Wealth, Fame, and Power! W. D. Gaster, The King of The Pirates, had all those and the rest of what the world had to offer! Through many battles and trials, he had reached the pinnacle of the world's virtues and had nothing left but an illness that plagued him.

He brought himself in and was held at a worldwide public execution. Before he was executed, a man from the crowd asked:

"Where did you hide all your treasure?!"

To which the King of Pirates smiled and said:

"You want my treasure? You can have it! I left the most important treasure in the world on an island! Go and find it! 'For the next pirate that finds the UnderPiece, will be claimed the new King of The Pirates!"

Those were his final words before he was executed. He smiled to his death.

With those words, the world was flipped upside down as he created The Golden Pirate Era! People and already existing pirates from around the works started to sail the seas in search of the treasure that W. D. Gaster claimed to be-

The UnderPiece!

It had been Twenty Years since, and people have yet to find the treasure he was talking about. Except for one girl, who is now going to change the world by storm for the sake of her people.

This is the story of Muffet D. Baker and her way to becoming Queen of the Pirates!

Undyne was working out on the port next to the peaches. She always started with calisthenics and then moved on to her weights. She usually did her routine of 200 burnouts, 350 push-ups, 45-minute planks, an hour of wall-sits, 200 squats, 300 dips, 300 pull-ups, and then finally she'd spar with Muffet immediately afterward. After the spar, she'd go to the weights.

She would go start her workout before dawn so that she'd finish her calisthenics when everyone was fully awake. The ship didn't have weights, so she'd lift boulders that Muffet can fish out from under the sea with her web. She'd lift then and do her usual reps with seawater on her.

Since she was a Devil Fruit user, seawater made her 90% weaker. This helped increase her progression in her strength. In terms of dedication and technique, Undyne was the woman to go, the go-getter of the crew. She knew that.

She saw Ralsei peek her head out from the latch.

"Goodmorning Ralsei! Wanna do workouts with me? I can get you jacked in no time." Undyne said with a smile on her face when she was on her 278th pull-up.

"Imma pass," Ralsei said getting sweaty just by looking at her workout.

"Come on...you've said that for five days now!" Said Undyne really trying to push her luck with Ralsei.

"Uh...I dont know..." Ralsei said shyly. She always got shy around Undyne, she was always either too overbearing or too intense for her. She barely got any around Muffet, but there had been a time when she has said some borderline questionable things. Like when she asked her what goat tasted like while licking her fangs and staring at her intently with all five of her eyes.

"Please doc," Undyne said already had finished the last 22 pull-ups while in conversation.

Ralsei sighed.

"Fine. What's the Undyne usual?" Ralsei said bearing herself for pain.

Undyne's eyes gleamed with hope.

.

"COME ON, JUST ONE MORE SQUAT!" Undyne exclaimed as Ralsei seemed at the breaking point.

"I-I-I c-cant!" Ralsei said straining her body before finally following through with the squat. She collapsed on the floor immediately afterward.

Undyne smacked her gums with her lips.

"Seems you've only done two minutes of working out and it has you like this?" Undyne said regretting her choices.

"...I can feel the burn..." Ralsei said sore on the ground.

"That's probably the blood pressure!" Said Undyne laughing.

"You can't just be going around breaking our doctor, huehuehue~," Muffet said done with her workout seeming sweaty and worn. No one knew what her workout was. They just knew she did it alone in her room and requested no one come in. Whatever it was, they can tell it was doing its job of working her out.

Muffet, whenever she was training or working out, always tied her poofy hair into a horribly made bun. She always trained shirtless. The crew members had gotten used to her petite showcase by then. When she was done she covered up.

Undyne didn't mind one bit, now was that time where that happened. All she did was stare.

"How did your training go captain?" Ralsei said genuinely curious.

"I got to get a lot more done with myself than before, I guess it's because I'm slowly getting better at using my soul now ever since you came along," Muffet said in an earnest and soft voice.

"R-really?" Said Ralsei unsure of herself.

"If course dearie~ Oi, Undyne, wanna spar?" Muffet said puffing her chest and extended her waist forward using her six arms.

Undyne liked the chest puff part.

"Uh, yeah, I'll be there in a bit!" Undyne said sheepishly.

Muffet nodded a web swung to the head of the ship. That had been her favorite place to be, on the owl on the head of the ship.

Undyne gulped.

"You have it for her big huh?" Ralsei said with a monotone voice.

"I want no lip from you Miss Two Squats," Undyne said teasing her.

.

