Talk:Why cant Zoro cut an opponents swords?/@comment-3387274-20170804072606

Haki, is my guess and other things. (pottential spoilers follow)

on Punk Hazard he wasn't using haki,  or for that matter fighitng seriously at all. On Dressrosa he was fighting a guy who could at least come close to keeping up, and had several options for blocking Zoro's strikes

On Fishman island though.. Hyouzu was a foe he fought seriously against who was nowhere near that level. The opening move of the fight, Zoro blocked all eight of his swords... and all eight of them broke. Throughouth the fight Hyouzu was losing swords and having to pull out more, until at the very end Zoro simply turned his back on the guy while he wondered where all his weapons went (he did find a few more for his last attack, somehow, but point stands)

So, with that in mind, I think Zoro can cut an opponent's swords, so long as there's a big enough strength gap.
