Let's be real, though: even if the intent wasn't there, it's often that the suggestion, the mere intimation of possible sexual ravishing ( be it rape or sexual harassment ) at the hands of characters like the newkamas is typically baked into sequences like these to fuel the humor, however light-hearted it's meant to come across. It's basically become a long-entrenched trope in anime/manga by this point.
Obviously, it almost never ( almost….any Karate Shoukoushi KOhinata Minoru readers in the house? ) goes down, likely never to happen, and said characters may otherwise be depicted positively to varying degrees, but the fact remains that the element of possible sexual assault typically serves as the basis for many a gag, however much it's played for laughs, highly unlikely to ever be followed upon, or boils down to gross misunderstanding on the "victim's" part.
I mean, any One-Punch readers here? You know what I'm talking about.

@electricmastro:
It seems that nothing has changed with King between him being 27 years old and 47 years old, except that his clothing style was slightly different.

Possibly a slight change from the manga though, as the arm holding the sword that stabbed Ashura – presumably belonging to that of King, as implied -- seemed to be uncovered and bare-skinned, with the exception of a glove.
Maybe it's me reading too much into things, but it's just one reason why I ( like some others ) wonder if King may actually turn out to be a woman...albeit a very masculine one, possibly even one who identifies as a man; and a more glaringly blatant reverse-take on Kiku's gender identity, as say opposed to Yamato ( for the moment, maybe ). For better for worse.
Wouldn't be the first or the last, for anyone worried about this prospect, ie villains being the sole representatives; I firmly believe Oda isn't done tackling the topic of gender...again, for better or worse, depending on one's personal views. Be prepared for the possible reveal of characters who possess the hearts of both a "maiden" and a "prince/knight" or what have you.
We still haven't learned what Crocodile's secret is, after all. And I've a sneaking suspicion Oda's took inspiration from another major iconic gender-bending character to craft this ( admittedly, yet unrevealed ) facet to Sir C's history and character.
Anyways, brace yourselves, this discussion likely isn't going to die down any time soon…if at all.
Edit:
Btw, just to clarify with respect to the King bit, I understand it may seem like an illogical leap to somehow connect bare skin with King being a woman. For it's worth, it's just speculation built on some calculated, and in this case subjective, hunches. Straight up, the arm in question just gives this "effeminate" vibe to me, going off Oda's usual art style. What's more, I feel it was intended to look as much as red herring of sorts, to lead us to suspect the similarly gloved, bare-armed Shinobu present on scene of being the BIG TRAITOR -- a major lingering mystery at the time, with Shinobu far from being the only character Oda was slyly attempting to cast doubt upon imo.
Anyway, blah blah, long story short, just think there's a chance some small bit of misdirection may have been intended to sneakily foreshadow a major future reveal, hence the curious ( if seemingly very minor ) discrepancy here between the anime and manga depictions of in the respective sequences here.
Also a bit suspect how so many instances of characters being silhouetted in the manga are translating to full-blown, unobstructed reveals in the anime too. Again, could be nothing...but maybe, just maybe, Oda passed along some minor "suggestions" to hide some things.
