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!

Hydra in his animal form peered over Muffet with his overwhelming size.

He knew that if he hadn't transformed sooner, then he was probably going to lose that encounter. This spider girl was a scary lot.

Hydra recalled back to when he caught wind of the Spider Clan wipeout event. He was only a young adult at the time, still sailing the seas in the new world. He hadn't known much about the spider clan and why the government went to great lengths to ensure no more of them would breed.

His seeing Muffet, made him realize just how frightening a spider clan member is. And she wasn't even lifting like she was supposed to, or a mature adult yet. That being said, she was still overwhelmingly physically strong with or without her Devil Fruit.

Muffet had the potential to become a threat so much greater than himself, and he knew that.

He prepared his counterattack. Watching her next move.

Muffet, using Third and Second Gear simultaneously, felt the immediate toll on her body. However, she has survived much worse.

"Serpent Driver!"

"Mach Giant Spider Magnum!"

Muffet stretched back her inflated six arms and shot them forward with clenched fists, with the speed of Second Gear. All the blows connected onto him, he was caught off guard by the speed compared to the size of the attack.

His pupils were close to fading out and deep bludgeoning marks were left all over his Hydra body as he was sent back kilometers away.

Seemingly endless blood was shooting us from his orifices.

Muffet only sucked in air through her teeth as that attack took a lot out of her. Rapidly using gear second with the concentration of her Soul Ability was enough as it is. Now she had to mix that with her new Gear Mode that she had just developed and hadn't had time to train.

This fight was not going well in her favor.

She still hadn't figured out how to kill someone who can't die.

Hydra, slowly getting up after taking that tremendous blow, charged up a glowing blue blast in his mouth. She could tell that it was probably concentrated and pressurized water forming from its glands.

She quickly retracted her Third Gear arms and deflated them. She wanted to dodge this attack, which is something that Third Gear didn't allow.

For now, it was a glass cannon transformation.

She kept up Second Gear throughout the forest. Hydra shot his pressurized water beam from his mouth. It made an alarmingly loud boom. She could assume that not only the shooting of that water creates a sonic boom, but the impact of it leaves a pretty hot and devastating crater.

She assumed so because the impact it made on the ground behind her as she was dashing, shook the ground with how strong it was. The vibrations alone were enough to crumble houses.

She dashed and sprinted along with the trees, buying herself time to find a weakness or an opening on this guy. He was huge with his Hydra form. Being around 50 meters long and 50 meters wide, with a shocking 60 meters tall.

Muffet thought to herself.

If there is a King in this country...then where is he? Why isn't he stopping this?!

The booms and quakes of the land were becoming more and more apparent. She couldn't approach Hydra from any angle because all of his nine heads had that covered.

She looked up and noticed that the staircase that leads to another part of the country seems to not have any problems with this. Nor can they see.

It's as if they don't care what happens to the people at the bottom...

"You can run, but eventually you'll have to fight me!" Hydra said as he shot another pressurized blast.

Muffet jumped in the air as he did, and blew into her upper right hand's thumb. Creating Third Gear only for that arm.

"Gear Third! Gum-Gum Giant Mach Spider..."

Muffet stretched back her arm as far as she could with her gigantic arm. She made sure to add spin to it so that her arm and forearm were twisted in a spiral.

"-Drill!"

Muffet launched her attack at Hydra, the spin making it rougher on impact and harder to brush off.

At this point, the locals that were seeing these two giant beings fighting were almost caught in awe at this spectacle.

An arrange of assorted expanded limbs fighting a several-headed dragon. Everyone that was on the lower part of Constricta was watching the fight now.

Her fist's attack made ear-piercing wind cuts as it was spinning with the speed and mass as if it was an actual drill.

Hydra knew her attack potency was higher than his. Now he would only have to stress about the defense difference.

All nine of Hydra's heads charged up a pressurized water blast in their mouth and shot it around the time her fist would make its way.

"Take this spider girl! Aqua Departure!"

All the blasts shot off and connected into one giant ball of condensed and fast traveling water.

The blast and Muffet's giant fist connected. The connection sent a ripple along with the land and sent a massive tremor below the impact point. In the blasted forest, the inhabitants were all blown away as these two behemoths fought in the dark.

The wind howling, the wildlife fleeing, even fights that were currently happening paused to pay homage to the fight taking place.

The moon rose over their battle.

Susie, Cassidy, Ronaldo, and Christie stopped their bout to witness the fight taking place.

Undyne was peering through a mysterious portal to witness the fighting happening.

Ralsei was still roaming the dark in her Sulong form.

And Hera was nowhere to be seen.

"AAAAAAAAHHHH!"

"Die Spider Girl! Let all of your work be for nothing! Witness the power of the title called Warlord!"

Muffet and Hydra gave it their all until the bitter end. Then...

She ran out of steam, her Third and Second Gear went away. Leaving her to be blasted directly by the blast and sent barreling into the steps of the staircase that leads to the upper part of Constricta.

Muffet...lost.

Her pupils were faded out and blood was heavily appearing over her heavily bruised body. Her body seemingly has darker purple rashes and bumps all over her body. A missing tooth was apparent too.

Blood was streaming down her head, mouth, and chest.

Hydra scoffed and walked to her while still in his Hydra form.

"I told you, you should've joined me so that your friends would've been safe from me. Now we can't have that. I hope your secrets stay with you at the bottom of the sea!"

