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!

Two, four, six, eight!

In this dizzying, twisting, dark romance...

Muffet hummed her little song as she woke up and got herself dressed for the day. She was in charge of counting the money, she loved money, for good reason too.

Her main goal was to make enough money to buy a whole continent for her spider kin. So money management did intrigue her.

************************************
"Oi, Sans!" Muffet said while frantically running away from a tiger that was the size of a house.

Sans was running a hot dog stand near the entrance of the village that was the divider between that and the unruly rainforest.

He was exceptionally lazy, so much so in fact, he was sleeping on the job until Muffet had requested his assistance. Sans never woke himself up for anyone, not even the customers, he just had faith that they'd take a hotdog and place the money next to his glossy skull.

Despite that, whenever Papyrus, Muffet, Frisk, or this cute goat girl needed him, he was always ready to pry himself off from what he was doing to be by their side.

This time though, he wasn't so inclined to help.

"Brother! Assist us with this really big feline!" Said Papyrus as Muffet and he was running alongside each other with tears in their eyes with fear.

It had been two years since the treehouse incident. Muffet had grown quite accustomed to her Devil Fruit and Sans knew she could quite easily handle this tiger, but the truth was, she didn't like hurting animals.

Papyrus on the other hand, over the past two years, has just been practicing this new type of martial arts. One that allowed him to specialize in kicks and attacks using long bone that Papyrus used as a multi-purpose tool. Papyrus never wanted to use his hands to fight, he was, well, wanted to be a chef. So getting his hands, his boney skeletal hands, broken, would hinder his dream.

Papyrus only knew how to make spaghetti, and only then it was barely edible.

Although his cooking was on par with nothing at all, his offensive ability and creativity were impressive. He had also been reading some of the books that Frisk gave Sans two years ago. To their surprise, it was about bone magic. However, Papyrus wanted to have his own original moveset instead of mooching off his older brother.

Sans had been dawdling in the book's magical teaching. In fact, there was never a time when he didn't exercise its teachings. Sans was incredibly strong, freakishly strong, ever since he got the book, Muffet and Papyrus could sense a new aura with him. He still had his sense of Justice, but there was something else with him too.

The thing with him though was that he never fought. He always avoided conflict if he could. In fact, despite being really lazy, he was the most flexible and agile guy they knew. He dodged every attack anyone had ever tried to hit him with while talking them out of fighting him.

To them, Sans felt like a judge.

Sans lifted his hand, a giant bone materialized in the air, coating in this blue aura. He then flicked his wrist towards Papyrus and Muffet. The bone then responded to flying towards the two children.

It flew over the heads and thrashed against the tiger's head, knocking it unconscious and falling over on its side.

Papyrus and Muffet just lay on the ground, hyperventilating as they were running for a while.

Sans then placed his boney hands on their heads and patted them.

"Y'all okay?" Sans said with slight concern.

The people from the village gawked and stared at the monster trio. They always freaked out whenever they saw them around, the village was predominately human. So seeing two living skeletons, and a spider girl just conversing like normal after knocking out a tiger that normally would've probably destroyed most of the village was an...abnormal sight to say the least.

"Sorry for prying you away from your job." Said Muffet turning back to him to meet his blacked eye sockets and blaring white dots as pupils. He seemed unamused.

"It's alright kiddo but come on, in terms of physical strength and versatility, you outmatch most of the beast here. You have to stop relying on me and my bro for progression. What if he got hurt cause you got reckless? Would you have been able to protect him?" Sans said judging her mistakes and her sin of sloth.

Papyrus felt bad.

"Brother...should we tell Muff about it?" Papyrus said with his red scarf covering his saddened smile.

Muffet looked confused, she started to pace her vision between the two skelebrothers. What did he mean?

Sans sighed.

Around this time, Frisk stopped visiting. Sans was 13 about to turn 14, Papyrus was 12 about to be 13, and Muffet was 10. Before meeting Muffet, Sans and Papyrus had a plan together which they'd promise they'd see through.

Sans, Papyrus, and Muffet became siblings through a pact. A pact where they each had a bowl of sake, then they'd share it with each other by interlocking arms and making the other person drink it in their stead. It was a bond they'd agree on to be siblings for the rest of their lives, they only had each other in the rainforest.

Now came the time.

"You see Muffet, Papyrus and I are going to be parting way with you and from each other for a short while...we promised that we'd set sail on the sea when we'd we had enough money and about the age of 13...and" He sighed again. Papyrus spoke for him instead.

