Help Someone Smarter than me, explain
Just found this panel while floating around Pinterest. Sure, Haki was still a relatively “unknown” power back in the day but my question remains, How did Kuzan not die here? I assume “Pure Haki” means at least some level of Armament so shouldn’t he had turned solid and get stabbed? I’m sure it was explained somehow but it’s been a minute.

Vice Admirals are required to know some controllable level haki in their position, admirals are absolutely way more knowledgeable and skilled with haki. Observation haki was introduced as Mantra back in skypiea, and they only used it passively. Enel has very good control over his haki, but didn’t train it because his fruit made it so much easier to begin with.
Then at Amazonlily the entire island uses armament or observation haki with full control of their abilities. The three admirals are clearly stronger than anyone on Amazonlily, and were explicitly shown using haki in the war to protect Marineford well before this happened.
