The last two chapters once again reinforced the similarities and that Luffy and Zoro both inherited Oden's will. Zoro specifically has a much stronger claim to his will than Yamao does, as he's the one that was officially bestowed Oden's katana, (where the will of the samurai resides).
So reviewing things again, Robin already covers Oden's job on Roger's crew with the ponegliffs. Zoro has Oden's sword and is taking up his battle. And Luffy also has his strength and Oden's ideals of freedom and adventuring.
The traits of Oden are already completely covered within the crew, and by people that have far more of a claim to these things than Yamao ever could. There has never been any case before where straw hats have had more of a connection to another straw hat's mentor figure than that straw hat themself. And for obvious reason too.
There's a very stark contrast between Yamao running around beclowning herself, telling everyone to call her Oden as she role plays him, and then looking at Zoro and Luffy, who are their own people, doing their own things, but just so happen to parallel the same aspirations, ideals and will that Oden himself possessed.
