Well, that wasn't nice. Still, I think you're right when you say it could be due to Oda's health. I honestly think he's been holding back on some content in the manga so the anime can add it and lengthen the distance between the manga and anime. For example, Oda only had one panel in the manga where Chopper was healing Zunisha's leg while the anime made a whole episode out of it.
