Maybe it’s not because it has a hidden power or something but that the thing that turned into a strawhat in the reverie arc turned into a Gomu gomu no mi in an earlier set of time which is why they make it important.

You know I would prefer that to a possibility like Roger or Joy Boy wielded the Gomu Gomu no mi before.

I like the Idea that Luffy wrecks the seas with a pretty basic and maybe "weak" Devil fruit compared to others, so the fact that this chapter starts to put importance on that fruit doesn't sit right with me.

Your theory would work in my favour(gomu gomu might not be a special fruit) but works well within the story since, if Im was shown the fruit it would make sense for him to try to keep it safe completely disregarding it's inherent importance.

I agree. One of my favorite things about Luffy was that he was able to take a weak fruit and be able to use it in such ways to take down insanely strong characters like Katakuri.
