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!
"So, fish guy-"
"Ares!"
"Yeah! How long till we arrive at the Mount Oliveness-"
"Mount Olympus!"
"Yeah!"
Muffet had been getting on Ares' nerves, Ralsei and Susie were just on their guard the entire time. They were traversing through the forest for quite a while, the giant epicenter of the country was still in sight.
However, one question lay on Susie's mind.
"Hey, bud. Uh, why specifically did we have to walk through the forest? I mean, the outer ring is supposed to be the not-so-wealthy of people, but they atleast have roads that lead us to the capital, so why not go through there."
She ducked to avoid being hit by a branch that Muffet swung to get by it. Ralsei knew none the wiser and got hit by the sheer girth and rebounding force of the branch. It sends her toppling through some of the roots on the ground, her glasses falling off her.
"Goddamnit Muffet!"
"Make sure to catch up Ralsei! Don't stray off too far."
Susie turned around to Ralsei, she kind of felt bad, but going back to help her would impede the progress they've been making. So she went on forward anyways.
Ralsei was busy searching on the ground for her glasses. She couldn't seem to grasp it anywhere. She, yet again, tripped, and her back laid flat on the ground. She just stayed there and grumbled to herself.
Just as she laid there, she heard rustling overhead, like something was aggressively moving through the leaves about her.
She didn't move, Ralsei just decided to wait till the noise was over.
That time finally came. She slowly got back up and continued searching for her glasses. For the life of her, she couldn't find them.
She could tell that the travel group was already far away from her and out of sight. There was slight rumbling in the trees next to her like something was circling her.
She cautiously moved around now, she wasn't sure if it was a squirrel or not. She was hoping it was a squirrel because if it was an attacker, she's not sure if she could defend herself, much less win.
She searched thoroughly for a few more minutes and finally felt her glasses. She chirped happily and quickly adjusted them back to her face.
However, upon putting them on, she felt an obscene warmth. It was naturally, but anomalously placed, they were in the middle of the forest, where was this scorching heat coming from?
Her eyes adjusted to the glasses, and immediately she saw Undyne. Her eyepatch was gone and her open socket was displayed to her. Her guard was raised immediately.
U-Undyne?!
Undyne was still gushing blood from her shoulder and seemed to be burnt in some areas. Undyne flipped her head towards Ralsei, as she was limp on the floor from the sea Prism bullet.
"Ralsei! Run-"
Just as Undyne uttered her first words a black dashing figure made its way from behind Ralsei.
She instinctively cast her Courage shield bubble and it successfully blocked the incoming attack. A loud thunk was heard coming from the dome.
Ralsei jumped in fear and turned around to see a woman that seemed to be in a casual cowgirl outfit. The boots, the hat, and she even had the array of weaponry attached to her hips and back.
In her hands was a sniper rifle that she slammed against her bubble with the butt-end.
She slammed again on it, it shook the dome, but Ralsei was persistent in keeping herself safe.
The girl looked at Undyne.
"I thought I told you to shut up, fish beast!"
The girl jumped on top of the dome and aimed her pistol at Undyne, she shoots at her left knee cap, another sea prism bullet. Undyne growled in pain.
"Any more talk and the next one will get launched through your frontal lobe."
Shit shit shit! We shouldn't have gone here ! She got Undyne...What happened to Hera?! Did...no...
The cowgirl looked down at Ralsei and smiled.
She took out her two shotguns and aimed at her bubble. She coated her arms and shotguns in Armament Haki.
Ralsei gulped, she then coated her bubble in Armament Haki too.
The girl started to let loose onto the dome, unleashing all her slug shots into the darkened bubble in hopes to break it.
Each blow, cause more physical strain on Ralsei's body.
The poor goat girl flinched every shot, she felt her bubble getting weaker. Then suddenly, the girl stopped.
The girl hopped down in front of the bubble and started to cackle.
"The weaker the crewmates, for some reason, the harder it is for me to capture them...names Cassidy by the way. I feel like I should mention that."
The girl spoke with no malice nor aggression. She was a girl committed to her job, or at least, was eagerly waiting for what the payoff was.
Ralsei raised her brow.
"Cassidy...why are you doing this?! Who put you up to-"
Cassidy shot her shotgun at her bubble again, it back Ralsei fall on her bottom. The bubble was weak but still, up, her muscles were feeling quite strained.
"You don't get to talk. No one gets to talk. I like working in silence and uninterrupted. I'll be doing the questioning around here."
Ralsei had no choice but to follow this girl's plan.
"So, in the news, you and your crew caused quite the commotion at the Emerald Peninsula, a once a 500-year spot. Now, it's inhabitable for the rest of time...However, no one knows the true story."
Undyne and Ralsei eyed each other, and then looked at Cassidy confused as she reloaded all her bullets and reholstered her guns. She was now talking with clear hands.
