Man do I like the new Punk Hazzard arc... Looking forward to how the crew members have improved their tactics !
Humanity returning to me, I noticed my actions and hurriedly spit him out back on the chair. "Oops, sorry about that, my body took over by a weird... instinct."
He cringed away in tears, "I'm not food!"
"Uhh, sorry, it's just that you smelt delicious and suddenly..." I breathed in his scent, feeling the sweetness of cotton candy and cleanliness of medical supplies.. I stopped mentally before the urge to do something ridiculous again resurfaced. Wait, a weird creature is talking to me and I'm actually having a conversation with it! Oh well, I became another creature anyway... Guess it's not surprising that animals don't need schools learn communication with each other huh.
"Never mind, you can call me Artemis, Chopper." I licked the side of his face in apology automatically. Oops. Realizing my mistake again, I shut my mouth tightly and placed my head on my paws, looking at him apologetically.
"Heheheh don't worry about it. You idiot, even if you lick me I won't be pleased by it!" Chopper blushed and placed its front hooves together and stood on its hind legs, twisting his body left and right.
"Hahahaha! You're funny. What type of creature are you? A mysterious dwarf reindeer with a blue nose?" I barked in laughter at his amusing way of displaying his emotions.
"How rude! I'm a reindeer, I ate a the Human Human devil fruit and could transform into other physical shapes, this is Brain Point, which I find most comfortable to be in casually."
"A devil fruit? What other shapes can you transform into anyway?" Mentally putting a devil fruit as a type of shape-shifting medical drug.
"Well, I have my current one, Brain Point, then Walk Point." He jumped onto the floor and transformed, going on all fours. "Huh, your pants and hat also extends with your transformation shapes... What an interesting ability to have."
"Lastly... HEAVY POINT!" He roared and his large face right in front of mine. I jerked backwards automatically in surprise. "Hey!" He turned into a large muscled.. Gorrila-like human with a short furry mane, forming a circle around his shoulders and covering his neck. Surprisingly, his hat also enlarged with his size somehow, his antlers shrunk, replaced by human ears.
I head butted him in mock anger. "Sorry, I always wanted to try that on someone." He grinned sheepishly. His eyes narrowed suspiciously as he remembered something, "Wait, How come you don't know about devil fruits when you're in the Grand Line?"
"Grand Line? Well, I don't know how I got here in the first place, or how I even became this in the first place," I looked down at myself "I was just happily eating a strange fruit I got from a stranger and... " The two things clicked together in my mind "AHH! THAT STUPID MAN GAVE ME A DEVIL FRUIT?". What the heck. Just my luck to get some weird drug as my last meal before I died. I snapped my jaws together angrily.
Or am I still dreaming? If so, someone please wake me up from this weird dream! Wait, maybe it isn't that bad after all, from the looks of things, it can't get worse than that life I had previously. I also got a talking, shape-shifting reindeer as a companion! I smiled wryly, an excited gleam shone from my eager eyes for adventure.

Chopper looked at the large wolf lying on the bed, shouting, snapping her jaws together, pondering then letting an evil gleam entering her eyes, "You were saying something about dying in the first place...?" He started cautiously, fearing to earn her wrath, intimated from the quick change of emotions and that hint of intentions he saw.
"Well, I still don't know if I'm still dreaming or anything, but I wasn't originally.. Whatever I am now." Artemis sighed, letting out a lungful of breath.
"What do you mean what are you?" Chopper stared at Artemis in astonishment. "If you mean physical descriptions, you're a kind of large wolf I haven't seen before. I was hoping you would tell me more about your kind as I have never known of your species..." Muttering some speculations about the possible types of wolves depending on the climate of the island they found her from. "Did you lose your memory or something?" A dozen or more diagnosis regarding Artemis ran through his head as he examined their conversations and continued to speak to himself.
"Wait, you're trying to ask and answer too many questions at a time! Let me eat something first! I'm famished. As I was saying, I was originally just a teenage girl, the last thing I remembered was being fed a strange swirly fruit by some stupid man then choking on it and dying... I think?" The questions he asked and mentioned under his breath had sprouted and multiplied, flooding her mind. Argh, I can feel a headache coming from the torrent of queries questioning the reality all around and about me. Forget it for now, food takes precedence above all else! She started to get up from the bed.
The door swung open. "Hey Chopper! I brought some food over! Is she awake yet?" A masculine voice overlapped with her last sentence as she was speaking and came into the room just as it finished.
Sanji froze, she was originally a teenage girl, a woman, a female human of teenage years! His imagination ran wild as he tried to picture the figure in front of him in the body of a teenage girl... Ooh, what a amazing body she would have! A large, well endowed body with silky ebony hair and silver highlights... Ah, those intense eyes. She must be a striking beauty.. A fountain of blood erupted from the falling figure of Sanji. The tray of food was dropped without a care, as his body headed towards the floor.
"AHH!" cried Chopper as he dived for the tray of food, hooves outstretched. He gave a sigh of relief as most of the objects on it miraculously remained on it. His attention returned to Sanji as some cutlery he missed fell to the floor. Leaving the tray of food on the floor. "Hey Sanji? What on earth happened to you to cause nose bleeding again?" Chopper hurried over to stop his bleeding.

My eyes narrowed as I looked the intruder up and down, trying to decide if he is a threat, tensed to react if he tried to attack. The next moment, a wealth of blood suddenly sprouted from his nose as his body comically flew backwards from the force of the nosebleed.
It was so unexpected that I yelped, flinging my body backwards, against the wooden wall behind me, probably bruising my back. What kind of weird nosebleed was that? People usually do NOT get thrown back from the force of nosebleeds, only those in those in comics and cartoons do that. Normal ones are docile and just leak from the source. Man this guy's body has a big issue against him.
I tried to get down the bed slowly, trying to get used to moving around on all fours. The bed felt softer than it looked, my paws sinking into the mattress, or maybe it was because of my new weight?
My hands, paws? I sighed. For convenience and sanity's sake I shall stick to referring to my limbs as hands and legs, reached the floor and I carefully tested my hold and overall balance. Woah, having pads on your hands feels kinda cool, I could actually feel the wood grains and a soft warmness from the floor.
"Is he okay?" I asked Chopper, nudging the twitching body on the floor with my nose. "Wo- woman..." Murmured the body in front of me. I decided that he probably has gynophobia, just thinking about women caused him a serious nosebleed? Poor guy.
[AN: Here's some trivia knowledge; Gynophobia – fear of women and Caligynephobia – fear of beautiful women]
