It's seems like I have to make separate threads about Advanced Armament Haki and the difference between brawler's and swordsman's CoA.
So basically, at the beginning of timeskip, Zoro have normal Armament and it could possibly be better than Luffy's in Fishman Island. And then when Zoro's trying to tame Enma, it sucks his haki off but he's immediately restrained it. He say that he'll get even stronger because his haki will get improved if he manage to control Enma. During the beginning of the raid, Zoro's slashing some fodders with Enma which indicates that he got used to it and now against Kaido, he couldn't cut Kaido because he wasn't releasing enough haki. And you clearly need Advanced Armament in order to hurt Kaido according to Hyogoro. So my guess is that Zoro learned Barrier Haki (which is why I wanted to make a thread about brawler's and swordsman's CoA) after he finished his training with Enma but he is not yet to learned Penetration Haki which is similar to like Observation Haki with sensing presence and predicting movement. Barrier Haki is for swordsman like the Scabbards and Zoro while Penetration Haki is for brawlers like Luffy and Hyogoro.

Where's the panel?
A panel of any of Zoro's swords coated in Koka during the attack on Kaido.
You can use Ryuo without Koka. When we see Zoro using Ryuo though, it's normally with Koka and his haki leaks.
@Fn Lucci applications of Barrier COA for weapon users:
It seems weapon users can release their haki in ranged attacks.
@playa4321, @Geo: the dent on Kaido's neck was from Killer's attack. Killer probably didn't use Ryuo this chapter. Zoro might not have used ryuo, but the apparent specks of blood are from Zoro's attack (that struck Kaido's body). Whether it's blood or not wouldn't be clear until the coloured translation, but at any rate, Zoro didn't use Koka, so if he used ryuo at all it's much weaker than what he's capable of.
The Viz should clarify if Kaido is complimenting Zoro and Killer for doing some slight damage to him.
On thread: Zoro doesn't have internal destruction haki. He's able to use flow and project his haki to perform ranged attacks.

- Zoro was able to cut Monet with a flying slash.
- Roger struck Oden with a haki flying slash.
- Yamato took out the Number with a haki beam.

Zoro was capable of flying slashes back in Skypiea, he doesn't need advanced Haki to do it. We've seen his flying slashes improve without learning new Haki and his cutting arc can topple a creature the size of a city. Learning it isn't useless but just besides the point. Enemies who aren't really engaged can get ranged attacks but do you think he wants to sit back and mash hadoukens?
Roger and Whitebeard clashed with advanced Haki but we've seen sky splitting duels where the blades touched, so it's not necessary.

Ok, so lets play spot the difference. I've put the panel of Zoro holding Enma right before he attacks Kaido, together with the panel of Zoro holding Enma right after. Tell me what you see pertaining to the sharpness edge of the blade.

also the scabbards even tough they damaged kaido yet their blades weren t black now when they try to use oden s tehnique they use koka :zorothink:
There's no such statement in the current chapter and so such an assumption (Zoro using Ryou/Killer using Ryou) does not have basis
