It's a meh to be honest but it's the best outcome for both sides. Oda put every restriction and plot device he can and chained it to Linlin's neck to make this "victory" believable. He tried his best to not muck up both sides but I think he ultimately failed Kidd fans unless he has something more planned for them in this arc. He has Law pulling out infinite last resorts yet, all Kidd does is gather up scrap.
I'm happy Linlin show cased her durability and tankiness and still needed plot bombs to "take her out" but, It came at the expense of Kidd and making him look subpar compared to law at each turn. I personally think that their attacks are ~ it's just that Oda puts in way more effort for Law's than he does for Kidd so it makes Kidd look awful.
I'm really sad for Kidd fans. They've gone years without getting anything and when it finally seems like they'll have their moment, Oda rug pulls them. He needs to show something in this very arc against someone like Kaido or maybe WG otherwise, he'll forever be "Midd" to most fans even if it's unfair.
