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

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

"Where did you hide all your treasure?!"

To which the King of Pirates smiled and said:

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

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

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

The UnderPiece!

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

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

Muffet was sitting on the figurehead, like always, peering off in front of her. She always wanted to be the first at spotting a new island or just a piece of land in general.

Everyone was in their normal color-coordinated winter jackets, it was reaching the peak of winter. It was about to be December, the winds were chilling and harsh, and it didn't favor Muffet, because the cold not only was her counter as a spider person, but her Devil Fruit's weakness was any kind of cold.

Susie kept the hairstyle, this day was the day they'd embark on the country of Constricta, a large piece of land that was mostly a mossy ruin.

People of old ways, tribal ways, lived there, however, for some reason, this was the place the World Government would send a diplomat to go speak to their crew.

It was unknown why this country, and why now. However, after the Emerald Peninsula, they hadn't stopped at a single island, which had meant that they were running short on supplies.

Undyne refused to go fishing, for obvious reasons.

Ralsei was on the port, next to the Parlour, scoping their backside so that they don't get ambushed from behind. They had to be sure that this wasn't some ploy by the government officials to nab their entire crew.

There was no sight of any Navy Ship, she nodded and looked back to Susie, who was helping Hera with the packaging for their expedition.

"Everyone, it's clear!"

Everyone turned back to her and nodded.

Undyne hopped down from the lookout and took Bonetrousle with her. She would never go on an expedition without it.

As training for her Haki, she would have both her Determination Armor and Armament Haki on it the entire trip. She would try to be better with her new weapon.

Muffet folded her arms and grinned as she saw a silhouette of the country in front of her.

"Oi! Dearies~! Land is up ahead! Huehuehue~!"

Everyone caught wind of their captain's statement and glanced upon the silhouette for themselves, they all excitedly gathered behind Muffet.

Fuhu drooled in excitement at everyone's response.

Ralsei sighed.

"Welp, now that we're here, Susie, care to fill us in before I say what I need to say?"

Susie looked at Hera and they both nodded. Susie and Hera were both the keys to landmarks, Hera could track any island, while Susie knew the history of most of the islands in the world.

"This Kingdom is much larger than the Peninsula, it's been known to be mostly primitive and stone-based, except for the capital, where it's made out of magical runes that leads to a mountain made out of quartz. And no one knows what awaits at the top."

Everyone took a mental note.

"Which means, no use of our soul abilities or Haki. Undyne, you're fine cause you can play it off like its armor, for the rest of us, we have to restrain ourselves as to not freak out and get witch-trialed by the natives. Not that we have a reason to raise our guards...or so I hope."

The more islands they visited, the more this kind of talk was needed, even Muffet started to listen. She wanted to make sure not to make any mistakes as a Captain.

Hera came to chime in her input, in her fitting light blue winter clothes that comprised of a light blue jacket and sweatpants.

"I'm picking up frequencies that claim that the island is true, stone-based. No surprise elemental or environmental dangers ahead."

Everyone smiled whenever Hera contributed like this, they always feel assured knowing that Hera wasn't always this clumsy little girl.

"That's my girl!"

Undyne noogied her with passion, Hera was giggling happily.

Ralsei chuckled to herself before handing out everyone a thick vial pertaining to a different color.

"These are all large samples of Soul Boost. Even though it may seem in the clear, we still can't rule out that the World Government isn't plotting something. These are cautionary measures...that being said-"

Ralsei pulled out a cup of straws. Everyone circled around.

Everyone groaned.

They hated this game.

"Although we have Fuhu guarding the ship, we are in the Grand Line now, we can't make Fuhu our only defense for the ship. Muffet is excluded from this poll session since she is needed on the island. The person to draw the straw with a mark at the end will be the one to look after the ship."

Muffet air pumped herself in excitement, she hated being the one to guard the ship, nothing exciting ever happened.

The rest of the crew drew straws.

They flinched as they all peered at their straws at the exact same time.

And the person to stay on the ship was...

"Ugh-! This sucks!"

Undyne sat down on the ship with a pout.

Everyone laughed at her misfortune, except for Hera.

"If mommy's staying, I'm staying!"

Hera folded her arms and sat on Undyne's lap.

Everyone else shrugged.

"I guess the more the merrier?" Ralsei said confused.

Muffet punched her two sets of fists together.

"Huehuehue~ Guess it's us three! Kinda reminds me of Yetera it was us three on a similarly cold setting with a monument in the middle! Fun times, right?"

Susie and Ralsei both punched Muffet over her head as their response.

As Muffet was holding her head in pain, Susie turned around to Undyne and Hera, who was booping noses with her.

God that's so cute!

"So, uh, stay safe, don't die, and if something happens-"

Undyne already knew what to reply with before she can finish.

"If something happens, I'll toss a bident in the air like a flare. I'll toss two if it means it's something good."

Susie nodded.

The country came into a clearer view through the thick amounts of mist. Eventually, they got to see the country in its bare form. It consisted of mostly brimstone-like grey ashy rocky terrain and vines.

Stonehenge was littered throughout the coastline, and they could barely make out a forest of black trees beyond the Stonehenge.

This place looked dead.

"Not the warmest of welcomes, but what the hell."

Susie placed her arms at her waist, grinning to herself at her own remark.

"So how do you propose we get to land?"

Susie and Ralsei felt a slight tug at their waist, they looked down and realized the trap they've set themselves in. It was Muffet's arms...which only meant one thing...

"GUM GUM-!"

Susie and Ralsei were already in tears, their pupils vanished through shock and disbelief.

