A/N: I'm so, so, so, sorry... I accidently put up a chapter to The Past Life of Haruhi Suzumiya by mistake! I'm so, so, so, so sorry here's the real chapter! Once again sorry! I was distracted by that boy being found in alive and safe... you know the one that was thought to be in that UFO looking balloon.

Chapter 101: Me, Myself and I

After many, many attempts to figure out to use the weapon, such a boxing glove and other things failed. She had managed to get away from the spike woman and hide herself so she can read the instructions.

"And so the aforementioned tricks will liven up parties and celebrations." Read Nami.

"I'm going to kill him!" thought Nami.

That's when she read something else.

"Combat instruction on reverse side."

Nami blinked.

"Reverse side?" she thought.

She began to read the other side instructions… hoping they would work.

Elsewhere Sakura watched her attacker, herself choke her.

"Please stop…" Sakura tried to say.

"No way." Said the other Sakura, "After all your pathetic."

Sakura's eyes winded…

"You barely helped with Buggy and Kuro." Said the other Sakura, "You didn't fight Arlong or any of his lackeys! You were too scared!"

Tears streamed down Sakura's cheeks.

"You barely did anything in Drum Island easily since that guy was a loser! You're really pathetic you know that." Said the other Sakura.

Sakura tried to pry away the other Sakura, but couldn't.

"What's going on?" thought Sakura.

Outside of the illusion Tayuya watch as Sakura was literally using her hands to choke to her choke herself.

"The Song of Self Hatred. One of my most deadest songs, it has the target see themselves choking them while saying the things they hate the most about themselves." Thought Tayuya, "That poor bitch doesn't stand a chance."

Back in the illusion… the other Sakura was getting harsher.

"You couldn't even save Sasuke that one time." Said the other Sakura then whispered under her breath, "And Nami, Vivi and Zoro."

Sakura blinked at that one… were those really her priorities in Little Garden… She could have sworn otherwise.

"Not only that but you were so focused on Sasuke that you even forgot that Nami was there… as well as Vivi and Zoro… you were so focused about keeping Sasuke to yourself you forgot all about your other friends." Said the other Sakura.

Sakura began to sweat when the other Sakura told her that.

"Not only that but you were focused on beating Ino that you could have easily broken that wax cake. No… everyone else had to save Sasuke and the others." Said the other Sakura, "You were pathetic."

Sakura shook as the grip became tighter. She knew the worst was ahead.

"The worst thing though is that it's all your fault your parents died!" yelled the other Sakura, "if you hadn't injured your father! He would still be alive today! If he hadn't died… But no, he couldn't work so your family couldn't make any more money. Because of that… because of the injuries your gave your father… your parents are dead and there's no way they can come back. You should die!"

The grip once again tightened around her neck.

"Die!" said the other Sakura.

That's when a strange looking figure punched the Other Sakura letting go of Sakura.

"What happened?" asked Sakura falling to her knees regaining her breath.

Tayuya watched what just happened, Sakura suddenly let go off her neck and fell to her knees.

"What the fuck just happened?" thought Tayuya.

Back inside the illusion, Sakura looked up and saw who was beating up the other Sakura… it was Inner Sakura!

"Don't believe a word she says!" yelled Inner Sakura, punching the other Sakura, "She's just an illusion created by that member of Sound!"

"What?" asked Sakura.

"All of this is illusion!" shouted Inner Sakura, "Because of that I was able to manifest myself!"

"An illusion?" asked Sakura, "That's right! Tayuya's power is that power to create Illusions!"

"You should rest a bit while I beat her!" yelled Inner Sakura as she beat the other Sakura, "And don't think about this illusion told you! Don't let those things get to you! Don't let those things hold you back! You are much stronger than you know!"

That's when Inner Sakura punched the other Sakura so hard that she literally shattered along with the illusionary world.

"What the Fuck just happened! How were you able to come out of that!" yelled Tayuya.

"Never mess with someone with an inner self! It's always going to mess you up!" yelled Sakura.

Sakura then punch the ground once again creating a crater. Tayuya managed to jump away this time and didn't fall in.

"Take out a weapon and fight me!" yelled Sakura glaring at her opponent.

"This flute is my only weapon, sorry to disappoint you." Said Tayuya.

"Then I'll just have to wing it." Said Sakura, "No matter what! I will win!"

"I'd like to see you try." Said Tayuya.

"Okay then… you're going to be sorry." Said Sakura who began to think, "No matter what I have to believe in myself… I am stronger than half the crew. And I can beat her!"

Meanwhile with Nami, she had found that the first battle uses was well… once again pretty useless by creating bubbles of cold air, hot air and electricity… they weren't very powerful… strike that… they didn't have any power at all. But was before she discovered the boomerang function.

After Nami got a spike though the leg. She managed to put two of the pieces into a cross and launched it at Ms. Double Finger who was sent flying into the crates.

"Amazing…" thought Nami realizing how it work, "The Cold Ball and the Heat Ball… when they stop spinning they create a huge gust of wind."

She was just think about how Usopp was a genius when she read the instructions.

"I take that back. Even he didn't know about that." Thought Nami reading about how it could be used a game outside… at a party.

That's when she read something…

"Finally the Tornado Tempo, it packs a knockout punch." She read, "One strike from it, no one would be able to get up again. However it is absolutely a last resort tactic, you only have one shot, if you miss it, it's over."

That's when Ms. Double Finger appeared and stabbed her with her fingers… however Nami faded away.

"Fool you!" she said with a smirk.

"What? How?" asked Ms. Double Finger.

"I used to the cold ball to change the density of the air. Such drastic changes causes light to refract in such unusual ways." Said Nami.

"A mirage…" said Ms. Double Finger in shock, "As such a distance."

Nami smirked.

"I finally understand this weapon. It's perfect for me." Said Nami, "Now surrender."

And so both battle the tide seemed to have turned. But who knows what would really happen with these battles.

Next Time: Sakura and Tayuya face off, will Sakura find her strength and beat the illusion using musician or will Tayuya win for Sound? Meanwhile Nami continues her fight with Ms. Double Finger, will Nami's one shot attack work, or not? Find out next time!
