An Original Story Line and Script Plot By Vapor_Dust

Special Thanks To Everyone That Supported Me Thus Far.

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 reach 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 all the way 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 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!

.

.

It was a beautiful day outside...birds were singing...flowers were blooming. On days like these, pirates like them, would set foot onto a new island.

Undyne was finishing her set of weights that she got from Monzierre, the island sold a lot of heavy-duty sets of plates and bars. She was benching a four thousand on each end of the pole, the pole itself weighing about one thousand pounds.

With each lift, Undyne didn't change her stoic and happy face. Today, everyone was excited.

Hera was the happiest, watching her mother work out, soon to embark on an island to free her friend. This day was set to be a phenomenal one.

One, push! One, more!

One, breath! I'm , sure!

That- we'll go down in history...!

Two, thrust! Two, jabs!

Through, pain- We laugh!

There's no room on this sea to be lonely...!

Hera loved whenever the people on the ship sang, it made her feel safe, it made her feel comfortable.

Hera dueted with Undyne.

Through, pain- We Love!

We'll, do- all of the above!

We've come, this far!

We sailed- We embarked !

To close this saga, out at sea...!

Undyne set down her weight and sat upright facing Hera. She rubbed the top of her head for a good job.

There wasn't a moment where she didn't love to give Hera positive reinforcement. Her smile was more than rewarding. She would soon have for when they had to say goodbye later today, this whole journey to the Emerald Peninsula was to reunite Hera with her 'Gaia' friend and venture all over the world to find her other friends. The other Ancient Weapons.

They were still wary of that idea, releasing all of the Ancient Weapons, but Hera assured them that she'd talk the rest of them out of their programming if it was possible. It was a risky gamble, but they couldn't bet on any other outcome.

So there they were, about to drop anchor in front of what seems to be, a secluded section of the Peninsula. It was great to docking the ship because it would be hard for anyone besides them to find.

Ralsei and Susie had to explain to the crew earlier that, since it was a Peninsula, that would mean that it was connected to the barricading mountains of the Grand Line, meaning that after dropping Hera off, they would enter the Grand Line officially.

That aspect of their journey was frightening to them, except Muffet and Undyne, they seemed all too excited about it.

Susie and everyone were looking off the railing of the ship to get a good view of the Emerald Peninsula, it was just as they expected it. The soul and the trees were made out of pristine green emeralds.

Towards the middle of the land seemed to be a giant emerald pyramid that was half-submerged into an emerald mountain range that spanned backward into the even more gargantuan mountain ranges that encompass the Grand Line's borders.

This land seemed to be all forest except the pyramid formation. On top of that, it was really hard to spot anything with the light reflecting off of the emerald's crystalline properties.

It was always Susie's job to raise and drop anchor, so she ran to the opposite side of the ship and released the steel arch that would firmly plant the ship in place.

Heave, ho! We'll go!

'Cross this illuminated zone!

To settle the score with the weapons ...!

Each step we take!

Every move we make!

Side by side again-!

We keep pushing on ahead-!

Because we are the-

Susie was getting into the contagious flow of the ship. The Field of Hopes and Dreams was a ship where everyone was free to be who they are and to speak their minds individually, but they did it together.

Ralsei tucked the Yo-Yo they got from Monzierre under her cloak. She made sure to hand everyone a travel package since they won't be on the ship for a while.

They only had until tomorrow dawn to leave before the Peninsula would re-submerge into the ocean depths.

Fuhu was in charge of guarding the ship like always.

Ralsei prepared her vocal cords, she loved singing the ballad part of any song, especially the chorus'.

Soul Parlour Pirates!

Do try and fight- us!

Even if we fall- we will stand tall!

Beating you is our destiny...!

We will strike you down...

No one can stop us now...!

Through violence and close shaves-

We will save the day!

By beating you into the ground...!

Everyone stood in a 'V' behind Muffet, who was standing on the railing with her arms folded.

A grin escaped her lips which quickly evolved into a wide smile, the smile that filled their crew with warmth and confidence.

The Queen of the Pirates; makes her debut~

I fight to bring joy to the very few,

Who quietly quiets around the Navy HQ!

To liberate them from silence-

I silence with violence-!

And bring home my Spider Kin too...!

And although the world has faded to black...

I know all the stories are true...

We'll free them all-

Injustice will fall!

And it's all thanks to me and my crew...!

Muffet wrapped up their little victorious musical number while slowly turning to her crew and giving them a patient smile and adoring look.

She loved her crew, and although she told them that every day, she still feels like they need to be reminded about how much they mean to her.

Her arms still had the silk cast over them. All six of them.

The crew returned the favor by giving her eyes of trust and adventure.

That's all she needed.

"Alright, Dearies~ We're here!" Muffet screamed into the emerald forest, everyone was making sure they had their equipment.

Hera hitched a ride on a little pouch that Ralsei carried on her back satchel.

She was essentially the same to Ralsei as a joey to a caring maternal kangaroo.

They were all set to go. Susie thought she would brief them before they would exit the ship.

"Remember dumb and dumber," She said first pointing to Undyne then Muffet. They pouted in anger.

"We have no time for playing around, we have to maneuver our way through the Peninsula, it's massive, find the pod containing "Gaia", then quickly leave the island before its re-submerge at dawn! Right now it's 7:00 AM, you got that-" Susie was explaining this while looking at Ralsei for confirmation. However, when she looked back, the two she was talking to were already gone and was out exploring the emerald forest.

Susie's facepalmed.

Hera giggled and so did Ralsei.

"Guess mommy and auntie Muffy were too eager this time around?" Hera said amazed.

The black-furred goat girl kept laughing to herself.

"Seems those two were wishing to step foot on this piece of land. I'll just look around with Hera to see if there is any civilization or locals near the base of the mountain. What will you do?"

Ralsei couldn't help but still laugh at how fast the other too ditched the scene. They were the most adventurous and curious people she knew.

Rubbing the bridge of her nose, Susie stepped one foot off the island.

"Imma find those two idiots and we'll focus on what's on the top of the mountain. Have any problems with that doc?"

Susie showed off her new grey sweater and baize cargo pants unintentionally. The lighting on her clothing was perfect, the morning sun complimented her outfit.

She brushed back her black hair in annoyance with her higher-ups.

"I don't mind, but do please try and find them before they spend the entire day goofing off."

Ralsei and Susie gave each other a knowing nod and the purple dino girl ran off into the forest in a direction that she didn't necessarily know if it was the way they ran.

The goat girl sighed before looking at the child who was nuzzling herself between her shoulder blades.

"Alright Hera, it's just you and me now. You don't mind that, right?"

Hera shook her head, this brought a proud smile to Ralsei's face

Before leaving the ship, they made one more glance over to Fuhu, who was happily circling itself on the deck, making a good watchdog.

After that, they disembarked onto the Emerald Peninsula, walking in the direction opposite and parallel to Susie's path.

They had chosen a weird part of the peninsula to dock on, and everyone was already split up from the start, however, that's how they are every time they are on an island. Fate always seemed to separate them for a good portion of their trip.

Ralsei chose to wear the same outfit she wears on occasion, her forest green hat and oversized cloak. However, now and days, instead of leaving the cloak surrounding her body, she let her body show, showing a blank tank top and grey pants.

Hera wore a light blue vest-hoodie just like Muffet, she admired her for her taste of clothing, but unlike her idol, she made sure to cover up her midsection. She wore that and darker blue shorts.

They continued in that direction for a great while.

The Emerald Peninsula was roughly the size of a whole country, an isolated country...

Or so they thought!

.
.

"You ain't winning this race 'M'!" Undyne was rapidly dashing past the emerald trees and roots.

Muffet had rolled herself into a ball position and bounced along the emerald trees to travel across the land faster.

She was having a splendid time.

"Yahoo! I can't hear your dearie~ Your mouth is filled with the dirt I'm leaving you in! Huehuehue~"

She was way too confident in her race with Undyne. They were set to race towards the mountain, first to get there would be the first to claim the treasure or items that were there.

They had made this bet way before even docking, days prior.

In relative to each other, the ship was docked at the East side of the peninsula. At the North-most side of the Peninsula, was the emerald pyramid with the Emerald mountain range that was connected to the rocky barriers of the Grand Line. The middle, West, and South sides of the island were undetermined and unexplored.

Susie's path was her running from the East side where they docked, over towards the middle. She had assumed that's where the first two ran towards.

Muffet and Undyne had been running a curve through the Emerald forest, from the East to Northeast. With the speed they were going at, they'd be the first to arrive at the Temple.

Ralsei and Hera were taking a trip around the shore that was connected from the Eastside to the South. They were expecting to find any form of ancient civilization and trying to get information about Gaia and her location.

Now we resume to Muffet and Undyne who were running at an incredible pace through the emerald forest.

"Oi! Undyne dearie~ is it me, or does this island seem...barren?" Muffet had stopped the race momentarily, they both had to catch a bit of breath.

Undyne pondered that thought.

Although the Peninsula was indeed a huge piece of land, they had traveled a considerable distance and they'd seen any structures or people.

They both just chalked it up to it being because the Peninsula stays submerged so no life could exist on it.

However, that theory was canceled out by the fact that there's a man-made pyramid on the peninsula.

"You think there are people up there?" Undyne thought as she wiped some smudges of crystal dust off her light green shirt.

Undyne had chosen to wear an outfit befitting the Peninsula's expected color.

She wore a light shirt with sharp and rugged sleeves that displayed her biceps well. She also took a note off of Muffet's fashion book and decided to wear a dark green blouse with a slit opening on the left side of it that slightly exposed her left thigh and downward. She also decided to wear the jewelry they got from Monzierre which was two golden rings that wrapped around her wrist.

Muffet chose to wear a purple hoodie with a purposely torn and shredded mid-section to slightly exposing her chest and abs. This time, however, she chose to wear black jean shorts with a golden belt.

"I think so! Hey! Do you think we can smuggle some of these emerald trees!"

Muffet's eyes spelled greed all over them.

Her first mate sighed at her proposal but slowly grew to keep her mind open to the possibility. Although they were good on money for a short while, it wouldn't hurt to stock up on more money.

Since money was the main goal of Muffet's.

"Let's try!"

Undyne took out 'Bonetrousle' before getting into a batting stance. She was planning on at least splintering the emerald tree.

She swung with a tremendous amount of force, Muffet watched in awe as the force of winds from the swing rustled her hair.

The blow connected and Undyne flew back in pain as if she was hit by that attack. The cut from 'Bonetrousle' sharp trident points was etched along with her abs. The cut wasn't deep, but a cut nonetheless.

Undyne's back was thrashed against another emerald tree, that reciprocated the impact back onto her. The force of her smashing against the emerald bark was countered back onto her backside and she flew forward towards Muffet.

Muffet watched in awe and fearful shock as these trees were bodying her first mate, knowing she might be next.

They rammed into each other and groaned.

"What the fuck is wrong with these trees?! Every time you hit one, it just relays the damage back to the attacker!" Undyne rolled off of her captain and sat upright tending to her stomach cuts.

"Safe to say we shouldn't do that, huh dearie~?"

Undyne smacked 'Bonetrousle' onto Muffet's head for that comment.

"IT WAS YOUR IDEA DIMWIT!"

Undyne scoffed and collected her thoughts, she now knew that stealing any form of emerald from this island was not going to happen.

Heh, so much for that plan! She thought.

The fishwoman cut back to her senses.

"Wait, weren't the others following us?"

Both of them panned their heads in a 360-degree radius and shrugged.

"Hopefully they're doing better than us, we are not even close to this temple yet...at least we got 'till dawn."

Undyne was trying to look on the bright side.

"Yeah! I hope they have meat in that pyramid!" Muffet greedily rubbed her hands together.

"YOU JUST ATE!" Undyne yelled, causing a slight rustling behind one of the emerald bushes next to them.

They both flicked their heads to the noise but continued to sit there and hope that their stare alone would drive the perpetrator out.

There was a brief silence, the rustling noise made less and less sound, then in a reluctant stride, a little boy walked out from behind the bush.

The boy seemed no older than ten, he seemed lost and scared and confused. Not from around here. However, from his tattered clothes and scuffed up skin. They could tell that he had been on this Peninsula for quite a while.

Long enough to be harmed and scared.

"Oi! Kid! Was the tree magic your doing?! Why I oughta-!" Muffet said stretching her fist back to perform in the infamous Spider Magnum attack.

The kid flinched and fell on his backside, holding his arms out in fear.

"No-No! It wasn't me! It was the doing of the owner's will!"

The kid was terrified for his life.

Undyne smacked Muffet again on the head with 'Bonetrousle'. The spider captain was furiously rubbing her head in pain.

"Hey kid, what's wrong with ya? Why do you look like you've fought wildebeest out here?" Undyne remarked.

The kid took a deep breath.

"I'm one of the luckier ones..."

The boy rubbed his arm timidly.

Both the women raised their brows with extreme exaggeration before looking at each other in concern.

"Wait dearie~ what do you mean one of the luckier ones?"

Muffet dropped her laid-back attitude for a second, a kid was harmed and many more might have been. Innocent kids were not allowed to be hurt on her watch.

"I...c-cant say! I finally left to have a chance of surviving tonight!"

The boy started to run away from them at surprising speeds for a person his age.

Undyne groaned at the thought of running again.

"Lemme guesses, you wanna chase him, cause you to know, adventure, right?"

Undyne did air quotes while saying "adventure". She looked at her captain to see eyes of childlike wonder and a nod of sheer glee.

She couldn't help but smile at that, she chuckled and sighed.

"Alright 'M'...KID! GET BACK HERE!" Both Undyne and Muffet ran after the kid side by side.

.
.

"So Hera, how is your friend like?"

Ralsei was trying her best to keep a conversation going with Hera, it was easy but, the more it was quiet the more unsettled she felt about the place.

Everything there felt alive...

"Hmm, she's brown! She has green hair! She's tall! And she's naked!"

Hera blurted out all of that with the most innocent intentions.

Ralsei tried to envision what Gaia looked like from her description.

"So is she uh...nice?"

Ralsei blamed herself for not finding a better way to word it.

"Yeah! Don't worry auntie Ralsei, once we get her out, she'll be confused but then I'll talk to her. She won't be a problem, I promise you."

Hera loved to nuzzle on Ralsei anytime she could, her fur was insanely soft and plushie. This time, she prided on rubbing her face between her shoulder blades.

"Really? Are you sure that this isn't going to scale to some colossal brawl with her? That's how our adventures usually go."

The black-furred goat girl was hoping that this Peninsula adventure wasn't going to end in some giant fight.

"I promise you, this will all resolve peacefully and we can all go home and laugh about this whole thing."

Hera was way too optimistic.

Ralsei carried her along the shore with hopes that they'd find a civilization somewhere or at least a person or guide that'll help them.

It had been almost half an hour and they were completely dumbfounded by the lack of structure and diversity of the Peninsula. It was just Emerald trees for miles and miles, and that was it.

Ralsei gave a disappointed sigh.

"Man, do you think we should start heading towards the mountain ranges? I feel like there's nothing for us at the shore."

The goat girl was a bit annoyed and disappointed with this peninsula's layout.

Hera was just humming to herself.

"No auntie, let's keep going. Mama and Muffet are on their way towards the pyramid right now. We should at least see if there's a shortcut."

Ralsei reluctantly kept walking forward.

They mostly talked about stuff they liked and just topical conversations to pass the time, it was an insanely long walk.

After a while, she finally came across something.

"Whoa! Another pirate ship?!"

Hera hopped out of Ralsei's back pouch and started to run across the sand towards the ship.

Ralsei held out her hand and started to chase after her.

"Hera- no! Don't get near that!"

The pirate ship's Jolly Roger seemed to be a cat skull with colorfully painted cat ears. The background color of the flag was in pink and yellow stripes. At each corner of the flag seemed to be a leash bell.

I've seen this somewhere before... Ralsei thought to herself.

Hera was leagues faster than her, so she was able to jump and land on the ship, spiking up Ralsei's concern levels.

"Hey, auntie! It is empty up here!"

Hera jumped from the railing to show how abandoned the ship was at the moment. The ship had peach-colored wood and the rails and mast were an obnoxious yellow. It was quite a huge ship too.

"That's cool but get down from there! We can't risk getting caught up there!"

She yelled to make sure her voice project up to where Hera was, the distance was considerable.

"Yeah but auntie, imagine all the loot we can get from this ship!"

The goat girl facepalmed. Muffet was having way too much of an influence on her. Which normally was a thing that happened on the ship, everyone began to slowly use her lingo and her clothing style.

Even she had been caught saying "dearie" and "Oi" on multiple occasions.

However, since she's a kid and impressionable, her greed rubbed off on her.

"Still Hera, stealing is wrong. We raised you better!"

Hera tapped her chin trying to think of an excuse.

"Just imagine if they had soul research ingredients on here, this would greatly improve your study!"

Ralsei was already climbing the ship using a levitating shield pad the moment she said soul research.

Ever since StarDrop island, Ralsei has been finding more uses and appliances to her soul. She now knew that courage was a greatly defensive soul type.

It could create barriers, indestructible bubbles, shield pads to float around on, and even substitute armor. Especially with the help of Susie, she now had better control over her soul as well.

Throughout the ride, Ralsei wondered to herself...whose ship was this? Did another group of pirates have the same idea they had?

The Jolly Roger of the ship did seem to raise some alarms in her, but as long as there was no one on the ship, they'd be fine.

Ralsei landed next to Hera and they had a good look at the ship. It was well kept and seemed to have remnants of a party that had recently happened.

This further proved her theory that the pirates here had planned their conquest here too, they had a party to celebrate the night before.

"Auntie, I call downstairs!"

Hera took a swan dive through the floorboard of the deck to the 2nd floor.

Ralsei flinched at the fact that she was probably becoming a bad influence to Hera, but if this place had some answers that they were looking for, she'd overlook it this once.

Since Hera had the sub-floor of the ship, she would search the main deck of the ship.

She walked across the floorboards hoping not to step on anything that would soil her feet. She was still boondoggled as to who's pirate ship this was. The flag was all too familiar.

She couldn't help but the pace at the mountain ranges and pyramid again, it was all too alluring, she could envision then having to make the treacherous voyage over the Grand Line's mountain barriers.

She got to what was obviously the captain's quarters and slowly creaked open the door, hoping no one was on the other side.

The room was in a luxurious state compared to the rest of the ship, this person's crew must cherish them like a god. Laying on top of the captain's table, was this crumpled piece of parchment.

This caught Ralsei's eye, she tiptoed towards it and became extra cautious the more she got closer.

Gripping it gently and unwrapping it, she examined it.

"A map of...The Peninsula! We can traverse this place with ease! Now we can...tell the...others..."

Ralsei sighed and facepalmed. If only everyone hadn't split up the moment they arrived on the Peninsula. She had hated how brash her crewmates were sometimes.

According to the map, there seemed to be a form of civilization present on the island. Which is weird, because what was stopping the past pirates from seizing the emeralds here?

There was an etching along the corner of the page.

"Oh, it has a name...in property of...-!"

Ralsei gasped as she jumped back in horror, she quickly stuffed the map into her cloak. She started to look around the room to see if the owner was secretly around.

She was paranoid.

Hera slammed her head through the floor below her.

"AH-!"

Ralsei jumped in freight against the wall behind her with tears in her eyes. Her soul looking like it left her body, she was pale.

"Auntie...! You alright?"

Hera was poking her cheek, trying to see if she was dead.

"Don't ever scare me like that again-!"

Ralsei grabbed Hera and held her close, still paranoid of the captain coming back.

She now knew who the captain of the ship was.

It belongs to one of the seven Warlords of the sea.

"Hera, we have to warn the others quickly, I was able to find a map of the Peninsula."

The goat girl was sparing no time trying to relay the information and plans.

Hera was worried for her 'auntie' more than herself.

"Why are you scared? Who's here?"

Ralsei gulped hard before speaking.

"One of the Seven Warlords of the sea...Mad D. MewMew! Known for her several war crimes and threats to the World Government, but became a Warlord due to the popularity and the number of followers she had under her. Before becoming a Warlord, her bounty was around 380,000,000 dollars!"

