## One Piece Chapter 923, pages 2-3: Emperor Kaido vs. Luffy - Chapter: 923 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Kaidou, Urashima, Holdem, Bakura Town residents, Shutenmaru, Atamayama thieves ### Summary Page 2: Luffy's Elephant Gun lands hard enough to knock Kaidou's enormous dragon body out of the sky. The impact sends the dragon crashing down into Bakura Town, and people scream as the shock tears through the streets. Someone cries, "The impact of the strike is...!?" while others yell, "Leave the town noooooow!!!" and "That was close!!!" The townspeople recognize the impossible sight: "Master Kaidou is falling this way!!!" Another person points out that both the Yokozuna Urashima and Master Holdem were sent flying by the same man, asking what just happened. The chapter opens with Luffy not waiting for strategy or permission; he has already struck the Emperor and forced everyone in town to react to the falling body of Kaidou. Page 3: Luffy lands, breathing hard after the first strike. Around him, people gasp, "He laid a hand on Master Kaidou!!" and flee in terror, while the dust from Kaidou's crash spreads across town. Luffy does not care about the crowd's shock. He looks toward the ruins and thinks only of his friends: "Please tell me they avoided it..." He calls out, "Everyone...!!" Behind him, Shutenmaru remains wary and orders his people, "You guys, head back to the mountain first!!!" He has a bad feeling about what is happening. The scene balances the scale of the attack with Luffy's panic: he hit Kaidou because the dragon blasted the ruins, but he still has no proof that his crew and allies survived.
