Ain't the whole 'pure swordsman' 'true swordsman' bullshit made up so people can say shanks>mihawk?
lmao
its bs at this point. hyogoro as pure as you can get a swordsman, lived the "bushido code" as they call it can shoot out haki shockwaves with his fist. we saw the flashback where king was shown using the sword while queen used a club. the fact sanji clashes with him doesnt change whether he's a swordsman or not.
