As much as I want him to kick it in general, and especially after a panel like that, Oda will find a way to pull him back from oblivion. How it happens remains to be seen; falling back on the DF is the obvious choice, but he wasn’t even in hybrid form this chapter, so I don’t know how one could justify using that as an excuse for him surviving. Unless he’s like a Logia and his powers are always passively active without being visible, it just doesn’t work with that logic, but stranger things have certainly happened in this series.
