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 Torqueline.

The navy vice admiral, and one of the members of the secret Government Organization "G.U.N.".

He was a man of little regret. His life was easy, he had everything he ever needed. Decent Power, both physically and politically, although, he wasn't a political type of man. He had status, money, a best friend he had growing up.

Life was made in his favor.

He hated it.

Life was boring for him. He seemed to get everything he had through some form of hard luck. The only thing he had to achieve in his life was his strength.

However, ever since the Incident "Sprocker-HQ", Christie had developed a power far beyond his own. Although he hit the jackpot with his Devil Fruit, Christie was somehow still stronger.

Everyone knew that, but Christie.

She was the only person, no, aspect of life, that didn't keep him bored. She was also the only person that didn't see her as stronger, in fact, she looked up to him as if he was as strong because he was holding back.

Childhood friends since they entered kindergarten, they've grown the exact same way, never really leaving their kid phase at heart.

That was of course when they were together. They were always together no matter how hard systems tried to separate them.

This time, however, was different.

.
.

Ronaldo Torqueline. A man of shriveling hope, a weakened mind and body, and many regrets stands over the body of two miniature monsters.

Happy.

This wasn't boring to him. An actual challenge that he was able to overcome.

He had only wished Christie was there to see it.

Ralsei and Hera were on the floor curled up. It had been morning about to hit noon.

It was a long night.

Fuhu ran over their bodies to get to Ronaldo. He knelt down and patted its head.

He was bleeding down his head and received multiple cracked bones and bruises. However, he kept his smile.

Ronaldo looked down at the two defeated monsters on the floor. They were alive, but tired and knocked out.

During the fight, Hera and Ralsei mostly attacked each other while Ronaldo kept siphoning their power and acting as a third-party fighter.

Now before him, was Ralsei back in her black-fur state and Hera reverted back to her regular body of a pre-teen.

"What do we do now little buddy?" He said while pacing his attention from Fuhu to the unconscious woman.

The cupcake spider just growled softly and looked at his two owners. He then ran over to Ralsei before licking her face.

Ronaldo didn't have the energy to go chase after it and stop it. So he just let Fuhu run off.

He looked at the Soul Parlour Pirates ship, just to see it horribly be put together. It was barely a recognizable ship with the amount of off-colored plywood was used to patch it up.

Whatever happened to it, left that ship in poor shape.

Who knew how many adventures they'd have left riding on that.

Fuhu just kept on licking her face. Then eventually, she started groaning.

She started to limply flail her arms around trying to push away Fuhu from her face.

The instant she touched him, she jolted in an upright position. Once she did, Fuhu planted himself on her head as her hat so that the sun didn't affect her.

She started to panic, looking around her just to see Ronaldo taking a thoughtful look at the ship.

"Where's that gun girl? Where am I? Who are you...? What happened to Undyne?! Where's my crew?!" She said scrambling to her feet looking around again.

She then looked down to see that...well, she was technically nude. Her Sulong form really made her outgrow her clothes. She didn't have anything on besides Fuhu as a hat.

She blushed so hard it was visible through her thick black fur and just awkwardly covered what she didn't want him to see with her arms and hands.

She looked at the ground next to her to see a naked Hera too.

Ralsei went from embarrassed to angry, revolted.

"You sicko! What did you do to us while we were asleep?!" She said.

Ronaldo, now flustered as this didn't make him look good. This scene did look a little sketchy.

"Ay ay ay! Relax! Look I didn't do anything, you two were ripping each other to shreds and that was the result."

Fuhu then felt the disturbance and quickly spindled his web string around Ralsei's body, making her from the shoulders down look like a mummy.

She didn't like the feeling but it was better than being naked. Fuhu did the same to Hera.

Ronaldo walked up to her slowly, she took a step back, she tried reaching for her Yo-Yo, but it wasn't anywhere.

"Easy there tiger, I'm here to answer any question you may have. It's only fair."

Although she was terrified, she felt the sincerity. She eased down, but not really giving this guy any trust.

"Look, about the questions you asked so far, I can only give you my point of view, I'm not god."

.
.

Ronaldo sat down and explained to Ronaldo everything from what he was seeing while spying on them in the beginning, to the brief fight with Susie and Cassidy, to the fight with Hydra, the portal room with Cobalt, and the events that made Hera go crazy. And also the most important part, what Ralsei turned into while she was blacked out.

Ralsei had to sit down, she had to take it all in.

"So...everyone is safe?" She said rubbing her forehead with her palm.

"Most likely, if anything, everyone thinks you two are dead. Especially her." Ronaldo said pointing at Hera.

She looked at Hera and noticed that her body had matured. The last time that happened was because she had grown up in some way.

"I think her seeing me would jog the real Hera back. I just...I didn't want anyone to think that I was a Mink. Because of this place specifically. I thought, you know, if I told them...that they'd think less of me like how they do of this land. A land so racially segregated that they built a continent above each other to not interact with each other."

