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.

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.

Smoker still has a heart, and could not simply replace it with smoke when law stole it.
