Yeah, his fire was off AFTER Zoro cut him. You see the flames when Zoro actually hits through his sword, wing, FIRE attack, and chest. The attack was literally fire.

I think you're misremembering because of the page you posted. I went back and reread the King fight multiple times and determined he was using fire because he started having to block, was using fire right before the dragon attack, and the dragon attack itself is fire.
