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!
"We are hardcore pirates..." Susie grinned at the thought.
and the other three crewmates stood next to her in a line.
"We take and do as we please!" Undyne said standing proud.
"And we shall take money from these people of Monzierre!" Muffet hyped her crewmates.
"Through...community service...?" Ralsei said tugging at her custom green apron that Muffet made out of silk and green dye.
They all were in Baker uniforms.
They landed the jaw bridge the noble island of Mozierre, an island of the East Blue's wealthiest. They had opened up their Parlour and had Fuhu be the advertiser of their Parlour.
Muffet hoped that the wealthy could spare their change on her pastries so that the word could spread. She hated the idea of pillaging and thought it wasn't the way to present themselves as the kind of pirates they were.
This was mostly a political stunt that Undyne and Ralsei didn't think Muffet had the brain to even comprehend. Susie just went along with it because she liked baking too, she wasn't nearly as good as Muffet but she did make some pretty good eclairs.
By making this Spider-themed Parlour run by a spider, she would hope to raise the awareness of the Spider-people. And what better way to do that than through the rich. Either way, this was a win for them as long as they don't fail on the Parlour.
"Undyne dearie~ you're on dishes and waiting for our guest." Muffet gave her a wink and a finger gun. Undyne nodded and accepted her role. Mostly because everyone on the ship, including her, knew she shouldn't be trusted in the kitchen. She had no skills in the kitchen whatsoever. Too many fires were caused because she was just trying to boil water.
"Ralsei dearie~ your job is to handle the making of the cookies, all unwanted extras go to Fuhu." Muffet gave her a wink. Ralsei nodded with vigor and was ready for her first business day.
Muffet looked at Susie and gave her a grin.
"Susie, you're working with me on the more intricate and delicate pastries, think you can handle working with the captain? Huehuehue." Muffet gave a polite smile and a flattering look at her archeologist.
Susie gave her usually an animalistic show of her teeth, she chuckled.
"Sure thing Cap'n." Susie put on her baker's hat. They'd all be lying if they said they didn't feel a bit stupid in silk baking uniforms amateurishly dyed in the color of their souls.
They sucked it up and got into their positions. They were now working pirates.
"Now everyone! Work in my name!" Muffet yelled trying to hype her crewmates.
They all thought about her choice of words. What did she mean work in her name, she would never word a sentence like that.
Her name was Muffet...Muffet D. Baker-
They all widened their eyes as the beam of realization hit them all. The realization was so heavy the boat dipped slightly underneath the surface of the sea.
No way she was named that before she was born, it's too coincidental.
Undyne just walked out of the Parlour and looked off the railing to see if any customers were coming their way.
She was sad to see that Fuhu was scaring them off, not intentionally, it was balancing the sign on its head perfectly...but his appearance was what was scaring the locals.
"Uh, captain? I think Fuhu needs to quit his day job." Undyne remarked. Susie got a laugh out of that.
"What? Why?" Muffet stretched her head around the counter and over the railing and saw the blunder that she made. She should have Undyne work the advertisement since she had the most flashy abilities out of all of them as she wasn't as terrifying. Granted, Undyne had the natural ability to discourage people based on her presence, but atleast she won't scare away the customers.
Plus, Fuhu was absurdly good at balancing stuff on his head so she could really have him be great at carrying dishes.
"Fuhu dearie~ switch places with Undyne real quick, please." Muffet motherly told Fuhu.
Her pet panted and raced back up the thin jaw bridge and onto the deck, where Undyne snatched the advertisement sign that Ralsei made off of its head.
"I better be paid overtime captain, Gehehehe!" Undyne walked down the bridge where people in seemingly outdated and fancy outfits stopped and looked.
Undyne blushed in embarrassment, she probably looked ridiculous with the outfit on, it didn't clash with her hardcore look and muscles.
She sighed and snapped her fingers. Spears that looked like arrow symbols were pointed at the ship. This caught more people's attention.
