Akainu did not continue attacking the crumbling Emerald Susanoo.
Because he sensed that something was wrong.
He actually felt an entirely different kind of burning sensation in his right forearm.
How long had it been? Ever since eating the Magma-Magma Fruit, he had forgotten how long it had been since he last felt the temperature of flames.
After all, compared to magma, the burning of flames was child's play.
But now, his body was feeling flames once more!
Gurgle...
Magma boiled and flowed down.
Akainu tried to use the magma on his right arm to cover the Black Flame, only to discover that the Black Flame could even ignite his magma!
When the dark-red magma touched the Black Flame, not only could it not extinguish it, it instead acted like fuel, causing the Black Flame to burn even fiercer!
Dispelling his Devil Fruit power, Akainu concentrated all his Haki in his right hand.
But Haki was equally ineffective. It could only slightly slow the Black Flame's spread, not stop it!
Even more terrifyingly, the Black Flame seemed alive. It kept devouring his forearm and growing stronger!
"Damn it, what kind of fire is this?!" Akainu's expression finally changed drastically.
He had underestimated the strangeness and terror of this Black Flame!
This was not fire in the conventional sense at all!
In that brief delay, Itachi's Totsuka Blade from the Orange-Red Susanoo had already struck!
Akainu hastily raised his magma arm covered in Armament Haki to block!
Boom!
The impact of the Totsuka Blade knocked Akainu back several steps.
By then, the Amaterasu Black Flame on his right forearm had spread across his entire forearm and was burning toward his elbow!
Armament Haki offered no resistance whatsoever.
Wherever it passed, the magma arm seemed to vanish into thin air, leaving behind