This made both of them tense up. Hera was strong, but this women's bounty was 20,000,000 higher than hers. So this Mad D. MewMew woman was slightly more dangerous.

At least, that's how they thought the system was like.

"What makes her a big threat was that she used to be on the crew of W. D. Gaster, the previous King of the Pirates...listen Hera, you're faster than me. Try and find your mom and Muffet, and tell them this information. I'll try and find Susie, I memorized the map already."

Ralsei shoved the map towards Hera and she clutched it. They gave each other knowing eyes, Hera nodded.

The bio-weapon got up and sprinted out of the room, not wanting to disobey her 'auntie'.

"Stay safe Hera! Tell them to meet up back at our ship!"

The goat girl watched as Hera left with that last bit of information.

She knew this Mad D. MewMew woman was fearsome for her bounty to be so high and to be a Warlord. They would need everyone present to take down this threat.

Before she could begin her search for Susie, she saw something glimmering coming from the hole that Hera left.

She decided to check out the rest of this place before going out to get Susie, she only prayed that Susie wouldn't run into MewMew on her way.

.
.

"Justice Form Number Five! Judgement's Mallet!"

Susie launched a furious hammer swing at the ground, splintering the Emerald-colored soil and raising the ground.

Men who tried attacking her were all launched into the sky, falling head first onto the emerald trees, knocking them out instantly.

She had been running in a straight line down the east to the west side of the Peninsula for a full hour. She felt like she hadn't moved an inch from the start of the forest, this land was huge.

The dino girl bent down to one of the still conscious men and showed her teeth to assert fear.

"Who are you working for?!"

She growled at him and the man squirmed.

"I'm not giving away the identity of Captain MewMew-!"

He quickly covered his mouth to cover up his blunder.

Susie laughed at how easy that was, this MewMew woman was allowing anyone to join her group, didn't she?

"Nice. Peace dork."

She got up and walked away. She had stopped her search for Undyne and Muffet and had decided to cut down the middle to the pyramid. She knows that they'd want to go there first after realizing there was nothing around.

Susie too had the same idea Ralsei had, what was stopping past pirates from taking the emeralds from this place if there was no resistance?

She started to make a break for the pyramid's hole, staying vigilant for anything that was out of the ordinary.

She placed her hammer over her shoulder and started to tree hop. Since the trees were sturdy, she didn't have to worry about the force of her steps and leaps.

From an aerial view, she was able to see much more of her surroundings, and to her knowledge, the place indeed had no signs of native life. She assumed so because this place was known for submerging at the depths of the ocean. No one besides Fishman was surviving that.

What caught her gaze, however, was a set of pink and yellow cat ears poking out of one of the leaves of a tree to her upcoming left.

A cat stuck on a tree? I guess I'll get it down. Susie thought.

She took one massive stride to the tree and dove in from above to snatch the cat from the branch.

Once she grabbed a hold of the cat, she could tell that it was an abnormally...huge cat. Very tall. And it had...clothes?

Susie's examination was quickly cut off by a scream and a punch to the top of the head.

Both Susie and the surprised cat landed on the ground.

She was rubbing the top of her head from the unexpected punch.

"Hey! What was that for?!" Susie turned around to see quite an unusual sight.

It was just a body of a cat woman...just the body. Its arms were on the ground and the head of the cat woman was rolling on the ground. The legs and feet were still firm on the ground a foot away from the body.

Susie had almost puked at the sight.

Did she tackle the cat lady so hard she exploded?

The head rolled to her and looked angry.

"Hey you lizard dope! Watch where you're going next time!"

The head spoke clear and coherent English, it was an unusually grimy and raspy feminine voice for the build this cat woman had.

Susie was shocked by this whole debacle, was this the work of a Devil Fruit ability?

The body parts started to levitate and reassemble. The full cat woman was back together.

This cat woman had a light tan skin complexion only on her face. She had long pink hair that flowed into a curve around her waisted and sharply curved bangs that bent sideways along the bridge of her nose.

She wore a princess dress and skirt, like a dapper ballerina outfit. Around her neck was a cat collar with a golden bell on it and also on her pink cat ears with white fur coming from the inside.

Her arms and legs had more dark hot pink arm and leg stockings. The cat woman had white fluffy gloves and ballerina shoes.

The most contrasting part though was her constant angry and unclassy facial expression and her vernacular and voice. Like her soul was in the wrong body.

"Look lady, I meant no harm, I just thought you were a cat stuck on a branch."

Susie tried to justify her recent accidental assault on this strange cat lady.

"Oh? Understandable, I wish you a good day."

The cat lady's face switched to a more innocent and calm one before turning her back to walk away.

Then she stopped and flicked back around.

"Wait- no! How dare you touch me! Thinking I'm just a stray cat! Do you not know who I am?!"

Her face went back to her previous perpetually angry and unamused face.

Susie facepalmed.

Bipolar, I get it now. Susie thought.

"I'm Mad D. MewMew! The most glamorous captain on these seas!"

MewMew gave a little pose and a smug closed eye grin to pass herself as classy and powerful.

Susie wasn't buying it.

"Listen, dude, I'm not looking for a fight, I'm just trying to get to the pyramid to meet up with my friends. We sorta have a time limit here."

The purple dino girl was sparing no time with this woman. She was not in the mood to fight someone right now. Especially with that weird ability of hers.

Speaking of which, she still kept the Devil Fruit that Undyne had given her a couple of weeks ago. It was tucked in her sweater pocket. She was still adamant about not eating it, she hated the thought of relying on things that weren't herself.

However, she couldn't hand it to anyone else, they wouldn't know how to responsibly handle it. So it stood with her this whole time, the only person that knew of it was Undyne and maybe Hera because of her ability to read someone.

"Oh, you are? Sorry to bother you."

MewMew said as she turned around and proceeded to walk the opposite way. Again, she turned around with the same angry and peeved face.

"Like hell, you'll walk away from me! I'll glamorously show you what the power of a Warlord is!"

MewMew got into a stance.

Susie sighed, she had read up on Mad D. MewMew before, and although she was truthfully one of the Warlords...everything else about her brutal history was...

MewMew rushed at her, flying towards her and launching her fist at her. The flying fist unclenched and showed her claws. She was going for a piercing attack.

Susie easily batted the hands away, the hands came back and connect back into her forearms.

All those feats in MewMew descriptions were all lies!

Susie shook her head.

The only thing that made her a Warlord was the number of people that would worship her. If they were to arrest her, the pandemonium it would cause would be devastating to the World Government. Riots and wars in a lot of islands would occur.

However, that was assuming that they would be able to get to her. She always had a possie around her and on the seas that would intercept anyone trying to harm her.

She had a powerful ability, to have people ally and have the urge to protect her no matter who they were. On these seas, the ones with the most connections and faithful allies were the most powerful.

Was that the power of the initial 'D'?

"Look miss, I'm warning you, I don't want to fight you."

Susie brandished her Warhammer for the worst. She also wondered why she wasn't with her subordinates.

"I don't know where you came from missy! But I'll get to that pyramid before you and activate the glamorous secret weapon that glamorously lies within there!"

MewMew gave a raspy laugh with a wicked sharp-toothed smile.

Those words alerted Susie and she gave her a show of her teeth.

"Oh? So you know where 'Gaia' is located? Heh! Looks like I need to beat the information out of you!"

Susie started power marching towards MewMew.

"Oh? You're approaching me~?"

MewMew gave a slightly menacing and flirty voice. If Muffet hadn't already introduced that aspect to her, she would've been freaked out.

Also, was everyone with the initial 'D' adept at the art of conversation and flirtation?

"Heh! I can't kick your ass without getting closer."

Susie decided to play along with MewMew's charade.

In return, the cat lady got into a dramatic pose, slightly slouching her body while positioned her hands to cover her face with open fingers. Seductively and intimidatingly glaring through the open fingers while placing one hand on her hip. Her tail swaying in excitement.

"Shishishi! Then come as close as you'd like~!"

Susie made her strides slightly more flamboyant and showy to match MewMew's pose.

Her prediction was right, she was already subconsciously playing and bonding with this cat lady. Her energy and vibe were contagious just like her captain's.

However, her captain's was more contagious.

"You're nowhere near the capacity of the 'D' holder like this one cowboy spider hat wearer I know!"

Susie made sure not to give away the name or full identity of her captain.

Just then, all of MewMew's hostility ceased. Her face showed remorse and hopefulness.

"F-Frisk? You mean Frisk?"

MewMew said in an almost out-of-character voice. From the softness in her voice, Susie could tell that she seemed to have had some form of connection with the Emperor.

This made Susie drop her guard as well.

"Uh...no. He uh...pawned the hat to my Cap'n. Sorry if that uh, bursted your bubble."

The dino girl felt bad for a change. Like she stomped on someone's dream. Now her will to fight was completely shattered. The same for MewMew, she didn't want to fight either.

The tension thickened by the second they spent acknowledging the awkwardness.

Finally, MewMew spoke up.

"...pfft-! What? I don't wanna remember that traitor anyways! Now uh...prepare for..."

MewMew sighed, her facial expression was going back to perpetually angry but she no longer expressed anger, it was just quiet pain.

"Look, kid. I ran away from my crew to get at least a few minutes of fresh air, they keep smothering me and wanting me and I just can't deal with that pressure. It's not glamorous, it's annoying! Can we just...go separate ways and forget this ever happened?"

Susie was quite surprised at MewMew's proposal, she was expecting her to have to fight her way out of this.

However, it wasn't going to be that easy.

"You see, I already beat the shit out of a lot of your men, so if they see us together like this they'll-"

Before she can finish that sentence, a few men came from the dark depths of the forest, all wearing cat ears that resemble MewMew's.

"Captain MewMew is beating the dino lady for us! Such a bold and amazing Captain!"

The men all started praising MewMew for thinking that she was avenging her fallen crewmates.

Both of them facepalmed.

"You jackasses, I'm not fighting her!"

MewMew yelled at her men.

Her crew started to well up in tears.

"You mean, that the woman is so far beneath you that you won't fight her to be the better person?! That's the captain we love-!"

"ALL HAIL MAD D. MEWMEW!"

The men had somewhat misinterpreted her words and continued praising her.

Susie felt bad for her, she didn't know that she was subjected to this much boot licking on a daily.

Susie went up to her and placed a hand on the cat lady's shoulder. MewMew was only an inch shorter than her, so the hand placement didn't look off.

She gave her a patient smile.

"Look, pretend to hit me and I'll pretend like you sent me flying, and like that, I and you can part ways and we'll have a race to the pyramid, my crew versus yours."

MewMew was happy to see that someone was finally warming up to her and sympathizing. She agreed with her conditions.

Susie closed her eyes to anticipate the punch, MewMew winded back a soft punch. She sent her arm in motion to gently punch her cheek, but then one of her crewmates yelled a little too loud and it startled her.

The suddenly scared flick made the fist fly at way above intended speeds and socked Susie across the cheek. The impact caught Susie off guard and it caused her visible pain. The punch sent her back quite a while.

MewMew felt the instant regret of letting that happen.

"Oh shit, dino girl I'm sorry-"

The Warhammer clipped her cat ears as it went by her head.

There was no room for sorries or negotiations, she was pissed. She recalled her hammer and through her eyes shined yellow.

MewMew gulped.

"How brave! MewMew attacked the girl so fast and ferociously that she is allowing the girl to get the next hit cause she feels bad!"

"That's our captain for ya!

"All hail Mad MewMew!"

Susie smirked at that.

She was filled with...Justice!

"Yeah, they're right. Let me get the next hit!"

Susie brandished her hammer and was already giving MewMew a cold and angry stare.

"Wait wait, I didn't mean to hit you that hard! I was-"

Susie started to charge at her with her hammer raised. MewMew ran away screaming while Susie chased her. The crewmates were confused by shortly followed them afterward.

"I SAID IT WAS AN ACCIDENT- WOAH!"

The hammer was tossed at her lower spine, before it could come in contact MewMew separated her upper and lower half so that the hammer went between the two halves and missed her.

Susie was a little shocked at her reaction time and ability.

MewMew gave her a wicked and sinister grin.

"With the power of my Split-Split Fruit, I can detach and manipulate all my body parts a will. It also prevents me from being able to be killed via any bladed attacks!"

MewMew grabbed her feet and detached them, for some reason, this made her body capable of flying.

"GO CAPTAIN MEWMEW!"

Her crewmates and subordinates cheered in her name.

Susie picked up her pace and ran at full force. However, when the hammer connects with one of the trees, Susie felt the force of the hammer begin slammed along her chest.

She was sent flying backward, away from MewMew.

The cat lady was confused and stopped flying away. She hadn't done that, did she?

MewMew picked up her hammer and was attempting to fly back to her, however, when she grabbed the hammer, it turned into shurikens. This spooked her a little.

Susie got up, clutching her chest.

"Yeah...the thing with the weapon is that it changes to the form of the weapon that most suits the holder...seems yours is ninja stars."

Susie, for some reason, had no malice anymore, just a satirical grin on her face.

"Look kid, I don't want to fight, the hit earlier was an accident I swear. Take your weapon back and we can even split the loot from this island, I don't even want the weapon anymore. I just want the emeralds."

Susie sighed and raised her hand to go retake her weapon. Maybe this woman was telling the truth.

MewMew was pleased, she didn't have to fight this girl for no reason. However, while walking to her to hand her weapon back. She tripped on a rock that she completely missed, and all the shurikens skimmed and cut Susie.

She fell to the ground.

"Agh dammit! Stupid rock!"

The cat lady looked up to see a truly pissed and angered dino girl with cuts all over her body. If there was anything in her mind, it was murder.

Susie had just about enough with her shenanigans. She grabbed one of the shurikens and the others formed on the one she had to turn it back into her Warhammer.

She grabbed MewMew by the collar of her fanciful outfit and slammed her against one of the trees, she held her there.

"Kid! It was an accident! I tripped!"

MewMew was struggling against her insane and massive grip. Her crewmates finally caught up to them.

"Look! Captain MewMew tricked the dino girl twice! That's our captain!"

"HUZZAH CAPTAIN MEWMEW!"

The cat lady sighed and accepted what was coming next. If she could kill her men in mass genocide, she would.

The pressure exerted on the tree made the emerald bark creek, and eventually, a trap door was opened along with the bark of the tree, both Susie and MewMew falling into the tree into a deep dark neverending pit.

.
.

"Kid *pant* please...*pant*... holy shit this kid is insane!"

Undyne and Muffet had been running after this kid for about half an hour straight. They finally gave up on trying to capture him.

The boy used everything to his advantage, the terrain, and his turf awareness to outmaneuver the two women flawlessly.

Muffet spat on the ground with all the collected phlegm and exhaustion that was welled up in her mouth. Her fangs peered out and her eyes displayed a slight bloodlust.

The kid was seen running a bit ahead of them before looking up with fear and despair. Undyne and Muffet raised a brow at his actions.

The boy then forked a left towards one of the thicker emerald trees that they've seen.

Undyne generated a blue spear in her hand and then she chucked it towards the kid, not to kill him, but to pin the kid against the tree with the spear by the clothes.

The kid was able to leap and go through the tree, like a door he hopped through and seemingly fell.

"What the-?! Where did the kid go?"

Muffet was utterly baffled by what just happened.

Undyne was miffed that her spear couldn't get there in time, but she was immediately bothered by something else.

She tugged on her captain's sweater.

"Yes dearie-~"

Muffet looked up in awe as she saw it right before her eyes. The pyramid was a couple of meters in front of them. The kid would have to wait.

There was an alarming amount of stairs before actually reaching the peak of the pyramid, the entrance.

"Well, dearie~ we made it. Should we wait for the others?"

For once, Muffet gave actual rational judgment on the situation, Undyne didn't care, however.

"Nah! They snooze they lose. Plus we get to have first dibs on the treasure here, although we should at least wait for Hera to get here. Since she needs to speak to Gaia."

They both gave each other a patient eye. Five eyes on one eye. They nodded and walked up the stairs to the entrance.

A temple, a pyramid, made out of solid emeralds. They weren't foolish enough to try and forcefully take any emeralds that presented themselves to them, they had Undyne as a reminder of what happens when you do.

The walk to the top was absurdly tedious but the more they reached the pinnacle of the place, the more of the surrounding areas they got to see. They can confirm that there were no villages or towns anywhere.

Then where did that kid belong to?

The two ladies got to the top of the pyramid where there was a giant cave opening that seemed more like a lobby than a cavern.

It was still constructed out of emeralds and it seemed well kept for the fact that no one has been here. Almost like someone was expecting visitors.

"Oi!"

They both made themselves present simultaneously. 'Oi' seemed to be the common new slang around the ship that everyone picks up from Muffet. It was fun to say and it fits almost every occasion as a conversation starter.

A few solid and stone-slapping footsteps were heard. It progressively got louder; the two women stood there just staring at the far end staircase that seemed to lead down into a pitch-black area. They could assume that it went down the mountain into a giant room.

Then after a few more seconds, a being composed entirely out of emerald calmly rose from the staircase.

With the way the being approached the visitors, they could assume that he was the guardian of the Peninsula, the only native so far.

This being seemed to be a male Emerald Golem. His body was entirely crystalline and thick. His body seemed to be wide and bulky, like a regular golem build but slightly more fit and able. He was five meters tall and three wide. His eyes were completely blackened except for thin green dots that were his pupils and source of vision.

The most prominent feature was his smile, his bottom jaw was clipped over his upper jaw, so his smile physically went from cheek to cheek.

He spoke in a creepily deep voice. A type of deep that caused vibrations just by being near him, the ground shaking with each syllable.

"Hello, travelers. What brings you here?"

His goofy smile made them ease up a bit.

"Oi! Green guy, wanna join my crew?!"

Undyne turned to Muffet at his incredulous proposal.

"YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!"

The first mate was ready to bash in her captain's head with 'Bonetrousle' but her actions were stopped by the hearty and wholesome laugh of amusement.

"Gwahahag! You two are a riot! But no sadly, I have this land to look after...Seems you two are pirates?"

The emerald golem sat down on the floor in front of them. His dominating build and personality gave them quite a relaxing time.

Muffet proudly nodded while sitting the same way he was.

"Yes! The Soul Parlour Pirates!"

Undyne went through with hitting her over the head with 'Bonetrousle'.

"You idiot! We shouldn't openly announce that to the native here!"

Undyne's anger was, again, cut off and sizzles by the man's wholesome and hearty laugh.

"Gwahahag! It's quite alright, many a pirate have ventured onto this land before you two have. They've all tried to seize this land of its precious emerald's. However, all have failed before. You two can't possibly do the same, so you don't pose a threat."

He spoke slow and slightly menacingly, must've been his deep voice.

Undyne had a question about that, she remembered when she hit the emerald tree with her trident and she felt the pain of her attack being lashed onto her.

"Um, sir, what's with the trees anyway? I...accidentally attacked one and the effect I would've done to the tree was applied to me...do you know why?"

She was genuinely curious.

"Well, the trees here are magical, it takes the force applied to them and sends it back to retain their purity."

He chuckled.

"Maybe the power of the emerald is too strong for you..."

The way he said that didn't sit well with Undyne. She gritted her teeth and eyed him down. Muffet on the other hand was simply amazed by this man.

"What's your name, green man?"

Muffet rudely said.

"My name is Verde Armstrong, the keeper of this land and the protector. If you two were looking to loot or find anything, then I'm afraid I have bad news for you. But there's simply nothing here for you. I suggest you leave as to not waste your time."

The golem said with a patient smile.

"Another question if you don't mind...we saw a...kid? Running around in ragged clothes spouting something weird. Is he your kid?"

Upon Undyne saying this, she felt an uncomfortable presence envelope her whole. It was concentrated bloodlust but couldn't sense where or why.

The golem gave her a quick sharp glance before looking back at the spider woman in front of him.

"You two are lucky and saw the spirit that roams the trees. It is said to present itself to people to warn them of a...bad omen. It means that you two should leave this land as soon as possible. I wouldn't want you two ladies getting hurt."

The man gave a closed-eyed smile, Muffet got up and dusted herself.

"Huehuehue~ Wait a minute dearie~ What do you mean hurt?"

She gave him all five of her eyes, each glaring at him hard.

