Likely, yes. It probably aligns with the lanterns going into the air. I do find it odd in some ways though if thats the case:
- No "Vs" chapter like Sanji, Zoro, and Kid/Law got
- No "Acala" move (assuming it's just the same clash from last chapter)
- He loses in Full Zoan (i.e. no big Kanabo clash with Luffy; again assuming it's the same clash)
Of course these aren't "rules" Oda needs to follow, totally understand that.
