Zoro said King wasn’t a swordsman long before King pulled out any of that shit. All it took was King using a swordcatcher and throwing a punch
So fucking what?
Roger named his own son after his sword and you are online talking about him not being a "pure swordsman" in 2025 for goodness sake. Do you know how cringe this shit looks? Roger had a gun. Not some wand. Nothing to even HINT at swordsmanship not being his true fighting style.
He had a fucking GUN. He hasn't even USED mind you but just held it in one panel. For all you know it was gifted to him by his dad and does not even work.
If Roger punched Whitebeard during their clash or used his gun? I might be willing to give some of you clowns the idea that Roger does not count as a swordsman. But he used Ace, the supreme grade blade he named his son after. So stop the cope!
