So after the last two chapters I think it's safe to say that Zoro is in pretty bad shape at the moment. Not only did he block Hakkai for a couple seconds, but he's also taken the backend of a Thunder Bagua. Now it seems he's clearly out of commission for the time being, but I don't think it's to the point where he might actually die. The thing is, however, is Zoro is not going to be out of the fight for the rest of the arc, and will definitely come back at some point.
The question is though, is how much will he be healed back up when he does get back into the fight, and what else is he going to go through before this arc wraps up?
Two good secondary candidates are Kid and Killer, as they have broken off to go and fight Big Mom on their own.
There is also still the prospect of Luffy as he is now locked into a 1 v 1 battle with Kaido, and no matter if he does end up pulling off the win by the end of this, he's definitely going to be worse for wear.
I think it's a pretty safe bet that Oda has boiled it down to these four, with Zoro at the forefront at the moment. Although this is Oda we are talking about, so he could end up throwing everyone for a loop by the end of all this.
