It's a double edged sword. At the moment, we have no idea what caused this to awaken and probably won't considering this parallels the Gear 2nd showcase in Enies Lobby. I agree with a lot of people that the Chosen One stuff really dampens part of what made Luffy so endearing (unlikely hero).
However, on the plus side, it feels like we've gone full circle and we're seeing some of the humor and fighting style of early One Piece again. I'll be honest, I really find Haki to be a boring power system. And even thought Gear 5th "Radiates Conqueror's", it feels like the fighting style is going to be limiting how much "haki clash" we see. But maybe I'll be proven wrong.
