Sorry to burst some people's bubbles,but while the comments below the fanarts are written by Oda,he himself has commented through his interview with Horikoshi that he writes them as Ussop.
Meaning this is supposed to be comment done by Ussop and his world perspective.(His view quite likely being " Holds a sword= Swordsman" just like with Monet and Vergo. )
You can use that however you like,but it isn't really stating how Oda views his characters.
