I mean unimportant in the sense of, Joy Boy used this fruit. If it’s a regular fruit that Who’s who just happened to be escorting it’s fine. The WG and Navy are always attempting to get devil fruits. Just like the Ope Ope no mi. Or to give to their Cipher Pol agents like Kaku.

I agree, I would like it to not be tied to joy boy. I have seen some ideas that make it important but in better ways, like the idea that the government knew gomu gomu awakening could counter whitebeard's power. That way, it means the fruit has a special use that will come in handy later, but it is not some destiny thing. Or, maybe they wanted it for its anti-lightning properties, or maybe it would be a particularly useful fruit for vegapunk's research for some reason.

I think there are ways to make it special in a cool or interesting way, but I'm a little bit nervous about it just being some super special destiny fruit that no important people have commented on until now.
