Kaido with awakening is 1 more reason that Luffy will need Zoro to finally defeat this monster, your panel above can't be more clear.
Even if Luffy will defeat Kaido, it will be a momentary defeat due to his recovery speed and toughness. Luffy factually won vs Kaido but the fact taht he can recover so fast, will require someone like Zoro to clearly close the game.

Zoro has been no more effective at closing the game than anyone else in this manga.
Both Apoo and Kaido have taken Zoro's attack and continued fighting.
