The final nightmare begins! I'm wandering in the forest that has vines with thorns hugging the trees. Slowly, they inch their way higher up the trees and close to me. I can hear voices echo, but I can't make out anything they're saying. The fog isn't as thick as it was before, but I carefully navigate my way so I don't trip.
"How did I lose sight of them?" I asked myself. "I was sure I held Nami's hand tightly."
Breathing in the fog felt like I was inhaling anesthetic because I began to feel woozy. Without knowing, I wobbled my way through and carelessly cut my arm. "Ouch! Well, that woke me up!" I said wiping the sleep from my eyes. When my eyes adjusted, I saw a figure standing with its back turned. Beside it was a small lake with no marine life. The area was rather wide which felt strange. As a gamer, this felt like a boss room or some kind of place for an event.
"He-hello?" I said inching my way close to whoever was in front of me. The clouds dissipated to let the moonlight in which revealed the figure to be Nami. I sighed in relief.
"Nami! Thank goodness I found you! Where are the others?" I asked.
She remained silent for a few seconds before answering. "I have no friends, I stab them in the back." I was confused. What is she talking about?! "You have two choices! One; you can leave and survive, or two; fight me and perish!" When she turned around, the fierceness reflected in her eyes made me take two steps back.
"I don't want to fight you!" I exclaimed. "What's gotten into you, Nami?!"
"I don't understand. I don't even know you, why are you insisting that I'll be your friend?"
"It's because WE ARE!"
"In your dreams perhaps, but not in reality. It's a cruel fate humans like you have to face. Understand your purpose! The life that lies before you is filled to the brim with pain that cannot be eased and people who will turn their backs on you!"
I was lost! I knew what she was saying was nonsense, but I somehow believed every word. "Nami? What are you saying?" I asked in a barely audible voice. She slowly walked towards me and lifts my chin up. "I'm saying that living is a waste of time! You make others miserable, you're a murderer, a thief, a liar, a cheater, and a hypocrite." As she spoke, her face began to morph into something demonic. Her eyes were like a snake's, heck her whole face was like one.
I lower my head before I die of a heart attack, then embrace a will to fight this demonic version of Nami. "Get...AWAY!" I yelled punching her aside. She's sent flying through the ground creating a long ditch. The wind picks up because Mother Nature wants to make this look epic. "Now...are you ready to have a BAD time?!" I asked raising my head. My eyes were black and my pupils were white indicating I've entered Genocide form. The things Nami called me make up that side of me; the side no one wants to see.
Nami pieces together her Clima-Tact as I take up my knife. The movements I make are swift and aimed to kill. As for the demon, she defends while looking for a time to strike. Nami hits me in the stomach pushing me back. I walk away to clear the area for my attack; I raise up pointy bones and use skulls to shoot lasers. It manages to get her leg, but it's a mere scratch. She shoot thunder from the sky as I protect myself using my shield. I throw more pointy bones at Nami which turns out to be a mirage.
"Crap! Come out you coward!" I yelled. She strikes me from behind, delivering a series of attacks. I attempt to stab her in any way I can, but I miss and things get brutal. I try everything to hurt Nami whether it be stabbing, slicing, biting, or clawing. This stuns her, to see a normal girl do these things came as a surprise. To stop this barrage of attacks, she zaps me with a thunder ball.
Somehow, this zap brought me out of my Genocide form. Seeing this with my own eyes made me feel sick. "I'm...a monster!" I gasped. With my guard down, Nami attacks me, but I'm guarded by the gem's shield. "Stop. Don't let me live." I said without emotion. The shield lowers allowing my foe to hurt me anyway she wanted. "Just finish me already." Nami refused, she was having too much fun beating out whatever HP I had left. I was losing consciousness fast as my sight began to blur.
"It's over…" I said ready to collapse and I did in one hit. I was still alive, but not for long. Nami began plotting a way to kill me. Before she does, I'm taken to a blank space in my mind.
"Where am I?" I asked
"Why are you giving up?" a voice asked.
"There's no point in fighting! I am all of those things she said."
To be honest, I feel like the long list of sinner labels. I do make others miserable, give humanity a bad name, and burden others with my crap. Why should I live? Why am I typing this? I can't be loved! No one will read this in their lifetime! Hard work never pays off! It doesn't matter what I say or do, it's all silent.
