The successful test of the " Order Harmonic Generator " was like lighting a lighthouse in the long night. The Straw Hat Pirates was greatly encouraged and immediately devoted themselves to the optimization and promotion of the device.
Franky's studio was brightly lit all night. Based on the data from the initial test, he iterated and upgraded the generator, aiming to expand its influence range, reduce energy consumption, and enhance the stability and penetration of the frequency. Allen and Robin continued their in-depth research on the Crystal of All Knowledge, searching for more efficient frequency combinations and energy conduction methods, attempting to weave the " Song of Order " into a more perfect form.
Based on the scanning results of the Domain Compass, Nami drew a detailed " Cosmic Resonance Hotspot Map," prioritizing the areas with the strongest resonance signals and the highest risks, and formulated an efficient "patrol" route.
Soon, the upgraded " Order Harmonic Generator - Modified" was unveiled. Its influence range expanded fivefold, and its energy utilization efficiency increased by thirty percent. The Thousand Sunny, like a wanderer wielding healing holy light, began to systematically "purify" the spatial areas contaminated by the Otherworldly Resonance, following the route planned by Nami.
They sailed to a region called the " Shattered Star Belt," where the spatial structure was inherently fragile. The Domain Compass indicated that several strong resonant signals were intertwined, forming a small-scale spatial turbulence. The Thousand Sunny hovered at a safe distance, its massive conch-shaped device at the bow emitting a soft glow.
" Order Harmonics, full power output!" Franky roared in the control room.
Invisible ripples of harmony surged toward the Shattered Star Belt like Tide. Unlike previous tests, the Otherworldly Resonance here was exceptionally stubborn, like a stubborn stain clinging to the spatial structure, struggling violently under the scouring of the Order Harmonics, even causing small-scale spatial distortions in an attempt to Resistance.
"Increase energy output! Fine-tune the frequency, inject more 'stability' attributes!" Allen sensed the conflicting rules ahead and quickly guided the adjustments.
Luffy to the bow of the ship, his Nika Form appearing naturally. He laughed heartily, the liberating drumbeats mingling with waves of joy, actively merging into the Order Harmonics: "Let them be happy too!"
Zoro's will to strike, Sanji's belief in protecting, Chopper's desire to heal, Robin's thirst for knowledge, Usopp's courageous imagination, Brook's soothing voice, Jinbe's power of righteousness, Ace's purifying flames, Law's precise control... At this moment, the will of all the companions seemed to transform into an invisible force, merging into that warm, harmonious Order Harmonics.
The harmonics, empowered by the will of their companions, shone brightly, becoming more resilient and powerful, brimming with vitality and an undeniable "presence." Like warm sunlight melting ice and snow, the stubborn Otherworldly Resonance, after persisting for a moment, finally began to retreat, their signals rapidly weakening and dissipating. The turbulent spatial currents of the Shattered Star Belt also gradually subsided, restoring its former (relative) tranquility.
"It's a success! Even this high level of pollution can be cleared!" Nami was thrilled as she looked at the data on the detector that had returned to normal.
This success is of great significance. It proves that " Order Harmonics " are not only applicable to prevention, but also to eliminating existing and strong resonance pollution, and that the addition of team will can greatly enhance its effectiveness.
Over time, the Straw Hat Pirates ' footprints have spread across dozens of star systems. They repair rifts, clear resonances, deploy stabilizing Beacon, and spread the technological principles of Order Harmonics (sharing them to a limited extent with trustworthy allied civilizations through the Revolutionary Army's channels). Their actions have gradually earned the trust and respect of more and more interstellar civilizations.
The title " Starry Sky Watcher " quickly spread, becoming a symbol of the Straw Hat Pirates on a new level. They were no longer just pirates pursuing their dreams, but also a bulwark protecting the Xinghai.
However, after studying the Crystal of All Knowledge in depth, Allen and Robin also raised a deeper concern.
" The Order Harmonics treatment is effective in addressing the symptoms, but it doesn't seem to have reached the root of the problem," Allen said in a team meeting. "Although we've shut down the ' Well of All Sources ' in that dying dimension, its very existence, and the ' Void ' of the Death Superuniverse it connected to, are like a continuously radiating source of pollution. As long as it exists, this resonance based on the instinct of ' Return to Nothingness ' may reappear in other forms."
Robin added, "According to the pioneers, true perfect balance might require that dimension to be 'reborn,' or at Rear Admiral completely 'isolated' from the cycle of the multiverse. But the energy and rule-based manipulation required for this far exceeds our current capabilities."
Listening to his crewmates' analysis while chewing on meat, Luffy suddenly asked, "Why don't we just wait until we're stronger before dealing with that? We know how to deal with those 'noises' now, and we can protect everyone. Once we find All Blue, finish drawing the world map, become the World's Greatest Swordsman... and become even stronger, then we can go see what happens in that world. Maybe then we'll have a solution!"
The captain's optimism and long-term vision simply and effectively alleviated the team's anxiety.
