One Piece chapter 1097 is just around the corner now and fans are incredibly excited for it, given how the last few chapters of the story concluded. Fans have gotten a look at some of the most intense events to have ever taken place in the world of One Piece, such as God Valley.

Quite a big chunk of the last chapter was focused on God Valley and fans absolutely loved it, and that was to be expected, given that they had waited 4 years for these events to be illustrated in the manga. However, God Valley won’t be the focus of One Piece chapter 1097. Instead, it is going to be the events that succeeded God Valley in the Sorbet Kingdom, where Kuma and Ginny currently are.
Kuma And Ginny’s New Life
Towards the end of the last chapter, fans got to see that Kuma managed to eat his Devil Fruit and, with that, gain a power known as the hands of liberation. He used this power to free slaves from God Valley and, it is known that he saved 500 lives on that day. Kuma was just like Nika on that day and that is certainly something that must have been fulfilling for him. Ever since he was a kid, he wanted to be more like Nika and he certainly accomplished that even when he was just a mere kid.
Kuma realizes that he has much more to offer and that is why he is currently in Sorbet Kingdom, where he is trying to build himself up from scratch, along with Ginny helping him all the while. One Piece chapter 1097 is most definitely going to focus on these two characters trying to improve their quality of life. In the previous chapter, it was quite clear to see that they had now started earning their own money. By splitting blocks and selling wood in the town, Kuma made enough money to afford fulfilling meals. This was the first time that Kuma and Ginny ate until their tummy was full and that was certainly very emotional for the fans, given that these two are just kids who have had to see the horrors of life at a very young age. Now, these kids will try their best to improve their quality of life even further. One Piece chapter 1097 will most likely focus on how they try to go about it and what steps they take to rise even further up the ladder.
Kuma Becomes The King Of Sorbet Kingdom
One Piece chapter 1097 might also give fans a bunch of timeskips. This isn’t something surprising and fans shouldn’t really treat it as one either. Fans have already seen timeskips happening in the flashback. For instance, immediately after Kuma was born, there was a timeskip to Marijoa, when Kuma was already much older. Then, fans had another timeskip where Kuma was 9 years old and, this time, he was in God Valley.
Another timeskip hair is almost certain to happen and fans should absolutely expect that to be a part of One Piece chapter 1097. By this time, Kuma should be much bigger and, much more successful in his life in the Sorbet Kingdom as well. Fans have been made known of the fact that Kuma was the King of Sorbet Kingdom at some point. Right now, he is no more than a random kid who sells logs. However, Kuma will eventually rise to the position of King and that is certainly something that fans will love to see. Kuma’s father was King. However, fans should not expect him to rise to this position just because his dad held the throne at one point.

Rather, he is highly likely to rise to this position with his own two hands. He is going to be a figure that people all around the kingdom love and, as such, elected into the position of King. There is also the question of how Kuma came to be known as the Tyrant. Fans again rest assured that a personality such as him can’t even harm a fly, so where these rumors started flying from and how he got this name remains to be seen. Perhaps, One Piece chapter 1097 might give fans insight into that.
Dragon Makes A Move?
One Piece chapter 1097 might also give the fans a look at Dragon. Fans know the Dragon is one of the most important characters in Kuma’s life. Together with Kuma and Ivankov, Dragon created the Revolutionary Army, known as the Freedom Fighters at first. The Freedom Fighters will be seen at some point in this flashback, however, it likely will not be the next chapter. However, the buildup to the creation of the Freedom Fighters could very well be in the next chapter of One Piece. One Piece after 1097 could give fans a glimpse of Dragon and his own aspirations in life. However, fans should not expect a lot from this flashback, given that Dragon’s story will properly be explored at some point in the future of One Piece.
That said, the presence of Dragon and Ivankov could be explored over the next few chapters, starting with One Piece 1097. The time for Kuma to meet Dragon should be arriving very fast now and fans absolutely cannot wait to witness how it happens and how this group ends up becoming as close as they were.
The Fate Of Ginny
The creation of the Freedom Fighters also raises the question of what happened to Ginny. Fans know that Ginny is an exceptionally important character in Kuma’s life. These two characters will end up getting married and, together, they will have a kid named Bonney. Perhaps, fans will see them all grown up in the next chapter and they might already have had a kid at that point, that is, if the timeskip is big enough.
However, regardless of that, fans have not seen Ginny anywhere in the current timeline of the story. This obviously raises quite a lot of questions as to what happened to her or if she’s even alive in the first place. It is possible that Ginny is a part of the Revolutionary Army, however, if such a character was there, then fans would most certainly have seen her by now. It is likely that she died, however, how that happened isn’t known just yet. Oda could shed some light on her character’s future as well and unfortunately, it doesn’t look to be a very bright one.
There are lots of things to look forward to in One Piece chapter 1097 and fans absolutely cannot wait to see where Kuma takes them next. The flashback has been nothing short of amazing for the fans and it could easily be one of the very best in the entire story. Kuma’s rise has been very fun for the fans to witness and, hopefully, it gets even better over the course of the next few chapters.
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 the Manga Plus app. The release date for the next chapter of One Piece, One Piece 1096, is set to be October 29, 2023.