Hydra picked her up by his mouth and tossed her over back the way she came and into the ocean, the Grand Line.

Susie's mouth was gaped open.

Hydra laughed hysterically as his victory went finally to fruition. As strong as Muffet was, at the end of the day, he was a Warlord. This was as all things should be.

Muffet's battered body flew over the landscape and was nearing the coastline. That blast she took directly inflicted pains she didn't even know existed. It was blunt, burning, freezing, acidic, all at the same time. She couldn't defend herself from it.

Now all that was left was for her to hit the ocean and drown to the bottom of the sea.

Before she was able to hit the water, a portal opened up in her trajectory and snatched her. Hydra witnessed this and questioned it. From what he learned about their group before they docked, was the fact that they didn't have any portal-like abilities.

So as confused as he was, since he knew the person that created the portal wasn't an ally, he didn't care what happened.

He reverted to his human form. He was now naked for the most part but quickly thickened his scales to make a form of chainmail pants. He managed to find his earpiece that he was using to communicate to his subordinates, but most importantly, Cassidy, Artemis, his right-hand woman.

He was still somewhat out of breath, that first Third Gear attack she did took all he had to regen from it and stand.

"This is Hydra to Artemis, rally up the members that were hunted so far and bring them back to base, over..."

He waited for her to pick up the phone. She took...longer than usual to reply.

"I said this is Hydra! Report in- Artemis!"

She still didn't respond.

"ARTEMIS!"

A rustling of bushes was heard around him. He stopped using his earpiece but was still concerned with the whereabouts of Cassidy.

What happened to her?

He sighed.

"If you're going to attack me, do it now, tired and all I'll still kill all of you."

There was a brief silence. The tension was in the air. So was the sense of mutual bloodlust.

Appearing out of the bushes, sprang Christie Callegard. Charging up a right hook by compacting her arm like a spring.

Appearing from behind him, was Susie. She has her war hammer positioned over her head for a vertical slam.

Hydra took a deep breath and flexed his arms as hard as he could. He caught both Christie's punch and Susie's hammer mid-strike.

"So, her crewmate, and a government dog went to go claim my head while I was weakened. Can I safely assume that Cassidy has been killed?"

Susie grinned with blood on her clothes and face. She looked completely worn.

"Yes, I guess you can say that!"

She continued the commitment on her swing. Christie scoffed.

"What is your plan here Hydra Gordons?! Why do you even want this country?!"

Hydra looked her in the eye as he strengthened his grip on her hand. He then began to laugh deeply and hysterically.

"I want the land of course! The throne and all! Seeing all the malice the minks have suffered through in this country has gotten me fed up with the human populous!"

Susie and Christie both were still puzzled by his words. Their tension for some reason lessened.

"The humans are what is the problem here! If I can become King of this country, I can change the lives of all the Minks here! I've waited too damn long, now it's time to get results by force! Since I'm a Warlord, I can't be going around causing Regicides. However, that's why I've tried to do things in the shadows!"

Their grips lessened.

They realized that he was making sense. And that he was somewhat noble with his causes. Say what you want, but they knew that Hydra was a man of passion and purpose in his actions.

"We understand," Christie said, "But for plots against the King and associated murders, you're under arrest!"

Hydra shifted his eyes at both of them and jerk his body so that he flung both of them in opposite directions. Susie hit her back on a tree while Christie compacted her legs so that they sprang off the wall on impact.

She then attempted the same punch from before. With Armament Haki on it.

Hydra scoffed and charged up a left hook. Their fist collided and caused a shockwave that ended in Christie being sent back and hitting her back on a tree.

That same punch, however, made Hydra's whole left arm shattered.

This girl is...as strong as the spider one! He thought.

Both girls were already battered by their fight from earlier. They thought that Muffet left him damaged enough for them to clean up.

Now they realized that he was simply another tier.

Both girls begrudgingly got up. Hydra was slowly regenerating his left arm.

"Now let me show you, two ladies, why they call me the Shadow King!"

Susie and Christie widened their eyes as they saw Hydra go through another transformation. This time, it wasn't a full-on hydra. Instead, it was a mixture of both.

His body got more brolic, his scales became thicker as his chest and stomach became the same kind of color and texture as the under part of a regular Hydra. He grew a tail and sharper claws on both his hands and feet. His eyes were void of any pupils.

His teeth were sharper too, he grew in size by a couple of feet. Standing at a whopping 9 feet tall.

Christie and Susie didn't know what to do in this situation.

Susie...stepped back.

Christie...stepped forward.

"Transformation or not-! I'm still going to kick your ass! On behalf of the World Government...and G.U.N!"

"Christie...don't hold back..."

Christie remembered Grillby's request clearly. She got into a crouched position, arms bent to her side. Her eye peaked into a Navy Blue and her aura turned from yellow from Justice to blue due to her Devil Fruit Awakening, which mixed and turned into green.

"With my Devil Fruit Awakening...I can turn ANYTHING into a spring! Meaning my arteries and veins!"

Susie stepped back again. Then, she ran away. Into the forest.

And didn't look back.

Hydra scoffed.

"And what is this display supposed to show me? What resolve do you even have?!"

Christie smirked!

"I, CHRISTIE CALLEGARD, WANT TO BE THE QUEEN OF THE WORLD!

.

GEAR SECOND!"
