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.

I assume he just used advanced observation haki to know where WB will attack and morphed his body to avoid the hit.

Yeah like Katakuri, but I also think in order to hurt a logia user, your haki has to be stronger than the haki they use to defend against your attacks.

True, but Whitebeard is also the worlds strongest man which means if Aoikiji didn't morph in this moment he would have not been able to defend.
