## One Piece Chapter 912, pages 1-3: Bamboo Hat Village - Chapter: 912 - Pages: 1-3 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Tama, Tenguyama Hitetsu, Portgas D. Ace ### Summary Page 2: Chapter 912, "Bamboo Hat Village," opens inside Hitetsu's home after Tama has been rescued and fed. The old swordsmith connects the name in her heart to Luffy's past and asks, "Is the Ace you're waiting for Portgas D. Ace, Tama?" Tama, still weak from the poison and hunger, coughs and looks up at Luffy with sudden hope: "Big bro? Do you know him?" Luffy answers simply, "Yeah." Then, with no softening and no sense for the wound he is touching, he tells her, "Ace's dead." The room freezes around that sentence. For Luffy, it is a fact from the war; for Tama, it is the collapse of a promise she has been surviving on. Page 3: Tama's face crumples under Luffy's words. She refuses the truth with everything she has left, screaming, "You're a liar, big broooo!" and then, "Nooooo waaaayyy!" The shock is too much for her already weakened body, and she faints on the spot. Luffy stares down at her and says, "She fainted. Crap." Hitetsu is shaken for another reason as well. Luffy's blunt statement confirms that the Ace Tama knew was the same Ace known to the outside world, and the old man realizes aloud, "So Ace came to Wano, too!" The page turns a child's waiting into grief and links Wano directly to Ace's unfinished promise.
