Chapter 100 – Fujitora vs Itachi
The moment Itachi spoke—
Amaterasu ignited.
Black flames erupted instantly.
They surged toward both Doflamingo and Fujitora.
"What?!"
Doflamingo reacted immediately.
He had been prepared for this.
The reason he had withdrawn the threads from his awakened ability earlier—
Was precisely to counter this attack.
At the instant the black flames descended—
A massive web of strings rose from the ground.
The flames collided with the threads.
Instead of burning Fujitora and Doflamingo—
The strings themselves caught fire.
Doflamingo grabbed Fujitora and retreated over ten meters in an instant.
The smug grin on his face had vanished.
He had long heard rumors.
When Blackbeard caused chaos in the underground kingdom of Rilcalander, he had nearly been killed by someone traveling with Law.
That person used black flames and a flaming red skeleton.
Now Doflamingo understood.
The rumors were true.
Fujitora Remembers Akainu's Warning
Fujitora was also shocked.
When he had been summoned to Marine Headquarters—
Fleet Admiral Akainu had warned him about one pirate.
Uchiha Itachi.
Akainu's voice had been unusually serious.
"Especially those black flames he uses."
"Their destructive power far exceeds normal fire abilities."
"They even forced Kizaru to use light particle reassembly."
That technique—
Breaking his body into particles and reconstructing it—
Was extremely dangerous for Kizaru's lifespan.
Yet he had been forced to use it.
Akainu had been furious.
"I've fought alongside Polusalino for years."
"I've never seen him pushed that far."
"Even his Devil Fruit ability became useless!"
Akainu continued:
"When that pirate enters the flaming skeleton state, he gains a shield capable of blocking most Devil Fruit attacks."
"He can even summon a burning firebird to travel through the sky."
"It makes me suspect something."
"Perhaps his Devil Fruit is an ancient one."
"The Suzaku Fruit, one of the four mythical beasts of ancient legend."
"A pirate like that appearing in the Straw Hat crew… is extremely troubling."
Now—
Fujitora understood Akainu's concern.
The threads that had blocked Amaterasu were already burning away.
Even the flames touching the ground refused to extinguish.
Fujitora Engages
Fujitora bowed slightly toward Doflamingo.
"Tenyasha."
"Thank you for your assistance."
Doflamingo laughed.
"You're thanking me?"
"Even though you're blind, you can still see clearly."
"There's a pirate worth 80 million standing right there."
"He's part of the Straw Hats."
"That makes him your primary enemy now, right?"
"You're correct," Fujitora replied.
"But as for the former Warlord, Trafalgar Law…"
"My intention is capture, not execution."
Before finishing—
Fujitora suddenly swung his sword.
A powerful slash aimed straight at Itachi.
At the same time—
Doflamingo leapt onto his thread lines and launched himself toward the coast.
"He's your problem now, Fujitora!"
"Doflamingo… you bastard…"
Fujitora muttered.
The Clone
Fujitora pressed forward with his blade.
Itachi stood before him.
But suddenly—
Poof.
The Itachi in front of him turned into smoke.
"…A clone?"
Fujitora realized immediately.
He knew about Itachi's abilities—
But he hadn't expected such convincing deception.
Itachi's Realization
Hidden within the forest—
The real Itachi observed everything.
So that was his plan.
Doflamingo had lured the Admiral here to trap Itachi in battle.
But that wasn't the full strategy.
Sanji had already informed him of Doflamingo's scheme.
Doflamingo wanted the Marines involved.
That way—
Law's escape routes would be completely cut off.
Now that Itachi had appeared—
Doflamingo simply changed priorities.
Avoid fighting Itachi.
Let the Admiral deal with him instead.
Itachi finally understood why Doflamingo had withdrawn his awakened strings earlier.
He never intended to fight seriously.
Attempted Retreat
If that was the case—
Stopping the Admiral was no longer Itachi's objective.
Itachi quietly retreated through the forest.
But suddenly—
Fujitora turned toward him.
"You're fast."
"When did you get there?"
Fujitora had sensed him.
The moment their gazes met—
Itachi formed hand seals.
But before he could finish—
His body slammed to the ground.
For a moment—
It felt like a massive mountain was pressing on him.
Fujitora approached slowly.
"Regardless of Doflamingo's intentions…"
"For the Navy…"
"You are currently the more dangerous target."
Fujitora raised his sword.
He already understood.
This pirate could not be underestimated.
The First Strike
"ROAR!"
A massive purple slash shot forward.
It tore through the forest.
Trees exploded.
The ground shattered.
But Fujitora frowned.
Itachi had already leapt into the air.
"You broke my gravity restraint?"
Just before the slash landed—
Itachi had released a burst of Haki, disrupting the gravitational pressure.
Now—
Blood streamed from his Mangekyō Sharingan.
He had already confirmed something.
Fujitora was not a Logia user.
He was a Paramecia-type ability user.
Itachi focused his gaze.
"Amaterasu."
Instantly—
Black flames ignited on Fujitora's body.
The Admiral was engulfed.
"So this is it…"
Fujitora immediately understood.
The legendary black flame.
The one Akainu had warned about.
His clothes burned away.
The fire reached his skin.
Counterattack
At the same moment—
Itachi formed hand seals again.
"Wood Release: Wooden Blade!"
Three massive wooden spears erupted around Fujitora.
They thrust toward him simultaneously.
But suddenly—
A dark purple aura exploded outward.
"FALL!"
Fujitora roared.
The Amaterasu flames were forcibly pushed off his body by gravity.
They slammed into the ground.
The wooden spears were crushed instantly.
The surrounding earth began collapsing under immense pressure.
Even Itachi was dragged downward.
The gravity field spread across the battlefield.
Before Itachi could react—
Fujitora was already in front of him.
He hadn't teleported.
He had simply used gravity shifts to propel himself forward at extreme speed.
"Just as I thought…"
"You are terrifying."
Fujitora raised his blade high.
"Tiger!"
The attack descended.
Itachi tried to dodge—
But the gravity suppression slowed him.
The strike landed directly.
BOOM!
Trees were blasted apart.
The ground erupted.
Itachi's body was launched hundreds of meters away—
Deep into the forest.