"We were leaving tomorrow, little sister. We don't know where we are going, or where we'll end up. But, we want a better life out there, we wanted to be our own people doing our own incredible things across the world...we hope you will do the same when we leave." Papyrus said trying to give a bit more happiness to the news.

Muffet just stood there, blanked out.

My brothers...my true family, leaving me... I've never had to do anything that wasn't with them...they raised me. No!

Muffet bowed to them, the people of the village listening in on the conversation. The people of this short town felt a bit of remorse. Sure, they had pretty much shunned and shamed the monster trio for as long as they stayed, but their antics around the city were the usual. The thing that kept the place exciting. So hearing this, they couldn't help but feel responsible for her pain.

"No! Take me with you! I promise I won't be a burden-" Muffet pleaded.

"Muffet..." Sans said.

"I'll feed whichever one of you I go with, I'll clean, I'll help hunt, I'll-" She bargained with tears already streaming down her five eyes.

"Muffet..." Papyrus muttered solemnly.

"I-I c-c-can be useful, I'm strong, just please-" Muffet said before being hugged by both her skeleton older brothers. She still knelt on the ground, they went down to give her a warning embrace.

The village people looking at the spectacle felt a gaping void in their hearts. They all didn't believe that monsters like them had this capacity of care and humanity. They had more morals and the ability to be humane than the actual humans there. They wanted to speak up, but this wasn't their conversation to butt into. The whole village was eavesdropping by this point.

"I-It's not fair...! How am I suppose to see you guys again?! I don't want to say goodbye..." Muffet said as Sans and Papyrus still embraced her and rubbed the back of her head for comfort.

"We'll know where you are based on your success if your parlor blooms or you become a hefty pirate. You'll be famous like your older bros." Sans said in an upbeat voice to try and cheer her up, although Papyrus was more the type of person to do that.

"You heard him, sis! Just fight for your dreams and fate will lead us back to each other. You want to get enough money to buy the continent for your arachnid family scattered across the world, right? We will meet up with you again in the future with money to help your dream. You just have to do your part, I know you can!" Said Papyrus escaping the hug to go pose.

Muffet felt a little bit better.

Just follow my dreams and fate will lead us back together?

Sans broke the hug to go hold his hand out to Muffet.

"By the time you set out and find a crew, your older brothers should be well established in the Grand Line. We'll be separated so you'll have to find us both hehe." Sans said with a hand behind his head, sort of apologizing for the inconvenience that might cause her.

Muffet wiped off all the tears with an individual hand, using her last free hand to reach his.

"Listen Muffet, you are a strong girl, you'll breeze your way through this blue. You just have to persevere through the hardships and you'll find us. Us leaving, won't mean that we stop becoming siblings. You'll always be our little sister!" Sans said the most sincere he ever did.

Muffet felt warmth from his voice, Sans always did have a soothing voice.

"I...I think I can be here by myself...I was planning on leaving when I was seventeen. And don't worry, I'll sail across the Grand Line and find you two. I'll show you two how awesome your little sister is!" Said Muffet getting her pep back in her step.

Sans and Papyrus laughed.

"You always were awesome, but not as awesome as me- THE GREAT PAPYRUS~ Nyeh heh heh!" Papyrus said with his signature self-appreciation and laugh.

Sans just sweetly smiled at his brother and back to Muffet.

"Don't be so chummed out, we are leaving tomorrow, you have one more day with us. Let's celebrate, with a couple of cupcakes made by you. I'm too lazy to cook today." Sans said shrugging.

"And with my spaghetti!" Papyrus exclaimed pointing his finger to the sky.

"I'll throw you a bone this time bro-" Sans said giving a wink at his own pun.

"DANGNABBIT BROTHER- WHY MUST YOU PLAGUE MY DIALOGUE WITH INCIDENTAL PUNS!" Said Papyrus stomping his foot on the ground after each word.

Muffet just laughed at the whole ordeal. She had felt that she could survive on her own, she had to get stronger if she wanted to be reunited with her brothers in the future. The Grand Line wasn't a place you can dawdle into. Death was an occupational hazard.

Then a shadow leaped over Muffet, it was the tiger from earlier. Sans was too busy trying to call down Papyrus to notice the pounce.

The tiger swiped and cut Sans right across his sweater and white T-shirt. For some reason, blood came out, how could a skeleton bleed?

Sans was sent towards one of the cobblestone and hay constructions in the village.

