Actually, what james0246 is correct. He did have a flashback to his teacher explaining how you when you are able to cut steel you are also able to cut nothing, and then in present he slashed against a leaf but didn't cut it and then slashed against a big rock slicing it in half. It was after that he attacked and managed to cut Mr. 1.
I just re-watched the episode and no he didnt cut a leaf. There are no leaves in Alabasta there. BTW Zoro could already cut through stone and he just realized how to cut through steel.