"Are you saying God made a mistake?" the voice asked.
"YES! He allowed sin to creep into the world, and worst of all, he created ME!" I cried.
"It's all part of His great plan! You just don't see the big picture." the voice explained. "I know humans love to pick on God and His word, but ignore them. You're better than this!"
I shake my head in disbelief. There's blood on my hands, sand in my eyes, wax in my ears, and the stigma of sin through my veins. I have seen what I should not have seen and heard what I should not have heard. And worst of all, said and done what I shouldn't. I'm a dirty, rotten human being.
"I don't deserve love." I said lowering my head. "I'm a dirty rag waiting to be thrown away."
"Quit putting yourself down! If you open up now, you can change the outcome of this battle. Your friends are waiting for you on the other side."
A portal opens with a scene of Nami with my body on her lap with the others already awake. "I still can't believe any of it, this is for someone else!" I said attempting to runaway. That's when I'm interrupted with moments I was loved; I am reminded that everyone, including me, deserve love.
"I have friends...who love me?" I said as if I never knew. Tears stream down my face. "Impossible. I can't be loved!" Believing I am a monster, I enter in my iNSaNiTY form which is where I lose my mind and will to all the evil that is within me. Instead of the pupils of my eyes being white, they are blood red. This catches Nami by surprise, thinking she had won but it wasn't so.
On the other side where the real Straw Hats are, my body reacts to my transition into iNSaNiTY. The real Nami jumps at my reaction, but realizes I just jolted a little. No biggie, at least on the outside.
The Nami that's toying with me gets excited to see this side of me. "How interesting!" she said with a wicked smile. I return one as I slit my wrist to get a taste of blood. "Hold still darling, this will only hurt a lot!" I said with a demonic voice. My body floats over to Nami, making swift movements like Sonic in every known direction.
"Ooohhh, this is fun! I am taking pleasure in this." I said with a hint of laughter.
"Hold still, you witch!" Nami said swinging her Clima-Tact around.
She manages to hit me, but it only stops my attack. While on the ground, I stab her foot which sends her into a shock. Not knowing what to do, Nami hammers me with her baton. I pull away to prepare for another attack.
"Doesn't it feel good?" I asked.
"It'd feel better if that was inflicted on you!" she yelled.
"Awww, such a shame you can't find the pleasure that is in pain."
"If you like pain, then I'll give it to ya!"
Nami summons thunder from above, zapping me back to normal. Oddly enough, it seems that thunder helps me return to my normal state. Though returning to my old-self, I am unaware of the battle.
"Huh? What happened?" I asked. In the nick of time, Nami hammers me to the ground. "It's over!" she said taking the knife. My heart and mind race; I am in trouble! If I die here it's all over. In a desperate attempt, I make a silent wish in hopes I'll be okay. What is that wish? Read and find out right now!
Nami finishes the fight by stabbing me in the chest. Thinking she has won, she tosses the knife aside and attempts to stand up. "How does it feel; to be betrayed by someone who you thought was a friend?" she asked looking down at my body. The answer to her question comes from behind her; I stab Nami in the heart from the back.
"It felt like that." I said with a hint of sorrow. I pull the knife out and watch her disappear like a shadow character from the Subspace Emissary. Even if it was a fake, I couldn't help but feel rotten for killing someone. Every part of me felt sick so I run to the pond to spew my guts out. Thankfully the battle is over and I won, or at least that's how it is, not how I feel.
I feel terrible! I feel like I don't deserve to live or have the friends who love me (both in fiction and reality). "I'm a monster!" I cried. Stress takes over my body, making it throw a fit. To ease it, I take the knife and cut my arm. "Ouch! That does hurt!" I said stopping. It appears I don't feel pain when I'm insane, but when I'm sane I can.
"Come! Your friends are waiting!" said a welcoming voice.
Without hesitation, I run towards the light which sends me back to the "real" world. My eyes open to Nami with a concerned look that quickly turns into a smile. She pulls me into her arms and I embrace it.
"Hold on, where's Luffy?" Usopp interrupted.
"Luffy?!" we all collectively gasped.
