One Piece’s Chapter 1096 Might Set Up Iconic Character’s Sacrifice in Order to Save the Straw Hat Pirates

One Piece has been continuing strong for a while now, and the story has reached the Egghead Arc. The most recent shocking chapter shed insight into Kuma’s past as well as the horrific truth of God Valley. The novel recently delved into a flashback from 38 years ago, depicting Kuma’s long-suffering existence while he eagerly awaited the promised liberation. While it is widely assumed that the God Valley flashback will continue, fans are confused as to which part of the island’s infamous catastrophe would be the next urgent emphasis.

However, Kuma and Ivankov’s meeting has cleared out certain points and may also have pointed to a sacrifice by Kuma to save the Straw Hat Pirates.

One Piece Chapter 1096 Might Hold Some Important Details

Unfortunately, due to the series taking a vacation in the upcoming issue of Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, One Piece Chapter 1096 will be postponed. The chapter is set to reappear in the 48th issue, which will be released later this month. Given that the last chapter ended with Ivankov and Ginny meeting Kuma, One Piece chapter 1096 will most likely show how the Kuma race ended up joining the Revolutionary Army.

The chapter will also contain a slew of new information about Kuma’s past and his evolution into the persona we know today. Bonney’s fate is also crucial, and fans are eager to learn whether she will be saved from her impending doom. However, looking at the conversation between Kuma and Ivankov may point out Kuma’s sacrifice to save Straw Hats.

Bartholomew Kuma May Sacrifice Himself for Straw Hat Pirates

Chapter 1096 will most likely continue to feature the meeting of future Revolutionary Army founding members Ivankov and Kuma. When Kuma and Ivankov meet for the first time, the former will almost certainly mention his ambition of liberating people, much as the Warrior of Liberation would. Having him express this wish will cement it as the guiding principle for how he wants to spend his life in general. This was most evident in the Sabaody Archipelago and Return to Sabaody arcs, where he saved the straw hats of his own volition. With the information of Kuma’s beginnings at hand, it is evident that this scene was Kuma playing out his longtime desire to become a Warrior of Liberation and help people.

With all of this in mind, fans should anticipate Kuma’s inevitable return to Egghead Island, where he will most likely save Bonney and the others by sacrificing himself.
