In general, in the world of One Piece the use of Flying Slash Attacks is the sign of a great swordsmen. Characters like Mihawk, Zoro, and T-Bone have used some pretty skillfull Flying Slash Attacks; T-Bone's attacks even zig-zag, that's pretty cool. Brook and Ryuma use fencing techniques which I think is pretty cool of Oda to throw in, especially since their techniques are actual fencing moves.

In Zoro's case, there's no way you can say he doens't use skills. He uses actual samurai arts like Iai, on the regular. Also his repurposing of techniques is pretty impressive as well. Check out his use of Toro Nagashi against Hachi and then later against Kuma if you want to see skillfull use of his techniques.

What exactly do you want to see from Oda in terms of his swordsmen?