"Why would we be hurt if you're the only other person here to possibly harm us?"

Muffet was interrogating the man. A bead of sweat went down his head.

He then pointed to the pirate ship down the Peninsula, coasted on the Westside.

"Maybe it's from the ship over there. I see that's not your ship."

Undyne and Muffet turned around to see a ship that, to their knowledge, wasn't theirs. The slightly panicked.

"Damn, there's another crew here? They're not touching Gaia!"

Verde twitched.

"Wait that's...isn't that a Warlord's crew...? Wait! That's Mad D. MewMew's crew! Dude, she's trouble! I heard that she is the youngest recruited Warlord in history, she must be a legend!"

Verde stood up.

"Well, you two should get a head start while you have the knowledge advantage. Set sail and head off this island. I wish you two the best of luck-"

He tried pushing them away off the temple gently.

"Wait but we still have to release our friend Gaia, would you happen to know where she is?"

Undyne tried to get as much information as she could.

Verde just stood there.

"There is no person named Gaia here, mayhaps you went to the wrong place."

Muffet had a hard time comprehending that.

"Then what's down there?"

Muffet said as she used her middle left hand to point to the staircase where he came from. Verde gave it a short glance before looking back at her.

"That's my sleeping quarters."

Undyne had another question.

"Wait, if that was a spirit, why did it feel the need to leave through a hidden door in one of the trees."

Verde looked surprised at that bit of information.

"It did?"

Undyne felt this weird feeling of anxiety, she thought she had him figured out but he was just as clueless as she was.

"Uh...yeah. The one right there."

She then pointed to the tree closest to the temple entrance in front of the stairs.

"That's useful information, but I assure you ladies, whatever you're looking for, is not here. I've been living here all my life and never once have I heard such a name."

More sounds of footsteps were coming up the stairs, all three of them turned around.

.
.

Ralsei had scrounged the ship in search of something that would help them along their journey. The only things she was able to find were decently good medical supplies and a magical booster shot that was glowing a rainbow liquid.

She felt bad taking these, but if it was from a Warlord as dastardly as Mad D. MewMew, then she felt like Robin Hood.

Before she left, Ralsei found a room dedicated to myths and maps. Seemed like the world lore room. She quickly glossed over them to see if there was anything that Susie would like to read to log onto her memory bank.

The crew had just recently learned and acknowledge the fact that Susie had probably above human level photographic memory. She could read books of any language at least 20 times faster than anyone else and all of it was easily stored in her memory.

She could glance at a book for half a second and recite everything from that page verbatim. However, it was hard to find a book she hadn't read before.

There were books that she knew she had read before, some she wasn't so sure of. Some books interested her personally.

A book about cultivating the five inner strengths. It was a thick and girthy old book. She decided to have it in one of her Courage bubbles to carry it. There was another map of the place but it seemed more...much more different than the surface layout. Maybe there was another Emerald Peninsula?

She pocketed that map for a later purpose. She quickly searched around for more grand pieces of knowledge.

She found another book that was centered around the layout of the entrance of the Grand Line from the East Blue. She pocketed that real quick.

Lastly, before her paranoia got to her, she found a quick book that was all about supernatural diseases that were detailing mainly bloodwork and respiratory diseases. She quickly had a gander at some of the pages and found a particularly weird and cool document of a patient who had exceeded human speeds because of a boost of circulation in his blood. However, the patient quickly died due to a heart attack. The heart couldn't keep up with the boost of blood flow and his heart exploded as a result.

For some reason, her gut told her to keep this book. So she put the book in her cloak pocket and stormed off the ship.

It was around 1:30, time was flying by fast on this island. They had realized that with some island, time was cast differently like in Yetera. One minute to them, was five minutes in actual-world time.

They learned from Hera and Susie that it was because of the frequency in waves each island gives off. Islands with gems like this one, and islands of magic, were the most efficient at distorting time because the frequency was much higher.

Ralsei hopped back onto the shore, along the mountain top, she saw a couple of explosions and dust clouds emitting from there, like a ferocious fight was happening.

She had hoped that wasn't her friends causing that ruckus. Although, she knew that it 100% was. So she hauled off from the shore and took a shortcut through the middle of the forest. She summoned a barrier out of her Courage and rode it like a magic carpet.

Looking over the forest, she saw that there truly was no one in the forest, however, eventually, she saw a few people that happened to be from MewMew's crew. She tried to avoid them, but the glowing orange flying shield caught everyone's eye.

Ralsei prayed that whatever happening on that mountain top wasn't serious.

.
.

"Baka! No way I'm sharing my treasure with you!"

MewMew said while prying away a treasure chest from Frisk.

They were teens at the time, Frisk was around 16 turning 17 and MewMew had just turned 16.

Frisk was still notorious for having his eyes constantly closed but still being able to see everything around him. He had on his cowboy spider hat. He wasn't an Emperor of the Sea at this point. He was just a crewmate, like herself, on the King of Pirate's ship as cabin boys.

They both had been on the ship for two years, only being slightly recognized for their slight strength but they didn't hold a candle to their higher-ups. However, they both were the best troublemakers on the ship.

Frisk gave MewMew a patient smile.

"C'mon sis! We drank that bottle of sake together back on KattelNip Island. You wouldn't deny your older brother of treasure would you?"

Frisk said in a calm and slightly teasing voice.

MewMew slightly blushed, not due to romantic interest, but because she blushed whenever she was angry or flustered with herself. She kept the same facial expressions and voice since she was young.

The catgirl put the treasure chest between both of them. It was night and they were on one of the emergency escape row-boats along the starboard side of the ship. No one was outside except for the two because they had snuck out.

After their recent raid, MewMew had found a secluded chest and she wanted to have it all to herself, she was fairly greedy ever since she was young.

"I'll glamorously split the loot, I guess! Not 'cause I find you worth it or anything...But if there's a golden tiara I call dibs!"

MewMew said while pick locking the chest with her sharp claw.

"I wasn't going to bargain for it anyways, heh!"

Frisk was on the lookout while she opened the chest. If anyone else caught them, they would have to split it with a third party as hush money. They didn't want to have to go through that.

"And...Aha!"

The chest flicked open, both of them crammed their heads inside to eagerly see what was in the chest. Rubbing their faces together and around the walls to find what was their spoil of war.

To their surprise and disappointment, there was no gold in it. Just a map and a bulge under the map.

MewMew crossed her arms and pouted.

"Eww! Reading, blegh! You can take the map!"

Frisk happily took the map, it seemed to be a treasure map. He smiled and hoped to go on an adventure with her to find this treasure. However, what was under the map intrigued him.

"Hey 'MM' check the chest."

He said with a smirk.

MewMew groaned and reluctantly checked the chest.

"If it's not a glamorous ball of yarn then I don't want-"

She quickly closed her mouth as she saw a strange-looking fruit. Which she quickly recognized as a Devil Fruit. She quickly looked up at Frisk with a face of disbelief and hope.

She shoved the box towards him and held out her hand. She looked away from him.

"I'll trade for the map...I know how much it was your dream to have a Devil Fruit ability...you'd said that once you've eaten one, you'd start your crew and sail back to the East Blue for the love of your life..."

MewMew said brashly but also sensitively.

Frisk chuckled and pushed back the chest, he kept his hand there.

"I took the map, therefore you take the other half. We split evenly."

He opened his eyes for a change and gave her a patient smile. She gave him a hard look in the eyes, with even more disbelief than before.

"B-but this is your big break. Your dream is right here. Don't let me hinder your progress because of my greed. We're bond siblings."

Frisk just placed a hand on her shoulder which made her quiet down.

"Look, I know how hard you've been working to sneak stuff for us. Although I've told you not to and you get yelled at by our higher-ups for us. You've always managed to come through and find the treasure for us. Plus, this map is a treasure map...so I was kinda hoping we can go on an adventure, just me and you. No one else."

Frisk looked down at the ground and slowly made his way to her wet and tearful eyes. She covered her mouth with one of her paws.

"Frisk...I-I...I can't. Just eat the fruit, you deserve it. I've been good for nothing and on the ship you've been pulling my slack while I just good around. If anyone deserves it it's you."

MewMew tried to retaliate but she saw the look Frisk gave her. He was Determined.

MewMew...was filled with...Kindness.

Frisk placed the spider cowboy hat on her head.

"Nope, it's all yours. Maybe the treasure on this island is another Devil Fruit? Then we can both have one...and maybe...we can be on the same crew. As Co-captains. Wouldn't that be great sis?"

MewMew hugged him, crying into his shoulder.

"I owe you one bro...one day, I'll repay you by buying you the perfect and strongest Devil Fruit the world has to offer! Even if I have to steal from a million people, I'll do it!"

Frisk hugged back.

"Hey?! What was that outside?!"

One of their higher-ups was heading outside.

MewMew took the fruit and ate it, she quickly spat it out. It tasted nasty.

Frisk kicked the lever of the emergency row-boat and the row-boat fell onto the ocean. From there, the two started rowing to complete the treasure map they had just received.

"I promise you, bro, I'll pay you back! Even if it takes me years! It would be glamorous!"

Both of them laughed as they sailed away from their pirate ship. They would start anew elsewhere.

I'll pay you back! Even if it takes me years...

************************************
"Hey, wake up!"

Susie had snapped MewMew awake. She got up after having that vision of the past and looked around frightened.

MewMew got up and tried to adjust her eyes.

They had landed in a town that was underneath the entire Peninsula, it was grim looking. Grim to the point like everything seemed grey. It smelled of feces and blood while almost made her vomit upon first smell.

"What the shit is this place?!" MewMew said covering her nose.

"I don't know, but what I do know is that we can't leave the same way we came. Looks like you and I are stuck together until we can find an exit."

Susie started walking towards the smelly and grim city. There seemed to be commotion happening in the middle of it. Sounds of incoherent screeching and screaming.

They picked up the pace and finally got to the town. Now the town smelled of burning flesh. MewMew was so close to fainting and vomiting at just the pure stench of the place.

It looked like a third-world country while in an apocalypse. If zombies had shown up they wouldn't have been surprised.

Just as they popped the corner towards the center of the run-down town. There they saw a block-wide bonfire of people shoveling corpses into the fire. Seemingly trying to cook the bodies.

MewMew broke down and sat against the wall panicking.

"Nope! We died in the fall! This is Hell! We are in Hell right now! I knew this day would come!"

Susie smacked her to get her back into her senses.

"Shut up! You'll get their attention."

They looked back at the anorexic morbid-looking people tossing corpses into the fire. However, the next person being subjected to fire was the healthiest person there. It was this kid, a boy. He was kicking and screaming and trying his best not to be engulfed in the flames.

"I did what I could! I refuse to end up like you people!"

The kid's words only made them angrier and made their tugs more aggressive.

Susie looked at MewMew and they gave each other a nod.

"Nail Network!"

MewMew split her claws from her fingers using her Devil Fruit, it soared through the air at impressive speeds and pierced all of the people grabbing onto the kid.

Susie ran through the crowd while MewMew was providing cover fire with her Nail Network move.

She picked up the kid and leaped onto one of the buildings, which she then leaped onto one of the taller buildings.

Susie looked off the edge and saw two giant exits, one leading to an even darker and deeper part of the place and an upstairs path.

The kid was clutching onto her sweater still in fear and shock of the whole thing. She glanced to see how MewMew was doing and saw her getting swarmed by the zombie-like residence of the town and had a decision to make.

She felt her Justice aching for the decision she was about to make, but she forced herself anyways. She gave one glance at MewMew, who was desperate for assistance, before running away and leaving her. She took the kid onto the staircase, away from the town.

She sat the kid down.

"Hey, listen, little buddy, it's alright, you're safe now."

Susie let the kid have his space before he looked around to make sure he was safe.

"H-how did you get down here without going through Verde?"

Susie raised her brow.

"Uh...Verde?"

The kid furiously nodded.

"Yes! Verde Armstrong! He is the overseer of this Peninsula! How did you get past him?!"

Susie scratched the back of her head.

"You see, I and this cat woman fell down a shaft and landed here...What is this place exactly?"

The kid sighed and sat down at the steps.

"You see, Verde Armstrong is a tyrant, he ruled over this land for many millennia, but before that...It was my people who inhabited this land. We were drove underground once he arrived."

Susie could tell by the look on his face that he was telling the truth. She let him continue.

"It was because of the inner powers that he had unlocked within himself that made him so powerful my people couldn't stop him and his golem buddies."

So there are more than one of these things on this Peninsula! Susie thought to herself.

"He spared the rest of my people for the exchange that we help fuel and keep cultivating this weapon hidden at the bottom of this city. We didn't even know it was there but, he wanted the weapon to himself. This weapon was also a fellow golem and he was planning to brainwash the weapon into thinking that this world should be a golem only world."

Susie gritted her teeth with anger, the kid was starting to cry. The cries turned into deep and heavy sobs.

She turned to look at the hole on the other side of the underground town and saw the hole that most likely led to Gaia. She would go there now, but they would need Gaia to hack into her incubation and reprogram her. She was better off the warning and telling the others.

The kid tugged onto her sweater while she looked away.

"I-It's almost complete...It took my people many generations of no eating and no sleep and I didn't want to live that life. They're all monsters!... I made a deal with him, that I would lure people to this underground lair so that they could work here too, and that I could be fed in return. And...a-and I-I led two w-women here today...one Fishman and one spider woman..."

Susie's heart sank when she heard that. Whoever this Verde Armstrong guy was, he was going to get decked. On behalf of all the people who died fueling his selfish dream, and to this poor kid who had to watch his people die and the people he had to betray.

This Peninsula was a fraud. It wasn't made out of Emerald.

It was made out of dead men.

Susie looked around for an exit. She only saw the way that her and MewMew fell through. Besides the stairs. She picked up the kid and placed him on his hammer.

"Look kid, for your information, I'll send you back up there. I cannot guarantee your protection when I do, but I'll try and stall at least the man upstairs. When I do, you run to the closest pirate ship you see and hide there. You got that?" Susie said in a surprisingly motherly voice.

The kid nodded with tears in his eyes and Susie launched him towards the hole. He knew how to get out from there.

Susie then ran up the upward steps in hopes to either find Verde and kick his ass, or find her other crewmates and then find Verde and his subordinates and kill them.

The kid however, was persistent in helping her the most he could, in spite of Verde. So he stuck his head out through the hole.

"Wait, lady! Don't do it! Many of us have tried, but none of us have been able to overpower him."

Susie just looked over her shoulder with her teeth showing.

"Don't worry kid, my crew and I are of a different breed. We all are."

And just like that, she continued up the steps.

The boy just sighed, he knew he couldn't stop her. However, his attention was immediately interrupted by the sight of a cat woman fighting for her life against the townspeople.

Susie ran at full throttle up the stairs and eventually started to see a light. The more she got to the top, the more voices she started to hear. A deep manly voice and...Muffet and Undyne!

She popped the spiral corner of the stairwell to see a cave of emeralds. An emerald golem, Muffet, and Undyne were conversing with each other.

(Muffet/Undyne/Susie's Shared Perspective)

"Hey, guys!"

Verde turned around with a slight peeved and sullen face. He knew that she knew. And she knew that he knew that she knew, so Susie knew she had to say whatever she had to say fast.

Muffet and Undyne were ready to hear what she had to say.

"The downstairs area is a slave ground. The true natives of this land are being enslaved to help nurture Gaia-"

Verde, at tremendous speeds, dashed to her and gave her a good left hook to her snout. Sending her flying against the emerald wall. The impact seeming to cause great physical pain to her.

Muffet and Undyne knew something was weird about Verde. But with the two fightings together, he should be a piece of cake.

Or so they thought.

Verde fixed his posture.

"It seems you girls couldn't leave well enough alone. I told you to leave while you had the chance. Now, that'll be a massacre."

Verde dashed in between both of them at a speed they couldn't catch up and clotheslined them both. It sent Undyne back first onto the ground.

For Muffet, her head stretched back, and with elastic force and the strength of her head, she slammed back onto his chest.

It sent him back quite a bit.

Muffet laughed while Undyne was picking herself back up. Susie was doing the same.

"See dearie~ Your attacks are powerless against me. I'm a rubber person, so physical attacks mean nothing against me!"

Verde looked at her and chuckled.

"Seems I have to use haki on you then. You only made it worse for yourself."

The three women were still confused as to what Haki was. But seeing as how Sans and Papyrus had it, they could assume that it was only for professionals.

So they knew this guy was pretty strong.

His arms turned a darker shade of green and more glossy than crystalline.

Muffet lunged at him and so did Susie from his side.

Verde closed his eyes and smirked.

"Three punches coming from left and right followed by a sweep kick. And a horizontal slash coming for the neck."

And as predicted he dodged Muffet's six punches that came from his right and left, then he quickly dodged the hammer swing that was coming for his neck.

Both the women were in shock as he somehow guessed their attacks. He opened his eyes and grabbed both of their heads and slammed them together.

Muffet felt the full blunt force of that attack.

Why can he harm me?! I'm rubber! Muffet thought.

Verde then sent a barrage of punches their way. They all connect and sent them flying across the cave. Each punch had the force of being slammed by a 100mph speeding rocket. A forceful burst of wind after each punch was thrown.

Muffet felt all those punches despite being rubber and so did Susie.

Undyne sprinted towards Verde with two bidents in her hands. She jumped and tossed them diagonally downward at him while taking out 'Bonetrousle'.

Verde cockily dodged both the bidents and it exploded on the wall behind him. Somehow, the blast and pain from those two bidents were inflicted on her body and she was sent back quite a bit. Fumbling on the ground and almost off down the stairs.

Verde cackled to himself.

"Amateur pirates. Let me guess, you're the captain."

Verde Armstrong pointed at Muffet who was seemingly fired up and bleeding down her head.

Susie was trying to pick herself up, but Verde wasn't messing around. Each punch was him going at 100% from the start. Whatever he has been working hard for, he's trying hard to keep it.

"You bet I am! I'm going to be Queen of the Pirates!"

Muffet roared trying to pump more adrenaline into her veins. Her Perseverance was being displayed on her fist.

Verde laughed hysterically.

"Please, you can't even dream about being the Queen of the Pirates if you can't beat me. And what good is a Captain with several broken arms! Gwahahag!"

Verde launched himself at Muffet.

"Justice Form Number One: Interstellar Karma!"

Susie used up the last of her Justice to cast on Muffet so that she'd stand a better chance against Verde.

They punched each other's fists. Muffet had to use three hands-on each fist. She gritted her teeth as her arms were still not completely healed from her comet attack back in Yetera.

However, she was not ready to lose, not ever again.

"Now what are you going to do, Spider-Woman?"

Verde said that remark condescendingly.

Muffet took one deep breath.

"Gum Gum! Spider Railgun!"

She elastically flailed her arms back and forth, eventually picking up more momentum and increasing more force, the force was being multiplied by each punch due to her Perseverance ability.

It seemed and felt as if she was hitting someone with 100 fists a second. In response, Verde copied her movements, with his shocking speed, he made the same fist illusion too. Both of them were continuously clashing fists.

Undyne unleashed a good portion of her small pool of Determination to summon two explosive bidents. She tossed it at Verde to who just ignored it and let her hit him.

The blast ended up knocking him away quite a deal. It didn't deal much visible damage, if not at all.

"You two girls pack a punch, if I didn't coat myself in Haki, then that attack would've been troublesome. But I do believe it's time to end this little farce."

Susie picked herself up and begrudgingly picked up her war hammer. This guy was leagues above the Chaos King.

"What is this Haki you keep mentioning?!"

Susie hollered out in both anger and genuine confusion.

Verde chuckled.

"Why would I tell a deadman?"

His arms turned into the same glossy and darker green and he attempted to charge the three heroines. They kept their guard up, Muffet still using Susie's Justice on her. Undyne still having to linger but finite amount of Determination left.

He specifically went for Muffet first, she guarded with all six of her arms, but when the impact was made; the bones in her forearms brittle and some broke out of place.

Muffet let out a shrill scream that scares both her crewmates. That little second of shock gave Verde the opportunity and backhanded fist Susie.

However, Susie's Justice activated and she instantly blocked the attack.

"Sneak attacks don't work!"

She countered the force of the punch back at him. He seemingly tanked the attack and smiled at her.

