Since Lucci is an awakened zoan with supposedly better endurance, he might get up in the next chapter, but way weaker. I'm betting that Jinbe will take care of Lucci while Zoro does something more interesting.
What that is specifically, we'll have to wait and see. Maybe Mars will penetrate the shield, but Zoro manages to protect the Sunny. Maybe through some series of events, he'll encounter V. Nusjuro and get some Wado lore dropped on him.
My theory is that Jinbe's opponents are all gonna be cats (already fought Who's-Who's, might go on to fight Pizarro)

This chapter is almost 5/5, but suffers because Yamato is getting a cover story and not someone more interesting. SAD!
