The '''Rainbow Mist''' is a mysterious fog that is in fact a gateway to another dimension.

==Overview==
[[Image:Ape's Concert.png|thumb|left|The ship's graveyard inside the Ape's Concert.]]

While it is impossible to know when and where the Rainbow Mist will appear, it has appeared twice near [[Ruluka Island]] while no appearances in other places were reported.

Any ship who enters the Rainbow Mist is automatically transported to a strange dimension known as {{Nihongo|'''Ape's Concert'''|エイプスコンサート|Eipusu Konsāto|'''Wrecker's Reef''' in the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub}}, in which all ships and their crews and passengers are trapped. It is also known as a ship's graveyard because it is filled with wrecked ships, although it is said that there are many treasures in their cargo.

It seems this place is a space loop, which means it takes anyone and anything back to the point in from which they started - when Robin fired a cannon ball from the front of the Going Merry, it landed close behind the ship. Time does not seem to pass by as normal here; by the time the [[Pumpkin Pirates]] entered the mist, none of the previous prisoners were there. The reason for their deaths is not clear, but it is possible that they were eaten by the Ruluka [[Sea King]], a beast that was also trapped in Ape's Concert.

==History==
At some point in the late 1460s, a Marine ship commanded by Rapanui's father entered the mist and was trapped there. Eventually, the entire crew died there, like the crews of all other ships before them.

Around [[World Timeline|1472]] the Pumpkin Pirates and Ian, a member of the [[Wetton Pirates]], were trapped in the Rainbow Mist during [[Wetton]]'s attack on [[Ruluka]]. For the next fifty years [[Henzo]], the only member of the Pumpkin Pirates who stayed back on Ruluka, researched the phenomenon in order to rescue his friends. Wetton, who became the mayor of Ruluka, sponsored his work.

A book series entitled ''Rainbow Mist'', Volumes '''I''' through '''X''' was written by [[Rapanui Pasqua]] around [[World Timeline|1482]]. According to the book series, the Rainbow Mist may be the Land of the Gods, or even El Dorado, the entrance to the "City of Gold"{{Qref|ep=139}}. It also says that everyone who has looked for the Rainbow Mist and the Land of Gods has never returned and that its inhabitants live forever without aging or going hungry. [[Nami]] obtained the first nine volumes in the [[Arabasta Kingdom]] when King Cobra allowed her to take the books, along with others. [[Nico Robin|Robin]] very fervently read, and can nearly always be seen with her nose in, a Rainbow Mist book between the time that the [[Straw Hat Pirates]] leave [[Arabasta Arc|Arabasta]] all the way to the time that they arrive on [[Ruluka Island]].

In [[World Timeline|1522]] the [[Straw Hat Pirates]] visited Ruluka Island and met Hanzo. On Ruluka Island, some of the Straw Hats made enemies of the mayor and [[The Collection Party|his men]], who had placed high taxes on everything. [[Nico Robin|Robin]], [[Usopp]], and [[Monkey D. Luffy|Luffy]] meet Professor [[Henzo]], who is doing research on the island's Rainbow Mist. When the mist appeared, Henzo borrowed the [[Going Merry]] to go explore it. The Going Merry, with all crew members but [[Sanji]], [[Nami]], and [[Tony Tony Chopper|Chopper]] aboard, got caught in Ape's Concert. They found out that the inside of the Rainbow Mist is full of wrecked ships and treasures, including ones not found in the current time period, and is guarded by five kids. The kids are actually friends of Hanzo who were lost in the mist over fifty years ago. Hanzo, his friends, and the others try to find a way out of the ship graveyard. Meanwhile, the mayor and his men let the information about the Rainbow Mist slip to the remaining Straw Hats still on Ruluka. Luffy accidentally propelled himself and [[Rapanui Pasqua]] to the end of the mist. [[Nami]] appeared in the ship graveyard with a rowboat full of treasure and a rope connected to a dock in the real world, which is stolen by [[Wetton]]'s subordinate. The mayor used the [[Rainbow Tower]] to make a bridge to the Rainbow Mist. Due to the destruction of the Rainbow Tower, the mist collapsed. However, the [[Straw Hat Pirates]] and the [[Pumpkin Pirates]] managed to escape its destruction, each crew returning to their own time period. The Going Merry escaped from the Rainbow Mist but received significant damage on the way. The mayor was arrested by [[Marines]] who turn out to be older versions of Henzo's friends, who were thrown fifty years into the past by the Rainbow Mist's collapse.

==Trivia==
*During the [[Post-Arabasta Arc|Post-Arabasta]] and the [[Goat Island Arc]]s, between episodes [[Episode 131|131]] and [[Episode 138|138]], Nico Robin is seen reading the books from the Rainbow Mist series.{{Qref|ep=131|Robin has several volumes of Rainbow Mist next to her.}}{{Qref|ep=132|Robin reads the Volume II at the beginning of the episode.}}{{Qref|ep=134|Luffy got interested in Robin's book, titled "Rainbow Mist"}}{{Qref|ep=135|"Rainbow Mist V" is seen on Robin's table.}}{{Qref|ep=136|"Rainbow Mist" volumes are seen on Robin's table while the Straw Hats are pursued by the Marine.}}{{Qref|ep=138|Robin reads one of the "Rainbow Mist" books after departure.}}
*The name "Ape's Concert" is likely derived from the {{W|Sargasso Sea}}, a region of the Atlantic Ocean holding the notorious {{W|Bermuda Triangle}}. The Japanese pronunciation of {{Nihongo|"Sargasso"|サルガッソ|Sarugasso}} sounds similar to {{Nihongo|''saru gassō''|猿合奏||"monkey/ape concert"}}, making the name a pun.
