Powers & Abilities So Zoro and Roger can send air bar out

There's no such thing as a pure swordsman in One Piece. That is a term some fan like to use so they can say certain characters aren't weaker then Mihawk. Pushing the idea his title only applies to pure swordsman.

Zora was one of talked about winning by ripping Kings throat off. I believe the purpose of that scene was to explain to us being a swordsman doesn't mean you can't perform non-sword attacks.

We have seen Zoro defeat multiple characters with a punch, kick, and other non-sword weapons. Based off your post Zoro it's not a pure swordsman. Even Mihawk carries around a mini knife he used at times.

Either you are a swordsman or not. A swordsman is a character who's fighting style centers around using a sword or they're at the strongest while using a sword. King is that his strongest when he's using a sword.

There are, that's why Mihawk finished Zoro with Yoru and not his little knife..

Did Zoro rip King's throat off, kicked or punched him?.. No.. And it's within the limits of a Sword Duel aiming for the World Strongest Swordsman.. Zoro vs King wasn't that type of fight..

Within what context have we seen Zoro kick, punch or whatever.. Against '' Dirty Swordsmen '' or without the boundaries of a Sword Duel..

What's the opposite of Dirty Swordsmen, Pure Swordsmen..

Just because you hold a Sword doesn't make you a Swordsman, otherwise I guess that makes Luffy a Swordsman too since Wano.

By your logic (evading nuance), I guess Luffy is a Swordsman as well.

Can't really compare DF users and Swordsmen. One changes your body biologically, and the other is a decision/lifestyle you make, perhaps even an identity/profession. That's nuance.
Would be like calling anyone who cooked a chef... there's more nuance to it. Not everyone who kicks a ball is a footballer/soccer player.
I hope you'll come to understand the importance of nuance.

Fact is King isn't a Swordsman, unless we're saying Zoro is lying about what defines Swordsmen.

Then why King says this
