I think Oda will go full circle in Devil Fruits.
Devil Fruits was the most important aspect in pre-timeskip fights.
Haki was created as a way to balance hax Devil Fruits, while keeping non-devil fruit users still relevant in combat. Therefore it have become the most important aspect in the New world fights.
I think Devil Fruit will make a comeback as the most relevant element in fights next arc.
The reason for me to believe this Is Luffy mastering all haki forms in Wano. Luffy EoS power up will be awakening, and the creativity of Devil fruit mastering will become relevant again.
Another reason for me to believe this Is the Admirals and Blackbeard Pirates portrayal. Both groups are Devil Fruit centric and i don't believe Shanks crew will be antagonistic for too long.
Last reason Is the Devil Fruit lore that will certainly be relevant in the last arcs, probably having an efect in Devil fruit fights.
What do you guys think?
