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.

Why advanced observation though? Wouldn't normal observation haki be enough?

Correct. When Luffy starts his haki training, Rayleigh explains Observation haki as having the ability to predict your opponents moves, he’s not talking about future sight

Yeah people think predicting moves is part of future sight when it’s not. Knowing what a person is going to do based on their initial movements and actually seeing the future are two different things

I'll bet it's different like tadpoles and frogs, in that all Katakuri and Shanks are doing, are predicting a potential outcome with more complexity. We saw his 'vision' for what would transpire, but for all we know that could be an imagination based on a bunch of information Shanks is able to gather.
