Well if you don't accept my explanation that Oda cornered himself with and it's not optimal to draw..
To be more Dramatic.. And give it his all..

I’m all for calling out Oda’s fuck ups… in fact I might be one of the people who constantly points out bad writing the most in this entire story over and over again… and yes this entire discussion about how Oda visually depicts haki is one of the many things Oda has written very poorly
But you see the problem here is that YOU are imagining there are hidden rules in Osaka bad writing that only YOU can see… For example there is no stated rule about AdvCoC not touching but YOU are very sure it’s been stated by Oda in stone somewhere and everyone else who has read the e same manga simply does not have access to these stones where the Ten Commandments of haki were written in lighting by Oda himself
For example I have one very clear debunk of your entire “no touch” shit that’s stated in the manga directly…. when Luffy is using his final attack and Kaido says he will burn through Luffy’s giant fist, Luffy himself says he won’t get burnt because his fist will NOT make contact with Kaido’s flames
This your slam dunk right? Luffy has acknowledged that he is immune to direct fire damage by virtue of No contact haki… But then what does Luffy remember is the reason he has no contact haki? He remembers ADVANCED ARMAMENT… We literally see a flashback mid final punch explaining where Luffy’s ability to NO CONTACT comes from… The one and only explanation in the manga for the source of No contact haki is… ADVANCED ARMAMENT… Not Advanced Conquerors
This is Manga fact… It’s not YOUR hidden secret commandments of haki from Oda that only you can tell us
Oda is a bad writer and has written this power system exceptionally badly… But in this one moment at the end of the fight. Oda gives a clear and concise explanation for where “No Contact” attacks come from… It’s simply Advanced Armament
But YOU don’t care… because YOU have access to the secret Commandments
… Also the panel of King and Zoro Shows Zoro behind King in mid air… So yes, he passed by king, cut him, and ended up behind him, like almost all of Zoro’s attacks in the series
