It's first-person narration, and it's completely in character. It's genuinely not a mistake. I don't know why you imply that it is. Not that I'm invested in defending this story, I just started reading it, but a criticism like this needs to be fair to be valuable. Just as important to structural critique is not just an evaluation of its correctness, but it's success at achieving a specific effect. This line seeks to characterize the narrator as he acts diagetically and actually works well to that end, I think.
S'not like I could really complain at how illegal it was on account of the fifty kilos of cocaine slung over my shoulder.

Ngl, I think you did a fantastic job with this chapter with how the push and pull of the fight descended into cerebral, philosophical musings on the nature of deception to emulate Harribel falling deeper into Itachi's illusions. It was really interesting and well written.
A/N: Writing fights around Itachi's illusion is so testing and sometimes I wonder if I manage to convey what is in my head through words with the intended clarity to you guys. Maybe that's why his illusions are so bullshit that even Kishimoto gave up explaining the hows and whys, even the whens.

Well... he does have Mythic Beast Amber, but it isn't that useful cause... you know, you die when you use it.
Itadori shrugged. While he felt tempted to steal Kashimo's technique, the ancient sorcerer was skilled and powerful. Even if victorious, Itadori doubted he would come out unscathed.

CEASE!

Ah... he can't quite make reflexive use of infinity without the six eyes, can he? And this girl's technique, it's Charles Bernard's future sight, just not held back by his shitty "drawing the next manga panel" interpretation. Nice, I love it.
However, as if she could see into the future, the girl was already in motion to dodge before his attack even began, and before he can do anything about it, she sweeps his legs with a low kick and slams him into the ground with a hand on his throat.

Come on, even if you don't intend to the potential, for it creates tension. Don't spoil your own damn story, man.
Still, I tried to keep my face calm. Law hadn't told me anything about Doflamingo yet, and I really didn't want to have that 'past life' conversation with him—not now, and maybe not ever.

Literally "black steel?" I guess it works, but it feels kinda shallow as names go. I hope it doesn't remain that way, though.
So, being the "good" crew member I am, I quickly exited the submarine and unsheathed my new blade, "Kurogane". We were deep underwater, and it would've been tough for the old me to even get my bearings, let alone wield a sword effectively. But I've gotten stronger. And with my crew's influence, I've also become somewhat of an underwater battle specialist.

I wouldn't say out of character, just a little shallow for what it's trying to demonstrate: that Netero deliberately constructs an outwardly childish persona.
He just looks at me with his knowing old man look and he starts humming in a low tune as he says… "Cool… so what are you here for."

Small technical mistake, but while context makes it simple enough to determine Tenten is the one speaking here, her name isn't brought up, so it's not as immediately clear as it should be, disrupting the text's flow. The easy fix is that "She" should be replaced with "Tenten" here.
"Nice job, Neji." She congratulated shortly, having expected nothing less.

Jeez, my bad. Even with the question mark, in the context of commenting on a paragraph I read into your statement as a dig at the textual and editing quality nested with a question to appear less mean (a shitty thing that happens all the fucking time on the internet), which would be a shortsighted thing to do and, considering we are on webnovel, the chances it was that were higher than normal and I made a bad assumption because of that. That's on me. Sorry about that, man.
