Its utter nonsense lol.
Red Hawk is the strongest gear 2nd attack. Its stronger than hakiless gear 3rd and it blasted through Perospero's actual named candy move.
Red Hawk only worked on Doffy because Law caught him offguard and switched him with Doffy, Law himself says such parlor tricks wont work on Doffy anymore. Meanwhile, Doffy laughs at Hawk Gattling, a multi hit gear 2nd move.
And lol at Amande having better cutting power than Doffy, he doesnt even need awakening to slice and dice Perospero's candies.
