In chapter 1106 of the One Piece manga, the plot takes a deeper turn, exploring everything from the incident on Egghead Island to the island of the mysterious giant Elbaf and the iconic Sun God Nika. Anyone who follows One Piece knows that the giants of Elbaf have extraordinary strength, notably Dorry and Brogy, two names that have great weight in the story.
Dorry and Brogy suddenly appear on Egghead Island in chapter 1106, with a direct reference to the Sun God Nika. It is revealed that the connection between the Giant and Nika is not just talk, but something very serious. If we look back, we will see that this is not the first time history has hinted at this mysterious connection.
The mysterious “winter solstice” in Elbaf

Speaking of Elbaf, this place is a mysterious land that One Piece has not yet completely explored. Although it has been mentioned for many years, such as in the Alabasta and Water Seven sagas, Elbaf remains a mystery waiting to be revealed.
When it comes to Whole Cake Island, things start to get interesting, with a flashback showing Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom) enjoying the Winter Solstice on Elbaf when she was five years old.
Apparently, the Winter Solstice is a major festival that takes place every year in Elbaf, marking a period of celebration that requires fasting for 12 days. It is in this context that the sun, or rather the Sun God receives his glorification.
The people of Elbaf seem to have a very special connection to the sun god, and this sheds light on the giants’ relationship with Nika. The sun god is also mentioned in other corners of the One Piece world, including among the winged races of Skypiea and the Shandians.
Why did Elbaf worship the sun god?

The cult of the Sun God in Elbaf seems to have very deep roots, possibly because Nika was, at some point, an ally or even part of the giant community. Nika is described as someone who spreads joy wherever he goes, a true freedom fighter. This positive and free vibe made many people start worshiping Nika as a god.
The legend of Nika, even after his death, continues to exist, passing from generation to generation. The wait for Nika’s return seems to be a recurring theme, and the arrival of Dorry and Brogy on Egghead Island only reinforces this expectation. Their presence there, talking openly about the Sun God, signals that the story will delve even deeper into the connection between the Giant and Nika.
Now, as the Egghead Island arc approaches its climax, One Piece promises to reveal more about Elbaf, the Sun God, and the ancient prophecies surrounding these legends. From the looks of it, the upcoming reveals promise to shake up the world of One Piece, providing answers to some of fans’ biggest questions.
