I recently re-read Marineford and noticed that it's rather strange that Akainu was able to survive such blows from Whitebeard. Sakazuki has human durability, and Whitebeard's punches have the ability to break through his defence and logia intangibility (vibrations+haki), even a mutant like Kaido would be badly damaged after such a strike (wtf Akainu has plot armor?!
)
But then I remembered how Aramaki tanked the ACOC blow from Yamato without much damage and it dawned on me that body and iternal organs of hard Logias users received durable properties of this element (Like Luffy's rubber). Not for nothing, the author constantly repeats in the description and dialogues - "Magma Human", "Forest Human" etc. Since they are the personification of their element, their inner body accordingly acquires the same properties. Therefore, Whitebeard's blows did not kill Akainu, he is a hybrid Logia - liquid+solid state, even tho Whitebeard's punches passed through all of the Akainu's defenses, they still didn't deal more damage since Sakazuki's internal organs also got magma hardness. Try to hit a piece of thick clay, it will not break or be destroyed, it will just change shape. And now you can remember how much Smoker got from Vergo's blunt punches. Solid and liquid Logias > gas Logias in terms of durability of its users. This may seem obvious, but I have repeatedly seen statements that Logias are garbage fruits bcs armament haki exist
In short, the Haki does not cancel the Logia user's body properties, it just allows them to be hit. So the Logias are not that useless as powerscalers and Zoan fans like to say.
