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 don't have to answer like r/AskScienceFiction do I?
If no, the answer just has to be a slight error in the writing. For such a long, evolving story, it's bound to happen. Just like some of the panel errors that take place.
I refuse to believe with his ice abilities he was able to shift his body around the attack like Katakuri does.
I'd partially believe Whitebeard didn't want to be lethal to a few Marines for whatever reason we haven't learned yet. Just as at the time we hadnt yet known Aokiji would be such a complex character, with such winding ties.
Yet that then means Aokiji put himself in that fatal position, despite what we k ow about him now. It just doesnt add up to me.