"Weak will don't either!"

Undyne jumped up behind him and charged up Bonetrousle with a grand amount of Determination. She was attempting to slam on his back with it and pierce him.

When Bonetrousle connected with the back, the bone trident splintered, he turned around a backhanded the rest of the bone trident and smiled.

"Weak attacks don't work either!"

He charged up a hefty punch and delivered a sharp and precise heavy punch to her stomach. This attack winded her and dazed her. She flew like a missile against the emerald wall of the room.

Susie attempted to slam the emerald being's head with her crimson Warhammer but he smugly backed up as if he saw it coming and swept her legs.

He grabbed her by her open leg and flung her over to Undyne and they made a heavy thunk as both their skulls bashed together as they hit the hardened wall.

Verde laughed.

"This is the will of the future Queen of the Pirates and her crew? Pathetic-"

Verde was rubbing in his victory before Muffet interrupted him.

"SPIDER GONG!"

Her head smashed against his, which caught him off guard. For once, it made visible damage, but it was only slight. He looked angry but slowly gained his confidence back as he saw that Muffet's arms had gone limp. He had broken all the bones in her arms with his initial strike.

"A spider with only two limbs? Gwahahag! What a disgraceful sight! Let me purge you of this existence you so claim to be worth living!"

He blitzed the poor spider woman and barraged her with punches that were all dealing true physical damage to her. Poor Muffet couldn't handle all of these blows.

Undyne and Susie tried to get up to save her captain but, they were immediately cut off by Verde who foresaw them attempting to intervene.

He gave them both the same treatment before tossing them into a pile on top of Muffet. They were all a bleeding and bloody mess.

He started to cackle to himself.

"You ladies rely too much on your souls to do the work for you. You need time to work on yourself and to reach your potential before you can even think about enhancements. You're just a bunch of kids who had a taste of adulthood and claim that it's everything you need for life. Well, let me tell you right now that beyond me is the Grand Line, monsters, and beast beyond comprehension would destroy you and your dreams faster than I could. If you ladies think with your subpar strength and talents that you had a chance against me, then you're mistaken."

He picked up Muffet by the head, arms limp, half her eyes blocked with blood, the other half staring at him. Her body and arms looked bruised and beaten beyond comprehension but still had the fighting spirit.

He raised a fist to her face while slowly crushing her skull.

Undyne and Susie were to hurt to move in time to stop anything he was planning on doing.

"Still have the will to keep fighting?! Gwahahag! You may have the willpower of a captain, but you lack the strength to even call yourself one. Truth is, if you can't beat me, then you can't call yourselves pirates worthy of the title. Many men have come to my land just for me to crush their dreams to fuel mine! And I will do the same to you!"

Muffet tried squirming, but that only made her feel more pain around her head and torso. Her whole body was aching and screaming and throbbing copious amounts of bone agony. But the pain she felt the most of...was her pirate pride.

Verde took her hat.

The three heroines went silent, he took her hat. If there was one thing you don't do to Muffet besides harm innocent children, it's taking her hat.

"You don't even deserve to wear this hat! And since I know you're too weak to fight back, it'll stay with someone capable enough to accomplish their dreams."

They knew he was pushing all Muffet's buttons, but she didn't do anything. Not one thing.

Verde frowned.

"No fight from you...? Pity."

He sent another barrage of punches towards Muffet each leaving a fist imprint on the other side of her body. She was getting riddled with punches that seem to almost crack the sound barrier. The last punch sent her flying towards the other two which knocked all three of them unconscious. Their ragdolled bodies were about to be victims of a flight of stairs before they were caught by something.

Before Undyne's vision could fade, she saw Hera lift them down gently...

.
.

"*pant* *pant* I think I got away from those losers!"

Mad D. MewMew had successfully eliminated all of the workers down in the apocalyptic city all by herself. She was covered in the blood of different colors and her clothes were dirty. She was worn and tired.

"...What am I doing...why did things have to be like this...this isn't...glamorous!"

MewMew looked at her bloodied hands and solemnly clutched them. She gritted her teeth.

"Frisk..."

She was sitting on the staircase that was leading down deeper into the catacombs.

"Agh! Forget that guy, I don't need him. I got me, myself, and I!"

She got up and stumbled a bit, she was a bit more roughed up than she thought. She grabbed her left arm with her right and descended the stairs, hoping there would be an exit on the opposite end. She had vaguely heard the fight upstairs and wanted to part of it.

Down the staircase, she heard the footsteps and sounds of people coming up. MewMew panicked as she didn't want to get involved in another fight she could avoid. She was weak in the grand scale of things and she knew that.

She split her body to detach herself from her feet and used her floating hands to grab her feet. Allowing her to fly towards the top of the staircase hallway.

The thing with her Devil Fruit ability was that she can only detach and move her body parts only five meters from where she's standing. So if she can grab her feet and project her arms upward, she had the potential to fly.

Her pink cat fur was getting damp from the sweat.

Below her, she saw three emerald golems of varying shapes walk up talking to each other. She could safely assume that those three were the main guy's underlings. One was a little girl, the other was a thin tall man, the other was a well-curved short woman. They came up the stairs proudly and talking about almost having the preparations done.

From the height that MewMew was at, she couldn't hear out their full conversation, but she did hear them say something about needing the people of the town to help fuel Gaia one more time to get her to 100%.

However, when they came up the stairs, they only saw that their workers had all died to someone.

MewMew felt proud that she had accidentally foiled their plans and stalled time for them to get off this island.

"Damn, do you think that lady from that pirate crew did this? The purple raptor one?"

The lady ushered in her complaints.

"She most likely did, we'll tell the boss to execute them instead of working down here, we can have the fodder pirates from that cat lady's crew to fuel Gaia."

The tall man said.

MewMew heard all that and for some reason. She couldn't let that slide. She had to do something.

At the corner of her eye, she saw the kid that was about to toss into the bonfire, the boy was attempting to bash them in the back of the heads with a pipe.

MewMew knew that if one golem did that to the three of them, then this poor boy will get slaughtered.

"Shishishi~! I- the cat lady Mad D. MewMew, one of the Seven Warlords of the sea, glamorously stopped your plans! Losers!"

MewMew gave a wink to the kid and flew off down the stairs in a rush. She didn't see much afterward, but she knew that the three golems were running down the stairs after her. And they were gaining.

She feared for her life, but she knew that she had no choice. Today. Unlike most other days. Ever since...that day...she was filled with Kindness.

Before she could run of stamina and get caught by the golems. She saw a lab at the bottom of the staircase that had a giant woman inside it. She had to be no shorter than 10 feet tall. She has various tubes and insulations attached to her and seemed to be another golem-like the other ones, but one naturally made out of stones.

This is the thing everyone is after? I thought it was like a gun?! MewMew thought to herself.

"Come here cat brat!"

The golems were gaining on her. She couldn't get much farther, she was out of steam and momentum.

Before the golems could get to her she reached underneath her dress and pulled out a tiny ball.

"I didn't want to have to use this, but- behold! The MewMew Ball-"

Before she could get to use it, and man dove in front of her and gave all three golems and swipe kick. It knocked them back a couple of meters.

The little girl caught herself and looked at the mystery man.

"How did you escape!"

MewMew stopped flying and let herself down to catch her breath. She got to get a good look at the man.

He had a plague white doctor with light blue lenses. He had a dapper black and gold suit on that seemingly hand compartments on the cufflinks and buttons on his suit. He had pants with a gold art deco design and sharp gloves. He wore a nice black beanie on his head that he is dark purple hair.

MewMew got up.

"You asshole! It was my glamorous moment you took! Do you know who I am?"

MewMew puffed her cheeks and tapped her foot impatiently.

The man gave her a slow turn and stare. He then started to laugh.

"Fiesty ain'tcha? My type!"

MewMew hit him over the head.

"Perv!"

The tall golem man lunged at MewMew yet again. The man in the plague doctor mask gave him another sweep kick to the lower jaw. It sent the man back again.

The plague doctor man slowly made ice creep up his legs which honestly startled her. He then grabbed MewMew by the hand and started skating along the walls and around the golems.

"Woah! Where are we going?!"

MewMew had no choice but to let him forcefully guide her out of here, she was too weak to resist.

"We are going to the surface silly- whoa you did all this by yourself!"

They slide up the stairs in a giant arch, flying in momentum over the town of corpses.

MewMew sighed.

"They did it to themselves..."

The man nodded and landed in front of the upstairs staircase. She pulled on him hard.

"No no! Not up there, something not glamorous awaits us up there, there's a shortcut directly above us."

She yanked his hair back to make him look up at the vague but slightly visible black hole in the roof of the underground. The hole she and Susie fell through earlier. The man grunted and nodded.

"How are we suppose to get up there though?"

He knew that his ice would only get them so far up the walls before they'd plummet back down.

MewMew gave him her feet.

"Hold these!"

Behind them, the three golems were sprinting at them. The man spared no time grabbing her feet. She quickly grabbed the plague doctor man and lifted both of them off the ground and into the upper reaches of the room.

Once the golems go to them, they couldn't reach them vertically. MewMew looked down to see if they would attempt something to catch them, they didn't and she was relieved.

However, before they can enter the hole, she saw a beefy golem, which she could assume to be the head honcho of the whole Peninsula. But most importantly, she saw that he was wearing the same spider cowboy hat. She eyed it as he tossed it into a secret room to the tall golem man. Then he tossed a little girl, the blonde little girl with blue clothes at the short woman golem.

That was all she saw before going through the roof. After a few uncomfortable twists and turns. She escaped through one of the tree trap doors and flopped both of them on the ground.

She took several deep breaths as the grass shuffled with her breathes. She fumbled around in her exhaustion wishing for something to tell her that this was a dream. She then puked on the ground, the smell of those bodies finally caught with her.

She felt the presence of the man hovering over her.

"Thank you, ma'am, I see you're no longer capable of traveling on your own. I'll bring you back to the ship closest to here, you seem to have caught quite a fever being down there for so long. Which is why it's always good to have a plague mask!"

If she could hit him she would, but he was right.

She sniffled.

"What's...your name?"

The man carried her bridal style, mostly because he knew that if he carried her any other way, that she'd hit him again.

"Nidus! Nidus Domes! Nice to meet ya! As thanks for saving me, I'll save you too!"

Those words resonated with her. She slowly knocked out in his arms as he ran through the forest.

.
.

"Frisk! I think this is the spot!"

MewMew and Frisk stopped walking along the shore to the 'X' mark that they believe signaled where they were standing at.

She used her Split-Split fruit to good use and used her hands as very efficient and quick shovels.

They had set sail on the worse conditions they've ever been on. They had to hold in their bowel movements for a week and a half straight. They quickly ran out of food and water. The summer heat didn't help either.

Along the way, they had nothing but each other as refreshments. They even had to...do other things to occupy themselves to not go crazy along their tediously long rowboat ride to this treasure map location.

They took the bold decision to set sail on this secretly and by themselves to find their independence. Along the rowboat trip, they had seen and done many things that would scar them for life. Their clothes and hair were a mess.

MewMew's paws finally hit a treasure chest and she hastily pulled it out. They both had a crazed laughing fit.

"Finally Frisk! We found it! After weeks- we can finally have our..."

She opened the chest.

It was empty.

It...Empty.

It. Was. Empty.

MewMew's body felt cold, cold to the bone, so cold she could've fainted and died in that spot.

Frisk just stared into the chest and it remains. It was quiet.

MewMew couldn't move, couldn't breathe. She could only cry quiet sobs. Frisk just continued staring into the chest, this time, with his eyes opened.

She covered her mouth and began to sob louder and louder.

This was it.

They hinged a life of comfort for this. Nothing. Everything was riding on the contents of the chest.

It was over.

They'd die together on this island. Two greedy bond siblings.

"...Frisk...we had a good run right?"

MewMew finally smiled, her pupils fading out. Her only strength to continue living was her will to find the treasure, now that it was shattered, she slowly started to fade out.

She had not drunk, ate, slept only minutes at a time, and over-exhausted herself. It was about time to let it all go.

Frisk gripped the chest hard.

"Don't talk like that...don't talk like you're going to die on me!"

MewMew laid her paw on his lap.

"We had a swell time together bro...I guess I should say bro loosely seeing as how our situations on that boat seemed...stronger than that."

Frisk's eyes were flickering something she couldn't see. Her vision was blurry with exhaustion and heatstroke.

"Don't say that! We'll find another way out! Don't you worry sis!"

Frisk picked her up by the arms and started to drag her across the shore.

"I'll save you, sis! I'll save you. Someone help us! SOMEONE! ANYONE!"

They were too far on the shore for any of the locals to help. They were leagues away from any civilization on the island.

Frisk called for help...

But nobody came...

Frisk watched as his partner's eyes closed and he started sobbing. In one last cry, he pleaded.

"DON'T LET HER DIE ON ME!"

Something snapped. That roar and will to not let MewMew die echoed throughout the island, a wave of invisible destruction swept the land, his eyes flickering furiously between purple and red. Trees were derooted, the area they were in solidified, and he collapsed.

Both of them laid there...waiting to die.

MewMew woke up and looked around. She had a light gauze around her head and arms. She seems to be light-headed and felt a bit cold from the fever. Besides that, she felt a bit able.

(Omni-Perspective)

She looked to her right and saw a Ralsei and the plague doctor guy conversing.

Susie was awake and she remembered her. Susie looked away from her in shame.

Susie had gauze around her arms and chest. Her head was in gauze too but it seemed to be slightly tearing off.

She saw a fish woman which she could assume was Morial's Daughter. She knew Morial back when she was alive. They were previously on a ship that she used to visit and would converse to W.D. Gaster about. She would have to greet herself to this fish woman too.

The fishwoman looked defeated, she was looking at her broken bone trident in shame. She looked pretty beat up too, gauze around the same areas that Susie was. The eye patch was something new to her.

Lastly, she saw a spider girl. She was upright with an emptied booster shot lodged in her arm. She looks drained of all spirit with suppressed bloodlust and rage. Whatever she had been told or been through, must've broken her on more than one occasion.

This room was grim and devoid of life.

Ralsei noticed MewMew awake and rushed to her. She then knelt to her.

"I'm so sorry Ms. Mew, but I may have needed to steal your equipment for the restoration of my crew..."

MewMew patted her on the head. For some reason, these people reminded her of people, people she hated previously or wanted to be. Their energy and spirit were contagious. Normally she'd be furious, but instead of wanting to take...she felt like she needed to give. Just this once.

"It's whatever, to repay me. I may need a rundown of what the shit is happening right now."

Ralsei sighed. Everyone else looked down in shame in themselves. Nidus just leaned against the wall and looked away.

MewMew started to realize more.

"Wait! Where's my crew?!"

Ralsei sighed again.

"I'll get to that...you see...it's night. It's Midnight, thanks to your magical booster shot and medical supplies I was able to heal all of you before dawn...Your crew...was captured by the golem people of the island..."

MewMew felt a burning hatred in her heart but suppressed it. She knew that lashing out right now wouldn't be glamorous of her.

"Our crew came here with Hera, the number four ancient weapon. We had programmed her to not want to kill and wanted to lead her to Gaia so that she could spread the word amongst all the other ancient weapons. So they don't have to go on genocides around the world...but in our recent fight and encounter, we got beat badly by Verde Armstrong. Which we learned from Susie, kidnaps pirates and forces their bodies and labor to help speed up the incubation period of Gaia...your crew may be being sacrificed as we speak.

Ralsei rested a hand on her shoulder to help her cope. MewMew was seething with rage, so much rage that she couldn't change facial expressions or else it would show.

The black goat woman then gestured her hand to her crewmates.

"Fuhu, our pet was the one that alerted us about your men in time, so maybe we can go get your crew. But as for us...in a last-ditch effort to save us, Hera sacrificed herself to be reprogrammed again so that we didn't die. We...are angered at our embarrassing loss. We only have seven hours to get Hera, save your crew, and free Gaia and reprogram her before dawn..."

MewMew sighed, she looked around the ship again and saw everyone depressed.

She gazed at Nidus in the corner.

"And what's the deal with that guy?"

She was generally curious.

Nidus stopped leaning against the wall and addressed himself.

"I'm Nidus Domes! An enthusiast's in women and food! I was here on the Peninsula a day before you guys got here and got captured by the golems in a sneak attack. I came here to see the beautiful woman that was Gaia and cook her something. Something I didn't know was that she was not only a weapon but underaged. However, they didn't know I had Devil Fruit abilities, so I could've left at any time. I was just waiting for the perfect opportunity, so I was just waiting for a signal, that's when you came and not only killed all resistance but distracted the guards. So miss, I'm eternally indebted to you!"

Nidus knelt before her too.

Muffet got up and walked away. Her arms looking fully healed and her bones are fully restored and healthy again.

Undyne ran up after her.

Susie just stood in the corner of the room and sulked.

"We had to use your booster shot to restore my captain's six arms, it was a miracle. Not only did it heal her arms, but made the bones in her arms virtually indestructible. I may have taken a few books too if you don't mind."

Ralsei was hoping it was okay with her.

MewMew got up and stretched. She saw that her clothes were changed into pink pajamas. She was too stressed to care.

Muffet was sitting on top of the figurehead in anger.

"You can't keep blaming yourself 'M'! It wasn't your fault-"

Undyne tried to snap Muffet out of her rage.

"IT WAS MY FAULT UNDYNE! I'm not a strong enough captain to keep my crew safe! Every island! Every fight! I've had fallen and had to let you guys assist me! I'm not fit to be captain! I let Hera go!"

Undyne froze.

"You can't tell me that I'm wrong dearie~!"

Muffet slammed her hand against the railing and it splintered the railing and dipped the ship slightly underwater for a few seconds.

"It is fucking pathetic! You saw me, I never stood a chance! We aren't ready for the Grand Line because of a shitty captain like me!"

Muffet stood up on the figurehead, steam coming off her body in a literal sense. Her skin becoming a lighter shade of purple for a second. Her teeth gritted and her eyes becoming purple.

"I swear to god! I'll break his body along with the Grand Line to prove him wrong! I'll do it with my fucking legs out of spite to make sure he knows I don't need hands to beat him. I'll fucking break his body in half if I have to, Hera didn't need to be taken if I had-"

Undyne hugged her from behind, slowly. Muffet's breaths calmed down and slowly because of just regular breaths. Her body stopped spazzing out and she became relaxed.

"Undyne...I don't want to be a weak captain...I want to be a captain who is capable of making their friends safe and seek out each other's dreams. I need to be stronger, not just for me...but for everyone."

Undyne hugged tighter.

"I know you are, and you already are."

Muffet sighed.

"How are am I going to beat him Undyne...my best isn't strong enough...there's nothing I can do..."

Muffet slouched her body in defeat.

"Maybe these will help."

Both the ladies turned around to see the others. Ralsei was holding up two books. One about cultivating the five powers which caught their eye.

"According to MewMew, this book is important and the key to gaining a higher power. If we can somehow manage to take its teachings, then we have a shot against Verde."

They all gathered around the book.

MewMew gave everyone a synopsis.

"Look, the inner strengths are nicknamed 'Haki', I don't have any myself, but, I can at least relay it onto you. First, there's Armament Haki, this haki allows you to coat your arm or any body part into a hardened shell. Once mastered you can be able to give yourself that coating of Armament Haki indefinitely. It makes you capable of touching those with an intangible body...like Nidus."

Nidus waved and stood up.

"I have the Chill-Chill Fruit! I'm an Ice Logia! I can manipulate and become Ice. Once you can touch me, then it's a testament of you mastering that Haki."

Everyone was taking notes of this information...except for Muffet. She was cramming the other book that Ralsei had. Most importantly, the article about the man who accelerated his blood flow and was extremely fast and had fast reflexes for a short few seconds before his heart exploded.

Muffet zoned out everything else but that page. She was, for once, acknowledging what she was reading.

"Armament Haki can be upgraded and stronger through the more battles you have with it. Next, we have Observation Haki, simple stuff, allows you to predict your opponent's movements and sense people and their souls. Then there's Bound Haki, which allows you to make a contract with yourself, the more dire and costing the contracts the stronger your will and body will be to obtain it. However! Don't do that now! Once you make a deal you can't change it, even if you complete it. Wait until you're sure of what deal you'd make."

