I’m on the same boat. I still don’t think Oda will have a protagonist kill a main antagonist on panel. Nor will he put an asterisk next to Luffys big victory.
Oda always put asterisks on Luffy's victories :
- Doffy --> Guts saving him + Law gamma knife
- Cracker ---> Nami saving his ass
- Katakuri ---> Kat Self Nerf
- Kaido ---> Zoro already injured him + Stamina consumed by fighting 10+ dudes
There is ALWAYS asterisks on luffy's "W"
