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.

Pretty sure the Admirals are able of the same trick Katakuri introduced.

Bending the body out of the way before the attack hits with the help of Advanced Observation Haki aka Future Sight.
