Amazing stuff on the Zoro side. Not as outrageous as Zoro purposely stalling to extend his training (still cool either way) but he basically has his route to winning the fight already. A near-miss is what's keeping the fight going. Sommers better bust out everything to pose some trouble cause otherwise Zoro will capitalize on already having the means to take him out.
I've been rooting for an awakening since Zoro already handled the thorns normally but perhaps Oda just goes with the blade as the means of Sommers posing some problems. Zoro powering through Sommers' thorns then overpowering his blade sounds great.
Sanji landing that Ifrit Jambe was nice. Reminds me of him landing DJ hits on Queen, looked good but it's not nearly done. The giants getting involved with Zaza makes sense. Sanji won't harm her, Dorry and Broggy can at least stall her. Sanji getting CoC is getting awfully closer, hopefully next chapter is him. I'm excited on how his kicks will look with ACoC.
Both these fights could use some time. Zoro's could be done in a chapter but I hope it gets at least two, and Sanji's could be done in two but I hope it gets three (no need to rush). As much attention as possible, especially if 1200 is for Luffy to land something huge on Imu. Luffy isn't out of G5 just yet, hopefully he can stay in it rather than tired then getting food which would just stall things unnecessarily. Loki's hybrid should be great.
Advanced logia was sort of something many had pointed out when regen was introduced, it's like what logias were pre-timeskip but for this stage of the series. Seemingly unbeatable but there's clearly a weakness. Now we get Oda highlighting that similarity. Though the spoiler says the heart is like an advanced logia.