Papyrus witnessed his brother get cut badly by this beast, quickly getting on his feet, he ran over towards Muffet.

"Don't worry sis, the Great Papyrus has this one! Go tend to Sans, get him some medical attention." Said Papyrus for once sounding more serious than usual.

"B-but Papy-"

"JUST GO!"

Muffet had counted all the money the ship possessed, they had collected $20,000 from the residents of StarDrop Island.

They were arriving at Yetera Island tomorrow, she and Ralsei were keeping stock on supplies to seek out what they needed to purchase and forming a budget of that.

She sighed put the money into individual bags that were labeled with what they were going to spend their money on. So that way they could purchase things much quicker.

It left only $3,000 for each of them to spend money on. It was a depressing number, but something is better than nothing.

.
.

Muffet's training had consisted of locking herself in her room, almost entirely naked and meditating. She sat with her legs crossed, and her arms sprawled out on her sides. She closed her eyes and bit herself on her top left arm.

If I'm going to be stronger, I need to work on myself more. I can't stay the same and letting my crew help me all the time, I need to be a definitive source of strength. I can't lose anybody...never again.

Muffet shot venom into her veins. The venom made her strong and gave her a short boost of energy. She was trying to find a way to keep the boost permanently. Muffet's body started to grow in size and muscle mass. Thyroid appearing on her buldgent muscles, she was now at the same bulk as Undyne. She tried to keep that form, but she couldn't for too long. She could only have it for five seconds.

Every one day, In the morning and night, she would practice holding in that power. She trained it before she could only use it for two seconds, now it was five. It progressed, but she wanted to get better. She wanted to know what was missing.

She sat in her room for a couple more hours trying to practice it. She'd keep on going till she ran out of venom, which usually made her hungry.

Besides the re-attempts and the failures of it, the training did help her muscle durability and strength while keeping her form. Her muscles took the venom boost and deflation as some sort of workout.

Muffet sighed and saw visible progress, although she knew, it wasn't enough to ensure her crew's safety.

She walked out of her room, putting on back her trademark open slit pants and open best. The spider cowboy has was hanging off the back of her neck with a string.

She saw Fuhu running in circles around the second floor of the ship. This made her smile.

Fuhu saw her and ran up to her with his tongue out. It pounced on her licking her repeatedly. She giggled in delight at this, she started petting it with her six arms.

She had found Fuhu in an underground cave a few years after Sans and Papyrus left. She took the liberty of claiming it and ended up making it her pet. It seemed happy to be with her, he was one of her kind that she had seen in a while. Proof that she isn't alone. People around the world hated spiders.

"Down boy, down...good," Muffet said calming down her beloved pet, the ship's mascot. She rewarded him with a spider bagel.

She looked forward to the rest of the day.

.
.

"Gum Gum! Spider Bullet!" Muffet exclaimed as she stretched her arm back while running down the mast of the ship. She was only using her top right arm to attack with.

Undyne who was previously knocked towards the mast dazed was looking for her spar opponent before realizing too late where she was.

Undyne's and Muffet's spars have become an everyday occurrence. They've been getting more intense each time they did it, both training their souls and testing out new abilities, and working on their strengths and weaknesses. However, although they were getting more intense, the gap between power was still the same distance away.

The punch connects on the top of Undyne's head, smashing her head to the floor of the ship, making her head pierce through the floorboards. Ralsei, who loved watching their spars, sighed. She knew she had to fix that later.

Muffet landed back down next to Undyne who was trying to pry her head from the floor. She looked quite worn and tired like how she normally is after fighting her. She says that every time she spars with Undyne, she notices flaws in her technique that she didn't know were there. Undyne quoted the same in vice versa.

"So dearie~ what is that? 17 to 0?" Muffet said in a boastful laugh.

Her first mate mimicked her with her head still wedged in the floorboards.

Ralsei got up.

"Actually it's 22 to 3" Ralsei corrected.

"Look! Nerd keeps count!" Undyne was still muffled through the floorboards.

"I don't wanna hear anything from someone eating sawdust," Ralsei said teasing Undyne.

Muffet had noticed that ever since she has officially been on the crew, Ralsei's attitude and personality has been slowly shifting. A once shy girl was boldly conversing and holding her ground, verbally, with her first mate.

Just as she finished that thought, another seagull baring a newspaper dropped off a copy of the news.

Ralsei caught it and opened it, Undyne managed to pry herself from the floor and looked her way.

