least the moment he's forced to give up on the idea of taking anyone else and leaves the island would have been good to see to make Kuma's role in this sequence feel closed off. As it is, the end is pretty abrupt.
That said, the dialogue with Saturn lays out the core themes at play fairly succinctly. A lot of people characterise One Piece is being a story about freedom vs authority, which it is in many ways, but it's also massively (I might even say moreso) about universal personhood vs selective personhood. The heroes of this story, whether they sail free as pirates or rule as kings, are the ones that accept all people as human beings, while the villains, whether monarchs or pirates, are the ones who think there are certain people undeserving of human rights and human status based on arbitrary and uncontrollable things like their place of birth or bloodline. Doflamingo, who was both a cruel noble and the evil kind of pirate, literally stole the human forms of his society's underclass, if you want to get really on the nose about it.
(There's an essay in there somewhere, full of choice villain quotes about 'discrimination creating solace' and hero quotes about 'existing never being a crime' and the series' most poignant death scenes ending with words of thanks from the departed for showing them love in a world that would not otherwise have afforded it to someone of their origin)
Getting back on topic, we get an origin for Kuma's bible-carrying habit. Religion is an interesting topic in the One Piece world. Though the World Nobles are self-styled gods running a technical theocracy in their own name, they aren't really concerned with worship (beyond paying tribute), and there obviously aren't any public churches of Nika. This vaguely Christian-looking faith shows up often enough to feel like a widespread belief, but there's almost nothing we actually know about what they believe, how they worship, and what kind of organisation (if any) the church has.
Ivan ducks out. That might be the last of him for this flashback, but I'm not sure if it's really the last time he's seen Kuma. Presumably their paths must cross as Kuma's ties with the Revolutionaries develop. But will Ginny live for that second encounter? My hopes aren't high. The happiness that grows through the super-cute scenes at the end of the chapter can't possibly be built to last. Once again, Oda is setting this flashback up to hurt. Badly.
If I'm honest, I was worried I wouldn't find much to write about for this chapter. The amount of fanservice at the start had me thinking there'd be little to do except list out the deep cut cameos, something other people online already dead based on the scanlation release that wouldn't interest me to write. But I was happy to find a lot of meat on its bones when I looked a little closer. This is One Piece firing on all cylinders.

I know he’s not a hero. He’s there because the CDs stole something from pirate island. But it also seems according to whitebeard that he’s gonna go wild on the whole operation. Now who’s he gonna go wild on, there are two groups here, the slaves and people that are being hunted and the CDs + marines and who stole from him, yes the CDs so adding all of that, he’s gonna go wild on the CDs and who’s stopping him from going wild, Roger and Garp. I can understand Garp but come on Roger, this isn’t your fight.
Also why Gloriosa saying that they’re gonna finally settled it, against who, the Rogers pirates arrived late:

Both were seen with Dragon during the ASL flashback, thought never in the same frame. Also, Vegapunk said the Revolutionaries were founded by Dragon, Kuma and Ivankov. So yes, they've met again.

I think not even the marines in the blockade are fully aware of what's happening right there under their noses.
Just like anyone bellow Rear Admiral could not even look at Saturn, I bet the marines were confined in their ships, only instructed to sink any vessels leaving the island, while the Celestial Dragons were doing something there. Since this is a non-affiliated nation, the marines may even know or suspect that conquest of that land was underway, but I doubt they knew the specifics of a manhunting game for fun. If the endeavor was fulfilled in "peace", most marines would just leave without knowing the dephts of depravity done there.
When the pirates break the blockade, however, Garling orders the marines to come ashore to protect the Celestial Dragons. I think that's when many of them will realize exactly what was happening there, Garp included.
-
What if one of the other reasons that Garp doesn't like to talk about the God Valley incident was a begrudgng team up of Roger and Garp with Rocks against someone else first or some other purpose.
Say they team up to fight Garland (who somehow says he enjoyed fighting Garp enough or some warrior pride to not let him speak out against Garp), then maybe at the end, Rocks swicthes goes for Garp, Roger saves him and Garp feels shame at having his life saved by a pirate - also wouldn't want to publicise that he fought a CD as it would upend the world? So he doesn't bring it up.
Just think it could be intriguing having there be some twist to Rocks, rather than just simply have him be bad - why would Whitebeard be on a ship with him otherwise

When Dragon takes
BluejamSabo on to his boat you see a huge dude in a rain poncho that can only really be Kuma standing next to Ivankov. -
@Deicide Good catches on both counts. I couldn't remember if there was an exact timeline for the Revolutionaries' founding and Ivan going to prison yet. But will we see much of that part of Kuma's life in this flashback, or will it be saved for when we go deeper into Dragon's life...?
And yeah, it makes sense that the rank and file would be kept mostly in the dark. The WG has a decent bit of propaganda to help its citizens accept criminalising certain bloodlines (see the amount of people who thought Ace's criminal blood marked him for death) but they haven't worked the average person up to this level of casual brutality anywhere we've seen.
-
@Cyan-D-Funk Before that, they clearly show him.
-
Oh, yes, I had just brought the ASL scenes from memory. Actually, Ivankov and Kuma are seen together in one panel in Ch 587. It's when Dragon opens a path in the fire to save people in the Grey Terminal, we see Ivankov and Kuma wearing rain coats.
Later, when Dragon brings Sabo aboard on Ch 589, we do not see any others because the camera pans out to show the ship, but we do get Ivankov's signature way of speech indicating he's there.
What I was thinking about actually happens way later, in Dressrosa, when Sabo recollects those memories (Ch 794). In this one we see the same scene from a closer angle, and Ivankov is clearly shown, plus someone who is obviously Kuma also appears but got hidden behind speech balloons.
Edit: @Cockycent got the scene in the Grey Terminal rescue.

We don't talk enough about how Dragon looks different every time Oda draws him, I realize.
-
So who is elephant guy? He’s not Wang Zhi, since Black Beard took his territory, Hachinosu from him at the Rocky Port incident during the timeskip
-
@Shiebs The guy in the helmet is probably Silver Axe, but I don't personally believe he was that zombie.
-
Why not? They look extremely similar, and we know the Zombie generals were famous pirates of legend and we also know that John from the Rocks Pirates was there as a zombie general too
-
the chapter wasn't so great
man i wish if Garling hunted Ginny instead, i don't like her one bit especially she looks 8 while is 13 that is annoying, making her the reason behind the biggest incident is very irritating, it felt like Oda is writing to a bunch of kindergarten kids, fuck that.
speaking of Oda, he forgot what a 21 yrs Kaido looked like, i was displeased the moment i saw adult Kaido it felt like he came back from the lava and not within an old throwback.
also Shiki looks older than he should, only Linlin was on the right spot.
captain John deserves his own story, a small piece of his treasure made the great alliance of luffy & buggy.
holding on Xebec's official appearance makes no sense, however it's a good sign that the GV flashback will be unraveled again but i don't know when and it could be years which is very frustrating
I would like Kuma's backstory to continue for a few more chapters especially that Dragon was once his leader.

I think it's evident that when Oda reveals Rocks, then he wants to do it in the most epic way possible, as opposed to revealing him as he's jumping off a boat. lol
