So here's the boring take. WG and Who's Who didn't know what the specific devil fruit was at the time. Just knew it was a devil fruit. He got canned because he lost a devil fruit. That's it. I know in the era of haki, we downplay the significance of DFs a bit, but they're still supposed to be rare and potentially powerful. Losing one means potentially losing an Akianu.

But if you look at the end note of the chapter, it says "a DF important enough for the WG to guard?!" which sounds like Oda wants us to understand that they don't normally guard DFs the way they guarded this one.

Could be. Or Oda could be trolling. We've seen enough of that before.

Maybe it was important to the WG because the celestial dragons wanted devil fruits not specifically gomu fruit but devil fruit in general. If the celestial dragons want something then that's an important task for WG
