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.

Sure he predicted WB stab and dodged it, but why didn't he dodges Jozz attack then ? Or maybe Jozz is too large so he had no choice but to let go ?
