At first i thought you were talking about this bcs of the scene you quoted.
But if you are talking about this scene at the down.(the scene i talked. and told him to reread my comment.). You should really read my comment again.
I agree that King and Zoro's panels are parallel to each other. I talked about that before too.
But Zoro losing Enel doesnt mean he didnt keep promise. He didnt lost to any swordsman so his promise is still intact.
Defeat is a defeat. Getting defeated even after you are tired or distracted means you lost.
This time its not a cheap shot like you are talking about.
He literally coughed blood after taking damage from Marco. Even if you dont want to acknowledge.
We are not talking about King can damaged with his flames or not. We are talking about did he take damage or not and the Author shows us that he did. Dont make me post insert panel again.
Are you talking about this scene when you are talking about his foot isnt harmed?
If its so its because Zoro is blocking its supposed to be a suprised attack.
Look Zoro defeated King but if we follow your logic then it becomes that King didnt lost to Zoro. But Zoro lost to Enel how much you try to deny it with saying its gaunlet doesnt matter.