Undyne, Susie, and Muffet remembered those kinds of Haki's being used against them in their fight with Verde.

Everyone took note of that information, except Muffet who was still reading that article. She was intrigued.

"Then there's Endeavor Haki, it allows the user to coat an object in a green substance, that when the enemy hits, the enemy feels the pain of the attack they just dished."

Undyne and Susie experience that before when hitting the trees...wait.

"Wait, the surface of this island... it is all made out of Endeavor Haki isn't it."

MewMew sighed.

"Yeah, but the mountains and some of the trees are actual Emeralds, but most of it is Endeavor Haki."

Everyone groaned at that thought. They were quite surprised at how useful and compliant she was being with their crew.

"Finally...there's Conquerors Haki...its so rare and unattainable. You have to be born with it and unlock it through a breakthrough or traumatic experience. Only natural-born leaders have this kind of Haki. It's only as strong as the person's will."

Frisk had a pretty strong one...

"It creates a shockwave that makes anyone that is not as strong-willed as you, unconscious. At higher intensities, it can even damage objects and terrain upon usage."

Everyone kept that in memory. They were wondering if they were born with it and never had it.

Just then, Muffet figured it out. The way to beat Verde!

"YES! THIS CAN WORK!"

Everyone turned around to Muffet who quickly returned the book to Ralsei and bowed down in front of her crew.

"Everyone! I'm sorry but I can't win this fight with Haki, but-! I have found a way to beat Verde, and I request as your captain that you don't interfere! I want our fight to be a one versus one. I want to show you that I am a captain capable of getting us to the Grand Line! I promise you all! I WON'T EVER DROP AGAIN!"

Her crewmates gave her patient smiles. Normally they'd argue with her and question her, but when she was like this, she was dead serious. They trusted their captain.

"Once I get my crew...I'm leaving the rest to you guys to fight the golem guys."

MewMew said solemnly.

Nidus looks at her strangely.

"Aren't you a Warlord? You're our current source of firepower right now. Why are-!"

"IM SO FUCKING TIRED OF HEARING THAT!"

Everyone jumped at her sudden snap. She sighed.

"Look, can I have a captain on captain talk...please...?"

Everyone looked at Muffet and she nodded. The women, being loyal to their captain, walked inside the dining room. They would try and find a way to cultivate Armament Haki at least before they would gear up and raid the Peninsula for the final time.

Both pirate captains stood there under the moon's glare, looking at each other.

"You're Frisk's disciple, aren't you?"

Muffet nodded.

"You're his bond sister, right? He told me because I was trying to attempt to do the same thing, with my two older brothers. Nice to meet you, really dearie~."

Muffet and MewMew rested their arms on the railing of the ship and looked off into the distance.

"Yeah, keep in mind, you being important to Frisk is the only reason I'm helping you...and is the reason I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you."

Muffet smiled.

"Seems fair, go ahead dearie~"

God, she even says it like him...

"Look, me and Frisk had been through a lot, and seeing as how you lost that hat makes me want to claw you from the inside out..."

Muffet nodded in agreement with her words. She honestly wanted to do the same to herself too.

"But at the same time...I want to help see you succeed. So, tell me...what do you want me to do. I may be a Warlord but I don't fit the title. I'm one of the weakest in the sea and I don't have training with my soul ability, I don't know martial arts, I don't work out, I don't have magic, my Devil Fruit ability frankly sucks, and I don't have Haki...I'm just a person who sucks at gaining people she doesn't like but fight for her anyways..."

MewMew looked away from her to hide her tears.

Muffet placed her top right hand on her shoulder.

"Listen, dearie~ I'm convinced you're not the Mew Frisk was talking about."

MewMew looked at her confused.

"You're just a sweetheart hiding her emotions with self-pity. Give yourself some credit, we both seem to be pretty shit captains at keeping their crew safe. But this is what this second battle is for, redemption. The fact that you've gone through all that and ended up here with us, means that you're pretty strong."

MewMew bonked Muffet over the head and turned away.

"Can you just shut up! You're sickening me with how much you sound like him...I missed it."

Muffet laughed and wrapped her arm around her shoulder.

"We'll get off this island and we'll get what we want, together. The MewMew and Soul Parlour Pirate Alliance?"

MewMew gave her a teary and hopeful eye. They shook hands.

Frisk...I hope to repay my debt in full, through your underling. I'll look after her and make sure she is safe... MewMew thought to herself.

She wiped away her tears.

"Now...as part of the alliance, I want to know how exactly you plan to beat that monster by yourself. I heard that you three got beat up there really a fast and low effort on his end."

Muffet chuckled and crouched. Her hands clenched into a fist and pressed onto the ground. She got into a running position with her legs.

"Imma bump up my fighting to second gear!"

...Pump Pump...

MewMew watched in awe as she witnessed Muffet do the impossible with her body. She didn't know what that did for her, but her body radiated a new kind of energy.

The cat lady nodded.

"That's the kind of firepower worth a Warlord's attention!"

MewMew turned around and opened the doors to the Dining Room seeing everyone smiling and waiting for the word.

"Alright everyone, we can only train Armament Haki for a limited amount of the time. The other forms of Haki take too long, at least with Armament it's fast and simple. Besides that, gear up for the war to come. We only have a few hours to complete our goal and I'd be damned if we leave without kicking that guy's ass! Shishishi~"

Muffet turned back to normal and walked into the room.

"Undyne dearie~! I have a plan I want to talk out with you...I have a promise to keep to myself, huehuehue~"

Everyone laughed and cheered at how similar the two captains were.

The Will of 'D' was Infectious.

.
.

Total countdown...four hours until submergence.

They all trained themselves for four hours. It was still night but they had four hours till dawn. Once that happened, they had to run back to the ship.

They all stood on top of the railing side by side. They all chose to wear matching black clothing similar to what Nidus was wearing. Nidus was a weird miscellaneous character that wanted to fight with them, but the more the merrier.

They all had dapper black outfits one, they were as ready as they'll ever be for this comeback.

The only people capable of learning basic Armament Haki were Undyne and Ralsei. The goat woman prided herself by taking the Yo-Yo with her, the one they got from Monzierre.

Undyne had Bonetrousle repaired and coated in Armament Haki. She could only focus it on Bonetrousle, so if she wanted to cast it onto her fist, she'd have to stop coating it on her trident. However, she was mainly planning on fighting with the trident.

Everyone else just trained their regular strength. Muffet especially.

Fuhu was sleeping on the deck of the ship. It had turned out that a few men on MewMew's crew were trying to raid this ship and Fuhu was injured defending the ship. So Fuhu got a well-deserved nap.

Ralsei turned to her other colleagues and smiled.

"Everyone knows the plan?"

Everyone nodded.

MewMew and Undyne have each other a fist bump.

"Alright Undyne, start us off!"

Undyne created an explosive bident and tossed it at the lair that belongs to Verde. The explosion went off and that was the signal for everyone but Muffet and MewMew to scatter.

Verde walked out of the peak of the pyramid with a face of appeasement. He snapped his fingers and his three subordinates emerged from the pyramid and went off into the forest to cut off the others.

The plan, was for Muffet to handle the main boss while MewMew went past Verde and descended the staircase to get Hera and extract her and Gaia.

Ralsei and Susie would handle the little girl, once they were done with that, they would assist the other team. Nidus and Undyne were in charge of taking down both the lady and man. Both those team's job was to buy MewMew some time while she handled the Ancient Weapons.

The others had left, leaving the limelight for them two.

MewMew detached her feet and grabbed onto them, allowing herself to fly in a diagonal towards the pyramid. Muffet waited a good minute before stretching her arms out to MewMew, she slingshotted herself off of MewMew while still holding onto her.

While still in motion with the elastic force she had, she tossed MewMew at Verde while simultaneously stretching her arms at the entrance of the cave.

MewMew was laughing as she was cannonballing towards him. He went for a thunderous punch but she separated her body into small chunks to dodge it and went around him. After she did she connected her body back together and ran for the staircase leading down.

"Your fight is with her!"

Verde Armstrong turned around towards where he saw Muffet last and saw a fist coming right for him. It connects and sent him back a couple of feet before he regained his balance.

Muffet landed in front of him looking pissed and eager. Whatever struggles she would go through this fight, she was willing to Persevere.

However, the tall man golem ran past both of them and down the stairs after MewMew. Muffet gritted her teeth at the fact that MewMew couldn't handle an enemy of that caliber and hoped for her safety.

Verde came at her while she was distracted.

"Eyes on me, woman!"

Surprisingly she caught up to his fist. They slammed their punches together. She had to use three of her hands to block one fist.

"I'm not letting you stop me and my friends from passing through! I'm not the same girl you fought yesterday!"

Verde grew a smirk at her fighting spirit.

He sent another fist covered in Armament Haki, she did the same with the other fist. Both their fighting spirits were high and ready to be exerted.

Muffet backflipped away from him, she ended on a handstand and proceeded to stretch her legs behind her and then launched her feet at the man.

"Gum Gum! Spider Javelin!"

Verde easily grabbed her legs and yanked her towards him.

"Gum Gum! Spider Rocket!"

Muffet stretched back her arms for her infamous move and connected on his forearms that he used to block the attack. The force of her attack sent him flying back a couple of meters.

Verde laughed.

"Very good! Now, will your arms break on me like last time?!"

He got into a stance to sure that he'd take the fight seriously now.

Muffet did her trademark polite giggle.

"Oh dearie~ My arms will never break again...and if they do..."

She gave him a stare that physically deteriorated the room a bit. Some of the emeralds chipped off around the walls and floor. Verde looked startled by this woman. What could she have possibly done in the past few hours to get this much stronger from last time? She just accidentally used Conquerors Haki with murderous intent.

"Then it'll be done concaving your skull in!"

Muffet lunged at the man but he was way faster than her. Above all else, he took pride in his speed.

He clothes-lined her with his forearm, it slammed her onto the ground, but she bunched off the floor and grabbed his arm.

She stretched her right set of arms to wrap around his forearm that hit her and was still exposed.

She levered his kick in a 90 degree and reverse ax kicked his left Achilles, tripping him backward.

"You're gonna give me back my fucking niece!"

.
.

Susie and Ralsei bargained a little more than they dod when they agreed to fight the little girl.

They ducked and rolled around the trees to avoid her rampage. The little girl's stomps were causing the ground around them to shake and she was casually derooting the emerald trees trying to get to them.

"Alright, we turn around on three!"

Ralsei nodded.

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

Both the ladies turned around to see that the rampaging little girl was gone and out of sight. They were both confused cause she was furiously chasing them a second ago.

Then, Susie's Justice was flaring and her body instinctively parried above her. She blocked the attack but she physically couldn't send it back. Ralsei rolled away from the impact of the clash.

The little emerald girl giggled.

"You see miss, you're strong, but your strength isn't stronger than my ability. 10 tons!"

The weight of the little girl increased on her arms, she couldn't let the girl off her.

Ralsei whipped out her Yo-Yo and coated it in haki, she then put her courage shield around it and whipped it at the little girl's head. It made contact and the girl was sent of her.

Susie looked at Ralsei with a strange look.

"What? I've always wanted a Yo-Yo as a weapon. Plus with my soul added it, it's a more versatile mace!"

Just as Ralsei was explaining her weapon, the little girl rammed into her hip, sending the poor goat woman barreling through one of the emerald trees.

"As I was saying, my Devil Fruit ability allows me to increase my weight many times fold."

Susie was concerned for her friend but, she had to focus on the enemy. She now knew not to take this little girl lightly. She specializes in using her speed to launched herself like a bullet and right before impact, increasing her weight so that the impact was with the force of whatever she weighed herself.

Assuming the girl was still 10 tons, then Ralsei's ribs should've been shattered on impact. They had to stay on constant alert with this opponent.

The girl giggled and launched herself again at Susie, she quickly batted her away with a Painful Retribution that she had saved up from the previous encounter.

This sent the girl back a good couple of meters before she attempted the same attack.

"20 tons!"

Susie tried to parry it, but the blunt force of 20 tens going at almost match was too much for her to handle. She was sent off her feet and her back was slammed against one of the emerald trees.

The girl giggled and got into a jumping stance again. Susie rolled out of the way just in time, the girl went by her and broke three trees that were linearly behind the one she was just on.

This girl was a major threat. Susie felt the bruises in her bones forming along her forearms. Even blocking her attack was close to fatal. She had hoped that the little girl would be a walk in the park but they chose wrong.

She thought she heard the crack of another jump and tried to jump away from the speeding girl, but she was too slow and she was clipped in the back by her 20-ton attack.

Susie coughed blood and was sent barreling along the ground for almost a minute straight.

All around her, she heard the sounds of the emerald girl giggling, but she couldn't find her. Susie was panicking hard, but then she took a deep breath and collected herself.

"Just Form Number Nine! Sins Scanner!"

A wave of yellow swept the area around her to reveal that the girl was in the tree to her right. Susie smiled at the fact that it worked, she got ready in a batter's stance. She tensed up her muscles and Justice for this next attack.

"Justice Form Number Seven! Jury's Verdict...!"

The girl launched herself from the tree at Susie who perfectly times the swing to connect with the girl's flight path. The clash was intense, it derooted the trees that were closest to them, the pressure on her arms was excruciatingly painful but with her technique, she was gaining leverage.

The girl was inchingly gaining more leeway.

"Courage Spectre!"

An orange beam of light was pushing the back of Susie's hammer in the struggle.

Susie flicked her head back to see that it was Ralsei who was...heavily wounded. There was a giant absorbed pool of blood where she had been impacted, and rivers of blood were flowing down her nose and mouth...was she going to be alright?

Susie gritted her teeth, she can't believe that this little brat was giving her trouble and hurting her friend, the audacity!

"GET OUT OF HERE!"

Susie won the struggle and sent the girl flying on impact, she was sent and was smacked against the side of one of the mountains that were way in the distance.

Ralsei limped towards Susie and gave her a thumbs up.

"So uh, where's that trap door you were talking about?"

Susie wanted to say so much to her but they didn't have the time for back and forth chivalry. She trusted the doctor could sustain herself.

The dino girl pointed to the tree left diagonally down from them, Ralsei nodded and limped over towards the tree. She was going to help MewMew find and console Hera and Gaia.

Susie walked alongside her, but then her Justice flared up again. Just as Ralsei went down the trap door, Susie had to block whatever was coming her way.

"...100 tons!"

Susie tried to parry it, but it was too much for her, upon impact Susie was sent tumbling through tens of emerald trees, making her cough and gush blood from her orifices every time. Her pupils slowly fading out, she was eventually stopped at the shore. Her blood making the sand below her harden, which honestly, didn't know could happen.

Susie was a bloodied mess on the ground, worse than yesterday. She could only, surprisingly, muster the strength to get up. She felt like she had to, dying wasn't an option.

The girl landed in a loud thump in front of her.

"Any last words raptor freak?"

Susie laughed at that remark. Too much blood was getting in her eyes so she decided to close them. She was calm and continued laughing.

Her clothes were tethered, especially her suit shirt. She tore it up to reveal a white T-shirt with the sleeves ripped off.

She dropped her weapon, showing her incredibly bruised and unmovable arms. Her blood immediately turned her white shirt into dark pink. She puked blood and felt a crack in her spine that made her bend one knee in a responsive jerk.

"That's a good one...pathetic is it not? My captain dares to go toe to toe with your invincible leader proudly, but I can't handle a two versus one with a little girl...? I don't deserve to be in her crew or to see Kris again if I can't win this fight...if I die here...it was proof that I didn't have what it takes to be a bigshot pirate..."

Susie was rummaging underneath her shirt for something.

The little girl was confused.

"To beat you, I need some outside help...I've come to realize that people don't ask for help because they're weak...but they do so for better understanding of themselves..."

Susie took out a Devil Fruit from her shirt. The little girl fumbled back surprised. Susie has her trademark bare teeth to showcase what she does to intimidate the enemy.

"I'm taking a big gamble here, but if this fruit can somehow let me win this fight, then I'm willing to take this leap of faith!"

Susie ate the fruit and the girl spared no time and lunged at her.

Somehow, someway, with her eyes closed, she saw how the girl was going to attack her and when. Susie simply just moved her body slightly, according to what her vision saw and she guessed right. The girl completely missed her.

Susie spat out the fruit, it tasted wretched.

The girl attempted the same attack, Susie somehow perfectly saw the incoming attack with her eyes closed and back turned. It was a dash attack at her left leg from behind.

The dino girl simply lifted her left leg a bit, and the girl slid under her.

"How are you doing this?! There's no way you've learned Observation Haki over the course of this fight!"

The girl was furious and slightly scared of the thin front in front of her.

Susie just shrugged with a poker face.

"Who knows...but the more you fail to kill me, the more I get to understand my new Devil Fruit ability..."

She said the last statement in a teasing sentiment.

The little emerald girl got mad and started to attack again.

Jumping attack from the left forward diagonal...

She ducked and tilted her body back and avoided the girl's attack.

The girl got angrier and even more scared of this purple raptor woman.

Susie kept her eyes closed the entire time.

Leg sweep from my right...

Susie did a little hop and avoided the attack.

Tackle from behind followed up by a missile move from the front...

Susie ducked and the girl flew over her, now the girl was desperate and attempted her missile attack on her.

She stepped to the side as the girl flew past her and over the water. Once she was over the seawater she was stuck in the air.

"What's going on!"

The girl looked back at Susie who had her arm raised to her, she had a grin on her face.

"So if I'm not mistaken, this is a paramecia that allows me to control gravity in specific location and radius. Seems like you lucked out kiddo. Heh!"

The little girl started to panicking.

"You're bluffing! There's no way luck is on your side?! Just who do you think you are?!"

Susie just grinned at her.

"Susie D. Baranbie! The woman who will personally escort you straight to hell!"

Susie dropped her hand, and the gravity on the little girl was increased many times fold so that she plummeted like an anchor down into the depths of the seabed. Since the little girl was a Devil Fruit holder, she would die from drowning.

The victorious dino girl collapsed on the sand and stood there.

"The others can pick me up when they are done...thanks Undyne. I owe you one..."

.
.

Undyne and Nidus were very cautious with this Emerald woman, she had dangerous kicks that seemingly shattered anything that her feet came into contact with.

Each footstep had a gust of wind to accompany it. Her furious footsteps created quite the shockwave, alerting those around her to watch out.

"Spear Minigun!"

A barrage of blue, yellow, and red spears appeared from thin air and was sent soaring through the open space over to the emerald lady.

The lady kicked away a few of them but there were far too many. Some made contact seemed to cause slight physical damage to her for each spear connected.

Undyne was really Determined and willed enough to beat her. This time, she couldn't afford to lose.

Nidus slid on a slide and thin skate rink of ice, that was his main way of traveling and closing the gap.

"Midnight Apparatus!"

Nidus gave the lady a thunderous knee of hardened and compressed ice to her stomach. This made the lady flinch a bit while the ice broke on her stomach.

The spear assault ended, Undyne rushed in with an Armament Haki-covered Bonetrousle.

The emerald lady backflipped away from the two and landed on a single handstand. She began to spin her legs using her arm as an epicenter of balance, creating a vortex of kicks.

Undyne had to slow down her assault and resort to blocking using Bonetrousle. Nidus came in doing the same move as the emerald woman.

Nidus was slightly faster than Undyne at that given moment, he was able to intercept the block she was planning on doing. Both their legs stopped their spinning motions. Their legs struggling for battle, a battle that Undyne couldn't help but stop and stare at.

It was a battle of kicks, two people that specialize in leg mobility and damage. She felt out of place and generally didn't feel like this was her fight.

She felt something during their kick battle. Like she should maybe try that too, it looked fun. Plus...Papyrus' fighting style did a favor that too...did he like women like that...?

Nidus and the lady kept spinning and clashing legs. The emerald lady was able to hit him because she coated both her legs in Armament Haki, making her able to touch his normally intangible body.

"Dusk Benevolence!"

Nidus wheel flipped in the air attempted a fast and precise ax kick with his leg covered in hardened condensed ice.

Undyne noted his flexibility and agility, he was making a good first impression.

"Uproot Tower!"

