Most of the people here have the opinion that Shiryu getting the Invi DF is not a good thing/not a powerup. And when you compare it to DFs like Burgess, Van Auger, Pizarro it does seem pretty underwhelming on face value (@Rootbeer).
What we do know is that the BBPs have been hunting DFs (Burgess in DR etc.) and BB also knows a lot about the DFs. So why would they give such an underwhelming DF to Shiryu, the captain of the 2nd ship, the No.2 of the crew as per the cover page? You look at Burgess, Van Auger and Doc Q having fruits that complement their styles/techniques. Most likely the same is true for all the other BBPs.
Then we have this DF which has been shown in pre TS, the powers that it gives, how those powers can be countered, even most recently in Wano and Onigashima with Queen and Sanji too.
Funny thing is that the Invi and Gura DF are the ones which the manga has shown previously being used by their previous and then these users being killed and the DFs stolen. Yami and Mera were also stolen but Yami's previous use was not shown and Mera was won in a tournament.
Shiryu also has had the Invi DF only recently, post TS.
So what makes the Invi/Clear DF so special? On one hand we can say that it complements Shiryu's high AP (it's not Yonko level but being considered deadlier than Magellan who possesses the DF which could melt ID is something) but then the fruit's usage has been shown countered twice in the manga already (thrice if you count Garp's slam).
I read somewhere (on this forum) that BB wanted the Invi/Clear DF himself earlier, before the Yami. Was it just for perverted things like Sanji and Absalom or was there more to it?
