They had a pernicious "victory" Oda isn't stupid. He loves Luffy too much to allow people like Kidd and Law to have a legitimate win against someone he's proclaimed he'd beat over and over. Like I was saying, everyone who was on the "She's defeated" train was doing so in hopes they won't have to see her again.
Oda fully well understands how any rational fan would take this "victory". He showed his hand multiple times by only showing the effects of Kidd and Law's attacks and never hers. Every time she had them down, it was always off-screened. She showed no Awakening, no Adv COC, no ultimate technique, etc.
To anyone who wasn't blinded by dislike of her character and agendas, it was clear she wasn't going to be given a legitimate defeat.
