Day One - Part 2

[Guu]

Eventually, Guu managed to convince the rubber pirate to give it a rest. He sat around, chowing down on some of the meat he packed up from earlier. Desco milled about as Guu pulled out the map to try to figure out where they’ve wound up.

As she was picking up the general direction on the compass, she could feel the pitter-patter of droplets on her head. Desco was quick to shield herself with Yogsothoth; wrapping herself in it for warmth. Guu shapeshifted into her winter outfit. It was unusual that the clothing would keep her warm at all considering, but it worked. However, poor Luffy, while his arms were protected, his coat did very little to cover his chest. As the rain came down harder and harder, there was little the pirate could do to protect himself from the elements. Eventually, he was visibly shaking in the cold.

“Are you going to be okay?” Guu asked concerned, cocking an eyebrow slightly.

”I-I’m awe-awe-so-some!” He lied.

The pink girl walked up close to him.

“Let me help you.”

She moved in for a hug, and as she did, her body turned flat against him. He felt as the image of her slithered up his legs, across his hips and onto his torso where she transformed into an incredibly snazzy cold-weather jacket that held tightly against his chest. Luffy looks on impressed, checking out his new threads.

”Woah! Bubblegum, this is amazing!” He said excitedly. ”I feel warmer already!”

However, suddenly, his face turned into one of pure anguish. His hand violently claw at his chest, even rubbing against the ground in a futile attempt to widen the surface area.

”ITCHY!” He yelled.

“And it’ll remain itchy if you don’t do as I say” She said, voice coming out of no where. A hand grew out of his chest. “Go that direction, and don’t go too fast. You nearly lost Desco several times earlier.”

Luffy headed the designated direction, and as he did, he felt his itches vanish. Her hand disappears into the fabric, as her head appears on his back

“Is this pace good enough for you Desco? The head asked. The demon child nodded in response. The head disappeared into the fabric. “I’m sorry for this, but you’ve been way too out of control. Had to tone it down a notch. I’ll get off you as soon as we reach our destination.”

However, much to Guu’s surprise, Luffy responded with a laugh.

”You’re so cool, Bubblegum! How can you do all these things amazing things?”

”What... how are… ugh…” The jacket was now red scarlet in color.