"My...client, promised that he'd find a way to make my home nice and sound on the Peninsula, a piece of land to myself for my hard work...Now it's gone."
The longer she spoke, the more her words had a bit of a hiss and bloodlust to it. She was now seething with rage.
There was that same unnatural warmth again, Ralsei didn't know where it was from.
Then, her questions were answered.
Cassidy's arms slowly began to turn orange, becoming more and more dark and vicious until it was bubbling in chunky lumps. Her arms were just bubbly and viscous clumps of heat liquid.
"And I refuse to try the alternative."
She raised her heated arms and laid them on the bubble. Ralsei felt intense heat and faintness as a result.
What was she?
"Excuse me, usually before I kill my assigned targets, I usually tell them my schtick, as common courtesy. Yes, to answer the question in your head, I'm a Logia user. To be more specific, I'm a magma woman. I ate the Magma-Magma Fruit!"
Her fingers became to melt their way through the bubble, Ralsei was no longer concerned at the bubble. In fact, the goat woman was happy.
"Ha! 'assigned targets'? That means you do work for someone!"
Ralsei felt accomplished figuring out some portion of her own head-canon lore.
Cassidy furrowed her brows.
"I said- TO NOT TALK!"
Cassidy erupted her arms using the combination of pent-up heated energy and the rocks as the blunt makeshift shrapnel to the explosion. This caused Ralsei's bubble to break and knocking her a few feet back.
Ralsei equipped her Yo-Yo and coated it in Armament Haki. She knew she had to fight for her life, at least she was able to even touch Logias, but her strength made it inconsequential to the amount of damage she'd be dealing.
Cassidy reverted her arms to normal and quickdraw her pistols so fast it looks like as if they had spawned in her hands.
She shot two times at Ralsei, in retaliation, Ralsei swung her Yo-Yo in a 'X' pattern to deflect the bullets.
Ralsei looked over at Undyne, who just laid there, unable to speak, unable to move, and seemingly unable to look her in the eye.
She knew that this was harder for Undyne than it was herself.
She nodded, and then the goat girl made a break for it. She turned around and ran.
Cassidy grinned and took out her sniper. She clanked back the bullet into place and aimed down her sights.
This is so fucking pathetic ! I can't even protect Fuhu, our ship, Ralsei...not even Hera...Even my socket is cold with embarrassment . I know Muffet is going to be so mad at me...
Cassidy took a deep breath and shot.
BANG!
"AGH-!"
Ralsei was shot in the leg, more specifically, her femur. She instantly fell to the ground.
Cassidy took her time walking over to the fallen Ralsei.
The goat girl turned over to see the red figure walking closer to her. She started to use her arms to crawl away from her.
"W-what did you do to the people back at the ship?!"
Cassidy smiled.
"Well, it should be at the bottom of the sea by now, and as for your members, I only got Undyne so don't worry...Now. Soon I would have successfully hunted the rest of your crew."
Cassidy pointed a shotgun to her head. And slowly added more force onto the trigger.
Ralsei felt her heart tug at the mention of the boat being destroyed.
But that didn't matter to her.
"What about Hera?!"
Cassidy stopped.
Then suddenly, her hand started shaking.
"W-what."
Ralsei flinched at his vulnerable she sounded. The goat woman looked her dead in the face and saw a face of...regret?
"The little girl! What did you do to her?! Hera!"
Cassidy holstered the weapon.
"I-I domed her with a sniper round then lit her on fire! But...is this Hera...the Hera that was revealed to be an ancient weapon?"
Ralsei's heart was conflicted with a lot of emotions that her adrenaline was suppressing. The death of the ship, Fuhu, and Hera was still aching her heart.
"Yes! Why?!"
Cassidy stepped back in fear.
"Oh shit! This ain't good, this ain't good!"
The girl started to walk back and forth anxiously.
Undyne listened to all of this in a cold sweat.
Hera...
Undyne was officially out of her element. She disassociated herself from her surrounding out of pure thought and worries thoughts.
Just then, Cassidy's pants started to vibrate.
She reached into her pocket and pulled out a transponder snail that looked like the person it belongs to, had worn a lot of makeup.
"This is Operative Aphrodite, I was originally sent on a separate mission from Operative Hermes in secrecy, but I was issued new orders from Mr. Hydra!"
Cassidy listened thoroughly.
"Hermes is dead. We have new matters on our hands. Tell the boss that Hera was just a myth, she's here to fulfill the prophecy!"
There was silence. Ralsei didn't know what any of this meant. There were more?!
"Understood! Boss wants me to interrogate the goat woman! He said to continue the hunt with the other two while I handle this!"
Cassidy froze in thought.
"Uh, sure. Whatever. Goodbye!"
Cassidy sighed and looked back at Ralsei who was bleeding out.
"This is truly a slippery slope for the both of us ain't it?"
