Logia awakening is shown to be true and complete transformation of the person’s body into the natural substance of the fruit. Such that, once awakened, the body is transformed into that substance so completely that even if the person is wounded by haki they can out their body back together.
This has been shown in the story in two ways:
1. In Marineford, the very first time haki is clearly shown, Akainu is cut by Vista and remarks “now haki users”. He is clearly shown to be cut through his face and neck by a haki-empowered slash. Aokiji was also ran through by Whitebeard with haki as noted by the observers. At the time it seemed that he may simply be avoiding the slash by moving his body around the blade, but that is not the case for Akainu and contradicts the basic principle that haki allows physical contact with logia. If Whitebeard’s blade was covered with haki, the handle would have been in Aokiji’s intestines. Instead, he took no damage.
2. Also in Aokiji’s case, he is shown with a leg made of ice after Akainu ripped his original off. In this case, like with Ace, Akainu’s magma is simply hotter than the ice and destroys it, so Aokiji’s awakened defense system does not work the same way it worked against Whitebeard, which is consistent.
Furthermore, the ice leg seems to withstand very fast-paced battle and major damage without being destroyed. Aokiji has managed to connect that solid piece of ice to his own nervous system.
I would conclude from these things that the logia awakening has already been shown, and that like other fruits logia will also manifest the ability to distort the environment to some degree.
