## One Piece Chapter 441, pages 17-19: Duel on Banaro Island - Chapter: 441 - Pages: 17-19 - Characters: Portgas D. Ace, Marshall D. Teach, Van Augur, Jesus Burgess, Doc Q, Stronger ### Summary Page 17: The fire lances stab into Teach, and he cries out, "GUH...!!!!" One of his men panics, "A FLAME SPEAR!?" while another screams, "SHIT!! GWAAAAAH!! HOT!!" Teach is badly wounded but still frightening, and an onlooker notes, "... HE'S GAINED A VERY TROUBLESOME ABILITY." Ace keeps his breathing steady and presses the advantage, while Teach endures the heat and pain that his own darkness amplifies. Page 18: Ace crosses his flaming spears and attacks with "JUJIKA"!!!! The crossed fire slams into Teach while the note explains that Jujika means "holy cross" and the kanji reads cross fire. The blast shakes the island. Van Augur watches the battlefield and says, "I THOUGHT DF USERS WOULD BE TOO CONCENTRATED ON THE DF ABILITY AND WERE WEAK AND PATHETIC ONCE IT'S TAKEN AWAY. BUT NO... NO WONDER HE'S A COMMANDER ON 'WHITEBEARD'S' SHIP. HIS BASIC FIGHTING POWER IS AMAZING...!!!" He frames the day as fate: "... NOW, TODAY IS YET ANOTHER... OF FATE'S CROSSROADS..." Page 19: The battle's destruction spreads beyond the town. A rock formation collapses as someone cries, "BA-BANANA ROCK... IS FALLING...!!" and another asks, "... WHAT'S GOING ON...!? NO HUMAN COULD DO THIS." The survivors wonder, "WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO THIS ISLAND...?" Van Augur adds, "... NOT JUST THE TOWN..." Ace and Teach are both exhausted and breathing hard, but Teach insists, "NOTHING STANDS A CHANCE IN FRONT OF THE 'DARKNESS'!! LOOK... EVEN YOUR STRENGTH!" He still tries to recruit Ace, saying, "... BUT REALLY, IT'S A PITY TO LOSE YOUR POWER...!! ACE...!! C'MON AND BE MY NAKAMA!!!"
