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!

Ronaldo cleared his throat, watching one of the most deadly forces on the planet...be this confused little girl.

"Well, uh, you are Hera? The number four secret weapon on the planet. You're part of The Soul Parlor Pirates? Is the Captain being Muffet D. Baker? A spider woman?" He was questioning himself.

This was her, wasn't it?

Hera, who was still covered in web bandaging around her head and was still riding on Fuhu, just continued working on the ship. It was near completion.

Granted, sloppy work, but it was still viable.

"Doesn't ring a bell, except for the secret weapon part...do I have parents?" Hera said using her hands to reapply a bonding agent to the mast.

"That the navy is concerned of? No. You were scientifically made. How do you not remember this?"

Hera just tapped her chin.

"I don't know...Protocol: Reboot...Percentage...12%!" Hera said, her eyes glowing white as she said that.

Ronaldo was scared as to what that meant.

"Oh, it seems that two humans have entered our island. We don't want you here!" said a third-party voice.

Fuhu, Hera, and Ronaldo flicked their heads behind them towards the forest side.

They saw Minks of varying sizes approach from out of the trees with spears in hand. Two were dog Minks, there was one insanely big cat Mink, and two llama Minks. The dog Minks being women, the others being men.

Besides the big one, the other Minks we're roughly around Ronaldo's height, 5'10. The huge one was roughly around 12'0 and about seven feet wide.

Ronaldo scoffed.

"Listen! I'm part of the Navy! You can put down your weapons and-" Ronaldo tried to diplomat. However, mid-sentence, a gunshot was heard, he dodged to his left at the last second, he started to sweat nervously as it was a close call.

Hera noticed that and nodded. She kept a keen eye on Ronaldo.

The gunshot was from one of the Dog Minks, along with a spear she kept a standard homemade pistol.

"The Navy mean nothing to us here. They have claimed to help us more every year, and what do they do? They turn a blind eye when Zewz gives them hush money! Everyone but our fellow Minks are our enemies!" She said as she started to rush him.

Hera got off Fuhu and walked next to Ronaldo almost confidently.

It was nighttime. Her eyes proceeded to light up like a flashlight.

"Your power is small, the Minks get stronger with every moonrise, how do you plan on beating them? Do I perhaps lend you my assistance?" Hera said robotically.

Ronaldo scoffed.

"Someone obviously doesn't know about me nor my inescapable Devil Fruit!"

He was being flanked by both the dog Minks and the llama Minks. The cat stayed in the back.

"Siphon!" Ronaldo said as a wave of invisible force swept the area.

Once the wave reached the Minks, they felt weaker and tired. As if they had just finished fighting. Some knelt out of exhaustion.

Ronaldo, however, seemed more muscular than normal and even grew in height.

Hera scanned him again.

"Hm." She said intrigued.

One of the llama Minks looked up at Ronaldo while leaning.

"What was that?!"

Ronaldo just smiled and looked at his palm. The cat Mink was rushing him after noticing that his friends needed help.

"Well, in terms of a rarity in Devil Fruits...there are Zoans, Paramecias, Prehistoric Zoans, Special Paramecias, Logias, Mythical Zoans, and then Gencios. I was lucky enough to hit the jackpot and win myself a Gencios Fruit."

The cat Mink raised his spear and brought it down on him. Ronaldo backed up in one powerful back-step and evaded it before grinding his feet on the sad to stop himself. He then jumped up to the cat Mink's face at a speed that surprised the cat person.

"I possess the Siphon-Siphon No Mi!"

Ronaldo then punched the man in the face and knocked him on his back. The punch was merely a love tap to get the person discouraged enough to stop fighting.

"It allows me to slowly siphon the physical attributes of everyone around me continuously. If Im hit during the process, the person gets their energy back and I have to start siphoning from the beginning, but if not, I can fully drain someone of their power."

The Minks were already too drained to fight. His fruit was seemingly too strong.

One of the dog Mink's looked at him.

"You government pig! Always thinking you're high and mighty."

Ronaldo felt offended.

"Look, you attacked first when I didn't even provoke you. You brought this upon yourself."

Hera signaled with a whistle to make Fuhu stay on the ship.

The Minks finally gave her attention. She still had her flashlight eyes on. She then slowly walked through the hoards of Minks. Each of them, gasping as she walked by them.

"H-hera?!" One of the dog people said.

"The Goddess from the prophecy!" The cat Mink said.

"Our savior!" Said both of the llama Minks.

Ronaldo was confused as all the Minks there started to bow their heads at her.

Hera just looked around and then at her hands and slowly clenched her fists.

"I...I'm Hera...I was made to...help these people? That...seems right. I feel like, I belong here...The Revolutionary Army is to pay but, duty calls for me here..." Hera said with her eyes glowing different colors.