The spar went as most of the spars went. With Muffet winning because of her versatility and her overwhelming amount of stamina and persistence.

That's the reason Undyne admired her, atleast when it came to fighting, it was because Muffet had a really thin build, she had cut-up muscles but they were so tied to her bone that it made her look skinny. In reality, her base strength was incredible, she was meaning to ask why.

She just stared at Muffet adoringly as the ship was sailing on its course. According to Ralsei, they were heading for the next island on their way to the Grand Line. It was Yetara, the island of snow and aggressive wildlife.

Undyne and Muffet were weak to the cold, her being a fish, and spiders like Muffet who didn't have enough meat to keep them warm. Ralsei was fine because, well, she is covered by a thick layer of pitch-black fur and a coat.

Undyne glared away from her into the sunset.

Monster Kid, I wonder how you're doing right now? I wonder if he'll grow up to exact revengance on me? I hope I can find a way to make myself more useful to my captain. I'm tough, but that one spider girl does things that I would cower at. Even when filled with Determination, all I could muster was just gauntlets and a thin chestplate ...Mom, how were able to have full set of armor activated the entire time, while exuding a metric shit ton of Determination?

Undyne's thinking got her feeling a bit undervalued. She sometimes believed that her mother's strength was at a peak that Undyne believed she couldn't reach. She, herself, was pretty strong, but her mom was stated to be de-rooting whole mountain formations with a smack.

She sighed.

I'm sorry I'm so weak right now, but I promise mom, now that I know you're watching over me and my adventures, I'll work extra hard to make you proud! Your title was fitting mom, you really are immortal, because you'll always live in someone's heart. Mine! Undyne thought with a smile

Undyne flinched in slight pain and surprise, however, as Muffet landed exactly on her lap and sat on it. Besides the pain, Undyne didn't mind one bit. Now she was face to face with her captain. A face that, expressed slight concern.

"Hey, you alright?" Muffet said concerned, "It's been ten minutes and you haven't been active. You're usually brimming with stuff to do or say. So I find you here just sitting and thinking. What were you thinking about and why was it bothering you?"

Undyne was taken back by this exchange. She was flustered and she was filled with warmth from the blood rushing through her.

"I-It's nothing, I was thinking about nothing 'M'" Undyne said before getting softly bonked on the head by one of Muffet's arms that moved fast enough to where she couldn't figure out which one it was.

Muffet then started to use her middle set of hands to mush both sides of Undyne's cheeks and started to rub them. It was so childish and immature of her to do this. But Muffet wasn't always known for being the adult in any situation. She was the youngest on the ship after all.

Muffet just started to mush around her cheeks like putty. Undyne felt like she could just melt into her hands.

"No! As your captain I order you to tell me what's wrong! Lately, I've been feeling like I don't engage in much captain-like behavior around you guys so I'm willing to make a change. I want to make sure all my crewmates are happy." Muffet said with a pout that Undyne found adorable.

Besides her crushing madly over her spider captain, she couldn't help but notice how sincere she has been since StarDrop Island. Muffet has been deliberately thinking more considerately about her crew members as if she had grown new faith and attachment with them.

More importantly, how more attach she was with Undyne. She was more intimate with her, which was weird because she had stated that she didn't want to be in any relationship with her, nor was she homophobic.

Undyne sighed as she had to consider her captains order.

"I was just thinking about my mom again...hey, captain, do you think I'll be able to reach the level of strength my mother was?" Undyne said peering at her humbly with her one bright eye.

Muffet pouted again while sucking in her cheeks.

She rubbed her cheeks together extra hard and fast like she was trying to light a fire.

"Of course dearie~ my first mate should be the one to exceed all limitations. Of course, you can't access that power just by hoping and rushing it. It'll take time, how much time is up to you. You just need to work extra hard to achieve that and expand our roster. The more people to spar and inspire off from, the stronger you will be. That's what I believe anyway, it worked for me when I was a kid. My two brothers and Frisk occasionally, they'd inspired me with new tricks and powers they had gotten and it made me want to be stronger for them. You just need to stop comparing yourself, but to be inspired by others instead!" Muffet said putting her hands back to her hips.

Undyne. Was. Speechless.

She didn't even speak, she just sat there looking at Muffet who was just laughing to herself while looking at the sky in her self-appreciation. She slowly stopped the laughter to look at her first mate.

"You get what I mean dearie~ Imma go start making dinner, I wanna hear more of your battle stories, huehuehue~," Muffet said as she got up from Undyne's lap and walked towards the kitchen. Her jewelry being reflected off of the sunset.