The lady blocked his attack by raising her leg to the sky to block his heel with her heel. The impact sent a thick shockwave and massive thud sound. The ice broke and Nidus winced in pain, her kicks were stronger than his.

However, he wasn't going to look weak and fall in front of a woman! He has his image and clothes to look after.

Nidus was filled with...

Integrity!

His legs were enveloped in a light blue aura, the light blue light from his lenses flew brighter, his kicks and movement speed was increased dramatically.

Undyne started to like this guy's moxie. However, she knew that theirs didn't hold a candle to Papyrus'.

Undyne finally decided to get off her ass and join the fray.

The fishwoman wanted to try something new. She used all the force she could apply on her muscles to toss Bonetrousle straight up into the sky. It cracked the sound barrier and pierced the clouds.

This caused the emerald woman to look up in confusion.

Undyne's plan was in motion, she looked at Nidus and nodded, then, she unlocks all of the Determination energy she had stored up and applied it to her toned legs.

The sudden boost in power on her legs made the fabric rip apart, her muscles were bulging out of the pants. Nidus felt a bit light-headed looking at Undyne's legs.

As normal with her Determination ability, the armor was clouded over her legs, and on top of that, she coated it with Haki. So now she had jet black armored legs.

Upon looking at her herself, Undyne realized something about the armor.

Did...my mom do this same thing with her armor and that's why it was always pitch black...my mom was a beast!

Undyne was proud of her mom, and proud of herself through the proxy. Her legs were enveloped in a red aura, just like Nidus but he was light blue.

Nidus and Undyne gave each other confident looks and rushed the golem lady. The lady leaped from the air to deliver a dive kick to both of them.

Undyne and Nidus attempted the same move, a combining light of red, blue, and green merged. The impact of the three doing that sent all of them tumbling in the opposite direction. They were sent away from each other.

The golem lady regained her balance and started to sprint towards Undyne. By the bout time Undyne regained her foothold, the lady gave a thunderous sweep kick to her right side.

Undyne fumbled down the terrain and Nidus quickly hopped over her body to try his attack. He attempted his flying spartan kick.

"Evening Rush!"

He sent a barrage of flying spartan kicks to the golem lady, she returned the favor by competing in their battle of kicks.

Hers was way faster and more ferocious but over time, his kicks became faster, he didn't want his kicking pride to waiver.

"True Heroine's Bident!"

Undyne kicked the air in front of her and sent a flaming bident with her feet.

The force of the kick sent the bident at a speed that the golem couldn't keep up with. It connects with her abdomen and she was sent back and smacked her back against the tree.

She was furious.

Undyne caught up with Nidus, whose leg was still hurting from clashing with the golem.

"Oi! Plague man! Set me up!"

Nidus nodded and prepared and a spin kick. He put all of his force into this one attack. Undyne did a short linear leap and perched herself on Nidus' spinning leg as it was reaching its peach point of centripetal velocity.

"TRUE HEROINE'S- MORNING BEACON!"

They shouted together as Undyne jumped off his leg at the same time his kick sent her flying. She cracked the sound barrier and was heading knee first towards the golem woman.

The golem lady gritted her teeth.

"You idiots don't understand the difference in power!"

The emerald lady seemed to have charged up a powerful kick. She jumped up to Undyne's flight path and delivered a ferocious roundhouse kick to the fish women's jaw.

Undyne wasn't expecting her to have recovered so fast and was caught off guard, that kick alone shattered her jaw and sent her flying the opposite way.

The fish woman tumbled and crashed through three emerald trees while violently bleeding from the mouth.

Nidus looked back in horror as to be witnessed all that go down. He felt a gush of wind woosh up to him and he jumped back in a quick-minded effort.

"Femur Buster!"

"Dusk Benevolence!"

Both their legs clashed creating a shockwave the was now splitting the ground.

"Ribcage Eclipse!"

"Dawn Awakening!"

"Femur Buster!"

"Afternoon Malevolence!"

Kick after kick they maneuvered their bodies to deliver kicks with heavy murderous intent.

They dashed along and through the trees, dodging and blocking each other's kicks with their legs. Derooting the trees and splitting the ground where they fought.

Truthfully, Nidus was losing his stamina and guard much faster than the golem was. Nidus ran up a tree and backflipped it to deliver a mean kick to the back of her head.

"Evening Shroud!"

The kick was blocked her doing an air spin kick. With each block and blocked hit, he felt his legs slowly brittle away.

"You're quite agile for someone in a suit! But this is where you die!"

The woman grabbed him by the shirt and slammed him on the ground in an over-shoulder slam. She quickly pinned him onto the ground with one foot and raised her other.

"W-wait-!"

"Femur Breaker!"

The lady stomped on his chest with the force that made the ground below him concave. A massive amount of blood squirted from his plague mask, even out of the eye sockets. His body wriggled in pain but he didn't scream.

Everything was quiet.

"Wow, that had enough force to liquefy every bone in your body...shall I attempt your face next!"

She raised her leg again with even more strength and brought it down like a gavel.

"Skull Cruncher!"

With an unknown amount of strength, he mustered enough to block it with his hand. She couldn't move her leg and was quite startled.

"What?! Where is this strength coming from? You should've even been able to move an inch!"

Nidus stared dead into her cold dark eyes.

"Please lady...not the mask...I promise someone that I'd keep this mask on, a woman back home...it would be a shame if it broke...what kind of man would I be if I couldn't keep a promise!"

The lady tried to move her leg again, she was getting more leeway. He was slipping.

"Even now, when I can't move, can barely breathe, vision blurring, strength slipping...I shall not scream or wail in agony...I don't have the right...the woman I love back home has been through much worse! I don't deserve to be even feeling pain compared to what she's going through!"

The golem slammed his hand onto the ground, breaking the bones in his left hand. She then raised her foot again.

"I'll stomp in your mask even after I kill you! If you wanted to keep a promise to the bitch back home, then you should've been stronger-!"

She sent down a stomp with the intent to explode him, but just then, she felt so much murderous intent that it made her body tense up and heavy.

She couldn't move her body, nor could she think straight. A cold and metal hand was placed on her right shoulder.

She turned around and saw the face of death.

It was a woman in a full black suit of armor. The armor's design resembling a mix between a piranha and a shark. On the forearms and shins and chest of this woman in armor was a red heart that was glowing in the darkness of night.

There was no breeze, but her long red hair, which seems to be in a ponytail, rushed in the breeze.

When she locked eyes with this being, the sullen dark sockets glowed and blinding red. The mouthpiece of the helmet opened slightly while the being cocked back her right arm.

"Same could be said to you if you wanted to protect your leader-"

The woman in armor gave the golem woman a thunderous right hook to the gut. This derooted the emerald trees around them and cracked her gem body. The golem lady didn't even get sent fly, she just stood there limp.

"Then you're going to have to try a lot harder than that...!"

The armor on the being started deteriorating and shook revealing that it was Undyne underneath the armor, but for some reason, the energy died down, as if the person that landed the blow was a different person.

"*pant* *pant* Sorry...that was my mom venting...but...I'm determined to not let you win!"

Undyne gritted her teeth, her head felt like shit after the kick from earlier, but her slight act of Kindness made it at least able for her to talk.

The golem lady didn't know how to act, she just frustratingly unleashed her confusion and rage.

Nidus watched from the sidelines as he saw the weakened fish and golem lady continue their kicking battle. He was unable to stand, that first stomp made it hard for him to breathe or even be conscious.

He watched as both ladies completely forgot on how to block or technique, they just took turns desperately and sloppily kicking each other from the gut up. Each of them yelled and screamed after each blow landed. A true battle of will.

Nidus felt an ache in his chest...it wasn't the pain.

Seems these women are more manly than I... that's what I love so much about women...Lillian...oh sweet Lillian...I won't ever show pain, this mask...will hide all the pain I hold...the pain we hold... I'll find you one day...my dear Lillian...

Nidus just laid motionless on the ground

After a couple of minutes of exchanging blows, they were both sitting on the floor, desperately trying to catch their breath.

Undyne had lost more blood than she thought she ever had in her body. Most importantly, the golem lady was severely cracked, one more kick on either side and they were done.

The fish woman chuckled. It was time.

"You know...you remind me of another woman I had to fight that was emerald-themed...you were stronger than her of course, Gwehehe!"

Undyne laughed after her remark, so did the emerald lady.

"Thanks!...Nice to know I made such an impression on you..."

The golem lady was the first to get up and make her way to Undyne who was still sitting down, catching her breath.

"However, this is where our fight ends, you simply didn't have what it takes to best me in combat!"

The lady raised her leg over Undyne to deliver one last ax kick.

Undyne just laughed hard in her face.

"It's ironic too! You both died the same way!"

The emerald lady was confused, but then from the sky. A bone trident impaled her from the top of the head and skewered her head onto the ground. The golem lady stood there lifeless as her body crumbled away.

Undyne just sat there and picked up Bonetrousle.

"...I don't know how you can do it Papyrus...kicking isn't it for me!"

She collapsed onto the ground and sighed.

"Hey, plague man...you still up?"

There was a silence, all she could hear was him sobbing.

"Hey man, are you crying-"

"Thank you! Thank you so much! I'm now able to continue the promise I made to the woman I love..."

Undyne just smiled and laid on the ground and let him to his groveling.

She stared up at the sky.

"Gwehehe! Mom...you're such a softie!"

.
.

MewMew ran down the steps as fast as she could before she was intervened by a tall golem man.

"Wait what?! Get your non-glamourous ass out of the way!"

She separated her body and went around him, she then reconnected her body and continued to run down the spiral steps that lead down into the catacombs.

Her alliance team entrusted her with the most important job, to get Hera and Gaia out of incubation. There was no way she'd let them down, her pride and her title were on the line. Everyone else was fighting their hearts out just for her to have a smooth sail, they catered to her weaknesses while not looking down on her.

She hated to admit it, but within the past few hours of knowing them, she had already grown attached. She knew that from this point on, her life would get more interesting. There was a point in trying now, a point to paying her debt to Frisk.

MewMew woke up in a hospital bed. IV bags and tubes were inserted through her arms and legs. Her heart rate monitor was the only thing she was able to hear for the first few minutes.

The first thing she could imagine was Frisk. Her senses came to her and she looked around for him. He was nowhere to be found. She sat upright and immediately felt light-headed.

Some nurses rushed to her and tried to hold her down while she squirmed. The IV bags were rocking back and forth, the metal bars on the hospital bed were clacking with the wheels and the looser parts of the bed.

MewMew kept trying to escape the grip of the nurses, she desperately needed to see her older brother again...which honestly felt more like lovers than bond siblings anymore. What they had to do on that rowboat kind of shattered that idea.

Their relationship was complicated.

"FRISK?! WHERE'S FRISK?!"

The nurses were scared of her but kept holding her down anyways.

"He's gone!"

MewMew froze when she heard that...she stopped revolting and simmered down.

"W-what did you say..."

"He's gone! He left the island, on a rowboat. The men outside paid for your hospital bill."

MewMew couldn't function...he left her?

He left her on this island...

MewMew looked outside to see a bunch of men circling the hospital.

"The man you're speaking of left a note while you were being treated. He wanted us to make sure that you read it."

MewMew looked at the small table to her left and saw a paper with illegible handwriting that she knew was Frisk's handwriting. Only she was able to read it.

MewMew picked up the note and read it as soon as possible.

I know you're angry and furious at me right now, and I don't blame you. I messed up, royally . For once, my greed dragged you into danger instead of the other way around...

You stuck with me through thick and thin sis. By the time you read this...if you do read this...I'm under the assumption that you live through your treatment. The nurses said you might die and I hope that isn't the case...

Imma cut to the chase with you...from this point on, we can't sail together anymore. I can't bring myself to look you in the eye after what I made you go through. I'm taking a row-boat back to our old ship and claim that you are deceased so that they don't come looking for you...

I did something...when I saw you pass out...I don't know what I did, but this group of men found us and carried us to the hospital where they questioned me...I told them that it was you who possessed the power I just unlocked. The men outside...they're your crewmates, they humbly devoted themselves to your cause...and yes...a ship is waiting for you.

You will have been woken up after a year-long coma, if all is well, then the men would have built a ship that accompanies you, one where you get to be a Pirate Captain with fifty men under your heel...like how we wanted to have together...

I'm sorry but, this is an adventure I want you to experience on your own...I'm not ready to sail with someone like you, I'd feel like the dead weight...

We'll always be together, even if distance says otherwise...hopefully...if you're alive and read this...still under the assumption that you didn't survive...but maybe someday down the line...I'll be an established captain of a crew and maybe...we could find each other and sail together...the double captain alliance we always wanted to be...

If you are alive , and I pray you are...do bond brother one last favor...use the men and ship and fruit to make a name for yourself , become an Emperor, that's how I know that you're alive and ready to see me again...I know you can do it, if you don't end up becoming one, I will assume you either don't want to talk to me, or you're dead...I understand...

I love you, Mew...

Sincerely me, Frisk D. Reemurr

MewMew had gripped the paper and soaked it in tears. Her brother was gone and left her...alone.

She would have to make it up to him, somehow, not only did he save her life, but he gave her her dream goal. She always wanted to be a Pirate Captain with a loyal crew beneath her...but she wanted to be captains with Frisk...

She would take up his challenge...she would devote the tools he gave her to become an Emporer, she didn't know-how. She wasn't strong nor had giant chunks of land to herself. But she would do whatever it takes to become one!

She would prove to him that she was alive and well and that she wasn't mad at him eternally.

She would pay back the debt she owes Frisk, the man of her dreams!

MewMew tried everything in her power to dodge this man as she ran down the emerald stairs.

However, it was just too much stress on her mind. So much pressure. She couldn't handle it all. The man finally caught up to her with a smug look on his face.

"Hey there missy, where do you think you're going?"

He laughed in her face as he clothes-lined her, causing her to fall backward onto the floor, however, she gritted her teeth and kept running. The man seemed surprised and in a quick bit of thought about what this woman was trying to accomplish.

"I can't stop! Get out of my way!"

MewMew continued to bolt down the stairs as fast as she could. She wasn't anywhere near the catacombs floor, she had to somehow trek down the emerald stairs in hopes that she could evade enough attacks to survive.

That hit she took was heavy but she continued, the blunt force of that attack felt like being hit by slamming into a steel wall while in momentum from sliding down an incline. On top of her weak attacking power, she had very little defense as well. Her only pluses were her catlike agility and her boosted agility with her fruit. Her reaction time was recognized by most who have fought her before, it was almost instantaneous.

MewMew's long pink hair aggressively fluttered in the wind because of the speed she was running at.

The golem man appeared in front of her with a smug smile.

"Get out of my way!"

She punched him with a clean good hit on the chest. He didn't budge an inch. She punched him again, and he laughed in her face.

Frustrated, she separated her body to flank all around him. He kept laughing at her.

"You know how useless your attempts are, don't you?"

The man quickly dashed to her and swept kicked her on her left hip, she coughed up a bit of blood as slammed against the emerald wall. She just gritted her teeth and kept running down the stairs.

The man chuckled and effortlessly ran beside her. MewMew was a little shocked but too focused and angry to visibly show it. She raised her fist towards him, he just stood there and mocked her by laughing in her face rudely.

"Mad MewMew's Rocket Punch!"

She separated her fist from her arm using her Devil Fruit. The speed she shot it at was especially fast, it connected with his right cheek and it made him stumble. No visible damage though.

"You bitch!"

The man gripped MewMew's face and slammed her against the wall with bloodlust. MewMew's body felt that blow. She gritted her teeth as she desperately tried to swat his arm away from her head.

"You think it'll be that easy to get past me? You're by far the weakest attempt anyone on this Peninsula has made, just give up."

He then uppercut her in the gut. MewMew coughed up blood and her pupils faded in and out.

MewMew stood on top of her new and first ship. She was feeling around the wood with some glee, still hurt from the note and the burden of what she must do now.

"Wow Captain MewMew, so you're the one who did that massive shockwave across town! It knocked a great portion of the island's population out!"

Her crew members were raving with excitement and misplaced trust in their Captain. She flinched at those words.

"Oh uh...yeah, I did..."

She gripped the railing of the ship. The wood was rich and firm. However, it squeaked under her grip.

All the men gawked and quickly fell to their knees to humbly pay their respects to their new captain.

"Miss MewMew! We wish to work under your wing, we want to be as strong as you!"

All the men cheered in her name.

MewMew continued to squeeze the railing and bit her lip.

"Does everyone just care about strength...is that all there is to life...?"

The men's cheers went down quickly. They gave her confused looks.

She bit her lip extra hard and sobbed while having her back face to them. She couldn't face anyone, not in the position she was in.

"Is that all that life is supposed to be about- strength! What do you mean even want to be with me for?! Strength?! Some better captains can offer more of that! Why is the real reason you want to serve me?! If there isn't then don't bored my ship...!"

She fell to her knees and started to sob harder, still facing away from her crew. After a few long seconds, no noise was made, no one spoke up.

No one had another reason.

She clenched her fist.

I didn't think so...

MewMew raised her legs at him while he kept delivering heavy blows to her gut, each was making her cough more and more blood, losing consciousness each time.

"Mad MewMew's Twin Stocking!"

She separated her legs from her body and kicked him in the gut, the force from it made him flinch and moved him back a couple of feet.

She used that opportunity to fly over him and down the steps, she could faintly smell the burning corpses and decaying bodies and feces.

Come on... I'm almost there...!

She got down and couple more flights, her body felt like giving out a long time ago, she was running off of adrenaline, but she had to continue; she couldn't fall yet. After she would help Muffet, Frisk's disciple then should gladly die.

The smell got stronger and stronger, she was sure just one more flight before she'd get to the catacombs, where she could fly around and not have to deal with getting hit by the guy.

Right as she was about to turn the corner to get to the last flight of stairs to reach the catacombs, she felt a grip on her left.

"Going down!"

The emerald man gripped her calves and he came plummeting back down to the staircase. He slammed her onto the emerald stairs at almost Mach speeds.

MewMew's ribcage, skull, and pelvis were completely obliterated. She could hear the snaps of her bones in her chest happen one by one. Her head felt lighter, in a bad way.

She couldn't move, nor feel pain anymore. She was numb. All she could hear was the sounds of her gurgling on her blood.

No...I'm...too weak to even go down a flight of stairs...is that all I have...? There's no way I can beat this guy...he's so much stronger than me...

The emerald slowly walked to her, he gripped the back of her head, stuffing in her hair, and he lifted her head to look at the catacombs.

This man was absurdly cocky.

"Look, all of your men you could've saved if you weren't a shitty captain. And you call yourself a Warlord, Hah!"

MewMew could at least hear his voice, but what he said clicked.

Wait...my men...?

She used the last of her energy to strain her eyesight just a bit more. And there she saw it...

Her men, being forced slave away, chucking corpses, each other's corpses into a fire in the middle of the town. The men groaning in despair, eating their dead comrades for food and survival, subjected to a life of torture.

"If only you were stronger, then you wouldn't have had such a grim end. Don't worry, these men will put your body to good use, Hahahaha!"

MewMew...looked at her men...in pain.

Just then, through her sobs, a hand was placed on her shoulder. She turned to see her strongest-looking crewmate look at her with honest eyes.

"Though we believe that you are strong, and that's why we joining, we value you for the source and creativity of your strength."

MewMew was confused but didn't expect such a misdirected answer, he was being serious and truthful too.

Another crewmate approached her from the other side.

"Yeah! Although there are a lot of captains, they always have the same cliche ideas and way over voyaging. Not only are you a heavenly-looking woman, rare in the sea of pirates, but you have powers and abilities that make you stand out."

MewMew's tears stopped. She looked at the two men frantically.

Was she that special?

A third crewmate showed up directly behind her.

"Everything about you sets you apart from everyone else at sea. Everything about where we are and who we are talking to is eccentric, many would kill for this kind of adventure. We would happily follow you and help you accomplish your dreams!"

All the other men cheered for her, MewMew turned to them with teary eyes again. But this time, of joy, this was exactly the kind of dream she wanted.

"Remember Captain MewMew, you're strong, in your way. In your special way, you can find a way to beat the odds of any obstacle. You can do anything Glamorously!"