Ronaldo didn't know what the hell she was talking about or what was going on.

"I feel like, I have the memories of three different people...one that wants to kill the Revolutionary Army, one that wants to be a Pirate, and one that wants to help the people of this land...which should I pick?"

Ronaldo wanted to put in his opinion. But all the Minks interfered with his answer.

"Goddess Hera! Please help the Minks of this land!" One of the dog Minks said.

Hera nodded.

"Reboot Protocol...Paused. Project Hera under new directive...Save Constricta- Installed."

Everyone present was freaked out. Hera's eyes then turned back to normal, like how they were when she was with Muffet's crew.

"Oh! Hi! Um, what's going on here?" She said gesturing to the Minks. Ronaldo wasn't liking where this was going.

"That man is attacking us! Please go stop him for us!" The cat Mink said.

Hera then looked at Ronaldo. He gulped.

She got into a stance.

"Hera look. We don't have to do this, I can escort you right back to your crew and we can fix you-" Ronaldo said trying to help her, but she immediately dashed to him at a speed he soundly recognizes.

She was spreading winding up a heavy uppercut.

"I was never broke." She said as the punch connected and he was sent a few meters back. Saliva fluids left his mouth punch was heavier than he expected.

Ronaldo looked back up at her with a half concerned half angry eye.

"This is what I born to do." Hera said punching the shore, turning into a sand version of herself.

The energy that the Mink's had lost was going back to them. They were all rejuvenated and reluctantly got back up, not going what was going on.

Shit! This isn't looking good... Ronaldo thought

Hera turned around to the Minks and saw that they were safe. She smiled before turning back to Ronaldo and raising her arms.

Two giant sand arms with clenched fists started to emerge from the shore on parallel sides to Hera herself.

Ronaldo surprisingly got happy too.

"Alright, finally part of the job that isn't boring. Fighting two ancient weapons is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. However, you don't necessarily size up to Gaia."

Hera only frowned at that while the other Minks stood all around her with their weapons, guarding her.

"A path predating the code embedded in my body is seizing my thoughts and actions. The universe is telling me that I must be here, but because of recent endeavors, I have forgotten the details. You will be a testimony as to where I'm destined. If I beat you, it will only mean that I was truly meant to help this land, but if I die, so be it...Are you content with those terms?" Hera said punctuality and pride as she slowly started to rise in a slow ascent. She made a vortex of spiraling sand beneath to do so.

A moonlight brawl. A once in a lifetime fight.

Ronaldo was pumped.

"If only Christie were here! She would love this."

Ronaldo took off his navy shirt and underneath just revealed his bare chest. He was decently cut up from his years of training and mission exploration. A non-serious but veterened man.

"And yes! I'm content with those terms!" He said as he started to run at her.

The four Minks ran at him in retaliation with their weapons drawn. Ronaldo grinned as he was quite confident in the next clash.

"Secret Technique: Skywalk!" Ronaldo said as he jumped in the air and then proceeded to flick his feet so fast he kept jumping off the air at alarming speeds.

"Siphon!" He then shouted as he whizzed past the four Minks by Skywalking evasively around them.

They felt slightly weakened, but their resolve after seeing their new savior gave them enough remaining energy to keep fighting, which Ronaldo didn't expect.

The giant cat Mink raised his spear and then slammed it down on Ronaldo as he tried to pass.

He reflexively turned around so that his abs were facing the head of the spear.

Hera got ready.

"Secret Technique: Iron Body!" Ronaldo said as he tensed all the muscles in his body so hard it truly became lron, snapping the spear in half on impact.

However, the force of the impact, grounded him to the sand, which Hera used her temporary sand manipulation to form a hand underneath him and hold him in place.

Due to the law of his Devil Fruit, the siphoned power went back to the respective individuals.

The two dog Minks took out their handcrafted wood and steel pistols and shot it at his head.

While having Iron Body on, the bullets did all but damage him. Although, bruises were where were the bullets had impacted.

Hera seemed to eye Ronaldo up and down while she had him in her bind. The grip she had on him was airtight.

"Hm, it seems in terms of base strength, I outclass you in all things besides mobility and defense. You use your Devil Fruit to gain what you lack in a fight. Smart..." She trailed off as she tossed him across the shore using her giant sand hand.

He was tossed back a couple of meters before getting his balance again.

"Sky Walk!" He said as he stopped his flight to then immediately rush at her.

However, the instant he stopped his flight and dashed forward, she was already in front of him, readying a clothesline as if she knew he was going to do it.

His eyes widened in surprise as he didn't expect her to be there so fast.

"...but pathetic." She said as she mercilessly clotheslined him. He was sent down to the sand again, flat on his back. Yet again releasing saliva fluids as he was knocked down.

She used her sand manipulation to generate four sand blades that would impact him from above.

He saw this and widened his eyes again.