Undyne was still immobilized from her words. Muffet lately also had these outbursts of enlightened and knowledgeable rants. The weird part too is that they always fixed the situation the person receiving the ran was in.

She just laughed.

Ralsei walked up to her.

"Some captain she is, huh? Honestly, being a pirate with her as a leader slowly eases my stress levels. She seems to be fit for the role of captain, with the strength and foresight to do so. I say foresight loosely, but her instincts are better than animals." Ralsei said impressed by her captain's abilities.

"Yeah, she really is something isn't she?" Undyne said with eyes full of passion and love for her captain. She was undoubtedly the most loyal one.

"From what you told me, there are still leagues of people higher in strength than our captain by a large margin?" Ralsei said recalling their conversation when they first met.

"Yeah, there are monsters out there that can most literally wipe us out with one strike each," Undyne said kind of proud and looking forward to fighting them.

Ralsei gulped.

"Then I guess we need to get stronger with our captain, don't we?" Ralsei said with a bit of fighting spirit in her, also kind of excited from the people they'd meet. Ralsei wasn't a fighter perse, she avoided any physical contact if she could. However, she loved the art of it and watching it.

Undyne grinned with, please.

"You're getting the motion now! We are the Spirit Parlour Pirates! We use our passions and desires to strengthen ourselves...and the people around us! Yeah-! I like the sound of that!" Undyne said going on a tangent, she was really prideful with herself and her friends.

Ralsei just gave her a soft and happy smile. Undyne nudged Ralsei on the shoulder, which was only possible if she crouched.

"Our crew should have a jingle or like a theme song. I always thought that was a cool touch any person needed. Like an on cue theme that gave hype whenever it came on...guess it's all those shows I used to watch as a kid, hehehe!" Undyne left while putting her hands behind her head, giving a hearty laugh. She left into the dining room to assist Muffet with her cooking.

Ralsei thought to herself.

"A theme, huh?"

.
.

"Huehuehue~ so you're telling me that you once saw Frisk D. Remmurr?" Said Muffet who was questioning her friend.

"Yeah! He had just made his own crew at the time. I was only two, but I remembered his face. He had a baby face hehehe!" Undyne said taking a big swig of her spider cider. Which tasted...unique.

Ralsei budded herself away from the conversation a long time ago, she was busy humming to herself.

"Frisk is the best Emporer in my opinion, I heard that his crew has the highest bounty ratio out of all the other Emporers-!" Said Muffet taking a hefty bite of her plate. And by plate, it was more like the whole table.

Undyne slammed her drink on the table.

"You're only saying that cause you're biased! The best Emporer is obviously Goldenbeard! The dude is labeled the strongest man in the world! He's way cooler than Frisk!" Undyne said laughing into the roof, assuming Muffet would side with her.

Muffet slammed and planted her left foot on the table while wrapping her right set of arms on her left set of arm's biceps. She seemed mad.

"Frisk is way stronger than shittybeard! You're the biased one here!" Muffet said with a face eager to fight. Frisk was her role model after all.

Undyne and Muffet's faces were eerily close to each other, the tension between them was heavy. It would take one word to set them off and have them fight.

Although our world is faded to black,

I know all the stories are true...!

You'll free us all, with me at your back!

And I'm glad to be there with you...!

Ralsei had said a little jingle that she spent the past dinnertime coming up with. She said it a little more than she needed to and sounded quite passionate about facing it.

Ralsei looked up from her plate and saw Muffet and Undyne looking at her with bubbly eyes, like how people would look at a cute puppy doing something adorable. She had completely defused the situation unintentionally.

"W-was that our team's theme?" Undyne said holding back tears of joy.

Ralsei got flustered.

"W-what?! No! That's my theme!" said Ralsei pouting in embarrassment looking away from them.

"A cute jingle dearie~," Muffet said giggling to herself.

Undyne looked at Muffet and smiled and vice versa.

They started thinking about potential themes for each other. Undyne, secretly already heard a song she had for Muffet.

She was planning on singing it to her a while back, back before she told Muffet that she liked her.

"Come on dearie~ you can say it now, huehuehue," Muffet said slightly drunk off her spider cider, everyone was a little tipsy.

"No, it's a shitty song, I hate it now. It's embarrassing!" Undyne said cheeks flushed.

Ralsei and Muffet were egging her on, she gave into drunk peer pressure.

"Fine fine...but I'm only ever making it to the first chorus!" It was a fair trade to them.

Silence went by.

Stumbling around our own ship,

It can't be ignored ...

The walls are muffled by laughter,

And so the floors...

