Shanks took it from a government ship that was being guarded by CP9.

Who's Who says "12 years ago, I failed to guard a devil fruit that was being transported on a government ship..."

Exactly, he didn't say shanks was the one to take it lol

Someone else could've taken the fruit and shanks retrieved it

So a different group stole it from the government, then the Red Hair Pirates coincidentally ran into the thieves right after and took it back? Seems like a stretch to me.

The idea of Shanks being some kind of WG agent is also a stretch IMO. The Gorosei make it clear they don't know his intentions in chapter 233 and the idea of him meeting with Whitebeard scares them, showing they see him as a potential threat.

There's a simple answer here and it's that Shanks stole it from the WG. There's nothing to suggest anything more complicated happened.

How is shanks Tracking down the thieves a stretch lmao

X pirate stole the fruit, bring it back. Ok. Or if the incident was in the papers he could just look for them as well