"NONONONONONONO-!"

They swiftly tried to wiggle themselves out of her bind, they couldn't.

"SPIDER MISSILE!"

"AHHHHHHHhhh..."

Muffet slingshotted herself and her two expedition pals through the misty air and into Constricta. All that could be heard were Ralsei and Susie's screams in the distance as they slowly fade away.

Undyne shrugged.

"You know what, I'm glad we stayed. We get to have some mother-daughter time!"

Hera got up and started to clap her hands excitedly.

"Ooh Ooh Ooh! What can we do?"

"Uh..."

Realistically, there was nothing on the ship they could do besides sing, Hera was also the ship's musician.

"Apprehend your ship Muffet D. Baker of the Soul Parlour Pirates!"

Both of them flicked their heads as an armada of pirate ships was heading in their direction from their left. They seem to alk affiliated under the same crew, but none of them seemed to have their captain on board.

This meant to Undyne from pirate hunting experience, that their Captain is most like a figurehead on some other land, which could only mean that their captain is a Warlord.

But why would a Warlord be here?

And how did they know they'd be here?

Those questions, Undyne quickly chalked up to be not important into future evidence.

"We could kick the hell out of these bad guys? What do you say?"

Hera got excited.

"Hell yeah! Can I take two ships this time?"

Undyne patted Hera on the head.

"No no sweetie, once you're older, then I'll think about it, Gwehehe!"

Hera pouted impatiently, and Undyne noticed. Her inner mother's worry came out.

"How about this, you get to pick which ship you want to attack?"

Hera tapped her chin and looked upon the three incoming ships, she noticed that the middle one had a person who definitely wasn't the main leader, but not a fodder enemy either.

It was a man with wings on his greaves. He wore all white clothing except for his golden greaves and fleece. He had a thin golden crown that resembled an olive branch. He seems to be of slim fit build.

Hera pointed at the middle ship.

"That one!"

Undyne chuckled and patted her head.

"Good eye! I was eyeing that guy too, but a promise is a promise. Now let's show these idiots why you don't mess with the Undying family!"

.
.

"Ah! Huehuehue~ That wasn't that bad, right dearies~"

Susie and Ralsei punched her over the head again. Muffet squatted and covered her head in pain, there were two lumps over her head.

The impact made her Onyx spider necklace and earrings sway and glisten.

"Susie."

Ralsei demanded.

"Got it!"

Susie widened her stance. She can see a whole lot better due to her new haircut, but she still needed more assistance surveying the area.

The area around them was still heavy with mist and fog, the trees look more withered up close, everything here seemed devoid of water.

The grass was scarce, it was in blades of three and scattered across the purple and grey sullen mud and sod. It feels like they had entered a graveyard.

Why would the World Government request our arrival here of all places...Whatevs.

"Justice Form Number Nine! Sins Scanner!"

A wave of yellow scanned the surrounding area to see if there was anybody around. There was not a single soul around.

"Well, that settles it I guess."

Muffet, who was still squatting on the floor, looked up to see something in front of them that was illuminating yellow because of Susie's ability.

"Whoa, a gun?"

Ralsei and Susie quickly batted their eye at her and saw her pick up a scorched gun. It looked as if there had been a battle here that ended in fire.

"Whoa! What happened here?!"

Ralsei was quite alarmed at this.

"Let's forget it, let's just go through the forest, this is the best way to get to the mountain."

Muffet and Ralsei looked at her puzzled, Susie was typically the sleuth. So for her to discredit any further investigation, was beyond them. She didn't even look interested.

"Do you think a battle happened here?"

It was quiet. No one responded to the question Ralsei asked.

"Not quite, but I'm glad you ladies are observant..." said a deep male voice.

Muffet, Ralsei, and Susie flicked their heads and saw that a man was sitting on one of the Stonehedge to their left.

He was a thick set of spiky burgundy hair. His skin tone was Navy blue. He wore a black suit with black gloves and complimentary black pants. He wore shades that were shaped like fish gills.

They all tensed up.

"Who are you?" Susie remarked.

The man flinched at her words as if he took offense to them.

He simply shifted his head towards her, and slowly tilted his shades downwards.

"I'm Ares Bellinger, I'm here to escort you to the meeting point. It's a pleasure meeting you three...but if I'm not mistaken, there should be another one of you...Ms. Undying?"

The three women looked at each other, they were skeptical, but this man spoke like he knew what he was talking about.

"She...couldn't make it!"

Susie blurted. Ralsei and Muffet looked at her strangely.

"She had to split with us on her own volition, it's just us for this meeting."

Ares nodded with hesitance, he couldn't disprove their claim. Just when he did, something in his pocket vibrated and a muffled voice was heard.

He looked...aggravated.

"Ah, then, let's get this tour out of the way. I'll take you to meet the king and the other officials of the World Government to discuss your duties."

He took an elegant and purposeful flip from the stone onto the depressing sod. He then walked in a straight path.

"Cocky fuck!"

Ralsei smacked Susie in the back of the head with her Yo-Yo.

"First of all, watch your mouth. Second of all, why did you lie about Undyne's location?"

Muffet walked past them.

"Simple dearies~ Susie doesn't want to give this man all of our information, in the off chance he's lying to us or deceiving us. That aside, I trust this man."

Susie and Ralsei gave a confused grunt.

"I don't know, but I can just tell that he's a strong man. He wouldn't harm a fly."

Muffet troded behind the man willingly, the other two crewmates followed her after a few seconds of thought. They were really going into this meeting blind.

One thing remained on Susie's mind.

I scanned the area...How did he get past my radar?
