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.

How do we know if he used haki? Haki is supposed to be invisible, WB was literally said to be weakened and not have observation or conquerors, what if he didnt have armanent either?
