I'm guessing rather than actual resurrection, you mean (forward) time travel? Toki herself is the only one who would have had that fruit's ability for the last 800 years, so are you saying she awakened it and did a mass time travel event for all those people ≥800 years before?Ok here is one crazy prediction:
We will see Toki Toki no Mi effects again and on a much larger scale. Core characters from Ancient Kingdom will come back for the final showdown (yes, hello Edo Tensei). One of the reason WG hides ancient history is because they know that Toki fruit was used and AK in some capacity is coming back and don't want to give them any possible sympathizers. Those AK characters will be presented as Devils by WG but of course will act as allies to SHs.
Edit: I don't know much about Japanese mythology, but those good AK characters could have some mythical zoan fruits of "good" folklore beings and gods.
This would be really interesting except that unless Luffy's exception can be extended to his crew somehow, Nico Robin would be excluded. Beyond that, Imu backwards in Japanese is "mui," not "umi."Laugh Tale is an artificial or artificially altered Island created by the people of the Void Century which rejects Devil Fruit users, hence why Buggy, the only one in Rogers crew with a DF, got sick getting closer to it and was unable to go further. That's also the reason why no one in Shanks crew ate a DF because Shanks knows at least that much. Which is also why BB will never get his hands on the One Piece, at least not on Laugh Tale. Luffy will be the exception because he is Nika and I think that's also the reason why Shanks was interested at least in that fruit and why he had to wait for Luffy to awaken Nika.
That is so because the creators wanted to keep the Devil (Imu, reverse for Umi because everything is reverse with the Devil involved) away from treasure, since it will not only hold information about the past or the void century, but also a prophecy. Devil fruits will somehow tie to Imu or their race.
I do think if he really wanted, Oda could easily use some compound of 無 to make "Mui" refer to a sense of meaninglessness or nothingness, but I can't see that being connected with the sea right now. It isn't necessary though, because "Imu" already has the "mu" sound in it so people probably think of it as negating or nullifying something (or just being empty), just by the nature of the sounds involved.
