Questions & Mysteries Why was King not considered a swordsman?

King, imo, is New World's Daz Bones.
That is basically what King said as well.
"I never understood why anyone would stick to traditional styles or forms in real battle."
He uses swordmanship but he has lots of other techniques that he can use to dismantle Zoro with so he's not sticking to just one thing. Ironically, Daz & King were also not damageable by Zoro for a long while but after the Power Up, it was over in seconds.

Going by Daz and King's logic, no Big Mom and Law aren't nor were they ever referred to as swordsmen in any volumes or chapters.
But then there's Fujitora, who is considered one despite focusing everything on his gravity ability, not a single slash in sight. So I think it's more of a lifestyle/mentality/vibe deal. Way of the blade, swordsman code yada yada

There is no set of rules. Zoro said, "I wont lose to anyone who calls himself a swordsman"
- meaning if someone doesn't claim to be a swordsman, then he is not a swordsman according to Zoro. Thats why Zoro told King, "I guess you have a point. You never claimed to be a swordsman"
So its upto Oda, he can classify anybody as a swordsman or a non-swordsman with a single panel anytime he wants.

Law if I remember well gives a lesson to Tashigi when it how a swordman should be.
If he isn't one then this would be dumb.
If there was a far better way to mix his fighting style with the DF then he would have no picked a sword ... cursed one even , that as we learned in Wano only strong swordmans can tame.
BM do fits with Daz tho.

He adapts himself to his opponent. That's why zoro called him a killer machine/assassin.
He can burn, kick, punch, break his opponents weapons too + using his DF for speed, strenght. Also a lunarian so not worried to be cut so no need to specialise in one particular field.
Have you ever saw law using others things than his sword in battle ? Teleportation with his fingers is not a fighting style.
Law literally walk h24 with his sword lol

From what was said, because he didn’t have a set school or style of fighting, plus his sword could transform. His named attacks didn’t really have anything to do with his sword, maybe that affected things.
Kaku used Yontoryuu, so even though that had non-swordsman attacks the style/school was enough.
Cabaji had his Acrobatics move which apparently counted. And no, I don’t think that’s consistent, but chances are Oda doesn’t even remember the Cabaji fight, so eh.
Fujitora’s fighting style is called Grav-blade so it should count.
Law actually talks about swordsman spirit, has a cursed blade which we found out this arc needs to be mastered by a swordsman to be used and would be next to useless in a fight without it, so he should count as well.
Big Mom knows how to use a sword, that’s for certain, but I think she would fall under the King category since she also uses her homies and punches too much.
But like I said, it’s not consistent. Zoro’s done things that shouldn’t count as swordsmanship. He also said in the chapter that was brought up that if he would do anything he could to win the fight as well. So is he disqualified then as well?
