“One Piece,” the acclaimed manga series by Eiichiro Oda, has once again captured the attention of its global fan base with the release of chapter 1096. In this pivotal installment, readers are transported back in time, 38 years to be precise, to witness the enigmatic God Valley incident—a momentous event that has long remained shrouded in mystery.
Eiichiro Oda, the master storyteller, illustrates the powerful and legendary Marines present during this tumultuous period, most notably Vice Admiral Garp and potentially Admiral Sengoku. These two figures stand tall as pillars of strength and resilience, offering a glimpse into the past that has shaped the present narrative of “One Piece.”
The God Valley Incident: A Moment Frozen in Time
The God Valley incident is a dark chapter in the “One Piece” universe, taking place concurrently with the Celestial Dragons’ native hunting games. On this fateful day, an unaffiliated island found itself at the mercy of these celestial beings, as its entire population was hunted down and the island subsequently relinquished to the World Government.
Attracting the nefarious Rocks Pirates, God Valley became a battlefield as the Marines mobilized a formidable force to quell the threat. The promise of powerful Devil Fruits as rewards for winning the hunting games only added fuel to the fire, resulting in a clash of titans that has since become the stuff of legends.
