Chapter 923
Yonko Kaido VS Luffy
Kaido falls straight to the ground after being punched by Luffy.
In order to determine the state of his friends, Luffy heads towards Oden Castle but discovers a bettered Speed. She tells him that she was discovered by Kaido whilst heading towards Tama's home and was defeated in battle by him, and was unable to protect Tama. Luffy regrets not completely seeing Tama home himself. Law proposes, " I don't know what will transpire while Kaido is drunk. In the meantime, let's escape!".
However, Luffy refuses. "if I beat him now, it will be the end of all this! We don't know whether Kinemon and the others as well as mine and your crewmembers are okay!"
"Kaido! Over here!"
"Hicc, you are...?"
"Luffy, the man who will become Pirate King!"
Kaido releases a Boro Breath but Luffy avoids it by jumping up into the air. Kaido returns to his human form and collapses to the ground while lying spread-eagled. However, Luffy doesn't relax his efforts and transforms into Boundman, releasing a Kong Organ at Kaido. Luffy fervently continues his barrage on Kaido. Around the time Luffy becomes tired and panting after his barrage of attacks, Kaido sobers up and stands up.
"Thunder Divination" Kaido sends Luffy flying with his club. Luffy lies on the ground unconsious with blood running from his head.
"Just what kind of King will you become? Brat..."
END.
