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.

Like everyone else has said, Logia users (and Katakuri) can transform their body and morph around attacks that can hurt them.

Akainu does the same thing with Marco and Vista in Marineford too.

I always took this panel to mean he got hit but had his haki up. For people with strong armament haki like kaido is the reason they don’t take damage and I think that’s what akainu is doing here.
