So with the unofficial scans coming out now, I think I'm happy with this result.
It does make the WG look like complete idiots though, because if they knew it so dangerous Luffy should have been sought after as soon as that information was known, but I'll let that slide just because it's an absurd powerup.
It now makes sense that Shanks and his crew were in some remote far off part of East Blue after stealing the thing. The only way it makes sense from a World Government perspective is that if they didn't know Shanks and Luffy came into contact, they probably believe Luffy had the legit Gomu Gomu no Mi. Though I think they should've probably been curious after Enies Lobby when he was fully on their radar. Still, it's a tremendous oversight for them to not consider Luffy was rocking this fruit until THIS FAR into the story.
