Stronger CoA raises all status in all forms including base Luffy. He lost to 1 hit from Kaido, whether the CoA difference was that huge or there is 'something' about that club or simply the shear physical power difference is that huge. Regardless a stronger CoA will help minimize the damage even if by a little bit.

He mentioned Rayleigh deflected the attack without having physical contact. If he becomes able to replicate that, then rather than minimize the damage he should be able to nullify it completely.
He started the arc being OHKO by Kaido, so even if he gets considerably stronger he shouldn't be able to take more than 3 or 4 hits by the end of the arc. This means the most vital part of the fight will probably be able to reliably avoid Kaido hits and take as few as possible (unlike the fight against Katakuri, when he could afford taking hits for hours), so this CoA "barrier" and CoO "future vision" should both be key factors in the fight.

Haki projection, almost like limited telekinesis. That'll be awesome to behold. But a strong enough armament hardening on your skin should also be able to nullify damage so projecting it out wouldn't necessarily be the only way to do it (besides, if you're that much of a master to project a barrier outward, you'd assume it would be strong enough in both cases anyway). Although that does make me wonder about the strength of Bartolomeo's barriers and if he ever needs to Haki fortify them since they can mimic that type of protective Haki projection.
Even though Big Mom showed up and is now probably the most likely thing that will contribute to Kaido's defeat, I'm still holding out hope that Luffy will be able to become shadow empowered by Moria and become Uber Nightmare Luffy.

In your opinion, was the original ryuma better than him at TB ? I think that should be the case.Have read the short manga btw, and i honestly cant judge based on that.Its obvious that he did slay the dragon easily, in that manga.Now that the mountain bandit giant (forget his name) mentioned ryuma also confront and defeat pirates and even, nobels, on his own implies he was once a truly magnificent man.
Yes, he should be better than the zombie. The zombie just used Brook's techniques with increased physical power.

How deteriorated was Ryuuma? I couldn't tell if he was a preserved corpse or just a skeleton with barely any skin left on him. If he didn't have his muscles left then he probably wasn't as strong as he was in life even if his bones were very powerful.
Also, is the reason Gyukimaru being a dick and not fighting with honor or integrity because he thinks Zoro is a thief and doesn't deserve a fair fight or what?

Well, he's at least been dead for 100 years. And he had no eyes and lips, but still some hair.
And as for Gyukimaru….probably, but it is kind of refreshing to have a realist fighter.

Eh, I can't respect a fighter like that. I'm willing to let it slide when someone like Franky pulls a 'Hey, who's that standin' behind ya, bro?' on an opponent like he did with Nero but this is beyond the pale, even for someone who allegedly has no honor. Don't sink to their level and lose one's own honor, and all that.

He has been taking the fight seriously, it's Zoro's fault for getting distracted. I'm not saying Zoro's reasons aren't good enough or that he shouldn't. For all we know this is a fight to the death and protection of the national treasure for Gyukimaru. One moment of distraction could mean death. At least he shouts whenever he strikes.

Well he's a highway robber so you're doing it right.
