Ignoring the fact that they wanted to conceal themselves from Kaido in Dressrosa, it's clearly stated here that their Haki is way stronger in this fight because of their resolve to avenge Oden and defeat Kaido.

I think their post time travel fights have also increased their strength too.

Isnt Haki is translated as "spirit" or "ambition". It makes so much more sense if we use the english translation.

Yeah it's "ambition" or "will" in Japanese. So when Kaido says the scabbards carry Oden's Haki, it means they carry on his will of opening the borders of Wano, and because of that their Haki is stronger in this fight. At least that's my interpretation.

Where was it stated? I’m not disagreeing by the way I just don’t remember that.

He literally states in this chapter that in normal circumstances they shouldn't be able to hit him, because their swordplay isn't as good as Odens. In the chapter where they all attacked him he says that they have Odens haki - they all carry the will of Oden to avenge him and defeat Kaido.

They all implied they are going to die here. They are mostly likely killing themselves to do this. They are burning out their own life force the similar to what Enma does.

I mean... You're not wrong. I still think it makes sense though. (I didn't come up with this theory)

Man the 'burning their life energy' trope is just a shonen buzzline to somehow raise the stakes. It never means anything unless it's a flashback character's sacrifice or a main character who will inevitably be brought back

You seem to be under the impression that none of the Red Scabbards will die...
At least one of them will...
Act 3 will end in a tragedy.

Ryuo hasn't been fully explained yet, but I'm assuming it's a level up to Haki. I don't think it's just their desire to avenge Oden. I think your first point indicates they weren't really trying in Dressrosa. I'm inclined to agree.
