The needle wasn't as miraculous as to actually change trajectory or direction midway, but it definitely wasn't simple either.
'Claaaannnnnnkkkkkkkkkk~!'
The moment that Pirate Leader Hibana thought that he had more than enough time to dodge the 'Maelstrom Needle' he heard the sound of the said needle on his armour.
That wasn't the end of it though, as the moment the needle hit the armour it immediately started to corrode his armour and pierce through.
This was totally unexpected, scaring the shit out of Pirate Leader Hibana who never thought that something like this would happen.
Not only did it feel like the needle had jumped across time and space, but it was also destroying his defences with an easiness of just going through cotton.
If it continued like that, he wouldn't have it long before he actually lost life and everything, he held dear.
