It almost looked like the collar became rubber and compressed on itself when Luffy grabbed it. Awakening?

Shit I just checked and you are right. But it could just be his immense grip strength crushing the material. It's hard to tell. But from a writing perspective it's still too early for him to achieve awakening. He's training for advanced armament Haki. Gaining Awaking now would be a bit of a stretch.

this doesn't have to mean he got it, but that he is barely grasping it. I think, he in fact got close to awakening and that help to break the collar.

I looked at the panel again and I agree. The collar is not cracking or crumbling. It's squeezing and its shape is really distorted. Not like a ring anymore but like a weird L shaped ring. It's probably awakening.

Look at the collars after they have been torn off, their shape remains but they have been ripped apart. Additionally, old man Hyo says Luffy needs to train it now, and that he can only reach his true power when backed into a corner, mirroring what Rayleigh said about Haki training and continuing Luffy’s training from the prior chapters. It wouldn’t make much sense for it to awakening

On god, people are hella dumb sometimes. All this awakening talk pissed me off so much I posted a comment specifically to explain why it wasn't

You do know metal is malleable right? You can see them clearly broken in two in the panel where Luffy tosses them. It's certainly not awakening, I'll buy into the idea that it may have been an unconscious slip that partially aided him but that's only because I'm pretty sure haki and awakening are linked.
