Native Hunting Competition

The Native Hunting Competition is a triennial event exclusively participated in by the World Nobles. It revolves around an island-wide "Manhunt," where points are awarded for hunting down the island's residents, with the highest scorer emerging as the victor.

To date, this competition has been documented only once, during the God Valley event that took place 38 years ago in the West Blue.

This tournament is held every three years on islands unaffiliated with the World Government. Once a location is chosen for the contest, the government forcibly takes control of the island, irrespective of the consent of its rightful rulers. The indigenous population is then rounded up and kept captive in cages until they are released to be hunted for sport during the competition. Problematic slaves may also be included as additional targets.

A point system is used to determine the winner, but the exact method of scoring remains unknown. Notably, Figarland Garling incurred a hefty penalty of -10,000 points for a false start, as he mistakenly killed the king of God Valley before the official start.

At some point in history, this disturbing practice of purging islands of their native inhabitants gained popularity among the World Nobles. The establishment date of this competition and whether it continues to exist in the present remain uncertain.

God Valley was selected as the location for the tournament 38 years ago, mainly due to its controversial name, which was deemed sacrilegious for containing the word "God." Additionally, the island was rich in natural resources. During this event, the king of the island was murdered by Saint Garling for objecting to the competition, while most of the island's population was confined in cages to serve as targets.

Kuma was among the slaves designated for use as "game" during this event. He briefly managed to escape but was later found by his fellow slaves, who coerced him back to the competition through physical force. It was during this period that Kuma encountered Emporio Ivankov and Ginny, who were also enslaved.

If you're eager to learn the rest of the flashback, please consider reviewing my prediction for the upcoming events. It's quite detailed, consisting of 44 points, and I believe it will provide you with an engaging narrative.

• The Celestial Dragons execute all the residents of God Valley, with Garling claiming the most kills and becoming the Champion/King of God Valley. They attempt to hunt down the surviving slaves, thanks to assistance from Ivankov and Ginny.

• The Rocks Pirates arrive on God Valley, led by Xebec, who declares his ambition to become the 'King of the World' by eliminating the self-proclaimed rulers of the world, the Celestial Dragons.

• Garp and other marines, who had been monitoring the Rocks Pirates, arrive to protect the God Valley residents from the pirates.

• Garp finds that the God Valley residents are already dead, but to his shock, it was the Celestial Dragons who killed them.

• Garp initially considers leaving God Valley to the Celestial Dragons and dealing with the Rocks Pirates on their own. However, he discovers Kuma's group and realizes that both Celestial Dragons and their slaves are still on the island.

• Garp decides to take on the Rocks Pirates to protect the slaves. The marines are quickly overwhelmed by the pirates' superior strength, leaving Garp as the last marine standing.

• When Garp is on the brink of defeat, the Roger Pirates arrive, and Garp reluctantly joins forces with Roger to defeat Xebec.

• With Xebec dead, some of the stronger Rocks Pirates celebrate and declare their intention to form their own pirate crews to pursue the title of 'King of the World.'

• Weakened Garp tries to stop them, but the powerful Rocks Pirates easily escape by commandeering ships from the Celestial Dragons.

• The weaker Rocks Pirates retreat to their ship, but Garling boards it and slaughters them all.

• On her way off the island, Big Mom discovers treasure chests intended as prizes for the winner of the Native Hunting Competition. She takes one chest but flees when she spots the Roger Pirates approaching.

• Inside the treasure chest, Big Mom finds a Devil Fruit. She offers it to Kaido in exchange for joining her crew. Kaido accepts the offer but escapes when she's not looking, angering Big Mom.

• The Roger Pirates notice several marine ships approaching God Valley as reinforcements. They quickly loot the treasure, then return to their ship and depart from the island.

• As the Roger Pirates open the treasure chests, they discover a baby boy. Unbeknownst to them, this child is Garling's son, offered as a prize in the Native Hunting Competition to demonstrate his confidence in winning.

• Garp informs the arriving marines that the Rocks Pirates have already been defeated. They leave to pursue the Roger Pirates, while Garp remains to check on the slaves.

