After leaving Demon Island, the Combined Fleet obtained an unexpected set of coordinates-the Rainbow Bridge, a mysterious hub said to connect different dimensions and timelines. According to the information provided by Redemption AI, this place might hold the key to understanding Imu's multidimensional strategy.
"The Rainbow Bridge..." Sabo excitedly pulled up all the relevant information. "The records describe it as a miracle of transdimensional engineering built by the Ancient Kingdom, leading to worlds of different possibilities." Ace curiously studied the anomalous spatial readings on the radar. "Different worlds? Like Sky Island?" Luffy's eyes lit up. "Will there be lots of meats?" Allen extended his Time Perception, his expression filling with shock. "The space there is like a kaleidoscope. Every fragment reflects a different reality..."
As Pluton approached the Rainbow Bridge, the sight before them surpassed everyone's imagination-a massive bridge made of pure light spanned the void, connecting countless shimmering gateways, each opening onto a different world.
All kinds of strange creatures traveled back and forth across the bridge: fully mechanized life-forms, beings of pure energy, and even entities that were concepts made manifest!
"Welcome to the Rainbow Bridge." A life-form composed of light approached them. "I am Spectrum, your guide. Please observe the rules of transdimensional travel to avoid causing reality to collapse."
Under Spectrum's guidance, everyone cautiously stepped onto the bridge of light. Each step felt as though it landed on a different world, a wondrous sensation beyond words.
Luffy tried to touch a furry dimensional creature, which gently moved out of his reach. "Hey, it's like cotton candy!" Ace discovered that his flames burned differently in different dimensions. "Interesting..." Sabo took notes furiously. "This could rewrite every law of physics!" Allen pushed his Time Perception to its limits, trying to understand this complex multidimensional structure.
Spectrum explained, "The Rainbow Bridge is more than a passageway. It is also a buffer that keeps reality stable. If it collapses, every dimension will be affected."
Just then, an alarm sounded! A band of "Dimensional Pirates" was attacking the bridge's core nodes! Made up of exiled dimensional criminals of all kinds, they sought to control the Rainbow Bridge to fulfill their ambitions.
"More trouble..." Spectrum sighed. "On a larger scale this time."
The Dimensional Pirates' technology far surpassed that of ordinary enemies. They could exploit dimensional differences to attack:
· An attack launched in one dimension took effect in another;
· Defenses that were strong in one dimension were weak in another;
· They could even temporarily "exile" targets to dimensions they were ill-suited to!
The Combined Fleet was locked in a bitter struggle! Conventional tactics were completely ineffective! "We can't hit them! They're jumping between dimensions!" "Our defenses aren't working! The attacks are coming from unexpected angles!" "My ability is weaker in this dimension!"
Allen's Time Perception was also disrupted. "Time flows at different speeds in different dimensions... it's hard to predict..."
At that critical moment, Spectrum supplied crucial information. "The Dimensional Pirates rely on 'anchors' to position themselves between dimensions! Destroy the anchors, and you can restrict their movement!"
Combining his power of time with multidimensional perception, Allen finally discovered the hidden anchors. "We need to attack the anchors in every dimension simultaneously!"
He directed the fleet to split into multidimensional teams, each responsible for destroying the anchors in one dimension. This was an extremely complex coordination task; the slightest mistake could leave a team trapped in another dimension.
"Time Synchronization: Multidimensional Coordination!" Allen pushed his power of time to the utmost, coordinating operations across every dimension at once! "Now!" Every team attacked simultaneously! The Dimensional Pirates' anchors were destroyed, leaving them trapped in the gaps between dimensions!
The pirate leader frantically activated his backup plan. "If I can't have it, I'll destroy it!" He tried to overload the Rainbow Bridge's core and trigger a multidimensional collapse!
The Rainbow Bridge began to destabilize, its gateways flickering and cracks appearing across the bridge! Different dimensions began bleeding into one another, throwing the laws of physics into chaos!
"We have to stabilize the core!" Spectrum said anxiously. "But we need to input the stabilizing frequencies of every dimension simultaneously!"
Allen used his Time Perception to sense the core. "I can do it... but I'll need everyone's help!"
He guided each person in converting the characteristics of their power into dimensional frequencies:
· Luffy's rubber properties were converted into an elastic frequency;
· Ace's flames were converted into an energy frequency;
· Sabo's wisdom was converted into an information frequency;
· Whitebeard's vibrations were converted into a fundamental frequency;
· Even Hancock's beauty was converted into an attraction frequency!
Under Allen's temporal coordination, all the frequencies merged perfectly and flowed into the Rainbow Bridge's core! Something astonishing happened-not only did the Rainbow Bridge stabilize and become more beautiful and sturdy, but it even expanded to form new gateways, connecting more dimensions!
The Dimensional Pirates were arrested by multidimensional law enforcers, and peace returned to the Rainbow Bridge.
In the core control room, Allen discovered the Ancient Kingdom's true ambition-they had built the Rainbow Bridge not to control, but to understand and connect all forms of existence.
"Imu twisted that ideal..." Spectrum sighed. "He wants to use the Rainbow Bridge to force every dimension to obey a single order."
As thanks, Spectrum gave Allen a "Dimensional Prism," which could manipulate dimensional properties within a small area.
When they left, everyone had gained a multidimensional perspective. They realized that their own world was merely one of countless possibilities, both insignificant and unique.
Luffy still wanted to become the Pirate King, but now understood that other dimensions might have different "Pirate Kings"; Ace still cherished his flames, but had witnessed other forms of energy; Sabo still pursued revolution, but had come to understand the diversity of different societies; even the most stubborn among them had learned to consider problems from multiple perspectives.
Standing at Pluton's bow and looking back at the gradually receding Rainbow Bridge, Allen held the Dimensional Prism as it refracted myriad colors of light.
True strength lay not in conquest, but in understanding and connection.
This multidimensional wisdom would guide them to respect all forms of life.
Pluton sailed toward new adventures, carrying an awe of the universe's complexity.
And that awe might keep them from repeating Imu's mistakes.
