Like DP said, it's about the character's potential. People with CH usually become one of the strongest people in the world. Hancock is probably the strongest woman we have met so far, and Roger, WB, and Shanks are all considered some of the strongest pirates of all time. How'd they get this way? Were they always this strong? No, but it seems CH characters have a knack for surviving and wrecking havoc across the World. Everyone is afraid that Luffy has the potential to be as strong because there is a pattern that proves people with that type of Haki are beasts.
