Is Zoro kicking Delinger with his swords? Rhetorical question btw. You concluded that Ray utilizes martial arts based on him stopping an attack not meant for him with his foot, but Zoro stopping Delinger from kicking Luffy with his foot is not that.
Ray comes in and stops Kizaru with a kick
The clash is about to begin and then this happens. Ray uses his sword
And they still continue fighting with swords
Ray kicked him once and that was enough for you to label him a martial artist, but Zoro who has fought in multiple instances without his swords, and actually used a kick similarly to Ray, is not a martial artist.
I am ignoring the context, but you are calling Ray a martial artist based on one kick and then him continuing to duel Kizaru using his sword. But I am ignoring the context.
Miss Monday attacked Zoro, hit him, he got up and did what he did
This is not a real fight for you, but Ray kicking Kizaru in one panel is enough of a fight for you to conclude that Ray is a martial artist? How so?
You are comparing their strengths, not what they did. Ray stopped an attack not meant for him, but rather for a dying Zoro with a kick, and when things got serious and he had to engage Kizaru in a fight he used his sword. Ray kicking Kizaru's attack is not a fight. When the fight started Ray used his sword.
The points you gave are contradicted by the manga and a bit hypocritical. One panel of Ray kicking an attack not meant for him was enough for you to conclude that he is a martial artist, even though he later used his sword, but when Zoro does the same and more, it is somehow different.
Sure, just don't go around claiming unsubstantiated and absurd things and we won't have a problem.
