I'm not getting my hopes up about them, but it would be very ironic if only Floch survived, even if he does so more understandably, but even he may be dead too. I kinda hope that Floch is gone now, but that was the least lethal shoot I've seen Gabi take. I thought at first she blew off his arm, but then I saw he still had both. So he got hit in the shoulder area, and that's not THAT dangerous a spot to get shot. Here is to hoping then.

Judging from the angle when Floch Forster, it looks like his arm got blown off. However, the distance wouldn't be able to prove if his arms did got blown away. We will learn more about Floch & his arm fate in future chapters, along with Shadis and Magath as well. Although the shot didn't directly amputate his arm, in case Floch survived and was rescued by some comrades (I do not believe that all the Yeagaristas in the port have died; in addition, it is very possible that there were reinforcements on the way, coming from other districts of the old walls, since they seem to now control all Paradis; after all, he managed to anticipate the Disney alliance, arriving earlier at the port), the treatment to save him could need the total amputation of his arm. And all this, without forgetting the scant possibility that he has managed to get into what the boat is towing.

PS: I have a theory as to why Zeke hasn't appeared yet. We still don't really know all that it takes for founder Ymir to side with Eren, but perhaps he (thinks that he) needs to be with Zeke indefinitely to continue to control the founding titan, so Zeke could be found imprisoned inside the giant titan founder of Eren, where Eren would mutilate him from time to time to prevent him from transforming into the beast titan.