Ronaldo only stared at her as she spoke. She was right. The history of this land really is all rainbows and he had understood why she kept that secret.

However, because of so, some changes are to be made to her overall bounty.

"Well, considering how your captain is as strong as Christie, and Christie, quite frankly, would kick my shit in if she could, it's in my best interest and your best interest if we don't attack each other."

Ralsei felt at ease. Ronaldo was a smart man and she knew that. Strong too if he was the one to come out of the three-way fight victorious. She trusted him a lot more than before.

"So, what's the plan? From what I've been told, Muffet and Christie both failed to eliminate Hydra but got some decent damage in. So if we want to win, we'd all need to be there."

Ronaldo smirked and pointed a finger gun at her.

"Exactly. Problem is, I have no idea where that Cobalt guy teleported everyone. So, we have two options. We either wait here, for everyone to get back...or..." Ronaldo said walking over to Hera and picking her up, hoisting her over his shoulder.

"Or we could cause as much havoc as we can to make our friends have an easy time when they get here." He said with a somewhat uncharacteristic charisma and smile.

Ralsei knew that tone.

There was something about this man that was...suppressed. Like she was just witnessing the beginning of something huge for him.

It reminded her of Muffet.

She smiled at that but quickly turned it into a frown.

"Look mister, as much as I'd love to, especially in this form, I'm of no use. If I was in my Sulong form, I wouldn't even be able to listen to you and might even attack you. And Hera is unconscious for God knows how long. How do you propose we cause some havoc?"

Ronaldo just smiled and walked towards Ralsei, who still had Fuhu on her head as a hat. The spider cupcake was panting happily feeling the familiar energy in Ronaldo.

"Well, Christie and I were observing each individual fight, and Cassidy and the woman you brutally murdered delivered some info and something that's of use to us." Ronaldo sai sn rummaging around in his pants pocket.

Ralsei blushed and covered her face with her hands.

"Wait! I killed someone...?! How bad was it...?" Ralsei said ashamed and scared of herself for taking her first life, however, she somewhat felt like a rite of passage was passed.

Everyone else on the crew had a kill count on them that didn't seem to bother them, which concerned her, but if they were pirates and had to act in self-defense, then this was somewhat expected behavior.

She began to think, Undyne had the biggest kill count, she has killed countless no-named pirates before joining the crew. While on the crew she had killed two navy ships worth of men, two out of the three executives in Star Drop, a few enemies in Yetera, and an emerald golem woman in The Peninsula.

Muffet...surprisingly didn't kill much that she knew of except the people on the beach when they first met Hera. Her only other kill was against Verde Armstrong.

Susie only ever killed that Emerald girl and The Chaos King along with Rouxls Kaard, but she wasn't sure about that last one.

This marked Ralsei's first kill. She felt proud, but sick to the stomach.

"Yeah it was pretty bad, you digested 50 percent of her," Ronaldo said as Ralsei vomited aggressively once she heard that.

She ATE her enemy?

"But look, because you did so, Christie and I did a little foraging and found this!" He said while taking out a Transponder Snail.

The snail was physically representative of what Hydra looked like, which meant that this was a means of a one-way call to Hydra.

"Hey, do you know what the woman you killed sounded like?" Ronaldo said with a smirk.

Ralsei just finished wiping the vomit from her mouth.

"Uh, yeah. She was like 'oh! I'm so beautiful. Blah blah blah." Ralsei said perfectly imitating that woman.

She really hated that Aphrodite woman, which was why she wasn't so pressed about killing her.

"Good. You do the call then."

Ronaldo then tossed the Transponder Snail at Ralsei who barely caught it and fumbled with it until getting a good grip.

"Wait what?!"

"Just improvise, just get information out of him." He said giving her a thumbs up.

She trembled to look at the Transponder Snail.

What he wanted her to do was so stressful. She didn't even know if Hydra's group had a certain jargon that would get her caught immediately.

Regardless of that, she knew she was the only person to do this. If doing this meant that she could finally be of use to her crew, then she would suck up her cowardly nature.

She was filled with...

Courage!

She pressed the button on top of the snail and waited.

...

*Click*

"Aphrodite...haven't heardof you since I called you over to dispatch of the goat woman. Did you encounter some obstacle?"

Ralsei gave one finally worried glance at Ronaldo who was giving her a thumbs up.

She took a deep breath and sighed aloud. She brushed back her fur.

"Not someone as beautiful as me couldn't handle!" Ralsei said continuing to impersonate the woman she killed.

"Then it's safe to assume that you completed your task?"

"Yes of course! Beautifully! Listen Hydra sweety, what's on the agenda now?"

