Just the act: slaying a dragon. Whether or not Kaido is beheaded, as long as Zoro is the one to ZKK, makes no difference.
Also, pretty sure putting Merry down still counted as a mercy kill, at least technically.
Mercy kill and actual kill are two different things, tho. After all, the SHs technically already mercy killed Merry, before.
And ZKK can still happen even without a decapitation, anyway, provided Zoro kill Kaido. Its taking place with Zoro landing a hit on Berserk Kaido that makes him go back...
Since the "Zoan DF having its own will" is true, isn't there a possibility of the Uo Uo no Mi going berserk and awakening once Kaido is beaten and (directly or otherwise) admitting that he isn't Joyboy after all? Zoan awakening back in Impel Down seemed to erase any semblance of intelligence and...
This is the correct POV, imo.
Just because Luffy kept getting back up against Kaido does not nullify the fact that Kaido won 4 times against Luffy.
Similarly, Kaido getting back up for ZKK after Luffy beat him does not mean Luffy's W is cancelled.