MewMew stood up proud and gave an eccentric pose.

"Enough of your glamorous nonsense! You men are horrible...but I guess you're good enough to join the likes of me! I'll fight as your strong captain, in my special way!"

The men raised their fists and cheered, starting to run around the ship, getting ready to set sail.

MewMew separated her body to fly and pump her fist in the air extra high.

"We set sail! The Mad Mew Pirates!"

The men jumped up and roared into the sky.

"MAY WE BE PROTECTED BY MAD D. MEWMEW, OUR FUTURE QUEEN OF THE PIRATES!"

The man continued gripping her head laughing.

"It is too late, you had a good run. Maybe I should make them use your body as-"

MewMew grabbed his arm and squeezed it. The emeralds that made up his arm cracked. He flinched and glanced at her with wide eyes.

"My crew..."

MewMew body engulfed itself in a green wave, healing her body up drastically but not fully. She had her Kindness soul to thank for that.

She gave him bloodthirsty eyes. Her eyes were flickering between purple and green.

"HOW DARE YOU TORTURE MY MEN! I'LL KILL YOU!'

A wave of invisible force, a sweeping shockwave came out from her. All the emeralds that were surrounding them turned back ina to regular stone.

The shockwave alerted all of her men and a goat girl in particular. The shockwave also healed the men and the goat girl to almost full health.

However, when the shockwave got to the man, he flew back into the wall of the catacombs. He looked at the cat woman as she was being enveloped by her rage, the catacombs crumbling from the inside due to her sheer willpower.

"Wait-! How did you learn Conquerors Haki?! How do you have it?!"

MewMew's body turned all black.

Full coated Armament Haki too?! How far did I push her...how far is she pushing herself?! What breakthrough did she make that made her this strong?!

"Listen dickhole! I haven't trained Haki in my life, nor do I know how I did unlock it, or even had the potential to. I'm just a woman who happens to have the middle initial 'D', making me special as a birthright!"

MewMew proudly jabbed her black and hardened thumb at herself, her eyes still filled with bloodlust. She gave him a cocky and confident stronger.

"Heh! Even with those two things unlocked, with your base strength, that's not enough to beat me! You're aren't strong-"

MewMew's rocket punch caught him mid-sentence, causing him to bump his head against the wall. The punch was way greater than before, catching him off guard in not only strength but also speed.

"I AM STRONG! IM CAPTAIN MAD D. MEWMEW! CAPTAIN OF THE MAD MEW PIRATES! I'LL SHOW YOU THAT IM CAPABLE OF TAKING YOU DOWN, IN MY WAY!"

The cat woman, separated her body into as many pieces as she can, leaving her head intact while her other limbs shot at the emerald man. He managed to dodge some, but some of the Haki-covered limbs slammed his arms and legs to the stone wall.

Wait, why isn't this wall emerald now?! Is her Conquerors Haki stronger than Verde's Endeavor Haki?

MewMew rolled her head around the walls and floors of the giant stone room, her men cheering her on in the process, crying and salivating over her.

She developed so much momentum that the gust of wind was swarming around her because of her traveling speed.

In her rolling, she saw a beat-up, but able Ralsei in the crowd. She was glad she was there.

Ralsei had fallen into the catacombs after letting Susie tend to the little girl. However, she couldn't do much when she landed because of how much of a bad shape her body was in after barely surviving the little girl's attack.

MewMew's room-wide boost of Kindness had healed her enough to walk and stay conscious.

The emerald man tried prying himself from the Haki limbs, he was slowly gaining more force against it, her Haki was rapidly fading.

Once he was free, he'd finish her off once and for all. MewMew knew that too, realistically, she was one hit away from completely dying. Her Kindness could only repair her body so much.

"Hey, Miss Mew, need help?"

MewMew watched as the goal girl took out a Yo-Yo and whipped it at her head. The string wrapped around the cat lady's head and Ralsei began to continue to her momentum but added more force.

With her Yo-Yo, she spun her around in circles, adding more force and potential energy to the path her head was trying to take.

"Trust me, emerald man! This is going to hurt me more than it's gonna hurt you."

The man was scared, he quickly tried to free himself, he was almost there. All he had to was break free.

"Now goat woman!"

Ralsei flung MewMew's head at the emerald man. The speed of MewMew's disembodied Haki-coated head had so much force behind it that the gust of wind knocked Ralsei back.

The emerald man struggled in a scared panic. Finally, before she managed to hit him, his arms broke free from the restraints. He held his arms forward to block the attack.

"Haha! There's no way you'll be able to break my defense-"

MewMew's head slammed through his arms like breaking through ice. With his arms gone and her in momentum, her head crashed into his chest. Not only exploding him into green dust and chunks but crumbling the wall behind him, revealing an open space shrouded in darkness.

The men cheered for MewMew as she fell to the ground limply, her head feeling like it was splitting. Her body reconnected at last and she just laid there on the ground.

Her crew and Ralsei ran up to her.

"That's our captain for ya!"

MewMew just raised her fist to the sky while taking asthmatic heavy breaths, she was overly exhausted and her body was sore and burnt out, she couldn't even move it. Her body had been through enough.

"Men, I fucking love you guys...but get back on the ship, and set sail without me, I'll catch up..."

Her men looked at each other confused, Ralsei knew which path she was taking and just folded her arms.

"B-but Captain-! We can't leave you like this-"

MewMew flicked her head at them.

"I have a doctor here, I'll be fine, just get on the ship, we're leaving!"

Her men still refused.

Ralsei spoke for MewMew.

"That's a Captain's goddamn order, you listen to her, or you were never her crew to begin with!"

All the men looked at Ralsei in fear. After a few seconds of silence, they nodded and said their regards as they ran up the steps.

Another set of seconds went by full of silence. Ralsei looked down at MewMew.

"You know when I first saw your ship and read your stories on why you were a Warlord...I was scared, and honestly, I thought that you were a tyrant with a cold heart...But now, I'm proud of you, you're finally fit to be Captain...how does it feel?"

MewMew laughed at Ralsei's words and coughed, she gave her a grand smile, showing her cat fangs. Her cat ears flickered and her tail wagged happily.

"Makes me feel like a million glamorous bucks, Shishishi~!"

Both of them shared a laugh.

"Hey uh...goat girl...can you continue my task for me...I can't move, and when I do...there's something I have to do in this room that I promised myself I'd do...it's important."

Ralsei nodded and gave her a thumbs up.

"Of course! That's what friends are for!"

Ralsei ran off into the staircase leading downstairs. MewMew sighed.

"You proud of me Frisk...can you feel my passion from wherever you are...?"

MewMew looked into the room she found and waited for when she could move again.

.
.

"Spider Rocket!"

Verde blocked her attack with his forearms, he counted with an uppercut that she backflipped from and prepare a swiping kick.

"Spider Scythe!"

Verde jumped over the kick but noticed her six arms latched onto his shoulders. She gave him a quick smirk.

"And-! Gum Gum Spider Missile"

She launched herself at his head in mid-air, Verde countered Muffet's headbutt with his headbutt.

The clash sent the two of them barreling away from each other in opposite directions. They both landed in a crater that was made upon their impact on the ground.

They had been fighting for about twenty minutes now. And frankly, Muffet was holding her own, but still losing. He was still stronger and faster than her, despite herself being way more durable than before.

Verde was a bit out of breath, but that was about it, while Muffet was a bit scuffed up. Bleeding from the mouth and a little bit from the head. She wasn't close to being knocked out or dead, but she was getting exhausted and almost drained all her stamina. She felt like all of her attacks did nothing against his thick, burly, Armament Haki-infused body.

She took deep and heavy breaths.

"I give you this spider woman, you are a tough cookie, but nowhere near my level. Don't you get it?! To accomplish your dreams and even get into the Grand Line, you have to at least be able to beat me! Even if you manage to escape me and sneak into the Grand Line, how can you protect your friends?"

Verde was confident in his power and ability, being leagues above his associates, he had the right to.

Muffet took a couple of heavy breaths.

She smiled.

"By the feel of things, all my friends have finished their battles...and won! Right now, our only opposition now is me and you Verde Armstrong!"

Verde laughed at her moxie.

"Gwahahag! You are going to try fighting me as you are now? Even if all your friends came here and attacked at the same time at their strongest, I'd still win!"

All of MewMew's men ran up the steps until they saw Verde, the Golem Tyrant, turn to them with glowing green eyes.

"Gwahahag! You're not even strong enough to stop me from killing these roaches."

Verde turned his back to her and started to walk towards the men, who were cowering in fear.

Assuming that Muffet was too tired to attack him with enough force to matter, he let his guard down. Muffet then used that to grapple her arms onto him by his shoulders. He scoffed when she did, and then he closed his eyes.

If he was being real, his haki wasn't that impressive to anyone that already had it and trained it. It was all on a basic level of understanding. Mostly stemming because the Peninsula barely has any visitors.

So with his basic observation haki, he envisioned something powerful, like a high-speed punch would be directed at his back.

Verde turned around and held up both his forearms to block her incoming punch. However, to his surprise, she came in with a dive kick using both her legs. That attack was able to push both of them back just enough to fall down the staircase. Which, is what Muffet wanted as she smiled.

Both of them were falling down the stairs, the last of MewMew's men ran past them as they went down. They both kept bouncing around the staircase, Verde was taking damage from the high speed and multiple impacts of the steps. Muffet, however, was completely impervious to the damage.

Every time Verde would try and get better footing, Muffet would continuously attack him so that he wouldn't.

She could tell he was getting angrier. She wanted that. She wanted to pay Verde in full for how he made her feel. For everything he did.

Muffet, seeing as how this small, linear, narrow staircase had no way of hurting her upon impact, and knowing that it was hard to leave this staircase seeing as how far down they had already gotten, she grinned.

With her new unbreakable arms, she wrapped herself in a giant ball using her arms. And with the momentum from falling down the stairs, she coated herself in Perseverance and recreated the move she did back on Yetera.

"GUM GUM! SPIDER COMET!"

Verde used his observation Haki to see how to avoid it or counter it...

He couldn't.

Muffet, at over sound speeds, was bouncing off the walls and stairs and back into Verde dealing enough damage to cause serious visible damage and injure him. This cycle was repeated for a long time.

Eventually, the insides of the staircase were shattering upon her impact. Getting so fast that towards the bottom of the staircase, she slammed into him and chipped him. He was slammed against a wall of emerald and shards broke off him.

He used his observation haki again, as she was coming at him at mach again. This time, there was something he can do.

He got off the wall and picked up a shard of emerald, the sharpest he can grab, he then held it in front of him using both arms for good support. He coated it Armament and Endeavor Haki.

"Impressive move Spider Captain! Not too shabby! I haven't taken that much damage in a fight ever! However, there are two flaws in your attack!" Verde said.

Muffet couldn't get what he meant, regardless she bounced towards him.

He grinned.

"Sharp attacks!"

Using his arms as a good support and Armament Haki, the shard cut through the skin in between two of her arms and went through the ball of arms. Muffet got scared that he was able to pierce the attack and got stabbed through the stomach with it.

He grinned wider this time, almost chaotically.

"And of course, yourself!" He said as his Endeavor Haki activated and unleashed the attack she did to the shard back at her.

Muffet violently spat out blood and saliva fluids as her body was sent burrowing back up the staircase because of a redirected attack.

That did a number on her.

Regardless, she got up. Her clothes were tattered and a mess. She looked down at her tuxedo and tore it off. She kept the pants but removed her top. Her cut muscles and determined face were shown along with her clenched fist and six arms flexed and at her side.

She seemed more annoyed than hurt.

Her mouth was bleeding, but she just wiped it off with her top left hand. Her pupil-less eyes were now given one, a singular glowing purple dot on all five of her eyes.

She was...looking down at him. Her fist, it glew a bright purple, her will to Persevere was overflowing. Then, her feet started to glow as well, her hair started to sway a bit, even though there was no wind. The area around her started to chip and crack a little. She walked down one step. Bloodlust filled the air in heavy amounts.

Verde smiled.

"Gweheheg! How was that?! Your own attack was-"

"Shut up."

Verde was confused. She continued before he can say anything.

"When I'm mad, I usually don't think, and just do instead. I never use any real fighting technique or plan attacks when I fight. I just attack brashly and hope it's fast enough to hit. However, with you, Im angry, but I'm thinking more now. I can't tell whether to curse you out or thank you. I think that's a sign of me maturing, don't you think?"

Verde gave a soft smile.

"Not bad kid. Show me if my teachings were useful!'

Muffet gave a smile as if she found something funny and with a flex of her muscles plus an intense stare while giving him an insane smile, her whole body was overflowing and glowing with Perseverance. Her hair flowed with long black hair instead of in stiff mounds. Her hair was moving with her purple aura, her eyes becoming fully bright purple and blinding. She walked down the steps faster.

"Damn you, Verde Armstrong! For making me think of you in a green light!" Muffet said as she dashed to him with a newly acquired heightened base power.

Verde was caught off guard initially but quickly adapted. This time, they took the fight back upstairs.

Both of them exchanged punches, Muffet gave him a left- hook to his face using her three left arms, Verde gave her a right hook with his right arm. The impact shook the room.

Muffet was launched back, however, both of them took the same amount of damage.

Verde lunged after her and gut-punched her down towards the staircase with his fist coated in Armament. Muffet let out a grunt of pain to which she responded with an attack of her own.

"Gum Gum! Spider Rocket!" She stretched back her six arms and nailed all six into his face with Perseverance. He was off her.

She had to admit, his defense was insane.

Muffet took a giant leap behind her to widen the distance between the two but Verde jumped at her at the same time she backed up.

"You and me Spider-Girl! Bug vs Gem!"

"Right back 'atcha!"

He came at her with a twin punch to her chest.

She blocked it.

She then jumped to the wall next to her and do another dive-kick.

He used observation Haki and dodged.

He grabbed her leg and tossed her up the staircase.

She shot web from her wrist and attached it to his shoulders. She then swung under his legs and gave a drop-kick to the back of his head, it sent him up the staircase by a few meters.

She chased him.

He turned around and grabbed her with Armament Haki and slammed her on the ground.

She dashed backward again.

He punched, she blocked.

She punched, he blocked.

He kicked, she evaded.

She kicked, he evaded.

Their attacks were causing a different shockwave to emit. Their fight went from unleashing random attacks to precise and respectable bouts.

Bloodlust but also respect was made between their blows, a true fight.

They had chiseled their way back up the staircase and back into the main room, where she had met Verde originally, back on the mouth of the mountain.

She was breathing heavily. Her stamina still was like Verde's. He looked like he could go for another hour. However, with her Perseverance, she didn't have time to fight another hour.

Not to mention, she was pretty roughed up. Granted, Verde looked like he took a beating as well.

She screamed to give herself adrenaline, so did he.

Their first clashed, the emerald walls chipped. She gave a spartan kick to his chest. He was pushed back.

Verde proceeded to shoulder bash her in the chest, making her push back also. She tumbled through the floor but gained her footing again. She grinned, so did he.

Muffet dashed to him with her arms twirled in a spiral.

"Gum Gum! Twin Spider Drill!"

Her six fist came digging into him, trying to drill through him, but he resisted it and deflect it off. He then ran at her to which she was ready.

"Gum Gum! Spider Shotgun!" She said as she stretched her arms back and hit him with six punches across his chest.

That did damage.

He was sent back. But while he was being sent back, he was able to grab her arms and pull him closer to her. He covered his head in Armament Haki. Muffet knew what this was and stretched her head back really far and then snapped it back at him.

"Gum Gum! Spider Gong!"

Both of them took heavy damage from exchanging headbutts. Muffet got dizzy and stumbled backward before getting herself back together. Verde had to readjust himself too.

However, when he did. Something was different with Muffet. Her confidence and pride felt...boosted. She gave him the same look and pose from earlier. She was still...looking down at him. She was...

Pitying him.

"...I want to thank you, Verde Armstrong."

He looked at her, she looked confident, proud, and she was in a crouched position. Her left set of arms was clamped onto her left thigh's muscles. Her right set of arms was planted onto the ground, her right hands all balled in a fist and connecting to the ground in a line. Her head was looking up at him, their height difference made it possible.

"Hmm?"

Verde was curious as to where she was going with this.

"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been able to seek a further strength, our fight has only made me stronger...capable of protecting my crew! With this new power, I sought out...I can protect them, and you won't be a threat anymore."

Muffet gave him a demonic giggle.

Verde felt a bit intimated.

"What is it? Did you learn Haki? If that's the case, then mine automatically surpasses yours. That ain't an upper hand."

Muffet laughed harder, this made him shut up.

"No...I purposely didn't learn any haki...I wanted to beat you without it, to show you that your strength is nothing compared to the fighter that I am! I'm here to make a statement about the difference between passions."

Muffet looked down at the ground.

"You pride yourself too much on your soul and not enough with your power!"

PUMP...PUMP...

Verde's eyes widened.

"The man was able to increase his speed and reflexes by increasing his blood flow. However, his heart exploded shortly afterward, the regular human body can't handle that extremity."

Muffet thought to herself and spoke out loud.

"My body is specifically built to handle that, my fruit ability won't allow me to explode because I'm rubber, and I can pump my blood using a surface, cause I'm rubber! I now know how to beat Verde!

PUMP...PUMP...

Muffet's skin glew a brighter purple as if something was burning underneath her. Her veins.

Her arms that were placed on the ground were used to crunch her arm inside itself, to pump up and speed up the flow of blood in her body.

Out of her pores, oozed steam and smoke that was happening because of the burning sensation in her body.

After a few more pumps, she stopped and stood up. Shimmering in a bright and lighter purple. Smoke consistently coming off her in radical bunches.

Verde flinched as just her presence made the room feel heavier.

"You fool! Just because your body can handle doing that, doesn't mean you're safe! You're shortening your lifespan doing that."

Muffet didn't listen to him at all.

"Let's pump this battle into Second Gear!"

She raised her left three hands and form an shape with all three hands, tilting the thumb to the side while keeping the other fingers straight and firm.

She seemed to use that to aim her next attacks.

MewMew's men were cheering for her and rooting her name.

"Go, spider lady! Save us!"

Verde was annoyed.

"You pride yourself with your strength and speed...but with 'Second Gear'...I think I can close the gap!"

Verde laughed.

"You think you're fast enough and strong enough now to touch and hurt me...well, let's see!"

Verde used all his force to dash at her the fastest she could, cracking the sound barrier when he did. He became a barely visible green blur at that point.

"MACH SPIDER BULLET!"

Muffet used one hand to punch while using the hands she already had up to aim it. The punch was so quick and fast that it looked like the punch teleported to him.

When she punches, her arm didn't even move, it just moved an inch and then a sonic boom appeared from around her wrist and her fist was instantaneously back from being stretched.

That one punch connected on Verde's chest before he could get to her, which surprised him a great deal. She had closed the gap in speed and even surpassed it. Not only that, but the punch sent him to fly far and made him fall on his back and bounced off the floor.

The men started to use that opportunity to run past him and run outside towards their ship.

Verde's chest was slightly chipped and cracked. He looked at it puzzled.

Without haki, she managed to damage my body, and caught up to my stats!

In fear, he looked up to where she was, but she wasn't there, just a ring of smoke.

There was silence.

"MACH SPIDER SHOTGUN"

She seemingly teleported to his right and decked him with six slightly above Mach speed punches. That had the force of her muscle and elasticity, combined with her speed made for a devastating combo. However, Verde noticed something scary about this spider girl.

He was sent flying against the emerald wall.

"So, mach is only your base speed in that form...you use your Perseverance on your blood flow to make it faster as you fight with it on. Making you faster as a whole the longer you fight in gear second...clever girl."

Muffet laughed a laugh of glee.

"Huehuehue~ You figured it out! You think you can counter it?"

Verde laughed at glee too. He finally found a worthy opponent.

"You sure I can! Show me the strength of the future Pirate Queen!"

He roared as he jumped off the wall he was on, coating himself with full Armament Haki.

In a green and purple blur, they fought around the cave, going mach speed as their base. Each punch created shockwaves that alerted everyone on the island.

MewMew's men, Undyne, Susie, Nidus, Fuhu, were all watching and hearing the fight go down.