"Spider Bake Sale at the Ship of Hopes and Dreams! Made for spiders, by spiders...of spiders-" Undyne shouted to try and lure them to the ship, but she read that last line and got shocked herself.
"Excuse me! What was that last bit-?!" A nobleman asked with concern and was on the verge of telling everyone to not try their products.
"Nevermind THAT- The best pastries and cider on the East Blue! We have a dozen spider cookies for $50, Spider Devil Cake for $250, and Spider Eclairs and Croissants for $125. Stop by to see our diverse workers of different species and our establishment with an authentic meadow atmosphere! Here at-" Undyne spun the sign to add more amazement to the establishment but the corner of the sign hit her in her working eye and she knelt.
"Fuck-"
She just got up while that eye was teary.
"The Soul Parlour! We make sure to put our soul into it...!" Undyne gave a confident pose at the end of her advertisement slogan to add to the wow factor of her sales pitch. Her right eye still leaking tears and slightly red.
A few people gave each other a weird look.
She knew that it was because she was a fishwoman and that their ship didn't look too fancy. Maybe it was the price, granted this was an overly rich island. The prices they mentioned were chump change to them.
They were all still skeptical of her proposition and weren't sure if they wanted to tarnish themselves in such a low-budget eatery.
Undyne sighed and summoned more arrow spears, but this time, they were all aimed at the people who were considering.
The nobles just sucked up their pride and went up the jaw bridge, Undyne giving them a satisfied face as they passed.
"Hope you enjoy our products!" Undyne laughed.
The two men that Undyne had swindled got on the deck of the ship and were immediately greeted by the over-excited cupcake spider. They jumped back in fear, they hadn't seen a being like this in their entire lives.
They didn't know things like Fuhu even existed.
Susie went up to them, a black-haired, purple-skinned, tall and broody dinosaur girl took out her notepad. Her scruffy black bangs covered her eyes, her outfit was made out of yellow web silk.
"Sup. May I take your orders?" Susie said enthusiastically.
"Uh..." The nobleman was speechless. Everything they had witnessed so far was so out of the ordinary it was freaking him out.
The second guy had to speak in his place.
"We'll take uh...two slices of your spider cake?" He was hoping he hadn't butchered the name of the product.
Susie wrote it down and turned around towards the stairs that led up to the apt part of the port of the ship. That's where the Parlour was. The two men immediately noticed a giant crimson and crystal hammer that was attached to her back, waiting to be used.
They both genuinely thought they were going to die after the order.
They followed her and she gestured to them the stools in front of the purple and spider-themed Parlour. The two men gulped as they saw a spider woman working the utensils using all six of her arms.
A goat woman was seen scurrying along the floor carrying trays of cookies across the mini parlor. They were truly terrified for their lives. None of the staff here was human, so they couldn't really decipher if they were trustworthy.
However, the smell of the pastries and premade orders were alluring them. It eased their tensions and made them finally seeing a good side to their journey so far.
The spider girl noticed them with her second left eye as she was taking out a spider cake from the oven.
"Hey, dearies~ I'm happy to have you, two gentlemen, as our first customers. Please don't let our shocking appearance ruin your taste buds, huehuehue~" Muffet giggled and gave an eye to Susie that told her to say what they ordered.
"Two slices Cap'n, of the Spider Cake." Susie read out their orders and Muffet got excited. She gave the two men a wide toothy smile and took out a trident.
Undyne's "Bonetrousle".
The two men got back to quaking again.
"Undyne wouldn't mind me using Bonetrousle as a pie slicer, right? Come on dearies~ This one just came out of the oven, I put my soul into it, huehuehue~" Muffet giggled again while panning her eyes at the men's.
She put a slice on each plate and set it on the counter. She tried using her words and flattery to attract the men towards the counter.
The men had to admit one thing though, the women here weren't the ugliest looking...far from it. It was just they weren't comfortable with non-humans cooking the food. However, with a spider woman so cute and adorable, they should atleast give it a try.
