Sanji has always had the potential to master Royal Haki.
Back in the “Baratti” arc, Zeff said in Chapter 65 that Luffy has an inner core. He doesn’t have a shred of doubt. His confidence dispels any doubts. And in Chapter 66, Zeff tells Sanji that he knows one idiot who constantly holds back his “inner core” for no good reason.
In Chapter 570, Emporio Ivankov says that Royal Will is the reason why people rally around its wielder.
In Chapter 597, Rayleigh says that the power of Haki lies in the absence of doubt. He also says that one can only be born with Royal Haki—it’s either there or it isn’t. However, whether it awakens or not, as well as how powerful it will be, depends on the development of one’s personality.
It turns out that doubt is the very factor that prevents Royal Haki from awakening.
Gaban said he senses that Sanji has the right potential, and this is true:
1) Sanji comes from a royal family; he is a prince by birthright. Authority runs in his blood.
2) Sanji is capable of uniting people around him. Remember the soldiers from G-5—they followed Sanji and obeyed his orders, even though they were enemies. Similarly, the Mink on Zoya Island regarded Sanji as the leader of the Mink.
3) The part of the crew that set out for Zoya Island was named in his honor, and he was the captain at that time—the decision-maker.
4) Those who were enemies became allies, all because of Sanji: Viola, Pudding, Tashigi, and the G-5, Germa 66, as well as Gin, Bon Clay, Duval…
Sanji’s personality is actively developing, but he hasn’t yet overcome his doubts. This whole situation with Zaza demonstrates that.
I think Sanji will have to come to a conclusion something like this: “I define myself, not my principles. If my principles conflict with what I believe is right, I will choose how to act on my own, and my principles will not dictate my behavior.”
He’s afraid that if he sets aside his doubts, he’ll become like his father. In principle, these fears aren’t unfounded—just think of those illustrations the manga author drew 20–40 years in the future—where, if Sanji follows in his father’s footsteps, he’ll end up looking just like him.
Also, having the potential for Royal Haki and awakening that power are two different things. Perhaps Sanji won’t even want to awaken that power.
I’d like him to awaken it. But who knows—maybe he’ll choose his own path again.

I'm in dreamland here, fantasizing about the power ups Sanji can get this arc once he shatters the chains that constrain him.
Invisibility (without the raidsuit)
Enhanced Regeneration
Stronger Exoskeleton
Levitation
Longrange Attacks
Future Sight
Advanced Conqueror's Haki
Black Flames (Special Properties)
We're in the endgame bois. There is no time to hold back. Shattering his mental chains will instantly open the floodgates for every single power on this list.

Wanjiiiiii
Also, love Zoro's confidence in our boi. I mean, they still bark at each other "hey don't you dare fail this", but they are defending each other in front of outsiders. True sibling energy there.
Also love how Sanji's importance was highlighted last chapter, as Luffy is running on food, lol. Sanji's going to be a King of the Kitchen, oh wait, he already is.
Too bad we probably will have to wait like 2-3 chapters before there's any progress.