I can hear her chilling laughter,

And see her smile...

She tells me sit and join her,

Please stay a while...

Can't shake the feeling like I'm

Hanging. By. A. Thread!

She seems to have my soul trapped

Inside . Her. Head !

She offers me a tray of biscuits ,

tea and bread!

Can't put my finger on it.

Can't put my finger on it!

There's something weird about the

Way. She. Speaks. To. Me!

There's something strange about the

Flavor . Of. Her. Tea!

I didn't have the means to

Keep her from this harmony...!

She's some kind of Spider Girl,

My kind of Spider Girl!

Undyne sighed after singing part of the song she made for her. She sang it passionately too.

Muffet and Ralsei was silent. It was a more awkward silence.

Yeah, it was sun beautifully and from the heart, but it came from a broken part of her, a shattered dream of a song.

Muffet felt the worst. She felt like a garbage captain honestly. Undyne was just looking down at her food, not wanting to eat.

It was a quiet dinner.

.
.

Undyne climbed to the top of the mast, she didn't have her own room because of the lack of space. However, she preferred she slept outside anyways, the breeze at night was soothing to her.

However, meeting her up there, seeming to have been waiting there, was her captain.

Muffet hands her arms around the lookout part of the mast. They were directly under their Jolly Roger. Undyne rubbed her tired eye to make sure she wasn't seeing things. She was never here, much less at this time.

Muffet had a stern face as if she had made a pretty bold decision.

Undyne tried to speak, but her captain just held up her top right hand's index finger to signal her to not talk.

"Look, I've been thinking ever since dinner, and I'm sorry. Although we talked about it a week ago, I feel like that wasn't enough. Not to say that you're in the fault, it's actually my fault, I'm just not a good enough captain." Muffet said looking off into the dark sea, away from Undyne.

She couldn't look her in the eyes.

"Don't bring yourself down 'M', it's just hard for me to deny my feelings for you. You're not a terrible captain, you've changed my life and Ralsei's for the better. I wouldn't have pushed myself or found any motivation if you didn't sweep me off my feet. You're the best at being captain!" Undyne meant every word she said.

Muffet was able to look at her now.

"I'm sorry Undyne, for crushing your desires on the Field of Hopes and Dreams. That song made me realize that you had lost something a part of you that day. And as much as I want to make up for it, I can't. There's nothing I can do, I'm not changing my opinion, I still don't rock that way." Muffet said shifting her eyes at Undyne.

Undyne sighed.

"It's alright, maybe I'll find someone who inspires me as you do and they'd want to enjoy being with me. Someone with a sense of pride or justice...but until then, I can't drive away from my feelings for you. It sucks too, cause that's what hindering me in my training and our spars, is my constant thinking of you. Maybe if I just, saw what it was like, instead of wondering the what if, then maybe I could get you off my mind for good. Like, a thoughtful and passionate kiss would snap me back into my senses, I'd be satisfied with that...but, you don't want to do that either and I understand your boundaries. I wouldn't force you into doing something you wouldn't. I respect you too much as a captain..." Undyne confessed.

Silence went by.

The silence was thickened by the tension of awkwardness, the breeze making time seems to flow by slower. Muffet still just looked into the sea.

Then.

She sighed deeply.

"If...if...I kiss you, like how you wanted. Would that completely take all your drive away from me...? Would that get you to stop making you crush me?" Muffet said blushing and unsure.

She had never kissed anyone before, outside of the stunt Undyne did on StarDrop island. However, she was doing this to be a good captain.

Undyne nodded.

"It'll make me stop, it's just the presence you have that's original, added with your physical charm. However, it can easily be replaced once I find someone I can truly be with. It's mostly the feeling of wanting to kiss you for everything you've done for me. So a kiss would definitely be-" Undyne said before her words were cut short by a pair of lips on hers.

Muffet had tackled her and grabbed her by her shirt, pulling her into the kiss. She looked slightly pained, but she was willing to persevere through it for her first mate. All this to be a good captain.

This took Undyne by surprise, she was stiff, not knowing what to do. Muffet didn't look her in the eyes, as her eyes were blocked by her bangs and the shadow of her hat.

Undyne just closed her eyes as she sunk into the embrace. She reaches her arms around Muffet's neck, pulling her closer. Muffet stopped clenching her shirt and just placed her hands on the wood floor of the lookout.

She could describe her captain's lips to be thin but soft, it felt like pushing a button. Undyne was in pure bliss, but just a regular kiss wasn't enough to get her mind off her.