The two men reluctantly sat down at the stool and paid their fee for purchasing the slices. The braver of the two men took the first bite, wasting no time to get this endeavor over with.
After the first bite, he felt like he was in a trance, the texture of the cake was smooth and easy to sink into, moist enough for there to be a passable to compliance with his jaw. The heat of the cake added to the comforting flavor, the cake had an indescribable taste, it wasn't like any flavor ever made, she had put her soul into this one cake.
All the tension he once had was quickly evaporated and gone, he had felt like he was at home and his mom had baked him this cake. His body slouched after the first bite and he lost grip of his fork, it clanked loudly against the porcelain plate.
"Is it to your liking dearie~?" Muffet suggested. She already knew the answer based on his reaction.
The man unbuttoned his suit without question as if he was at home and wanted to get loose. He felt like he could really just be comfortable here and eat like how he would behind closed doors.
The more scared guy was still uneased by the whole situation. However based on his reaction, he took in his first bite. He was caught in the same trance and began following that guy's footsteps. They finished their slice in moments.
Muffet started giggling to herself. Susie chuckled at how amazing her captain's pastries were. Ralsei just smiled seeing that their mini business was turning out to be a success.
The braver man looked at her with needy eyes.
"What's your name mam?" He said urgently.
"Muffet D. Baker! And no that isn't a pun, it's actually my name. I hope you guys liked your order and hopefully spread the word. We are only going to be here for a short amount of time." Muffet said with a patient and calm smile.
Ralsei decided to speak up then.
"Yeah, after dawn, we will leave the island, so eat while you can!" Ralsei really wanted to squeeze the most amount of money she could for these guys.
The braver guy grabbed the closest hand that Muffet had and bowed his head.
"Please Ms. Baker...I would like one of everything on the menu!" He said with bold vigor, his voice shook everyone else there.
Muffet was shy and didn't expect the outcome to be this.
"Uh- um, yeah! Anything else-" Muffet tried to get an offer out before the braver man shoved the other guy.
"Whatcha doin idiot! Let the island know!" The shyer man got up and ran off the boat reaching into his pocket for a transponder snail and started to speak into it, telling of the location of where he is.
Undyne saw him run by here and smiled.
"Looks like we're a hit!" She said folding her arms.
Susie leaned off the railing above Undyne.
"Hey, get your ass up here! We need more hands up here since we don't need ya advertising anymore." Susie playfully snarled at her.
Undyne kicked the wretched sign into the sea.
"Thank god! Honestly- that sign was the worst thing I've ever had to handle!" Undyne whined.
Just then, a news seagull came in and dropped today's paper. Susie was able to catch and open it up.
Hmm, Papyrus' bounty went up to 700 million because of the sinkage of eight ships and the defeat of a Vice Admiral...Ancient weapon on the loose of unknown physical appearance, government charging a hefty price of 500 million for anyone that finds it...Mont'Fliea successfully stabilized at the Calm Belt between the South and West Blue...New Warlord...Chara Winderfelt...Frisk D. Reemurr and Goldenbeard come closer to contact, World Government is trying to separate the two...Hmm, seems like today is quite busy...Susie read in her mind.
Today was quite busy in the Grand Line. Seems this Chara Winderfelt replaced Asriel Dreemurr of his Warlord title. That was one more person they had to worry about.
Undyne tapped her shoulder.
"I expect you to tell me what's on the paper after work. Now let's get to work- WHAT ARE YOU USING BONETROUSLE FOR?!" Undyne shouted at Muffet.
Muffet was caught red-handed cutting another slice with Bonetrousle.
"Ummm, nothing...?" She said with a shrug.
Undyne had to hold in her rage and get behind the counter for work.
.
.
It had been deep in the afternoon. Their ship's port and deck had been filled with customers, now it was lessening and lessening as people saw no more interest in it than just the pastries and the aesthetic. Muffet started to notice that.
They had made about $335,550 from morning till 5:00. They were a hit, to the point that they had to send Undyne to frequently get more supplies from in town. Everyone was exhausted but still willing to work, now that there was less customer, they finally were catching their breaths.
