Yes, yes it does. It was only a matter before unstability of Wano to truly erupt and Orochi will face the consequences he pulled on Oden will bite him back. Also Luffy has to fight Big Mom, he couldn't push her back, even with Fourth Gear. This trial maybe the thing that allows Luffy not to use too much Haki before it burnsout.
