After successfully deploying " Space Stabilization Beacon " designed by Franky and incorporating the principle of Boundary Stone at several high-risk spatial vulnerabilities, the Straw Hat Pirates did not stop. The faint but persistent resonance signals on the Domain Compass, like fine thorns stuck in the skin of the universe, reminded them that they were far from being able to rest easy.
"We have to find a way to interfere with or even block that damned resonance frequency from our side." Nami looked at the flashing lights on the compass and made up her mind.
This time, the research focused on the theoretical aspects of energy frequency and dimensional resonance in the " Crystal of All Knowledge," as well as the " Boundary Stone Fragment " that continuously emitted stable fluctuations.
Inside the laboratory (an expansion of Franky's workshop), the atmosphere was tense and focused. Allen, Robin, Franky were the main force, Nami was in charge of data modeling, Chopper was responsible for monitoring the effects of energy on organisms, and even Usopp contributed his often whimsical "inspirations."
"According to the records of the Crystal of All Knowledge, dimensional resonance is similar to a kind of trans-spacetime harmonic vibration," Robin explained the obscure knowledge. "To interfere with it, you don't need a stronger force to collide with it, but rather you need to emit a 'counter-phase frequency' that can 'interfere' with it and disrupt its harmonic stability."
"Anti-phase frequency?" Franky scratched his steel chin. "Like interfering with beautiful music with noise?"
"The principle is similar, but this is at the level of rules," Allen added, his fingertips swirling with the subtle energy flow guided from the Boundary Stone Fragment, attempting to simulate the frequency of that Otherworldly Resonance. "The key is that we must simulate the 'characteristic frequency' of that dying dimension with extreme precision before we can deduce and generate its 'inverse'."
This process was like searching for the only Key that could unlock a lock in the dark, extremely difficult. The frequency of the other world was full of the characteristics of "decay" and "plunder," and simulating it itself was an erosion and burden on the simulator. Allen had to frequently interrupt his training so that Chopper could check and treat him.
After several days and nights of attempts, progress was minimal. The complexity of that frequency far exceeded expectations, filled with discordant noises and contradictory fragments of rules.
"No... it's too chaotic..." Allen rubbed his temples wearily. "It's like trying to recreate a devastating storm; every detail is fraught with destruction."
Just as the research reached a stalemate, Usopp, looking at the chaotic frequency waveforms jumping around on the instruments, suddenly blurted out, "Um... since they sound so awful, why don't we try... drowning them out with our own 'voices'?"
Everyone was taken aback.
"Cover it up?" Nami asked, puzzled.
"Not by forcibly suppressing it," Usopp struggled to organize his thoughts, gesturing as he spoke, "Like... like Brook's music can cheer up people who are in a bad mood? Can we make a nice, warm sound that makes the space feel 'comfortable,' and make those unpleasant noises disappear on their own?"
This seemingly amateurish and naive idea made Allen and Robin fall into deep thought.
"Using the frequencies of 'order' and 'vitality' to 'cover' rather than 'confront' the frequencies of 'chaos' and 'death'..." A light gradually shone in Allen's eyes. "Not to destroy the opponent's harmonics, but to use stronger, more harmonious harmonics to 'assimilate' or 'submerge' them... Usopp, you're a genius!"
Brook excitedly picked up her violin. "Yo ho ho ho~ the power of music! Let me compose the music for this ' Song of Order '!"
A sudden shift in thinking brought clarity.
Instead of trying to reproduce that unsettling otherworldly frequency, they began to attempt to construct a composite harmonious frequency based on the stable fluctuations of the " Boundary Stone," incorporating the life-giving properties of the World Seed," and containing the Straw Hat Pirates's own beliefs (freedom, dreams, and friendship).
Allen was responsible for constructing the framework of rules and guiding energy; Robin sought theoretical support from the Crystal of All Knowledge; Franky designed the frequency generating device; Brook and Usopp were responsible for infusing this frequency with "soul" and "color" (through music and imagination); Nami performed modeling and optimization; Chopper monitored life responses.
This is an unprecedented attempt to combine cold, rule-based technology with the warm power of will.
A few days later, a prototype device—the " Order Harmonic Generator "—was manufactured and installed on the bow of the Thousand Sunny, resembling a giant conch shell emitting a soft white light.
They chose a relatively distant, but clearly resonant, weak point in the space for testing.
Allen activated the device, Franky provided full power. There was no deafening sound, only a silent, warm, and reassuring energy wave that spread out like ripples from the Thousand Sunny, sweeping across the weak point in space.
Everyone stared intently at the Domain Compass and all the detection instruments.
On the compass, the signal representing the Otherworldly Resonance at that weak point, after the Order Harmonics swept over it, first trembled violently a few times, then... the amplitude began to decrease, the brightness gradually dimmed, and finally, it disappeared completely! At the same time, the detection instruments showed that the spatial stability of that point had significantly improved!
"We did it! We did it!" Chopper and Usopp hugged each other and cheered.
Nami looked at the data, tears welling up in her eyes. "It works! The coverage plan works! Although the area is still small and the cost is high, it proves that a viable path has been found!"
This means that they may not need to risk entering that dying dimension again to gradually weaken or even eliminate the threat of interdimensional invasion from their native universe! They have found a hopeful solution of their own.
The Thousand Sunny was filled with joy and hope after the breakthrough. They would continue to optimize the device, expand its influence, and spread this " Song of Order " throughout the Xinghai, soothing the wounds from other worlds.
