[If this was a stronger genjutsu, Law could be doing as much as he wanted yet not be doing anything at all in actuality - just staring blankly at nothing as his mind filled in the rest. If... if... if... This isn't the time or place for that.
He isn't letting Law win, but he isn't here to destroy him either. Their abilities aren't the same. Unlike usual, he wants to bring the fight to a physical level. A battle of the mind, as he'd had with his brother, isn't possible here.
The loss of his weapons - that's something he should have seen coming. It's a good strategy, but still won't do Law much good if he can't break out of the genjutsu. The pirate has to know this also, so there has to be something else up his sleeve. Itachi knows that he's within Law's Room. He's let himself be. They are both in the realm of the other and both, to an extent, equally blind.
The next attack, a large fireball from out of the trees, is real. The grip on Law's ankles doesn't loosen.]
