"Oda would not introduce a new power system this late in the game" people when you remind them Oda literally retconned Luffys devil fruit into a divine zoan with zero fucks given after 1000 chapters of him being the rubber guy.
Legit anybody still in denial yes, Oda will introduce magic because he liked Black Clover or saw a stage magician some day and thought the power system was dope with ZERO hesitation on his part.
That man does not give a FUCK about something being "too late" to be introduced. Chances are it will take 20 year before the story is over anyway!
Haki is also arguably already one of if not the worst power system in main stream shonen and pretty much soft and uncreative reality warping. Nothing is lost via Oda at least TRYING to make something better than it or expanding upon it with magic.
Hell, if he REALLY wants to, Oda can just go “Imu just has such strong Haki/willpower they gaslight themselves into thinking magic is real and thus magic is real” in an SBS in ten years. Who cares? Either way, it sure as shit is something new.
The ancient kingdom was the ENEMY of Imu with stupidly advanced sci-fi tech and world altering super weapons that make Vegapunk look like a drooling moron in comparison. And judging by Gunkos transformation? Imu was the giant devil thing several hundred times larger than even ancient giants that wrecked said Ancient Kingdoms ass and erased them.
It wont be tech, nor a devil fruit, that makes imu this stupidly strong.
Be it them being a devil or god, they are the intro to a whole new "thing" and system of power in totality in One Piece and a LOT of people are not ready for that fact and it shows.
