"There are lots, yeah. His is one of the most impressive, but there are fruits that allow people to cause earthquakes, to control magma, to transform into creatures that only exist in mythology otherwise. And people can do a lot with something that sounds insignificant if they try hard enough."

He frowns, debating with himself a moment before continuing on that last point.

"My brother's powers are over string. Sounds useless, right? But he can use them like fine blades, he can turn people into his puppets and control their actions, and from what Law has told me, he's... awakened his power, is what we call it. He can turn anything into string, rather than just creating them. He can level entire cities that way. Took over a whole kingdom and slaughtered hundreds, maybe thousands of people," he explains solemnly.

With his own powers he could probably do something similar. The thought has occurred to him at times recently, in talking with Will about how to actually use his abilities. To calm something is to stop the vibration of the things that make it real, the particles and waves he's learned about since. What he plays off as a lack of creativity, while once true, is now in some part a fear of pushing his powers into something monstrous.
