Also Brook died and his spirit floated around for years before finding his body, let's not forget that.
And Zoro's spirit manifests itself as extra arms in his 9-sword style.
So three examples, minimum, not all of whom involve devil fruit.
I don't think it's strictly necessary to prove the point, something doesn't have to have active spiritual abilities for ninja mind-affecting powers to work (Ino possessed a random bird!), but the examples are there in any case.
This is what your not getting you cant say something exists with no proof if this was court you would lose because just saying something over and over doesnt make it true if you can show me spiritual and universal energy and prove to me it exists until then your being irrelevant
I get what you're saying, I simply disagree with it.
The fact remains even without the multiple examples otherwise, genjutsu works on everything with a brain. It's a universal ability.
For versus battles, it makes sense to consider abilities universal between universes in addition to their own, even if the explanations are a bit different, because the point of a versus is to compare two side's full abilities.
It's not as fun if one side is automatically handicapped just for being put in a fight.
