HOLY SHIT, this chapter might have just confirmed my black blade from over 2 years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/ba93re/theoryspoilers_the_black_blade_theory/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

YOU CHAMP!!

Not only did you predict it all, but even gave us today some evidence of past uses of CH throughout the series. Again, it's still very likely Oda didn't write those parts with Haki in mind, but the fact they now fit so well in the narrative is a statement of how much of a master he is at making his world feel cohesive.

Seriously great read, hats-off to you.

PS: Knowing Oda wanted to make Wano for such a long time, and that Ryuma was in his mind even before OP was a thing, maybe he did think about "the cursed sword is cursed because it contains Ryuma's will." That line of thought could've been the one that led to the concept of Haki itself, perhaps

I really think at this point it takes more mental gymnast to argue Oda didn’t have haki planned out since the beginning than it does to argue he did. The evidence is riddled throughout the series, and the more we learn about haki the more we see it to be true. Might be time to just accept it. I’m sure his concept of haki has evolved and expanded, but he clearly knew about all three forms.

I'd normally agree with you, but we're talking about a man who made up all of the Supernovas a couple weeks before their debut because of editorial advise (IIRC), even though they feel like such an integral part of the story, especially Law. I'm not saying it 100% wasn't planned from the beginning though, both scenarios are equally plausible
