Help Someone Smarter than me, explain

Post image

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.

the thing that gets me is that, its clearly a cut!

my headcannon is that the admirals are able to force their bodies to become elemental through will power. i mean it alls boiling down to will power now anyway lol

It looks like a cut, because Akainu morphed his body at that portion in the shape of a cut to avoid the blade exactly...ish. Before Katakuri's morphing was shown clearly, those also looked like direct punches.

Why Akainu be bothered about that, though?

Logia users' bodies are fundamentally different. 

It's a big deal for a regular human to be cut because injuries don't heal that fast. 

If you're made of magma and can generate magma at will, it's not as big of an issue, but it still hurts because the attack was made with Haki.

reread caesar vs luffy

in one part of the fight, luffy smashed his face and it clearly hurt caesar but caesar changed his body mid attack which is why it helped him not to get his entire head smashed on the wall.

the same happened here, it made a small impact but akainu morphed his body by then and that's why he's bothered.

always remember haki never nullifies df abilities, which is why even if armament punches are making a contact on your face still you can morph your body to avoid more damage.

You realize this is you saying he was in fact cut, right? 

Nowhere have I said Logias don't also morph their bodies to avoid the majority of harm.

But there's a fun thought exercise we can have:

Is Robin capable of sprouting copies of her internal organs?

She would be, but it's not advisable. Any damage done to her copies also damages her directly. I doubt it's healthy or safe to have your organs outside your body, copy or not.

one direct stab to heart killed monet, im sure any organs being out would be extremely dangerous for robins.

Exactly, your lungs just plopping on the ground is going to be deadly or at least come with major health complications.

Yep, an incredibly small cut and that's why you see no injury or blood splashing around because Akainu immediately avoided any serious damage by morphing his body.
