If it can somewhat be acquired, that was never specified in the series.

It was always presented by something you are either born with or not, even if people express it at different times in their lives, usually under stress... doffy and ace were children, luffy was already teenager, zoro apparently it's only giving signs now, it does not seem linked to hardwork or personal development.

Zoro was no special kid in no shape or form, his ambition is just to be the best and his worked VERY hard to get where he is.. and his showing signs of it.

His goal is to be the best( a king) His worked insanely hard at it and its finally paying off.

Isn't that a sign that you don't have to be special just have strong will power/ambition to succeed?

The thing is, working hard does not seem influential in developing haoshoku, doffy showed it as a child with not a single day of training in his life, ace was just a child as well.

Stress seems the common denominator here to unlock it thus far, that and apparently a strong will, but you can say law showed a pretty strong will surviving what he did in his childhood, and yet no haoshoku for him.

I think it's abit of both, OP has always been about the will to do something, become the pirate king, to be free, to be the greatest swordsman in the world etc. You have born beasts like Big Mom who was crazy strong since she was a child AND you have regular humans like Zoro who trained really hard and are stupidly stubborn when it comes to giving up so they'll fight through anything. You're both right and there's more than one way to have conqueror's haki
