My fully armed Kensai is targeted with Holding Cells. If I play Swifter than Sight and bow and destroy my target unbowed weapon, does that prevent the bowing at Battle resolution?

Pretty sure it works, just want verification.

The bowing effect is from Holding Cells, so Swifter than Sight can negate it.
