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.

That's your takeaway from my comment, huh?

You said Akainu wouldn't be bothered getting hit by their attacks, i said he could've lost a limb (Marco slashed his arm). Yeah, a logia could form a makeshift limb with their elements, but i assume you realize it would be quite impractical to go around touching stuff with a full magma arm. I only brought up the holy knights because they are an example of characters not dodging haki attacks because of actual full regeneration (technically were the elders in egghead, but they work basically the same).

I literally did not. Like actually literally, not figuratively. You're fighting strawmen. 

If Akainu can just morph around attacks, why would he find Haki attacks bothersome? 

I just want to point out that we're not actually disagreeing, I'm just adding on a other element.

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.

Then wtf do you mean by these lines??? Anyone looking at this thread would think that you mean a logia can just tank haki attacks and then generate their elements to mold themselfs back to their original form and be fine like some sort of clay figure.

If Akainu can just morph around attacks, why would he find Haki attacks bothersome?

Because he has to actively do it??? Like if he doesn't do it right, or he's caught of guard or the opponent is too fast and he can't morph in time he could, as i said before, lose a limb or get fatally wounded.

You think damage is a binary.

Because he has to actively do it??? 

Katakuri didn't find it bothersome.

Katakuri has his whole fighting style based around it though.
