As I said, you are always too fast with laying a judgement... Same as before King hype when you trashed him vs Marco...
King was amazing, ridiculously good performance, that's simply what kind of beast you need to be to keep up with Zoro.
His own captain, the world's strongest, failed to look anywhere close to as good against Zoro without aCoC...

Exactly, King was amazing and it started great until Oda decided to put everything important about him in a single chapter and ending it like that. You may be satisfied with it but I'm not.
Again, it's about the rushed part, everything before that was 10/10 easily.
Stop wanking the aCoC train and you wont be disappointed, you dont need CoC to be a good fighter. Even if he had it, it wouldnt stop Zoro from defeating him fast because Zoro is following into Ryuma's footsteps - defeating any foe with a single slash. If King managed to tank even 1 aCoC attack, that's more than you will see from anyone else, including Kaido.
Zoro usually finishes his battles with one slash, that's not my issue. In fact, Zoro's attack really seems really hyped. Yet again, everything else was rushed which got to this point.
Assuming that Zoro was going to defeat King like that, the impact would be better if Zoro already faced someone with COC too - in his strongest mode, even stronger than the stuff which was shown prior to this chapter. Do you really believe it wouldn't make a single difference how people would view this moment?
Why making another Mr. 1 moment if it could have been even better? Unlike Daz Bones, King had the potential to make it possible...
His lore relevance remains and will be expanded further, that cannot be taken away and instead will only become more relevant. Awakening is something that doesnt play much of a role, I said it back on Doffy, I said it back on Katakuri and it is the same on King... How do you even know if he isnt Awakened? How do you know that Awakening may still not play a role? Dont judge too fast...
Awakening still playing a role? Perhaps with Kaido but how it is guaranteed King will use it next? The spoilers highly imply that he's defeated - and from the looks of the latest spoilers, I doubt King gets up again. If you're talking about the lame abilities from the jailer beasts, then yes, King could already be awakened but come on, no highlight and no decent portrayal of such an ability - are you really fine with it?
You want destructive fire attacks from King? The casual demolishing of Onigashima with slingshot wasnt enough? Dude was effortlessly mincing Pica-sized mountains with basically no drawback and you want more... His slap of hybrid wing is basically KKG without drawback which he can use over and over again...
I expected attacks which rather fit his epithet "wildfire" tbh.
The flashback shows exactly what we needed, how he and Kaido met and shows equal portrayal, both were experimented on by WG and both escaped to form Beast Pirates and on top of that, their toughness is highest in the world... Having CoC or not having it is not a deal breaker for me since I am not obsessed with it. King's cold reaction to aCoC is the best thing about it - giving no fucks about it.
King's cold reaction was rather a hint how he is a conqueror too, now that he does not have it makes his reactions less justifiable tho. And it would have been a fresh start if Zoro already fought a conqueror by activating his superior version too.
I already told you his toughness is the real deal even when switched to speed mode. Idk why you even complain about his fire ability when it makes even Kaido's durability look bad in comparison, lol. They are not skilled fire users in terms of comparing them to fire logia users, lol. It's their racial ability giving them tougness to the point that they have been considered gods, not even Zoro's ShiShi Sonson left a scratch for god's sake and y'all are complaining...
About the complaining part, again, it's the fact how everything around King got handled in a single chapter. That's the main issue.
Wildfire played more of a role in King's fight than Drought and Plague in Jack's and Queen's fight.
King was a fantastic character, Zoro is simply that dangerous. You will understand when he one-shots Kaido next.

Again, King is a fantastic character but a lot of potential got just wasted in this chapter to which you respond "Well, I don't care for any of that either". The thing is, you may not care about it but a lot of users do care about. And Zoro could have been shown even more dangerous if he one shots Kaido's awakened RHM and also being a conqueror.