Okay, maybe this little girl is a threat. Ronaldo thought.

She slammed her hand down to send the blades to him. However, which Ronaldo's mobility skills, he rolled off his back until he was on his feet and sprung out the way of the attack by kicking off the floor.

The instant he did. He looked at her with a cold stare.

"Siphon!"

Hera felt her energy zap away by a small percentage. She looked at him and smiled.

"I see, your Devil Fruit isn't as strong as you claim it to be, hehe." She giggled triumphantly.

She clapped her hands as a lord would do summoning his servants. Then, the Minks surrounded him again, being brought back to full energy.

Hera, surprisingly, stepped back with distinguishable energy that gave off the order to 'show me what you got'.

Ronaldo looked around as each Mink covered a cardinal direction.

There was a howl. But everyone was too busy to care.

It seemed hungry.

The llama Minks attacked first, one from his North and one from his East.

Ronaldo rolled beneath the one from his North and used his hands to spring his legs up in the air, kicking the llama man on the bottom of his chin. With the force Ronaldo did it at, jostled his brain, knocking him out immediately.

When he got his footing he saw the cat Mink taking out a wooden club and immediately swinging it at him.

"Secret Technique! Iron Bo-" He couldn't get to cast it in time before the club dealt true physical pain to him. It made him cough at blood as his chest felt tight.

Minks in the night were fearsome.

He was just lucky it wasn't a full moon out.

The two dog women took out their pistols again and shot three shots each at him.

"Iron Body!" This time he was able to get the technique off, but they aimed at his chest. Since it was already hurting, the Iron Body technique felt like it didn't do much to reduce the pain.

The other llama Mink rushed at him with dual daggers and came for a rushing stab.

Ronaldo just gave that man a leg sweep followed up by a fast spartan kick to his hip after the sweep. The Mink was sent tumbling across the sand into his partner.

He then looked at the two bodies.

"Siphon!"

He gained the remaining energy he could from the two bodies without killing them, it wasn't much.

His body only gained more definition and more mass along his upper body.

Hera giggled a condescending giggle.

The other three Minks rushed him. He was ready.

The ladies came in with a saber, he grabbed both the blades and broke them with his fingers before quickly grabbing the opposite sides of both their heads and slamming them together. Knocking them out instantly.

However, when he did, he was again exposed to the stronger Mink out of the five.

The being swing its club again, Ronaldo tried to block it with his arms but it still dealt true physical damage as it sent it ragdolling across the shore again.

Hera just laughed.

There was another howl. It was closer. Sounds of trees being busted through and grass treading were being made.

It sounded hungrier.

No one heard it. They were too busy at the moment.

Ronaldo got up and looked at the big man. A streak of blood running down his head.

Hera held up her hand to the cat Mink as if telling him to stop.

"I see, so, you mention this Christie fellow...who is she?"

Ronaldo didn't know why she cared all of a sudden, but if she was buying him time to catch his breath, then he would play along.

"She is my best friend and duo partner...has been that way for almost all my life. I'm not used to fighting without her."

Hera only hummed to herself while tapping on her chin.

"Those techniques you were using...are not ones regularly given out to the navy, not to any member of the Revolutionary Army...by any chance are you a part of something bigger in your branch?" Hera said slowly coming out of her sand form.

Ronaldo took mental note of that.

She can only remain in her Substance Mimicry Form for about five minutes.

"That is confidential ma'am. Why would you want to know?"

Hera just giggled.

"I just like to be a historian is all...knowledge is power to me...Goddess Hera Protocol...Twelve Percent!"

Ronaldo was scared of what she meant by that, and what she would do once at 100%.

Hera snapped out of her trance and giggled at him.

"You hold her back don't you?"

This made Ronaldo tense up.

She slowly walked towards him. He didn't like where she was going with this, but he wanted her to make the first move. Not only that, but he sensed no hostility on her.

If she wanted to attack, she would do so.

He let her get that close to her, and she gently put her hand on his bare chest.

Using her really sensitive skin, she was able to read into Ronaldo like how she read into Muffet when she first met her.

"Yep." Hera turned around.

"You've always held her down."

"No, I haven't!"

"Yes, you have!" Hera finally yelled back.

Ronaldo stayed quiet.

"Christie is a strong woman and you're just a lazy leech that only uses your ability to be in the back lines and claim you're helping while she does all the front line work!"

Ronaldo couldn't deny that.

"If her spot was switched with mine, I doubt I'd be here talking right now. The fact that you're getting this worn from a simple fight against weaker enemies, means that you cheated your way through your rank. Using Christie as your sled dog."

"That's not true!"

Hera pointed at him.

"Cut the bullshit!"

Hera, somehow, grew older. Her body started to morph to that of an early teenager. She was no longer a kid. The clothes she wore tore and she was now bare.

