To me, it looked like he simply blocked them before slicing the blades.
What's interesting is Oda's showing us new techniques in the new world. For example, the Happo navy's signature combat technique ( Hasshoken ), this kind of kenpo attack was able to damage and beat the fused Funk brothers, who wasn't affected by a haki infused axe attack. This technique is a must learn for Sanji.

So maybe the soldier will use this to his advantage and lead his army to the factory as he follows the curfew's rules. And if that is indeed the case, I wonder how many of Dofla's officers will be guarding the factory? I see no reason why it WOULDN'T be guarded since the warlord himself is already aware of the factory destruction plan. Perhaps this will be when Pica finally makes his appearance....?
If Picca's there and he's the one turning people into toys, then the invading army might lose. Usopp turns into Pinocchio and Franky turned into an action figure toy. Then we get to see what really happens to the toys at midnight.
