    One of my favorites is how tiny pieces of lore in One Piece become major plot points later. At first, people thought it was some 5D chess foreshadowing. Nope, it turns out the lead writer just goes back and re-reads his old content when he starts running out of ideas. He’ll just grab some tiny thing from like two years ago, and turn it into the next major plot hook.

      Yeah, haki isn’t a thing when Oda did the first chapter, but heck yeah it just make sense later on why the fish would just run with just a stare, and how Garp is feared for just being a normal human without power. It’s also funny that later on Seastone isn’t much of a plot point when fighting Logia, considering Smoker have to custom made his baton with a Seastone to beat fruit user.
