It feels so fitting for Luffy to be positioned in the sky like this, just after the tides of the battle changed for them, and as Vegapunk shows he defied the government years ago.
Even Vegapunk, as deep as he was in the government, took his own freedom, and the results of that are shown soon after Luffy assumes his Nika form, the embodiment of freedom.
...Fuck.
I think it's fair to say that Vegapunk isn't going to recover from this.
I really do like that the thing that leads to Saturn killing him is one of the largest acts of humanity you could say Vegapunk performs.
He went directly against the government, even defying the highest of authorities, all because he couldn't bear the thought of Bonney being hurt by her father, or even something that looked like him.
Elbaf?????
Nika Luffy is there
Nice call Vegapunk
I know it's day time here, though Luffy not being backed by the moon while jumping like this feels strange. The reveal with the full moon is so iconic.

Video version: Rather than focus on the broader aspects of the chapter, today I’d like to focus on the core focal question of “who is Nika?”
Artur is cooking this week! Read it for all your Nika, Joyboy, and sun god needs and connections. (It says video version, but it will take you through to the text).
Saw this pointed out on Japanese Twitter, how chapter 1106, with its title and contents, answered a question asked by chapter 633's cover
(Note that a more literal translation of the chapter titles are "An enemy or an ally" and "Your ally" ("Teki ka mikata ka", "Kimi no mikata"), where the reference would be slightly more obvious (The official translations flow way better tho so it's fine))
Like last time we saw Dorry and Broggy, it was when they nuked Kid and his crew in chapter 1079, so there may have been this mild concern whether or not the Strawhats would have a pleasant reunion with Dorry and Broggy when they'd get to Elbaf. Like. Would they be friends or foes to Luffy and co? But indeed, Dorry and Broggy's return in this week's chapter did confirm that they are on the Strawhats' side, their allies. A question asked 443 chapters ago, finally answered. That's so cool
BUT BECAUSE I HAVE THE BRAINROT, I NEED TO ASK
Chapter 1106 title may have been in reference to Dorry and Broggy, but also. The fucking cover is Robin giving a crocodile a cute outfit. With a thumbs up.
Can. Can the title have a double meaning. Or triple, since it's also about how Vegapunk made sure Kuma would always be on Bonney's side. Could it also be hinting that Crocodile is going to be the Strawhats' side if shit goes down. I'm just saying. This was one hell of a time for Oda to put Robin with a crocodile on the cover, with a chapter title like that. Like I can't tell if I'm losing my marbles or if Oda really could be playing 4D chess here
Another quick thought about 1106.
Elbaf is further along the Grand Line than Egghead is, and Log poses don't point backwards. Either Dorry and Brogy met with Hajrudin and have Luffy's vivre card, or there is some unknown factor.
