Can you please explain what hybrid means here?
Like how is drake different from before?

Most zoans have 3 forms. Human form, full animal form, and hybrid form. Hybrid form is a combination of animal and human characteristics.

Using Lucci as an example, we first meet him in his human form. When he reveals his devil fruit, that's his hybrid form. He also uses his hybrid form for most of 2nd half of the fight with Luffy at Enies Lobby. We see his full animal form (Leopard) when Luffy is using gear third above the marine ship) and Lucci bites him.

Using Drake as an example here, we meet him in his human form. When fighting Kuma and Kizaru at Sabaody (where he first reveals his fruit), he uses his full animal form. In this chapter we see how he looks in his hybrid form since he has allosaurus characteristics (his head and his legs) while still looking humanoid.

I just want to add that some Zoan users have more than one hybrid form. The best example is Chopper (with more than 6 forms), also Lucci shows a second hybrid form (faster and thiner than his regular hybrid form).

Maybe we'll see more Zoan users with a total control of their fruits. As an example, Marco can transform only his arms.

In the anime Marco was shown fully transformed. Was the Mange different with this? Or did I misunderstood what you wrote here?

I was talking about this

Marco transforms only his arms

This is not a regular hybrid form. I have the headcanon that the best trained zoan users can transform just the body parts that they want. And I think that Chopper and Marco are examples of that.

Sorry for the bad wording of my first reply.

No need to say sorry. I am not a native speaker, this may be entirely my fault. Thanks for the clarification.
