You’re so right bro. The reason Imu’s head was turned and he wasn’t even looking at Zolo is that Imu was so scared that he couldn’t make eye contact with Zolo, literally Zolo aura diffed Imu and scared him so badly that Imu couldn’t even use his blade and was forced to use his tail out of sheer desperation since his body was paralyzed
The reason Imu used giant AdCoC nukes for Hajrudin and Sanji but only a puny bullet for Zolo is because Zolo’s WiFi Haki nerfed Imu’s attack to the point of making it look like Imu views Zolo as a fodder. Imu actually tried to use an island sized AdCoC nuke on Zolo but Imu was so terrified of Zolo’s killer aura that his attack was nerfed
Zolo actually could have blocked the attack but then, out of a moment that can only be described as pure heroism, allowed the attack to strike him in the fucking head because he knew that attack would destroy Elbaph if he didn’t do that