"652 slices...I don't think I can make any more cakes before my hands fall off!" Susie whined while shaking her hands.
Ralsei was slouched against the bags of flour.
"No more cookies...please..." She said while wiping the sweat off her fur.
Muffet was a bit sweaty herself, she was doing the most in the Parlour. She was resting on the counter catching her breath.
Undyne was just laying on the floor. She had done the least in the Parlour, but she had to consistently sprint to take a mass amount of orders, and wash the dishes, and go to the town and back for more baking ingredients and supplies. She was the most exhausted.
There were no customers that wanted orders at the moment, they had a few minutes to spare and take a breather.
Fuhu walked into the Parlour, also tired, with a stack of plates on its head. It weakly jumped and tossed all the plates and utensils into the sink and laid on the floor. Muffet petted him.
"Take five little buddy, you did well." Muffet leaned back and tried to gain more energy by drinking some of her own cider. It was kind of sugary so it provided a bit of energy. She gave everyone a cup.
Undyne downed it the second she even held it.
"That hit the spot! Oh! And Susie, here ya go! This the best I could scoop up that would seem to your interest!" Undyne dug into the pouch pocket of her chef apron and took out seventeen pages of a notepad that seemed to have something written on all of them.
Susie happily took them and started sifting through them.
"What were you two doing?" Muffet questioned.
Undyne answered for the both of them.
"Since I was taking orders, I thought that I could get some information on the history of this island just some other country gossip. Information that might be useful for us." Undyne said with a proud smile.
Susie was still sifting through the notes.
"As the archeologists and knowledge bearer, it's my job to take any form of information and knowledge I can. And so far, this information isn't worth it. It's all just basic gossip from the news...except this one, this one's interesting." Susie explained.
Everyone learned it and raised a brow.
"There this girl who has been being witch-hunted and chased down mercilessly for days...that's cold." Susie got a little saddened saying the note out loud. Everyone did.
Muffet sighed.
"As tired as we are guys, our quota was to hit $500,000 by the end of today. We are roughly about 75% of the way there. We gotta get back in the game!" Muffet said punching her three sets of hands together. She still had to wear the tight silk casts.
"Yeah but, after the customers we just had, we don't think we can attract anymore to come back. As good as your pastries are, people, have a satisfaction limit." Ralsei tried to reason to her captain.
Muffet thought about it for a quick minute before pointing to the sky victoriously.
"Most of our customers have been men between the ages of 18-40 right?" Muffet said to her crewmates that would be more knowledgeable about that question.
"Uh, yeah, why?" Susie questioned.
Muffet grew a sinister smile and grin. She gave Undyne and Ralsei a suggestive stare and started to creepily walking towards them with her palms wide and fingers extended. Undyne and Ralsei just cowered in the corner, too tired to fight back.
Muffet then started to laugh to herself.
"W-whatcha doin Muffet?!" Ralsei screamed.
"'M' You gotta calm down!" Undyne was panicking.
"Oh, my Dearies~ this plan is going to be fantastic..." Muffet said as she tackled her two friends and started taking off their uniforms forcefully.
After a heated and uncomfortable amount of minutes. Susie was the one that had to be behind the counter for most of the time. Muffet had stripped Undyne down to just her sports bra and tight shorts and purposeful splatters of cream on her abs and cheek.
She made Ralsei take off her coat and make her show off more of her...fur. now she wore a tied flannel crop top and jean shorts. She still had to wear her hat because of the issues with the sun.
Muffet had stripped down to just boxers and a tight ripped black crop top. She chose to wear the hat to compliment the rest of her.
Susie was ashamed that her elders were resorting to this. Susie was told not to do what they were doing because she was still a minor. Muffet had just turned 18 a few days after Yetera. Her birthday being on September 4th.
"Now dearies~ show off but don't let them touch...that'll be extra, huehuehue~" Muffet giggled at her joke.
