Zoro glanced at the dial in Luffy's hand and marveled, "Hey, that's pretty amazing, being able to record sound."
Conis smiled and explained, "Yes, this is a Tone Dial. It can record sounds and play them back repeatedly. It's one of our special dials." She picked up another dial from the table and pressed its top, releasing a melodious piano tune. "This one is often used to record and listen to music. This is a performance I recorded before. I hope you like it."
As the beautiful music filled the room, everyone in the Straw Hats crew smiled, enjoying the serene notes. It was moments like these that made Luffy's constant desire for a musician on their crew understandable.
Nami, however, was more focused on practical matters. "This music is really nice," she said. "But how do we get a Waver to move with that?"
Conis quickly clarified, "Oh, the Waver's power comes from a different type of dial." She picked up another, differently shaped dial. "This is a smaller Breath Dial, but it has the same effect."
She continued, "Just hold it against the wind for 30 minutes, and it can release that amount of air at any time." Luffy, ever the curious one, took the dial from Conis, pointed the end at himself, and pressed the top. His rubber face distorted comically as the air from the Breath Dial blew it in all directions. "Wow! This is so fun!"
Conis laughed at Luffy's antics but continued her explanation, "The size of the dial determines how much air it can store. If you install it on the stern of the boat, the wind can push it forward, and that's how the Waver moves."
Nami, after delivering a quick punch to Luffy for fooling around, took the Breath Dial and nodded in understanding. "Got it. Thanks for the explanation."
Conis continued, "Actually, there are many other types of transportation with dials, like the Jet Board and Shooter. I focused a lot on mastering the Waver, so I haven't tried those yet."
Luffy, eyes wide with excitement, exclaimed, "Ah! I'm so envious! Just the small Waver is already fun enough, but there are other cool things too? I want them all! If I had one, I'd have fun every day!"
Bai Ye, remembering how Luffy capsized almost immediately after getting on a Waver in the original story, couldn't help but smile wryly. Nami, standing nearby, was equally enthusiastic. "Yes, I'd love to try them too."
In the original story, Nami had quickly learned to handle the Waver, much to the surprise of Conis and her father. As Conis was about to respond, Robin, lounging on the sofa, interjected, "In addition to these, there must be other types of dials, right? Like this lamp."
Conis nodded, "That's right. This is a Lamp Dial." She turned on the lamp, and it glowed softly. Chopper and Merry, standing nearby, gasped in amazement.
"Wow! It's glowing!" "It's amazing!"
Seeing their delighted expressions, Conis smiled warmly and continued to rummage through a box of dials. "In the sky island, people's lives are closely tied to dials. Besides the ones I've mentioned, there are Flame Dials that can store fire, Flavor Dials that store scents, Vision Dials that capture images, and many more."
Listening to Conis's explanations, the Straw Hats, especially Nami and Luffy, were fascinated and eager to learn more.
Luffy laughed out loud, "Sky Island is really an awesome adventure place!"
Just then, Pagaya's voice called from outside the door, "Everyone, dinner is ready! Let's taste the special food of our Sky Island."
Since earlier, he had been busy in the kitchen, with Sanji helping. Sanji added, "Robin-san, Nami-san, come and taste what I made specially for you... Sky Island's special love dishes!"
"Sanji! Where's mine?!" Luffy yelled.
"You're so annoying. I'll give you a grilled fish soon," Sanji retorted.
Conis then spoke up, "Let's all have dinner together."
At the dinner table, everyone got ready to try the special dishes made by Sanji and Pagaya. The Straw Hat crew dug in with gusto. Even Bai Ye couldn't help but admire the flavors of the fish from 10,000 meters above sea level. "This is really delicious," he said.
Pagaya laughed happily, and Conis smiled, nodding. "Hahaha, Conis and I are very satisfied if we can make our guests happy."
It was clear that both were very hospitable. The corners of Bai Ye's mouth curled up in a smile as he said, "So, can we stay with you for a few days?"
Bai Ye's plan was simple. Defeating Enel and liberating Upper Yard was straightforward. The top priority now was to explore the island. Having Conis and Pagaya as guides would make everything easier.
Without hesitation, Pagaya and Conis agreed. "There's no problem at all. There are only the two of us here. We're very happy to have so many guests now," Pagaya said, his eyes narrowing with a smile.
Luffy, stuffing meat into his mouth, said, "Uncle, you're really a nice person. Can you give us some more bento? The meat here is delicious."
Pagaya nodded. "Yes."
Usopp suddenly remembered something and said to Pagaya, "By the way, you said you can repair the Waver. Can you teach me about dials and wavers? I'm really interested."
Pagaya nodded again. "No problem, I can also give you some related tools."
Usopp's excitement was palpable. "Hahaha, thank you so much, uncle."
Just then, Luffy started again, "Hey, uncle, I still want—"
SMACK! Before he could finish, Nami, who had come up behind him, punched him.
"That's enough, you glutton!" Nami's voice echoed.
