Haki itself seems that it will be one of the main power-ups that atleast Luffy will recieve entering the New World to let him compete with the new and powerful adversaries that they're bound to confront.

At the same time it looks much more complex than just a simple power-up that let's someone create some sort of force without any actual physical involvement. It might be something that is already there without prior knowledge or is somehow awakened a certain way or for a certain purpose. Afterall we did see an agitated Shanks knowingly let his Haki out on Whitebeard's crew because it was an enemy ship.

Another thing that comes to mind is that Haki is somehow connected to The Will Of D. I really have no basis for this except that the people we've seen it used so far have had a strong connection with a "D." Luffy being one himself.

Whatever it is, I doubt that it's more the deciding factor in a fight than it is something that might have more story relation and tie-ins to do with the plot of One Piece.