Undyne and Ralsei turned to her.
"OI!"
"I'm joking guys I'm joking! Just show yourselves off, the men will go mad." Muffet said confidently in her plan.
"What kind of men will be into a goat woman in kid proportion?" Ralsei said with heavy sarcasm.
"Sickos! Sickos with money!" Muffet was rubbing her hands in greed.
Ralsei sighed in defeat.
Undyne shook her head.
"There's no way this will work!"
.
.
"Wow...I can't believe that worked..." Undyne said while shaking her head at their earnings.
They overshot their quota by $100,000. They now had 600,000 dollars to their crew. Muffet was just swimming in their money.
It was 10:00, they had run dry of their ingredients and frankly didn't feel like making more so they closed shop early.
Ralsei sat down on the lower decks' main room with everyone else and slouched against the wall.
"That experience did increase my confidence in my body...I never felt that wanted before." Ralsei admitted, she really did feel more confident in herself, her Courage was replenished.
Undyne shook her head.
"I could just feel all the men staring at me...it was weird. But hey, we were able to get through our quotas because of it." Undyne hated that her idea worked.
Muffet poked her head out of the money pile with Fuhu.
"I couple touched me, but the instant they realized I was rubber, they stopped, huehuehue~," She said before going in to swim in the money again.
Susie was just in the corner sifting through the collective information.
"Okay, so from the news...Papyrus' bounty went up to 700 million because of the ships he helped us take out." Susie started.
Muffet and Undyne got happy for two different reasons.
"Asriel Dremurr was replaced in the Warlord position by some girl named Chara Winderfelt."
Ralsei got happier.
"A bunch of stuff about the Revolutionary army and Emporer's yada yada... Oh, and Frisk is encountering Goldenbeard for something." Susie proceeded to continue.
Undyne and Muffet got excited again.
"Oh and the part that got me the most was that an Ancient Weapon escaped the pod and was on the run, they don't have any depictions on its appearance nor whereabouts...spooky isn't it?" Susie said with a grimy and interested tone to her voice.
Ralsei raised a brow.
"I thought the Ancient Weapons were all destroyed?" Ralsei questioned.
Susie shook her head.
"Nah, the World Government told everyone that, but they actually turned them into biomechanical cyborgs of some sort. They were in incubation for awhile...I guess one finally was hatched." Susie got up and started stretching.
"Each weapon must be monstrous in power and stature, they were designed by the world's evilest of minds. Designed to destroy the world, if the higher-ups don't catch them soon, then we are all doomed." Susie singlehandedly brought down the mood of the room. Now everyone was thinking about maybe encountering these Ancient Weapons someday.
Muffet was excited, another foe she would have to fight later on the Grand Line.
Undyne got a little excited too.
Ralsei was terrified.
"Also from the notes that I've read, apparently the legend of an island made entirely out of Emerald was spotted nearby. It only appears once every five hundred years, but every ship that has docked there has never left the island...Eh, I've heard scarier." Susie finished off her note reading for the day.
"So what I'm hearing is that we don't go there," Ralsei said reasonably.
"So what we're hearing is that we have to go there?!" Muffet and Undyne said while rubbing their hands together greedily.
Susie shrugged.
"Sure, I guess."
"HEY! MY OPINION COUNTS TOO!" Ralsei pouted.
Muffet laughed to herself.
"Sorry Rals, but this is a democratic ship, heh!" Susie snarkily replied.
Ralsei accepted her fate and just went back to resting on the seat.
Just then, they heard a little girl scream outside their ship, it sounded like it came from the coast.
They all looked out the ship's circular windows. They saw a blonde human girl, no older than ten, run across the shore bloodied and getting shot at. An angry mob, the witch hunt was happening.
Undyne growled, "This is sick!"
Susie growled too.
"This is vile, let's go guys-" Susie was immediately interrupted by Ralsei.
"Where's Muffet?!"
