Fans are extremely excited about what's going on on Egghead Island, especially as we get closer to the final story. One of them is the details about the reappearance of the Iron Giant.
In chapter 1111, the Iron Giant actually wakes up and begins to move, showing that his time has come.
Origin of the Iron Giant
From the beginning of the Egghead Island arc, the Iron Giant has been present. Luffy first came across him while exploring the island and facing Vegapunk. The doctor said the giants were relics from ancient times, created during the Void Century.
200 years ago, he attacked Marijoa, causing a great stir in the Heavenly Dragon world. But before he could finish his work, he ran out of electricity. The details of his creation and mission remain a mystery, but one thing is certain: The iron giant was an ally of the Ancient Kingdom, home to a highly advanced civilization. This only adds to the curiosity about his origins and goals.
The Iron Giant's connection to Nika
After the big explosion that occurred in chapter 1111, the iron giant's apology after waking up and calling Joy Boy surprised readers, but also hinted at a connection between him, Nika, and Joy Boy. So what is the essence of this relationship?
We know that the Ancient Kingdom was advanced enough to create a sentient iron giant. If Vegapunk created Seraphim, imagine what people from the Ancient Kingdom could do?
When Luffy activated Gear 5, it seemed he ordered the giant back into action. This shows the deep connection between him, Joy Boy, and the power of Gear 5. The iron giant may have been Joy Boy's partner, fighting alongside him and taking on important missions , such as attacking Marijoa.
The mystery of the Iron Giant's activities
What we do know is that the Iron Giant is completely focused on the Liberation Drum, using that energy as fuel. And even without a soul, he can still move, which is a miracle. This reminds us of Kuma, who lost his free will but can still act as he wishes thanks to the special powers of the Buccaneers race.
If this power allows humans to impart will to inanimate objects, then it makes sense for the iron giant to move when it hears the Drum of Liberation. Perhaps a Buccaneer clansman from the past passed down his will to the iron giant, keeping him “alive” in some way.
The Iron Giant's story is filled with gaps that fans are desperate to fill. The possibility that he has a connection to Nika, perhaps as a close friend or even a family member, adds a huge layer of mystery. The fact that he apologized to Joy Boy as soon as he woke up only added to the curiosity.