"Alright, navy, as usual, trying to find us...Warlord Asriel...Dremurr..." Ralsei sighs. They don't know why. "Has resigned as Warlord? Huh. That's surprising. What else...? Oh! Taking his place is...Chara? Who's she?" Ralsei said really analyzing the paper.

Undyne rubbed her chin.

"Chara...like, the one who used to be on Goldenbeard's ship? Why'd she leave his crew and become a Warlord? She was his third commander wasn't she?" Undyne said with a puzzled look on her face while slowly sitting down, crossing her legs too.

Muffet was 100% out of the conversation, besides Frisk, she didn't know the existence or drama about any other pirate crew. However, that name stuck with her.

Asriel Dreemurr...why is that so familiar? Frisk's last name is Reemurr with a 'D' as his middle initial. The coincidence was too uncanny, she'd definitely have to talk to Ralsei about that later. Muffet thought while rubbing her chin.

"Yeah, it doesn't say why. She just did. The last bit of importance on the news is that the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Toriel, has shifted her Commanders. The new second in command of the Revolutionary army is...this skeleton guy? How is that possible?" Ralsei said burying her nose in the newspaper.

Muffet's ear perked.

She turned to Ralsei with a five-eyed stare, one that peered through the poor goat girl's soul. Ralsei started to quiver.

"What's the skeleton's name dearie~," Muffet said eerily slow. This made Ralsei ironically pick up her pace.

"Uhm...Sans Snowden, why?" Ralsei said.

This made Undyne and Muffet jump. Undyne had heard Muffet's story about her brothers before, so she knew that name.

Muffet squealed in delight. So did Undyne. Ralsei just stood there confused.

"Your oldest brother is the second in charge of the Revolutionary Army?! That's badass!" Undyne said proudly of her captain.

Muffet just stood there proud also, as if she was the one who got that promotion.

Ralsei spoke up.

"Um, how strong is the second in charge?" She said curiously.

"That's as strong as the first commander for any Emporer, maybe even slightly stronger. First Commanders for Emporers have the power to wipe cities casually and fight against Navy Admirals like kids playing soccer. Granted, they are still not strong enough to beat Admirals, but they're close." Undyne said picking her teeth with one of her freshly spawned spears.

Both of the other girls learned something new that day.

"I really want to meet your brothers 'M'!" Undyne said with her sharp tooth smile. Muffet returned the same smile.

"You will once we get to the Grand Line! They're really cool! Way stronger than me." She said putting emphasis on 'way'.

Ralsei raised her brow.

"You have two other brothers...that are skeleton's...you need to tell me about this." Ralsei said putting the newspaper into her coat. No one ever knew what was in the under part of her coat. There were confirmed to be pockets, but they never knew what it held.

Undyne got her captain in her headlock.

"Yeah, dork! You have to tell me more about your bros. Especially about this Papyrus guy! He seems like a guy I can totally chill with!" Undyne said with a drizzly but caring voice.

Muffet sighed.

"I guess it's my turn for dinnertime stories." She said with a slightly forced smile.

Ralsei and Undyne cheered.

.

.

She ran over to her bleeding brother. He was still conscious but couldn't move.

Muffet was conflicted, she had no medical experiences, nor could she find anyone to heal him. She knew the people in this town would kick them out the instant they walked in.

"Femur Flambe!" Papyrus shouted as he ax kicked the tiger on its nose, making it bounce its head on the ground from the sheer force of the kick.

Papyrus was strong when he wanted to be. Regularly, the man wouldn't hurr a fly, he had great manners. However, he drew the line at family.

However, this oversized cat was resilient. Once it bounced up from the hit, it swiped at Papyrus.

The tall skeleton blocked with his Multi-bone, however, the force of the attack sent Papyrus flying regardless since he was in the air. The tiger's paw was roughly about a foot taller than Papyrus. And Papyrus at that time was 6'0.

The skeleton smacked against the ground but immediately recovered. He rushed towards the feline and attempted a jump with an overhead swing of the bone. The bone connected and cut the tiger down the face.

The tiger was still hanging in there and turned around using the jumping force of its hind legs to thrash him with its rear. It does so successfully and sends Papyrus rolling on the street's gravel.

Papyrus was caught off guard by that move, he couldn't block the next move. The tiger was coming in to cross swipe, surely about to end Papyrus's life with one attack.

Muffet was conflicted yet again, it was either help her older brother or help the other older brother. She loved them both equally.

Papyrus panicky turned around with a cracked skull.