• With the pirates and marines gone, the Celestial Dragons resume their hunt and swiftly eliminate the remaining slaves.

• Enraged by their actions, Garp unleashes his most potent punch, obliterating the entire island and erasing God Valley from maps.

• Garp rescues the three surviving slaves, Kuma, Ivankov, and Ginny, and takes them to his ship. He leaves the Celestial Dragons to drown.

• The Celestial Dragons, unaware of why the island was destroyed, are saved by Garling, who uses Xebec's ship. As a reward, Garling is promoted to the position of Supreme Commander of the God's Knights.

• Garp is deeply disturbed by the events on God Valley. When Sengoku inquires about what happened there, Garp provides only partial details and omits various elements, including his role in destroying the island.

• Despite Garp attributing Xebec's defeat to Roger, the World Government credits Garp instead, leading to his nickname as 'Hero.'

• Garp considers what to do with the children. A marine suggests taking them to Mary Geoise as property of the Celestial Dragons, which angers Garp, causing the marine to flee.

• Garp opts to hide the children in his hometown, under the care of his son, Dragon.

• The children inform Dragon about their lives and the events at God Valley, sparking Dragon's intense hatred for the Celestial Dragons and the World Government.

• Inspired by Kuma's desire to be a hero who could free people from suffering, Dragon forms the Freedom Fighters, aiming to grant people's freedom through nonviolent means.

• Dragon befriends Vegapunk and invites him to join the Freedom Fighters, but Vegapunk declines due to their lack of resources to fund his inventions. Instead, Vegapunk later joins the World Government.

• While traveling, the Freedom Fighters come across some Devil Fruits. Kuma reveals how the Celestial Dragons would force their slaves to consume Devil Fruits for their amusement. Dragon decides not to use the Devil Fruits but intends to sell them to support their operations.

• After the Ohara Incident, Dragon realizes that nonviolent methods aren't enough and decides to wage war against the World Government. He forms the Revolutionary Army with Kuma and Ivankov.

• Dragon and the others consume the Devil Fruits they found and resolve to become 'devils' who will liberate people by overthrowing their oppressors, as they lack combat experience.

• Rather than fighting oppressors alone, Dragon's Revolutionary Army only assists nations where the citizens are willing to fight alongside them.

• The nations aided by the Revolutionary Army are extremely grateful, providing them with financial and material support. Many of their citizens eagerly join the cause to help liberate other countries.

• News of the Revolutionary Army's actions reaches the World Government, resulting in the group's members receiving significant bounties and Dragon being named the World's Worst Criminal.

• Kuma successfully liberates the Sorbet Kingdom, but its king is killed, and the citizens choose Kuma as the new ruler.

• Kuma makes Sorbet Kingdom his home and has a daughter with Ginny.

• The World Government learns of Kuma's presence in Sorbet Kingdom and dispatches CP0 agents.

• CP0 informs Kuma that, as former slaves, he and Ginny are the property of the Celestial Dragons. They propose taking Kuma's daughter as a substitute, which leads to a confrontation where Ginny is killed.

• CP0 offers to spare Kuma's daughter if he agrees to comply with their demands. Reluctantly, Kuma goes with them and consents to participate in their 'human weapon' experiments.

• To prevent the world from knowing the truth of their actions towards the ruler of a World Government Kingdom, the World Government fabricates a story, reporting that Kuma was a tyrant in Sorbet Kingdom who willingly left to become a pirate. They also appoint him as a Warlord to support this narrative.

• Kuma, aware that the experiments will erase his sense of self, uses his Devil Fruit powers to extract and entrust his memories to Vegapunk, a friend of Dragon, for safekeeping.

• Kuma brings Bonney to Egghead and has Vegapunk implant a monitoring device and GPS system, allowing him to track her location and receive alerts in case of danger.

• Kuma adds an overriding command in his brain: to protect Bonney.

• The flashback concludes with Kuma arriving at Egghead and rescuing Bonney from Saturn and the marines.
