Let Me Spoil It For You, Fire Fist Gets Magma Fisted

To finish up the weekend, today's gijinka will complete the counterpart trio for the three admirals of One Piece. Not the kind of hot that most people would like:
Pokemon: Slugma
Ability: Flaming Lips
Flaming Lips is an ability that allows the user to turn into lava (If you want to get specific, magma is pretty much the same as lava but used to refer to lava that has yet to exit the Earth's crust. Lava is magma that has already left the crust). At first, this seems like an extremely powerful ability with little weaknesses, but the weaknesses it does have are severely limiting. First of all, the user can't stay in lava form for too long or he/she might cool and harden. Second of all, the lava is still capable of hurting the user if he/she touches the lava with a part of his/her body that has not turned into lava (The point where the body starts transforming into lava is unaffected by the heat). Admittedly, the lava produced by Flaming Lips is a lot less hotter than the lava spewed out by volcanoes since it hasn't been exposed to the Earth's mantle, but it is still molten rock and thus, still dangerously hot. Convection may also result from Flaming Lips. Slugma is nice enough not to use Flaming Lips at the slightest provocation, but she will still use it if provoked enough. That is to say, she's not really all that nice actually...
