In other words, there is no reason to assume that Zoro is unique (especially considering that Luffy's Haki is shared by at least one other if not more than that) inregards to the "breath" he heard, rather the event was treated as a natural evolution for Zoro as a swordsman.
Consequently, since Zoro is following a path that leads to Mihawk, it stands to reason that Mihawk, when he was first climbing up to the top, would have had a similar path to Zoro's. So, it seems reasonable to assume that Mihawk can also hear the "breath", and if so, that could be the necessary ability needed to cut an element (and yes, cut implies an act of violence (otherwise, why would it even be mentioned), not the simple separation that Tenryuken has alluded to in the past), something we know Mihawk has mastered.

This is though, there's a difference between the "breath" that zoro used and "haki"
Haki has been shown to negate devil fruit effects... against logia's it keeps them solid enough that you can strike them; against a rubberman like Luffy, they make it so blunt attacks can hurt him, when they should bounce off...
When Zoro used "beath" against das bones he did NOT negate bone's devil fruit. When zoro cut through him das bones was still 100% a blade man. What the breath allowed zoro to do was not negate devil fruits as haki does, but give him the power to slice through steal...
