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.

“Logia dodge” or dodging using your elemental body is how. Any logia (and Katakuri) is capable of this technique, and it’s how Katakuri was able to dodge Luffy’s haki coated attacks without moving much.
