One Piece leakers are hyping up Chapter 1096, which could be as shocking as the Gear 5 debut. Here’s what you need to know about it.

After the shocking Chapter 1095, One Piece fans are already looking forward to Chapter 1096. The recent chapter drops several bombs with Kuma’s past and God Valley flashback. Not to mention the appearance of young Saint Figarland Garling, which all but confirms his connection to Red Hair Shanks.

We also see slaves Ivankov and Ginny, who appear before Kuma all those years ago. With so many questions left unanswered, the manga goes on a brief hiatus. However, as One Piece will return this week, leakers are already hinting at a shocking chapter that might break the internet yet again.

The Final Saga will soon conclude its Egghead Island arc. It has already revealed so many mysteries, and there’s still more to come. Although it will take a while before hints and spoilers will be revealed, fans can expect another groundbreaking chapter, which could be just as amazing as the Gear 5 debut.

One Piece Chapter 1096 is sure to reveal something shocking

One Piece leaker Redon has already started dropping reactions on Twitter/X. One reaction that completely took us by surprise is the “hype overload” GIF, which is the same one he used before Chapter 1044 was officially released. It’s the chapter where Luffy made his Gear 5 debut, and Gorosei reveal the truth behind the Gomu Gomu no Mi.

Another surprising Tweet fans came across is the one where TCB scans share a notice requesting everyone to avoid spoilers for this week. The notice states, “Important Advance Notice: We recommend all One Piece readers to stay away from social media. At the very least, block appropriate buzzwords for spoiler prevention on the timeline this week. 

“(But honestly, just go offline.) We advise even spoiler readers to skip spoilers this week. If you do read them once they are out, please keep discussions within the appropriate channels and don’t spread the spoilers on social media, please.

“Don’t make the days harder for spoiler-free readers who want to read the chapter blind on Friday or Sunday. Click on the bell on our profile in order to get notified whenever we release the Chapter.” Spoilers are common in the One Piece community, so it’s rare for a notice like this to circulate on Twitter/X.  

One Piece is currently featuring the God Valley flashback, so it’s likely that Chapter 1096 will reveal something about it. As for what makes the chapter “shocking,” we will have to wait a few days to find out.

How to watch Crunchyroll from outside your location in 2023

Crunchyroll is the world’s best hub for streaming anime, whether it’s One PieceAttack on Titan, or Jujutsu Kaisen – and thanks to ExpressVPN, you can access the platform’s full library even if you’re outside the US.

If you’re abroad, here’s what you need to do to access Crunchyroll’s full selection – and it really is this simple:

  1. Sign up for ExpressVPN, which has ultra-fast servers and offers a secure, private connection wherever you are in the world
  2.  Connect to a location anywhere in the US; Express VPN allows you to choose from 24 different spots, from New Jersey to Santa Monica
  3.  Visit Crunchyroll online and start streaming all of your favorite animes – and perhaps some you’ve never watched

Accessing Crunchyroll’s US roster makes a difference; for example, Hong Kong users only have access to less than 100 titles, while the US has nearly 1,000 movies and TV shows.

You can also stream anime on Crunchyroll for free with an ad-supported plan, or you can pay for a subscription – there’s even a 14-day free trial if you can’t quite make up your mind.
