Yeah the similarity between Aokiji and dr. Q, both rely on abnormal status (disable) than actual damage.
Target resists abnormal status: they don't suffer damage or just a little bit.
Target blocks strong heavy damage: they still suffer damage although reduced.
People with disable DF like dr. Q, Aokiji, Hancock and Bonney are nerfed more with strong haki concept than people whose DF relies on heavy damage like Akainu and Enel.
