When the raid started.
- "Zoro cannot fight Kaido because he is not the main character. "

Oda draws Zoro cutting Kaido and treats it as a casual event.
The people who despise Zoro and have agendas are in absolute shambles.
They scramble for an excuse to attribute Zoro's feats to something else, here comes "Oden's haki".
A direct contradiction of Hitetsu's explanation, but no worries. You will be proven wrong once again.
One side of the community has been consistently right about what Zoro will do during Wano while the other side has been consistently wrong. If you can't see this, then you are hopeless.
