ACoC has 0 effects on King's flame mode and is irrelevant to defeating King. Aramaki has proven that.
King's flame mode wasnt rendered useless and his "basic form" is his strongest form.
In final attack, he used Offense mode which none of y'all can figure out bcs Loda didnt spell it out.
This is straight-up retarded, delete it.
Tldr, Zoro had to use adCoC to defeat a worn out King whose flame mode had been rendered so useless he was just in basic form

This version of King being a highly inferior version to Queen, even WW would have a solid upper hand against this version of King
