I dont think its Haki. If it was Luffy or others would have recognized it, but everyone seemed to be in shock. Im not ruling out haki though, it has the potential to be very strong. Vergo's haki-imbued bamboo stick was able to break through Smoker's seastone-tipped jitte, and seastone is supposed to be stronger than diamond. That being said, I still think it is some forcefield DF.
