You didn't post anything about Vista you retarded sword licker
Get your brain check you post irrelevant shit.
Excuse as expected.
Don't say shit like Alber being swordsman then when frigging Manga says he isn't swordsman then bitchass.
Manga>databook.
Do you insist on being moronic, what is the point of saying all this. King is obviously a swordsman
in the manga.
Because it's still a hobby and interest for him, that's what you people have to understand, you don't have to dedicate your life to swordsmanship like a religion to be a swordsman, although you would be better as a swordsman for doing so.
King literally knows how to coat his blade in haki, this is the same training zoro went through over the timeskip.
I bet you'd also be shocked if Big mom was called a swordsman, because she literally is, she uses giant swordsmanship techniques, having a df doesn't exclude you from being a swordsman. Law called himself a swordsman, Fuji is a swordsman, Greenbull is a swordsman. Actually all of the Marines go through swordsmanship training, that's why Kizaru has a light sword technique, that is why there are 2 depictions of Akainu using a sword, both in his youth.
It's just a main tool in this world to use in combat, there are many swordsman in One Piece. Look at the panels of all the people cheering for flame emperor sabo, and reacting to vegapunks message, and the people on beehive island. Now some of them might just have it on for show, and just swing it around, but a lot of them probably know how to use a sword somewhat competently, that makes you a swordsman.
This is literally part of the reason Mihawk is well known, because if you use a sword in any capacity, you're going to end up hearing about a dude who is very good at it, and eventually being known for being the best at it. Whether it's people talking around a campfire like in that one light novel, or if it's marines talking amongst each other during their sword training.
And your point about GB, we know why the vivre card doesn't confirm he has a black blade, because the scene being used could be him temporarily making one with haki, which goes in line with him coating the tendrils he made with haki, but the vivre card doesn't show that part for whatever reason, design choice of the vivre card maybe.
