Is Sphinx Island the next target of the Celestial Dragons?
The Native Hunting Competition is a triennial contest partaken exclusively by the World Nobles. It involves an island-wide Manhunt where the slaughter of the resident population is translated to points, leading to victory for the top scorer. God Valley was 38 years ago, not 39 years ago. But it could very well have been 38 years and 11 months ago or so.
Venus seems to announce here that soon another hunt will commence.
I believe it will be held on Sphinx.
If you cut the mountain in half it would look like a little like God Valley. The citizens live under the mountain, in a valley. Like those of God “Valley”.
Thinking about Weevil, Marco said Sphinx would get attacked.
It turned out the World Government was the real problem. Sphinx is not affiliated with them, therefore they can kill anyone. Exactly how Celestial Dragons act in their cleansings.
God Valley was rich in resources. Sphinx is poor and there is no Whitebeard‘s treasure. They have one thing though that the nobles could want. They like exotic races and animals. Sphinx is named after rare creatures.
The island is filled with them. The World Government had only one of them in Impel Down.
They could use some more of such guardians. Or aristocrats could use them as pets.
Attacking Sphinx could also be collective punishment for Whitebeard’s attack 2 years ago.
Not that it is the fault of the poor citizens, but Whitebeard being from there should be justification enough for the depraved Celestial Dragons.
