By the way we can confirm that King coudnt hold Zoro exchange in his normal mode and had to enter in his hybrid form.
So Zoro is already better swordsman than King.
Chapter 1023:
So exactly 4 chapters after this King had to enter in Hybrid form and relay on different power to stop Zoro.
Not bad if we think how long it took for Kaido to use hybrid.
King was forced to use already his strongest form.
