(Edited the title from "Adv CoA" to Ryou/Internal Destruction, since that's really what I meant, and I'm shit at making accurate titles. Change votes accordingly. Zoro clearly has Adv CoA from his Emission of Haki sword slashes, I just don't think he has Ryou. Apologies for the shitty title then title edit)
Notice the explosions? This is consistent with Internal Destruction: Sanji isn't just hitting Queen with CoA, he's causing it to detonate inside of him, IE, Ryou. That's not some fire, that's a fucking explosion.
This makes me more comfortable with what Oda did in Wano.
Zoro learned to use Adv CoC, and cut through King's searing flames to defeat him.
Sanji learned Ryou/Adv CoA by controlling his passion. After going through his identity crisis, he rejected the idea that he needed to close off his emotions, and chose to accept them, even if he was a soldier of science. Accepting his horrible past, allowed him to finally control his emotions, his Will, his Haki, and let his feelings flow.
This works perfectly for both characters:
Zoro wants to dominate, and be the strongest swordsmen in the world = the Will of a Conqueror.
Sanji wants to fill people with passion, so he unlocked Ryou, which fills your enemy with your Will/Haki to defeat them.
So, I expect Sanji to unlocked CoC once he gets over his women issues, and Zoro to unlocked Ryou/Adv CoA when he becomes more honest with his feelings, and learns of his backstory.
This means Zoro was scarring Kaido, slicing a horn off of Onigashima, and taking down King, without Ryou, too.
My man is almost as powerful as Luffy, without Ryou. Once he learns it? Hoooooooooooo boy.
(If anyone has any proof that Zoro learned Ryou, please, show me it. For a long time I assumed me did, but can't think of any off the top of my head. I've yet to see Zoro flow his Haki into people with his blades.)
This ties back to Zoro "not cutting anything."
End of Series Zoro will be able to smack you in the stomach with the blunt side of his blade, and rupture your organs just with his Ryou.
I assume Zoro will learn Ryou once he returns to Wano to kill Kaido, when the Borders of Wano are opened and Pluton is activated.
This also fits the "Wings" aspect perfectly. Zoro and Sanji need to learn from each other, and master each other's strengths, in order to balance Luffy properly. Expect both Zoro and Sanji to get another huge power up soon, that puts them closer to Admiral level. That was the narrative point of Aramaki wrecking King and Queen: to show that Zoro and Sanji still need to get much stronger.
