You're missing the point though. It doesn't matter if she is skilled enough to dodge it now. It doesn't matter what we should expect based on what Oda wrote for her character. The girl we saw in the colosseum should have been stronger than the Rebecca we got.

Whatever special something is necessary to beat parasite, she should have had it.

That's what the character is missing and that's why she seems like such a crybaby. She's never been anything but a victim.

Also, Jozu was not controlled, he was caught up in Doffy's string and immobilized. If that actually was parasite, then we have definite proof that it can be resisted.
