Having escaped the collapsing Abyss, the Thousand Sunny Modified struggled through a relatively calm star field. The ship was badly damaged, and everyone was exhausted. Allen, in particular, fell into a deep coma due to overexertion and was carefully cared for by Chopper and Law.
Several days later, Allen finally awoke. Although still weak, his eyes had regained their clarity. The clash with the laws of the Abyss Will had almost drained him of everything, but it had also given him a deeper understanding of his own power and the laws of the universe.
"We've dealt it a heavy blow, but we haven't eradicated it," Allen, leaning against the hospital bed, his voice still a little hoarse. "That law-based attraction and predation mechanism still exists. As long as our world remains on its 'recipe,' similar invasions will inevitably happen again sooner or later, perhaps in another form, carried out by another similar 'will.'"
His words made the atmosphere heavy again. Passive defense is never the solution.
"We must find a way," Sabo's voice came through the Den Den Mushi, with his usual calm and decisiveness, "A way to proactively warn of, or even fundamentally block or interfere with, this 'law of attraction'."
Robin put down the documents he had been reading, collected from various ruins and survivors, his eyes gleaming with thought, "Based on the current information, beings like ' World Devourers ' or ' Abyss Will ' seem to rely on some kind of ' Law Resonance ' or 'energy marker' to lock onto their target worlds. If we can understand this mechanism, perhaps we can find a way to interfere with it."
Nami pulled up all the previously recorded data on the patterns of otherworldly energy and the appearance of rifts. "The data shows that the appearance of rifts is not completely random. They often appear in areas where the World Barrier is relatively weak, or in areas where the internal energy fluctuates violently and generates some kind of 'harmonic' with the otherworld."
Franky tapped on the console. "So, our world itself might be unconsciously 'leaking' some kind of signal, attracting those guys?"
"More accurately, it's that the laws of the two worlds 'resonated' under certain conditions," Allen added, recalling the "complementary laws" and "mature energy" mentioned by the Abyss Will, "Like a specific frequency that attracted the attention of predators."
"So, could we change this 'frequency'? Or create a 'jamming signal'?" Usopp said whimsically.
This idea made Allen's eyes light up!
Changing the frequency may be extremely difficult, but creating interference... is not impossible!
He struggled to sit up, signaling to Chopper that he was alright. "I need quiet, I need to concentrate." He closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking back into his body, but this time, it wasn't about fighting, but about extremely subtle perception and deduction.
He carefully savored the "alien" law fluctuations he felt when confronting the Abyss Will of the abyss, analyzing their characteristics. At the same time, he also deeply perceived his connection with the world's fortune and the Laws of Space and Time, searching for that possible "resonance point" that was "locked in" from the outside.
This was an extremely complex process, akin to searching for the interaction force between two specific particles in the vast universe. Time passed slowly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Allen's forehead, his expression shifting between bewilderment and confusion.
Everyone held their breath, not daring to disturb them.
Suddenly, Allen opened his eyes, looking tired but with a sense of enlightenment.
"I... I think I've found the key," he said slowly. "That 'resonance' isn't a single law, but a complex, dynamic 'law spectrum.' It contains specific vibrations of our world's spacetime structure, peak activity levels of life energy (luck), and may even include some... 'information imprints' accumulated over history (such as the existence of Ancient Weapon, the Will of D., etc.)."
He looked at everyone. "Completely simulating or altering this 'spectrum' is almost impossible, but... we can try to create a localized, powerful 'interference field'!"
"Interference field?" Luffy tilted his head.
"Yes," Allen explained, "Using my spacetime power, combined with everyone's unique strengths—for example, Luffy's 'freedom' will, Zoro's 'severing' will, Sanji's 'purification' flames, Robin's 'history' knowledge, Chopper's 'life' concern, and so on—I will use spacetime power as a carrier to continuously broadcast these 'information's' distinct characteristics of our world, yet subtly different from that 'predator resonance spectrum,' like a lighthouse, to the surrounding star systems!"
"What's the point of doing this?" Jinbe asked.
"There are two possible effects," Allen analyzed. "First, confusion. A powerful 'signal' that is characteristic of our world yet different from it might interfere with predators' precise location of the true 'resonance point,' increasing the difficulty for them to find and lock onto us. Second, deterrence. This 'interference field' itself declares that this world is not a defenseless 'nursery,' but rather an existence with powerful protective forces, which might deter some more cautious predators."
"It's like lighting a special lamp in the dark, both illuminating yourself and telling potential Predator, 'There are thorns here, don't mess with me,'" Brook concluded.
"That's exactly right." Allen nodded.
"Sounds promising! What are we waiting for? Let's get started!" Luffy shouted excitedly.
This is an unprecedented attempt, a grand plan that combines top-tier individual combat skills, unique willpower, and the Laws of Space and Time. If successful, they will buy their world a precious respite and time to develop.
The Straw Hat Pirates reunites once again to protect what they have. This time, their battlefield is not in reality, but in the invisible realm of laws and information. An unconventional defensive battle, at the level of " Star Core resonance," is about to unfold.
