Mysterious devices made from the remains of particular shellfish, which have the ability to store energy and matter. There are many types of Dials that store various things depending on their type and most of them seem to be common throughout sky islands, though their rarity can vary by type with some being native to specific regions.
Dials come in many sizes and shapes, from the size of an average seashell to the size of a human. Dials store energy and matter itself, usually by that particular type of energy or matter being absorbed by a tiny hole or holes on one side of the Dial. The content can then be released by pressing the apex on the other side of the Dial. As long as they are not used or damaged, Dials seem to be capable of storing their contents indefinitely. If the shell of the Dial is broken they can become unusable. Dials based on clouds are rendered useless on the Blue Sea due to the inability of the clouds to survive at that atmospheric temperature and pressure.
Dials can be purchased outside of a sky island, or even the Grand Line, as long as the way you gain it in a story line warrants it.

Type | Description | Price |
Axe Dial | A rare dial that delivers a thin blast of air in the shape of an X that is capable of slicing through iron in one blow. | 10,000,000 |
Ball Dial | Releases a puff of clouds that forms into a ball shape upon being released, which can be used for sitting or standing on, or be applied with explosives and other features | 3,000,000 |
Breath Dials | Capable of storing air-currents.[6] These Dials are usually used to propel wavers through water and on ships if there is no wind for sailing. These Dials can also be attached to the sides of a snowboard or "skates" as alternative methods of travel. Breath Dials can carry smells and aromas as well. They are handy for storing gases, such as poisons, bad scents, and flammable substances. | 1,000,000 |
Flame Dials | Absorbs and releases fire; it is not to be confused with Heat Dials | 4,000,000 |
Flash Dials | The Flash Dial lets out an extremely bright amount of light for a very brief period, effectively causing temporary blindness if used against a person. | 3,000,000 |
Flavor Dials | Can store smells and aromas, along with other types of gas, such as explosive and flammable ones. The Flavor Dial is the most effective Dial for this and does not release the scents and gasses in a short burst like the Breath Dial. | 2,000,000 |
Heat Dials | Stores and releases heat energy. It is commonly used to power up ovens and other heating devices for citizens of sky islands. It appears to be able to let out heat in different amounts. | 1,000,000 |
Impact Dials | May be hit by anything blunt or incapable of slicing and will absorb the kinetic energy. Once the apex of the Dial is pressed, the stored energy is released, usually causing internal injuries to a living body, while not leaving any visible external damage. The Impact Dial can still hurt the user through the backlash caused when such a large amount of energy is released | 40,000,000 |
Jet Dials | A more powerful version of the Breath Dial, which blows out a burst of air at great speed. This allows them to be used for faster propelling purposes. | 20,000,000 |
Lamp Dials | Similar to the Flash Dial, capable of storing and releasing light. Unlike the Flash Dial, however, it releases light steadily rather than all at once, hence the name, making it much less useful for combat purposes, but much more useful for domestic purposes. | 1,000,000 |
Eisen Dials | Extremely rare, and one of the most formidable dials used for combat. It emits a stream of "iron cloud" that can form into different shapes, like a cloud, but is as hard as iron. It can lengthen and/or widen without limits and can even form thick defensive walls. | 30,000,000 |
Milky Dials | This can be used to create pathways in the air out of clouds, upon which devices capable of moving upon clouds can travel. | 3,000,000 |
Reject Dials | A much rarer and more powerful version of the Impact Dial. When used, it unleashes whatever force it had absorbed up to that point tenfold, but the backlash is hazardous to the user, powerful enough to destroy the body of an inexperienced user. Due to this, they are rarely used. | 50,000,000 |
Tone Dials | Able to record and replay sounds spoken into it, akin to an audio recorder. | 2,000,000 |
Vision Dials | Used for capturing images and playing them back,[6] comparable to a modern-day camera. It is useful for scouting and recording evidence. | 2,000,000 |
Water Diels | Used for storing and releasing water.[10] Capable of extinguishing fire. | 8,000,000 |
Thunder Dials | Used for storing and releasing electricity. | 8,000,000 |
