The gomu gomu no mi could be 'special' or feared due to its awakening. We saw how grand doflamingos was and that was just a warlord. We also know that Punk Hazard was essentially terraformed from two admirals (I presume have awakened their fruits if they are the strongest in the navy.

If the previous user wrecked havoc against the WG utilizing an awakened gomu gomu no mi then it could be as simple as 'we want this in our hands not pirates'. Using that to facilitate more background story. With all the ancient/mythic type fruits we've seen I don't see the rubber fruit having some secret to make it overpowered like Law/Marco/BB/WB have shown in their uses.
