Most likely not.

Oda never kills so clearly a character.
It was strange Oda made Kaido use King's sword. But that could be because with his club the death wouldn't have seem so definitive, with a sword instead and his head sliced it is (at first glance at least) definitive.
King had a myth df also based on a japanese myth, I don't think Oda will be done with it just with a few rage moments vs Hyori, we didn't see it in action at all.
Orochi as well was the scabbards target and it is strange it is done this way.

So why Oda made his death so clear? He has the orochi df, litterally, so that is some kind of hydra from japanese folklore if I'm not mistaken aka cut one of his heads amounts to nothing. And this added to the other reasons suggests we have not seen the last of Orochi.

Yet on the other hand now he is alone: he never really had any storng subordinate, Denjiro was never under him and Kamazou was a gift from Kaido and anyway these 2 could never really compete with Kaido and his underlings. Now anyway he lost them both and is about to lose also his army of fodder one way or another, he maybe can still keep the ninjas but those don't amount to much. So even if he survives he will have to go solo and even if he has a myth df he still isn't a great fighter so... if he is actually still alive he will have a particular role for sure. I can't see him ally nor with Kaido again (of course) nor with Luffy (of course), he is too weak to go solo so maybe some background activitis.. let's see what Oda is planning.

He's not dead

For the people who say he has no role to play, I disagree

The whole idea of "Hating on Korozumi child" should actually come into play at some point... I'm not asking for orochi to be forgiven, I'm asking for the IDEALS itself to be addressed, which is what lead to both of "Orochi/Kanjuro" to be messed up in the head

Oda just killing both of them, without eventually addressing the issue is a completely bad way to resolve that story...

They can punish orochi/execute him later, HOWEVER, the issue of Wano people, just attacking innocent children, persecuting them just for their lineage is SO IMPORTANT to be addressed and for Wano civilians to realize that their deeds were fucking atrocious...

Oda killing that bloodline, and just ignoring it will be completely FUCKED UP storywise, from oda's point of view... cause he basically will be GOING AGAINST everything he stood for during:

- Ace hunted for his bloodline
- Robin hunted for her Bloodline
- Rebecca and her bloodline

and so on from examples where Oda's ideals stand for "everyone is their own self, and you canot judge someone from their blood parents/ancestor"

Eliminating the ONLY 2 Korozomi like that is Oda escaping from trying to resolve that issue, and it's him not trying to put ANY FAULT on what the civilians did in Orochi/Kanjuro childhood
