## One Piece Chapter 1096, pages 3-4: Kumachi - Chapter: 1096 - Pages: 3-4 - Characters: Rocks Pirates, God Valley Natives, Celestial Dragons, World Government, Kuma, Emporio Ivankov, Ginny, Slaves ### Summary Page 3: News reaches Hachinosu that the Rocks Pirates have already set sail, and pirates shout that they have to hurry because this will shake the pirate world to its core. On God Valley in the West Blue, the island is surrounded by an impossible number of ships. A witness says they have never seen so many ships gather around a single island. The announcer declares that everyone is trapped in a hellish reality, that nobody will be able to escape, and that one day the incident will be forgotten and lost to history. Ten thousand civilians have been branded "rabbits" for the hunt, and one prisoner curses that the World Government chose God Valley for its resources, turning the island into a murder festival to claim what it owns. Page 4: The prisoners on God Valley confront the truth of the tournament. Someone says not a single one of them will still be alive in three weeks, and another asks how the world can possibly be fair. Ginny says they were told they would be freed if they survived until three weeks, but Ivankov snaps, "Like hell you will!!" He explains that in all the previous hunts there were exactly zero survivors, because the Celestial Dragons do not enjoy killing people who have already given up. They want their prey to hope and run so there will be a chase. The only real plan is to forget winning the rigged game and focus entirely on escaping from it.
