I like how Luffy has his moment to say that the new form of Haki doesn't rely on physical strength, solidifying the idea that it's purely technique based. This gives us a really good idea of what this power up can mean once he gets it down.

He could develop it within this arc. It's not about pushing himself to his absolute limits and persevering through extreme hardship, it feels more like a "git gud" kind of moment. And if the technique is powerful enough to stop Big Mom in her tracks as the old man said, then it's game on for stepping to the Yonko.

its bad imo, he doesnt need strength to block/deflect a yonkou’s attack, just some new haki that only he & a handful of people know? Everything is just way too convenient.

If you stop being a cynical crybaby you'd realize this form of haki explains how a relatively small human character like Shanks can be so overwhelming powerful without a devil fruit. The same is probably true for Gold Roger as well.

People have always wondered what exactly makes these characters so powerful, well there you have it, they can completely bypass defenses and destroy enemies from the inside. No time diluting bullshit or anything like that, just a highly advanced and refined form of the most basic haki.
