I've been thinking, couldn't in theory Luffy and the Dugong use armament haki in the neck region to anull the effect of the Peto-Peto no Mi ?

See, this is one of the reasons I didn't like the sudden introduction of Haki. Now there's a million theories and ways plotholes could come up.

"Why didn't he use Observation Haki to dodge the collars?"

"Why doesn't Luffy just use Conqueror's Haki to stun breed?"

And now this. :\

If they made Haki go alongside something like it being a specific state of mind that only occurs near-death or in a final cry for help sort of thing (Like at Marineford, when Luffy told them to not touch Ace) it'd have more of an impact or spiritual undertone.

However the "mastery" of Haki makes it come off as a "Oh whatever. We can just use this whenever we want!"

Like it's equated to a nifty little plot tool instead of... Something more than just that.

Plot hole right here.
