## One Piece Chapter 923, pages 4-5: Emperor Kaido vs. Luffy - Chapter: 923 - Pages: 4-5 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Speed, Tama, Kaidou, Bakura Town residents ### Summary Page 4: Luffy finds Speed collapsed nearby and rushes to her. People around her say, "She just came from the direction Kaidou flew in from, and collapsed!!" and wonder whether Master Speed left the town earlier. Luffy calls, "Master Speeeeed!!" then recognizes her as the servant he nicknamed: "Umami!!!!!" He demands, "Hey!! Aren't you the Umami!? Hey!! Why are you here!? Where's Tama!?" Speed is badly injured and can barely answer. Luffy asks, "You got her home safely, right?!!" Speed says that on the way, Master Kaidou saw them. She tried to fight him off but failed. Her apology is broken by pain: "I wasn't able to... protect my master." The page turns Luffy's fear into something worse: Tama was with Speed when Kaidou attacked. Page 5: Speed tells Luffy what happened before she collapsed. Kaidou asked, "Where are you going...?" and Speed could only answer weakly. A strange report reached Kaidou, and Luffy remembers Tama's promise from earlier: "Big bro, I will never forget... the taste... of the red bean porridge and apple I ate today!!" The memory of Tama smiling with an apple becomes unbearable. Speed says the attack "went with her!!!" and Luffy understands that Tama has been caught in Kaidou's violence. He clenches his fist and fumes, "Dammit...!!" The page narrows all the previous political stakes into one personal wound: Luffy rescued Tama, gave her hope, and now believes Kaidou may have taken her away or worse.
