Thor's righteous speech abruptly cut off, because he saw a ball of light appear in Shin's hand.
The light itself was not the key. What mattered was the shape it had condensed into. It was a fruit—a very strange fruit—glittering with brilliant yellow radiance and looking somewhat like a pineapple.
"This is..." Brief confusion appeared in Thor's eyes, then his mouth slowly fell open. "A Devil Fruit," and an exceptionally powerful one at that.