Undyne, who was being dominated in this make-out session, was pinned against the curved wooden walls of the lookout. She just slipped a hand on Muffet's abs and one hand along her back, wide palmed and inching her way down to her rear. She wasn't sure if she was pushing it, but she still needed more from Muffet in order to make this work.

Undyne separated their lips, making their lips a couple of centimeters away from each other. Muffet looked at her immediately with tired and uninterested eyes and gave her a glance that silently said, "was that enough for you?" As much as it pained Undyne, it wasn't. They'd had to get more involved, to make her satisfied with knowing what it was like.

"More..." Undyne said embarrassingly desperate. She noticed how weak and vulnerable she sounded when saying that, that alone wanted her to stop.

But, Muffet closed in again, they continued the kiss. Undyne reached down to Muffet's rear entirely, she softly squeezed it. It was soft.

Then she realized. She's rubber, it's bound to be squishy. She slightly giggled at that. However, she still felt around her body without pushing it.

Then, as if on cue, Muffet's vest slipped off, leaving her bare. Being topless was such a common thing with Muffet that she didn't feel embarrassed whenever her vest fell from extreme weather. However, at this point, Undyne's mind was going crazy.

Moving her hand from her abs slowly up to her petite breast was a slow process, she couldn't stop herself. Muffet was visibly still pained from doing this, she was still hanging in there, this was for her best friend's well-being, she kept telling herself that to help her move on.

Then Undyne winced as she finally made it. She cupped her left breast and slightly have it a squeeze. She had felt she pushed it too much. She was getting way over her head.

The feeling of that washed away as Muffet let her tongue slip in. Undyne could've sworn, at that moment in time, she had accidentally gone to heaven. Undyne immediately repaid the favor by interlocking tounges. She tastes sweet, like her pastries.

Undyne completely took over from that point, she wrapped her legs around her captain, pulling her closer, she then used her arms to wrap on around her neck and one behind her head to feel her hair as they were kissing.

Everything was so good up into that moment. Then. Like a curse being lifted, Undyne didn't want to do it anymore nor ever again.

She felt a sense of relief, like finally being gifted an overdue reward. Her feelings for her captain quickly subsided into just a good friendship again. The kiss had made her realize her true feelings, somehow during an emotional kiss, she thought more rationally.

She considered that this was just a kiss, from a person who was just a crush, she didn't see anything long-term with Muffet. Undyne always wanted to be with a person who had a foothold in their life, was responsible and logical, and rational. She wanted someone with who she had common ground within terms of likes, she hated getting into arguments, and she wanted someone who had a level head during troubling times to soothe her.

And Muffet wasn't that to her. Not even close.

Every bit of romantic feeling towards her captain rapidly vanished, she realized that she was just putting her captain on a high pedestal for the wrong reason.

Muffet pushed away. A string of their combined saliva connecting them before snapping.

"Please tell me that was enough. I can't stand another second of that, no offense." Said Muffet wiping her lips with her forearm as to get rid of the kiss.

Undyne sat up and looked away.

"Yeah, I couldn't stand another second either. Congrats captain, I officially hate your guts, romantically that is." Undyne proceeded to do a hefty laugh.

Muffet then proceeded to put back on her vest.

"Glad I could help my first mate...however, this means that I'll have to kick your ass twice as hard tomorrow to make up for making me go through that!" Muffet said pounding her fist together.

Undyne chuckled.

"You were only winning cause I was holding back! I'd kick your ass anytime!"

"Is that a bet? Just wait till tomorrow!"

"What's stopping you now?!" Undyne said while forming a bident.

Undyne and Muffet stared at each other gauging each other's responses. Muffet immediately hopped off the lookout giggling. They were like innocent children playing tag now. Undyne preferred moments like this, as best friends are better than lovers. She shook her head.

Undyne stretched, not even considering how Ralsei was going to sleep when they were about to have an all-out spar.

Yep, she preferred the ship like this. She started to hate herself for even viewing her captain like that at all, as a punishment to herself. She'd begin to work twice as hard, doubling her workout. Even now, the thought of her captain's horrible kissing made her gag.

"I can't kick your ass if you're all the way up there!" Muffet said.

Undyne eyed her down before laughing. She hopped down, preparing to fight her best friend in a friendly spar. She didn't want it any other way.

I see now mom...you had a lot of friends because they all inspired you to be better. Instead of making excuses and comparing yourself to others, you sought betterment and motivation ! I'll be sure to do the same to my friends, I have to stop fantasizing on others and more on myself. I'll get stronger mom. Hell-! I'll grow to be stronge
