^Zoro is not a DF user, thus making it a bit more easy for him to take out Hody and the latter was still in his "normal" form by then which was most likely very weak compared to how strong the SHs are now. As for Luffy's wound by "post-transformation" Hody's bite, there is also the amount of pills the latter took before that to take into consideration.

I can understand why you are disappointed Pacifista15 but like NewWorldWarrior said, this is all most likely Oda's way of showing that Luffy isn't invincible and/or isn't just going to be the pirate king in the blink of an eye just cuz he had a 2 years training with "Dark King" Ray.

If there must be a disappointment about something then I would throw it on how Luffy still got tied up! (Forgot which chapter it was but its when Luffy, Chopper, Sanji, and Usopp are at the mermaid beach) Now thats annoying.
