Luffy finding Mr 3's clone is just as much CoO as the BoAT feat. (i.e. neither are, and took place before haki was properly fleshed out)
Dodging rocks and having swords spin around your arm is not on the same level as directly dodging a High high tier willfully trying to dismember him. You don't intimidate your opponent into having accurate future sight lol, maybe false visions. This was shown to us as readers and portrayed as his CoO being unlocked, with a call back coming with Koby unlocking his CoO very shortly after.

Who cares if Haki was not fleshed out, we don't know what was in Oda's mind back then but things get retconned. Observation Haki was going to be used an arc later but it was not called Haki at the time rather a mantra.
Also what Mihawk did to Luffy is literally same as what Zoro did to Monet. Stop wasting my time with that bullshit, Luffy was shitting his pants and was fearing for his life

If Mihawk wanted Luffy dead, Luffy would be dead, that was not the point of the scene. Point of the scene was to show that Mihawk can put fear of God in Luffy same way Zoro can put fear of God in Monet.
