When Sabo and Lucci clashed in the movie “Gold”, their fists emitted electric haki upon impact with each other. What is that reminiscent of? Luffy in his fight against Chinjao, which took place in the Dressrosa arc, which the film was released shortly after said arc.
During that instance in the coliseum, literally right before that Chinjao was giving Luffy a talk about “Conquerors” present in the New World and that it’s not as rare as he thinks. The clash of lightning being the highlight…. We see it again with Doflamingo once Luffy clashes with him.

We see this same lightning effect arcing from CoC users on other occasions since, like Whitebeard clashing with Roger.
You’re probably going “but that’s filler you dumbass” “it’s a flashy special effect TOEI put in that disregards actual rules set by the manga” or whatever but think again. Oda had his hands in the cookie jar with the production of this movie.
He created the new characters+location, advertised the movie and all. GODA’S INTENT IS CLEAR:

Oda even sets these two to be rivals once again with the One Piece World Seeker game in which they fight multiple times and end with a stalemate explosion that sends them both flying in a mountain level explosion

AND ONCE AGAIN THERE IS LIGHTNING IMVOLVED IN THEIR CLASH!!
