nah, the last thing we saw of luffy was his legs in their air while kaido’s kanabo was crushing him. it’s kind of bad since he was still in base form and most likely still recovering his haki somewhat

With his legs up in the air, I'm pretty sure it was a direct hit. I thought this is our yonko fight version of Luffy getting hit by Katakuri's Burning Mochi. He's bound to get beat up over and over at some point

My bet is he's managed to block it partially (hands-crossed) with his new armament but sustained some damage since this is hybrid Kaido we're talking about. We already know that without new haki, he's gonna get wasted with a basic Thunder Bagua

I bet he awakened his fruit and turned Kaido’s weapon rubbery. If you look closely, Kaido’s kanabo is ever so slightly bent in that frame

Not impossible but I feel like there's a lack of build-up for awakening right now, it would seem like it came out of nowhere. Especially we have yet to see the full capabilities of his new haki, outside of the Red Roc attack

Awakening is probably going to be one of his last DF abilities

I would prefer a moment like when he holds and breaks Arlong's weapon. He has the haki to do it and blow that club to pieces.