"B-behold my special attack, B-"

"GUM GUM! SPIDER HAMMER!" Said Muffet as she slammed on the colossal tiger's back with six hammer arms.

Papyrus looked shocked and relieved at the exact same time.

"Muffet, just take Sans and run! Find if there's anything in the book that can heal him!" Papyrus said trying to get back up to stall.

Muffet looked frustrated.

"I-I can't read!" Muffet said angrily at herself.

Silence went by.

"Huh. Me neither!" Said Papyrus before the cat got back up.

The tiger swiped and clawed Muffet along her back, and with its other paw, it swiped her away.

"MUFFET...! AHHH!" Papyrus said before he jumped up and delivered a flurry of kicks to the tiger's snout. It knocked the feline back a couple of meters immediately pouncing back and tackling him.

The tiger was growling at Papyrus intimidatingly. All he could do was struggle and squirm.

Muffet was trying to get up and fight, but the giant scar on her back was hindering her. She saw Sans faced down on the ground taking small breaths. She didn't want it to be like this.

Why was life so hard for specifically them?!

Then, appearing from every crevice of the village was the residents with spears and pitchforks and flintlock pistols. They circled the tiger while also protecting the monster trio.

Why were they protecting them now? Muffet's head was spinning.

"Hey! Stupid cat! Over here!"

"Yeah, you want to hurt these kids too have to go through us!"

"Leave those kids alone, we don't mind turning you into soup tonight!"

All the residents of the small town pitched in for them. The tiger backed off from Papyrus.

A lady picked up Sans and Muffet.

"Are you two kids okay?" Said the woman in a motherly voice.

Muffet just gestured a weak arm to her oldest brother.

"He needs more medical attention, he was hurt bad-" The spider girl said weakly.

The woman cried out.

"It hurt the children!" The other villagers heard her loud and clear.

"It hurt the children!" They all roared a war chant as they charged the tiger. Needless to say, it was taken care of.

.

The monster trio was patched up and treated to a town-wide festival using the meat of the tiger.

"We are so sorry you three." Said one of the men who was seemingly speaking on behalf of the whole community. They could gather that he was the mayor.

Sans, Papyrus, and Muffet were huddled together in a secluded table to themselves where a whole banquet for them was.

"Nah man, it's good." Said Sans casually.

The man knelt humbly.

"No. As a man and mayor of this town. My duty is to protect and make sure my citizens are comfortable and safe. Seeing you kids graciously fight for your life out there, speaking to each other like family. Made me realize that you three aren't monsters...you're people too...more humane than the rest of us are." Said the mayor.

The trio stopped eating. They just stared at this man who had just laid his heart out for these three kids. Muffet smiled.

"It's about time you saw it our way, now for compensation, you can-" Muffet said greedily trying to push in a political favor. She was quickly cut off by getting bonked over the head by Papyrus' bone club.

She rubbed her head that had a burning knot on it.

"The Great Papyrus' humbly accepts your apology great human! We ask for nothing but for you to take care of our little sister when we leave." Papyrus said graciously. The mayor didn't say anything else, he just nodded and stood up.

"My men will pack you two boys anything else you need on your ships. I'll also keep a close eye on your little sister." The mayor responded humbly.

They resumed their eating.

Overall the festival was a great way to pass the time, a grand final goodbye to her brothers for a long while. She finally had atleast a place she could call home and feel accepted. However...

Muffet had finished her story.

Ralsei and Undyne's jaws were dropped the entire time.

"Sorry if it wasn't to your liking Dearies~..." said Muffet who was immediately berated with apologies and assurance.

"Your childhood was just fighting really strong beast of the rainforest every day...that's rough. Did the town life atleast support you?" Undyne said.

Muffet shrugged.

"It was decent, but It's nothing compared to you guys!" She said as she took a bite out of her steak.

The two other crew members looked confused.

"You two remind of my brothers, you have the same energy, height gimmick, the way you two banter on this ship based off a forest of long ago...makes me feel at home...the better part of it..." Muffet said getting slightly choked up in tears.

Undyne ran to her captain and Ralsei just boldly ran over the table to hug her. The hug was essentially a tackle to the ground, the same way her brothers hugged her back then when they said they were going to leave. Except for this time, they were never going to.

Muffet let out a heavy sob.

"Thank you two...for not leaving...I'll work harder to ensure you two stay with me...I need you guys." She said before Ralsei and Undyne hushed her.

Muffet knew that they knew that she had what it takes. There was no point in talking.

She just sat there and absorbed the moment.