"Now...let's see, with Cassidy missing...I can't afford her to be before we hit the final phase. However, that Spider-Girl is alive and I canprobably assume she took her to interrogateher. So I'vedispatched Hercules and Dionysius into Veuryid. Where they shall intercept that Spider Girl's weakened group and make waste of them."

Ralsei gulped hearing that news. Ronaldo seemed to tone down his excitement to really take in the information.

"Remember Aphrodite, one more week until we can enact the final phase. We already have these Minks believing Zewz is the one that ushered the recent attacks in these villages. From our Pantheons, there still are You, Hercules, Dionysius, Hades, Poseidon, Helios, and Prometheus. We need you guys for the final phase."

Ronaldo and Ralsei were speechless at this news. There were about eight monstrous loyal soldiers that Hydra had at his disposal.

Considering how strong Cassidy was, Ralsei assumed that she killed most likely the weakest member.

"Hey. Aphrodite..."

"Y-yes Hydra sir?"

"Have you've seen...a littlegirl named Hera? If so, bring her to me. I need her for the final phase...I didn't think she'd be here...but...I want her to see this...I alreadyhave Zewz's news messengersix feet under. With him gone, this should be able to cause some havoc up there in Olympus. If you can control the flow of information, then you can control the flow of war."

Ralsei was just straight-up disgusted. Ronaldo signaled Ralsei to end the call.

"Hydra sir...are Hercules and Dionysius already on Veuryid?"

"Yes. Once ourreporter there said the spider girl was there, I already sent them out on a ship...why you ask?"

Ralsei looked at Ronaldo one last time. Before grinning.

It was uncharacteristic of Ralsei, a grin that didn't befit someone of her build or personality.

Ralsei hated people that were like Hydra.

A person who used the weak as stepping stones and minions. A person who bent the truth to what was convienent for him. A warmonger.

A person who acted like a know-it-all.

A person like Asriel...

Ralsei...began having an aura. An orange aura. It was thin but clearly shown. It outlined her body.

Her soul grew bigger.

She always hated bullies, growing up with Asriel who constantly bullied her because she wasn't simply on the same echelon as him.

Now was a time to stand up to her bullies.

Ralsei was now newly filled with a stronger...

Courage!

"Good Hydra, just as I wanted you to do." She said with her regular voice.

Ronaldo's heartfelt cold out of fear as she did that.

That wasn't part of the plan.

What was she doing?"

"Wait?! Who are you?! Where's Aphrodite?!"

"Dead. Easy really. And my name...hmm, Atlas."

"Whoever you are Ms. Atlas, you won'tget away with this. You won't be ableto stop my final phase. Once I find you-"

Ralsei, interrupted him.

"Cut the chit-chat. I'll save you the time, I'm here alone waiting for you to bring your stronger Pantheons here. I know that woman was your weakest."

Hydra got quiet.

"Don't push your luck, woman. When my Pantheons find you, they'll bringyou to me where I can deal with you personally. Lucky for you, I need to be somewheremuch more urgently than I have to dealwith you."

"Good. Let the games begin Mr. Tactician!" She said the last part mockingly.

Hydra aggressively hung up.

Ronaldo was freaking out.

"What are you doing!" We were supposed to infiltrate quietly not let the entire enemy army know we are after them!"

"My crew, to me, is the world. And it seems they're in need of carrying right now. So, for now, I'll be Ms. Atlas. And look, we are still somewhat in the shadows about this. I made sure to say that it was only me and I didn't give away that it was me. So we still have the element of surprise."

Ronaldo scoffed.

"Plus, I did this to make sure we can eliminate the problems for our stronger friends for when they get here."

Ronaldo actually was somewhat surprised at how smart Ralsei really was as a tactician.

He sighed.

"So, what now?"

"Well, it's up to us now. To try everything in our power to...well..."

Both of them looked off into the distance into the black forest. Trying to look for where to hide and take shelter in next while being headhunted by two random Pantheon members.

"Stop a War."

"Are you kidding me? We are undoubtedly the weaker three of the combined two groups."

"Well, according to what you said, Cobalt said these portals would take us to a place where fate wanted us to be. And it placed you here. Meaning that, well, because there's no one else, it's up to 'The Backline Trio' to frontline for once. We have to stop this war before it happens, if we don't innocent Minks and humans will die." Ralsei said taking charge.

"Well...you have me there. What now, Ms. Atlas?"

She started to get used to that title.

"First, we find a village and hide amongst their people. We have a local doctor treat us, and hopefully, we can do so before the Pantheons could find us."

Ronaldo nodded.

"Sounds good. My body still hurts."

"Yeah, mine too auntie Ralsei," Hera said over Ronaldo's shoulder.

"Yeah you see, it is a good- AH!" Ronaldo screaming like a girl.

Hera was awake. The true Hera.

"Why does my body hurt? Who are you? Where's our family auntie?" Hera said.

Ralsei and Ronaldo gave each other a worried glance.

"Well...long story..."
