Powers & Abilities Strawhats Powerups on Elbaf?

I’ll probably be wrong on this but my guess or rather hope is that the SHs learn a completely new form or application of Haki that each of them will then utilize to improve all of their current skills. Maybe some ancient application or something like that’s been lost in the annals of history coz all of the weaker SHs learning armament for instance, feels a tad underwhelming even more so when you have Franky one-shoting VAs without Haki.
So PU wise I’d hope they all get unique power ups with the new form of Haki at it’s base & then I’d also like to see Haki affinity come into play so would be dope if the M3 all learnt unique advanced applications of their respective affinities.

I hope the crew improve, either in fights or after the battles. Ideally if they don't get haki mid-battle (the ones that don't have it), them recognizing that that's an issue and learning it post-battle would be nice.
Luffy: Improved G5 time limit and VOAT/observation haki improvement if Oda wants.
Zoro: He seems pretty well-rounded and I'm not sure if Oda would have him struggle to prompt a power-up. Maybe just new moves to show he's always working on something.
Sanji: Future Sight is the main one I hope for. If he can't use whatever Gaban used to overcome regen then that as well.
Jimbei: Not sure, he's pretty well-rounded and I'm not sure if Oda will have him get a serious fight this arc, but it'd be nice.
Franky, Robin, Brook, Chopper: Armament haki.
Nami: Observation haki perhaps to prevent close calls like needing to move on his own after a missed hit. I like that she's a glass cannon.
Usopp: Armament haki should improve his offense and consistent usage of observation haki should put him on the right track.

Problem with the SHs learning generic Haki again I think is time. It took the M3 2 years for the most part to learn the basics of Haki so seems a bit unreasonable to expect them to learn it in such a short amount of time. Then there’s the problem of how efficient it’d be right off the jump. Unless we get a timeskip on Elbaf it doesn’t feel very feasible. Hence why I feel like something a bit more abstract will serve all of them better.
With regard to the M3:
On Luffy, I feel like the next step of progression for him has to be improving his CoC to at least allow him encroach on Shanks’ level of CoC prowess so I reckon being able to apply it more creatively as opposed to simply coating it 💀 should be the way to go for him ^^
On Zoro, I feel like the next step for him is a black blade so would be dope if whatever he learns on Elbaf ties into that.
On Sanji, I do think he will get FS the issue is simply timing but I won’t be opposed to him learning something completely different either. I think there’s a possibility Sanji becomes able to utilize a perception type ability of the 3-eyed clan considering Oda seems to be giving him abilities of the ancient races (I.e ability to combust into flames like the lunarians & PoL like the buccaneers ^^). Also I can’t help but feel that Oda will be fleshing out PoL this arc so will be dope if whatever new form of Haki he learns can be used to supplement that.

Not necessarily. Training on a island for 2 years isn't the only way to learn haki, we saw with characters like the SNs that developing haki through battles alone is a thing too. It's very likely the mid trio/weak trio improved their dormant haki by fighting strong foes constantly,
which we know is possible because BB commented on Luffy's haki being stronger than before when he saw him at Impel Down, even though Luffy couldn't consciously use it at the time. And even the weakest of them all unlocked CoO a mere week after the crew reunited following the timeskip.
So rather than thinking they would need to learn it very quickly, maybe them learning to use it the whole time without even realizing it is the right way to look at it.