Muffet was going so fast that her movements sounded like she was slicing the air with her body.

Undyne manhandled Nidus and Susie and brought them together so that she could heal them both with her Kindness. She was only able to heal them enough to stay conscious and walk. Fighting was to a minimum.

They obeyed their captain and only watched.

"Holy shit, is that our captain that was groveling a few hours ago?"

Susie gave the remark with open eyes, barely being able to keep up with the fight. Muffet was seemingly blitzing Verde, while Verde stayed on the defensive. Their movements looked like a pinball game, as a green and purple blur clashed every half second in the cave.

Undyne gave a wide grin.

"Yep! That's our Captain...kick his ass 'M'!"

Nidus watched the fight too, barely being able to keep up. He said no words, but under the mask, he appreciated women a bit more than before because of their adventure. He laughed and cheered her on too.

"MACH SPIDER SHOTGUN, MAGNUM, DRILL, AXE, SWEEP!"

Muffet was dishing these attacks out one by one on a relentless onslaught, Verde could barely keep up, some attacks hit him, but he couldn't falter in his plan. Soon, in a few minutes...

Gaia would be born!

He strikes back and gut-shotted Muffet, cracking the sound barrier. Muffet coughed up blood and spit. Second Gear was already taxing on her, she knew her body would be super sore and worn after she deactivated it.

Verde took his triumphant blow to finally be able to breathe, he was exhausted. His reaction time wasn't as fast, nor was his reflexes, Muffet had worn him out completely during their high-speed brawl.

Muffet was worn and hurt too. Exhausted as well. Her body was already weakened before that full power blow and with the taxation on her body, she felt tight.

However, she stood her ground in front of him. Both of them are too tired to move.

"You spend your time up here, judging and killing those who aren't worthy of passing...BUT WHO MADE YOU WORTHY OF JUDGING, TO BEGIN WITH!"

Muffet leaned back, cocking all six arms back. Verde didn't expect her to have enough energy to even launch an attack this soon.

"IF YOU WON'T LET US THROUGH THE GRAND LINE, THEN ILL MAKE MY OWN ENTRANCE, BY REMOVING YOU ENTIRELY...GUM GUM!"

Verde tried to block in time, but he was too exhausted to move. Even if he could move, her attacks were faster than him by such a grand margin, she could hit him and he wouldn't have realized she did.

"MACH SPIDER RAILGUN...AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

Muffet used all six of her arms to send high-speed punches many times mach towards Verde. She screamed to give herself the adrenaline to keep ongoing. Her Perseverance making each punch stronger than the last.

The punches were seemingly teleporting to his body, then back to her arm, and then back to his body. Each of her punches creates vicious sonic booms, making ring clouds around where her punches start and end.

Verde faded out as he was nailed by over a thousand punches, maybe even tens of thousands in only a minute of her attack.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH"

"GO MUFFET!"

Her crewmates rooted for her.

"GO SPIDER LADY!"

MewMew's subordinates, rooted for her too.

"Graah!"

Even Fuhu was watching from the ship and started barking happily.

"GRAAAAAAHHHHHHH! AGH!"

Muffet finished her Mach Spider Railgun attack, and the roof of the pyramid was blown off as a result. Many tons of compressed and thick emerald was shredded by her punches.

Verde laid there, on his death bed, at the mercy of Muffet. His body was on the verge of shattering.

"Just...kill me...you earned it-"

"NO! I PROMISED TO HERA, TO MYSELF, AND TO MY CREW THAT ID END THIS ON MY TERMS! UNDYNE, NOW!"

Undyne was waiting for her cue, granted, back on the ship when Muffet proposed this combo attack, she wasn't sure it would work.

But maybe with this "Second Gear", it was possible.

She created a board of bidents and sent it to carry away Muffet.

Before the bidents could get to her, Muffet latched onto the mountain behind the pyramid. She dug her fingers deep in there for better leverage.

The board of bidents picked her up and flew her to the clouds, beyond the clouds, and over the Grand Line. Her arms were on the brink of snapping, but her indestructible arms made it possible to bear.

Everyone was wondering what Muffet was doing.

Undyne dematerialized the bidents, making Muffet plummet back to the mountains and the Grand Line's border blockading mountains. She spun her legs vertically as she came down, making her legs stretch out more the more she spun.

Eventually spanning the length of the lined up mountain ranges and even the mountains of the Grand Line walls.

Everyone grew wide-eyed, even Verde. He knew this girl was crazy, but she was truly insane. He was in the attack's flight path.

"I swear to god! If I'll break his body with the Grand Line to prove him wrong! I'll do it with my fucking legs out of spite to make sure he knows I don't need hands to beat him. I'll fucking break his body in half if I have to..."

"GUM GUM! SPIDER BUZZSAW!"

Her legs cleaved the Grand Line and the mountain ranges that led up to Verde's body with a ferocious ax kick that kept on spinning through the mountains, acting as a true buzzsaw.

"AAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!"

Verde laughed right before her buzzsaw leg shattered his body into dust. However, she kept going, cleaving the mountains and the Grand Line East Blue wall making an opening for them to sail through. The mountain range was split in half because of this infamous buzz saw move.

Susie raised her hand towards Muffet, stopping her from destroying the entire island. Susie's Gravity ability seemed to be quite useful.

Muffet's transformation ran out of steam and she fell limp. She gave her crewmates a thumbs up.

Everyone's mouths were gaped open. They witnessed their captain cut through tons and miles of emeralds and stone that reached the clouds...with rubber!

Now, they just had to sail through the opening Muffet forcefully made in the Grand Line to enter it.

Everyone was quite certain that no one has ever done this before in the history of pirates.

Everyone rushed to Muffet. Undyne, Susie, and Nidus.

When they got to her they tackled her with affection.

"You were awesome! We did it!"

They started rolling around on each other before they quickly stopped because they were all still really hurt.

"Wait, where's MewMew and Ralsei? Were they able to deactivate Gaia and save Hera?"

Undyne shrugged her shoulders.

"Agh, I'm sure they're fine-!"

A giant explosion was heard and everyone was immediately covered by a shadow.

The Soul Parlour Crew looked up and saw a giant stone Golem Lady with a glowing mouth and eyes. It glowed green as her insides were just green energy. Her hair was entirely made out of leaves and vines and she didn't look friendly.

Susie was the first to speak.

"What is that?! Did we miss one Golem?!"

They saw Ralsei run to the group, holding Hera, unconscious in her arms. MewMew was nowhere to be found.

The hole in the ground that the golem lady was in, seemed to be where the Catacombs was.

Nidus gulped.

"That's not just another golem...that's Gaia...!"

Everyone's expression dropped.

Ralsei got to the group with extreme stress and worry on her face.

"Come on- we gotta go!"

She spoke fast and panicky.

Undyne shook her.

"Ralsei! RALSEI! What the fuck happened down there?!"

Ralsei looked around frantically.

"I only had time to save one of them! I chose Hera thinking that we can handle Gaia and calm her down. But when I looked at the documents for her, she was made by, get this, god damn Vortanya in her image!"

This was news to everyone. Ralsei spoke absurdly fast but everyone understood what she said.

"Guess what?! Forget Verde- Gaia was built not only to kill the Admirals, but she is around their strength as well. We don't stand a chance!"

Everyone quickly got on their feet, even though their bodies ached, they could tank it if it meant escaping from Gaia.

Muffet crossed her arms.

"Maybe, she's friendly!"

Gaia shot a green laser beam the size of a train out of both her eyes at an island way over in the distance. The island exploded and disintegrated on the spot. It left a giant mushroom cloud where it stood.

"Nevermind! Nevermind!"

Every party involved ran to their ships as fast as they could.

"Wait, what about my hat?! I have to go back!"

Muffet turned around to see Gaia look down at the hole she was in.

"Don't be stupid, we'll at least wait till she leaves, we can't risk going back now! We are all too weak from battle!"

As soon as Susie finished that statement, Gaia charged up a blast at the hole.

"...No..."

Muffet's jaw dropped. Her hat was in there, she knew it was.

Gaia shot a laser from her mouth and blew up half of the Peninsula, the side that had MewMew's ship had all the men on it. They were safe. Muffet's side was safe from the blast but...

Muffet fell to her knees...

"Frisk's hat...no..."

Undyne picked up Muffet and hauled her over her shoulder. They couldn't afford to stick around and grovel.

They watched, as they were running, Gaia's lower half was completely disintegrated. However, seeming like Gaia couldn't get any more powerful, her legs regrew pretty quickly and stood up again, this time being able to move. Her head was touching the clouds, she was that tall.

Nidus remembered a key part.

"Wait ma'am, where's mistress MewMew?!"

Everyone looked at Ralsei when he asked that.

Ralsei was already crying hard before he even asked that question.

"S-she was down there, she said that she had to do something and get something...and Gaia blew that room to smithereens...!"

Everyone's mood changed drastically, they looked back to where the location of the catacombs was and saw it was annihilated.

"Fuck! She was a good...gaahh!"

Susie and Undyne couldn't express their hate-filled grief.

Part of Muffet left her when she heard that...she had lost Frisk's hat and Frisk's bond sister. She hated herself from the bottom of her heart.

As if it couldn't get any worse. Gaia noticed them and started to run after them.

Everyone screamed in fright as they were almost to the ship, Gaia was gaining fairly quickly because of her height and strength.

Gaia jumped up and was planning on stomping on the entire crew. Everyone didn't have the energy to repel or block the attack. They prayed that she would fall or something of the sort.

Her feet were about to stomp on them, they wouldn't be able to make it to the ship in time.

Everyone screamed for help...

But somebody came...

"You know, I'm glad I didn't use this earlier. Behold my ultimate move, Mad Mew Ball!"

Just then, an explosion that, not only, knocked everyone onto the ship happened, but the explosion was strong enough to push Gaia back and destroy a good portion of rock on her quads.

Everyone rubbed their heads in pain but was awoken by disbelief. They looked off the railing to see what the hell happened.

They saw the pink catgirl descending from the sky in a proud stance.

"MEWMEW?!"

Everyone happily cried in disbelief.

"Thank god that room led to a secret exit out the East Side of the island."

Hera was placed down on the grass of the Field of Hopes and Dreams. Everyone else was happy to know that MewMew miraculously made it out okay.

MewMew's flight ran out and she landed on the ship.

"I'm glad you're okay Mew girl!"

Muffet hugged her, the weight on her back was lessened...but it still ached for the hat.

MewMew wanted to correct her but she just let the moment sit in.

"Same here, I'm glad everyone won their battle, even someone as glamorous as I did...but bad news, uh, I uh, don't have any more city busting bombs left...hehe?"

Everyone nodded and glanced back at Gaia who was patiently tapping her finger on her crossed forearms and tapping her foot.

"Heh! 'Least she has class."

Susie funnily remarked.

Gaia readied a laser beam from her mouth, but before she could shoot it, a red laser melted her head clean off.

Everyone was confused before footsteps landed behind them.

When they turned around, they saw a woman in glasses and a black cloak carrying Hera over her shoulders.

"Thank you guys, I'll be taking this."

Everyone tried to get into a stance to fight her, but they were too weak and quickly gave up.

"Who are you?! Where are you taking her?"

The woman in the cloak turned around to them in a tired manner.

"I'm Mariposa Marigold, 3rd in command of the Revolutionary Army, in charge of the Ancient Weapon apprehension plan...I'm off my shift today."

Everyone was in even more disbelief. Why was she here now?!

"I was searching for this little girl for almost a week, but then I saw that you guys were trying to harbor TWO of them. Granted, I was only ordered to capture just Hera."

Gaia got back up and tried to destroy the ship.

Marigold quickly cast a tractor beam on Gaia and pushed her away from a good distance. Everyone was now scared of this lady.

"Look dearie~ Hera is not as bad as you think. You don't know what she has been through."

Muffet tried to talk Marigold out of her next action.

Mariposa seemed pissed at that remark and took off her cloak, showing a "NO. 3.5" on her collarbone.

"Oh trust me I do...but enlighten me, why should I let this dirty barnacle go? You have thirty seconds to convince me. In thirty seconds that's when Gaia gets back and I won't stop her."

Everyone gulped.

Nidus was the one to speak up.

"You see m'lady, Hera is a reformed Ancient Weapon, just like you. They probably sent you out here in danger of what she can do, but these ladies have apprehended and changed her to not want to cause havoc. If you want a dangerous Ancient Weapon to apprehend, then take Gaia, as you can see she is currently rampaging. And also, she is if a higher caliber than Hera, your boss would have praised our even given a promotion if you do get Gaia instead."

Everyone looked at Nidus and gave him mental props. Couldn't have said better in a time crunch than themselves.

Gaia was close, Marigold did the same thing.

"Aight, now you have 15 seconds to give me another reason, I'm leaning towards a maybe..."

She spotted Muffet and squinted...she sighed and tossed Gaia further away. Even Gaia sounded annoyed at Marigold's Devil Fruit ability.

"You're Sans' sister arent'cha? If I let you die I wouldn't hear the end of it...and this bird guy does make sense...look. I'm willing to cut a deal with you."

Everyone humbly nodded.

"I'll give you three months if Hera causes something newsworthy and in a negative light, I'll come back and take her, and if anyone of you tries to stop me, I'll kill you on the spot. However, in three months, if she is a saint and does nothing bad, I'll leave her alone forever. Deal?"

Everyone nodded very fast as they feared Gaia might shoot another blast. They would do anything to not fight Gaia at all.

Marigold slowly placed down Hera softly and looked at her. She then slowly walked to pick up her cloak and went towards the edge of the ship where Gaia was approaching.

The sun was rising, the island started to submerge again, the force of the island sinking made a ripple in the ocean that pushed the ship along.

Muffet went up to Marigold before she could leave and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"You're a nice woman, make it out of this alive please, I want to fight you one day, you seem strong!"

Marigold looked down at her.

"You're so much different from your brother...hehehe, sure kiddo. Maybe you'll see me at The Archipelago down the road."

Marigold smiled at her and flew off to fight Gaia, as the island submerged, the sun kept on rising. Everyone on the ship went to their positions and help the ship flow on the correct path to the opening in the Grand Line that Muffet made.

MewMew looked at all the mayhem that was created and tried to think about everything that had just transpired within the past day. She smiled to herself and looked at Nidus.

"Hey, you not only saved me but these people as well. You're not so bad yourself."

Nidus looked at MewMew and kneeled.

"Please mistress, I don't deserve praise from you. I was just merely doing my part of the promise I made to the love of my life..."

MewMew was curious.

"What would that be?"

Nidus got up and stared at the sun rising.

"Show chivalry and courtesy to every woman I meet..."

The crew, as they were managing the sails and rudder, watched as Marigold was holding her own against Gaia, but Gaia was holding her own too. They didn't exactly know who would win.

They got to the opening Muffet made and was completely blinded to the fight.

They were safe now...finally. They kept sailing towards the Grand Line, MewMew's crew following behind their ship as they sailed.

They decided to let the ship flow for the rest of the voyage through the opening in the Grand Line.

This was a milestone for everyone on that ship. They started from nothing, and now there they were, about to become official big-time pirates. Because of Muffet, all that was possible.

They stood side by side, watching as the sun peaked over the mountains of the Grand Line and onto the Field of Hopes and Dreams.

MewMew, Nidus, Ralsei, Undyne, Susie, Fuhu, and Hera who was still unconscious.

At the front of the ship was Muffet, on the figurehead of the ship raising her arms to the sky.

"HELLO, DEARIES~ I AM HERE!"

Muffet exploded from the barrel, meeting Undyne for the first time.

.
.

"Will you join my crew Undyne?"

"Pssh, sure dork!"

"TO BECOME THE QUEEN OF THE PIRATES!"

Everyone felt inspired, they were about to enter these seas for a reason, they were proud to announce them.

MewMew held up her arms.

"To become a mighty Emporer!"

MewMew had flashbacks to the times she and Frisk had, the note he left, and her breakthrough in the catacombs.

Nidus held up his hands.

"To see my love Lillian again!"

Ralsei raised her fist.

"To be the number one doctor in Soul Energy!"

Ralsei had flashbacks to meeting Muffet and Undyne for the first time, and her breakthrough and fight against Marshall Bronzio.

Undyne raised her fist.

"To beat all the Admirals and reach a strength higher than my mom!"

Undyne had flashbacks to Muffet recruiting her and every major fight she has been in this far. And eventually, her mom and how she is always with her in her struggles.

Susie raised her fist.

"To read all the Rio Poneglyphs and free my best friend Kris!"

Susie had flashbacks to every Kris and her been through and her fights with her crew this far.

Fuhu just happily danced on the grass.

Then after their proud chant, they successfully made it to the Grand Line.

"WE DID IT!"

Everyone from both ships went ballistic, cheering and raving in a frenzy.

This started a new chapter of their lives.

.
.

Both ships were docked next to each other in the middle of the Grand Line's ocean.

"I guess this is goodbye...it was, decent, knowing y'all...I guess."

MewMew turned away from them as to not give away that she would miss them a lot.

Everyone gave her a well-deserved hug of appreciation.

"Thank you so much MewMew, if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have been able to do all that we did."

Ralsei reiterated.

Everyone nodded and agreed with her.

"Of course, someone as glamourous as myself would do nothing less! Shishishi~"

Muffet laughed with her.

"Huehuehue~"

"Shishishi~!"

Everyone shook their heads at those two.

Nidus kneeled in front of MewMew again.

"Would someone as glamorous as yourself want someone like me on board your ship?"

MewMew was surprised at his request...he was strong, stronger than her.

"Hmph, you were useful back there...can I start you off at First Commander?"

Nidus' eyes lit up in excitement.

Nidus nodded.

"I'm also an excellent chef! I'll cook you marvelous pleasantries madam."

Everyone laughed at how noble Nidus was.

Undyne nudged Muffet's shoulder.

"You know, we need a chef too, we should get one next."

Muffet immediately agreed.

Susie was catering to the weakened Hera.

"Let's be off then..."

MewMew detached her feet and gave them to Nidus. She grabbed Nidus by the waist so that she could fly him to her ship. But before she did, she turned her back to Muffet.

"Hey...what will you tell Frisk when he asks for the hat?"

Muffet looked down in shame.

"I'll... tell him that it was completely my fault...that I wasn't strong enough to keep it throughout my journey...I still feel like garbage about it. I promised him I'd give it back..."

MewMew still was unwavering, not looking at Muffet.

"If you had the hat now...will you take better care of it, and protect it with your life?"

Muffet clenched her fist and got even angrier with herself.

"Even more than my life, my soul and spirit too!"

MewMew turned around to her and smiled.

Just then, Muffet felt something cover her head. She looked up and saw spider-leg tassels...It was her hat!

"So now promise both Frisk and Me and that you'll take better care of it. Take care of it glamorously! Shishishi~"

Everyone was shocked that she managed to get the hat somehow.

Muffet jumped and hugged MewMew with not only her six arms but her legs.

"Thank you so much dearie~! How did you get it?!"

MewMew shrugged. Then she looked at Ralsei with a smirk.

Ralsei knew what that look meant.

"There's something I have to do in this room...I promised myself I'd do it..."

MewMew knew that's where the hat was stored, she saw it get tossed in there when she left the catacombs for the first time.

MewMew waved one final goodbye.

"May we see each other again Captain Muffet, I'll be stronger next time around! Though we may be far, the alliance still holds strong, no matter the distance!"

MewMew's ship cheered for her. She and Nidus flew to her ship and they sailed off in the opposite direction from Muffet's crew.

Muffet jumped and landed back on the figurehead.

"Alright crew! This is the Grand Line, nothing but stronger monsters and countries are up ahead, but I know we can overcome anything that comes our way...Ever since today, we've pushed back our limits and have gotten stronger as a whole. Those no chickening out now!"

Undyne, Ralsei, Susie, and Hera stood proud. They had officially gotten Hera to join the crew, she agreed to it since Gaia was free and that Marigold would only capture the Ancient Weapons, so she was fine with that outcome.

Hera joined the crew as their Musician and Navigator.

Muffet was excited to finally be on the Grand Line, their next set of wacky adventures starts now.

"IM MUFFET D. BAKER...AND I'LL BECOME QUEEN OF THE PIRATES!"
