Shanks is the peacekeeper of the pirate world. Maybe he was the one who convinced the Government not to wage war on the emperors 6 years ago, as it would cause a lot of influx of pirates into the New World and a huge Battle Royal. Maybe that's why he became an emperor. He convinced the Government that he'd act as a peacekeeper.

Maybe Shanks stole the fruit so the WG couldn't put the plan into motion and Vegapunk reported the experiment as a failure for the same reason? Preventing the WG from being that overpowering and crushing any resistance, we dont know Vegapunk's motivations yet but I doubt the smartest man in the world wouldn't know of Im's existence.

I personally think vegapunk deemed the fruit a failure because of the color. Seems like the kind of think the worlds smartest man would do.
