Well, you have a point. However, Dimaria saying something about "a split second from your perspective", can most likely be taken as some sort of magic... its likely she literally means it (The scene seemed some-what emphasized, probably a reveal of magic related to that), plus she's slashing people without them noticing/ even seeing her move... that's different from Kagura who's just fast. Just her "expert swordplay" probably can't do that. Unlike One piece where even without a Devil fruit, people are as strong, in FT there really hasn't been anyone (so far) who are as strong as magic users (The treasure hunters were pretty much a joke; beaten with little effort). So logical guesses would be time/ slowing magic, I don't blame anyone for thinking otherwise. Personally, I hope there's something more towards this power she speaks of though, not just some interesting magic; but even more. Besides that, I do think she probably wields skilled swordsmanship along with whatever magic she uses. Not to demean Mashima, but his foreshadowing in magic usually turns out to what a lot of people expect ._., if Dimaria uses something completely different, he will regain my faith in that category :P.
