Luffy tanked the slash that Mihawk sent through a bunch of people’s legs to catch Luffy. Then when he was close to him, he swung his sword, Luffy dodged and Mihawk let the attack go as far as destroying the Ice mountain to scare Luffy.
There is no way the Mihawk who was telling Zoro Swordsmanship is about grace and shit like that, just ACCIDENTALLY tossed a mount cutting slash.
by this logic, that first slash that just barely passed passes under people’s legs to catch Luffy was also a mountain cutter? No. It wasn’t.
Mihawk was taunting Luffy from the start of the fight. He even knew what would happen if Luffy through his hands at him. So he taunted him with a mountain cutting slash. Then he tried it again but was interrupted by Daz bones.
when mihawk knows what he is attacking, all his power is deliberate. When he is interrupted by Daz or Jozu, is where you can see how deliberate his power is.
it’s easy, all we have to do is wait I guess. People with the so called “greatest defense” are getting fucked up this arc by way weaker swordsmen than mihawk. Unless you believe Jozu is above Kaido and big mom in durability, it’s only a matter of time.