"You know damn well you can't win this fight! Come on Fuhu, let's go."

Ronaldo was defeated, emotionally, all of what she said wasn't wrong. However, that aside, he still wasn't going down like a wimp.

He looked at her with a grin.

"Wait a minute, how do you remember that pet's name?"

This time, Hera was speechless. Her eyes started to look worried and sorrowful as she was looking back at Fuhu trying to give Ronaldo a direct answer.

"I...I don't know..." Hera said.

"I know why you remember its name! It's because the memories you have aren't lost and forgotten...they are multiple personalities!"

Hera was caught aghast by this. Even the cat Mink was giving her a side glance.

Ronaldo was filled with the Justice that is revealed when waiting until the last second to deliver a verdict.

Ronaldo was filled with...

Lazy Justice!

He started to glow yellow, just how Susie would with her Retributive Justice.

"At first I had believed you when you said that you couldn't remember anything. However, after the Minks controlled you to be on their side, it made you change from your default personality to a hidden one. You don't forget, your childish imagination allows you to take on literally different personas like you're playing pretend." Ronaldo said standing proud.

"That's utter lies!"

Ronaldo only wagged his finger.

"The true reason why I know this is the fact that while in your alternate personalities, you recall events only other personalities know. Which means that you didn't get amnesia. Hera! The true Hera, the innocent little girl! If you can hear me! Fight it!"

Hera started to get into a panicked sweat. Her eyes started to shift colors and forms, even freaking out the cat Mink man quite a bit.

"That wound in your head is what caused it wasn't it?! Was this the result of you leaving your incubation early? You were prone to viruses."

The more Ronaldo talked the more out of control she got. The cat Mink saw that he was making her break down and got his club-ready. He charged at Ronaldo.

Ronaldo sighed.

"She's right, I'm nothing without Christie, I can't fight alone...but..."

Ronaldo siphoned the energy of the Mink's unconscious teammates and simultaneously gut-punched the man. Knocking him out instantly.

"...I'm still strong enough to handle my own."

He then refocused on Hera, who was seemingly talking to herself.

Fuhu saw this and ran towards them, it tried to jump towards Hera but she kept refusing it to jump onto her.

"Hera! Remember Fuhu! Remember your Crew! Remember the Peninsula!"

Demonic screams were coming out from Hera as her true self, the one she had chosen to be for The Soul Parlour Pirates was slowly coming out.

She's almost there! I just have to keep pushing! Ronaldo thought.

And then, the howl was eventually heard.

Ronaldo looked and saw a scary beast.

It was a giant, diesel, white-furred, sharp and long fang and claw, glasses-wearing, red-eyed, goat woman. She stood bipedal, looking at the two people on the shore before getting back on all fours.

Around its legs seemed to be the corpses of a few men that worked for Zewz.

Ronaldo was scared of this outcome.

A Mink's Sulong form.

The unknown power of this sudden challenger made him afraid.

The beast howled and made a sonic boom towards Ronaldo. He got ready to deal with it, but Fuhu got sad after Hera denied him and went to go rest at Ronaldo's feet.

The goat lady saw this and went by him. As if letting him live.

However, equally as bad, the Sulong tackled and pinned Hera down to the ground. Making Hera snap out of her transitional stage and back to her "Goddess Protocol" personality.

Hera only laughed in her face.

"The monsters we've become, eh Ralsei?" Hera said kicked Ralsei off her with enough force to make a massive impact sound when in collision with Ralsei's newly heightened muscle durability.

However, after she kicked her off, Hera got up immediately and saw that her right arm was missing.

"I deserve that." She said before punching the ground and making herself a new arm out of sand that was fully functional.

"Wait that's Ralsei?! From the Soul Parlour Pirates?! She's a Mink?!" Ronaldo said as Fuhu was still scared and resting by his feet.

Ralsei howled to the moon as Hera stepped forward.

"I must bring this Continent to its former glory. If I must kill you two by the end, so be it. No hard feelings...auntie Ralsei." Hera said as her face showed some sorrow like last time.

Surprisingly, so did Ralsei.

They stood there for a minute looking at each other. Slowly brushing aside that moment and circling each other.

Ronaldo looked at Fuhu.

"Hey, little buddy, what do you want me to do here..."

Fuhu just gave him a cute puppy stare.

"I know I know...what would Christie do...I want to leave from this, I don't have to fight anymore..."

Fuhu kept the stare.

Ronaldo sighed. Then he smiled.

"If Christie was here, she'd use this opportunity to get into a three-person brawl. I gotta stop being a backline coward."

Hera and Ralsei noticed his resolve. He slowly approached the nude Biomechanical girl and the 10'0 Savage Sulong Ralsei and punched his fist together.

"Man versus Animal versus Robot! Let's see who wins!"

Somewhere, somehow...from afar...

Shyren was amused.
