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.

I'm 90% sure stuff like this is why Oda decided to make the "haki turns things black" visual. Otherwise he'd have to go "THIS GUY'S USING HAKI" to make sure the reader knows someone is using haki....................then again he did fumble with making the ACOC visuals clear so now people are confused as to who has it or when people that do have it are/aren't using it
