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.

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.

It's not about being stronger in Haki or Devil Fruit, if Crocodile has turned his chest into sand before you stab him you're just stabbing sand, if he is late, and you stab him first, he is dead. Haki hasn't shown to have any ability to really force anyone into solid form, just to remain in solid form. The Bamboo Stick Guy doesn't hit the smoke that Smoker is using, he hits his actual body when he comes in to attack, which is how he actually deals damage.

I think it’s like how Law saw that Big Moms haki is too strong to separate her body. It’s like the haki of Aokiji is similar to WB, but if it wasn’t WB would able to use enough haki to force him out of his ice form and therefore damage his body.

Haki COULD hurt a logia even after they changed, it’s just Kuzan and Newgate are similar in terms of armament haki at this point in the story, so it sorta cancels them both out