Everyone looked around the room, she wasn't there.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Muffet yelled from the night sky. The angry mob looked up to see a spider woman descend on top of them. She did not look happy.
"Ah! Muffet the baker! If you're here to stop this little demon too, grab a weapon and-" The man was immediately punched so hard in the face his head exploded on impact.
Everyone else in the mob at first didn't see the attack happen, she was too fast. It was only seconds later that everyone noticed.
The mob was in quiet shock, they stood there quiet. The little girl hugged her left leg while closing her eyes.
Muffet noticed that the girl had taken a beating, blood streaming down her head, bruises around her joints, and clavicle. A bruised eye and she seem to be malnourished a great deal. This seemed to piss her off even more.
Her crew got to the deck.
"Yo Muffet! What are you doing?! We just gave ourselves a good name-" Undyne shouted before Muffet gave her a look of intense bloodlust. Not as intense as Sans, but it was heavy.
"We didn't have a good name once we got a bounty! Make a wall of spears..." Muffet was uncharacteristically precise with her words, sparing no time.
"Wha-?" Undyne tried to utter.
"Undyne! Wall! Now!" Muffet yelled at her first mate with brain matter and blood on her clothes and face. Her crew wasn't scared of her, because honestly, they would do the same.
The mob of people're surrounded by a tall wall of blue spears, making getting through Muffet the only way out.
"Susie! Use your Justice to scan this girl...is she as bad as they say?!" Muffet demanded. Susie didn't waste a second.
"Justice Form Number Four: Judgement Call...nope. She hasn't committed a single crime in her life, nor has any malicious background." Susie said essentially giving her Captain the approval she needed.
A bullet was shot at the girl.
Muffet caught it as it was going to hit her face with her lower left hand.
More bullets were shot and Muffet sliced all of them in half using her sharp fingers.
Muffet then patted the girl on the head before lifting her and tossed her towards Ralsei.
"Tend to her! Make sure she's alright!" Muffet yet again demanded. Ralsei spared no time and took her downstairs.
Muffet looked back to the crowd, the angriest she has ever been.
"You see...you guys have just achieved world record...of pissing me the fuck off the fastest!" Muffet said cracking her knuckles.
"You see, I have a soft spot for children. Especially innocent children. I'm usually hard to piss off, and the most forgiving of people...but the abuse of children fills me with a rage that melts the fire of hell!" Muffet stated to the mob like she was a judge. They were all scared for their lives.
"B-b-but Ms. Baker, that girl-" The woman tried to say before Muffet took a power step and snatched her head right off her body.
Everyone backed up a couple of feet.
"You spiders are all criminals and monsters! You're sick!" One man said realizing that his words might be his last.
Muffet looked at him while licking blood off of her finger...the moon was shining on her.
"Don't correlate the history of my people with what I'm doing now...I'm just making a statement." Muffet said in a shrill and bone-chilling voice.
One man, seemingly the strongest the island has to offer stepped up. He was a tall man of lean muscle build and shades.
"I'm holding her off everyone, when I attack her, run, tell everyone of what happened here! I'm known for my speed, I'll be sure to end this fight as quick as possible." The hero said. Everyone was cheering him on, waiting for him to attack her for them to run.
"Behold spider lady...Mach...Mach 2...Mach 3...! Mach 5 Blitz!" The man launched himself at the spider lady at approximately five times the speed of sound.
Muffet raised one hand and brought it down.
She easily caught him in her punch. She used so much power and speed into the punch that when he hit the sand, the sand felt like a steel wall, and the man's bones liquified on impact with the sand.
The mob was filled with despair and sorrow. Muffet slowly approached the rest of them.
"He was too slow..." Muffet gave a stone-cold serious face as she clenched her fist in pure rage.
Undyne and Susie saw this happen and watched it thoroughly, not changing their opinions or feelings towards the captain. Cause honestly, if any of them had gotten there before her, the same would happen.
They all knew what it was like to be abused at a young age. They don't want the next youth to experience the same thing they went through.
What proceeded next, was a bloodbath.
