Shanks clashed with Akainu and completely stopped his Fist, without his Sword going through

magma is a solid element though (and his fist is probably very solid during the attack) .. 2 solids clashing = block each other .. and I think it sorta looks like Shanks used the broad side of his sword rather then the sharp edge - to block

Vista and Marco's attacks are simply strong enough to go through the magma-body and due to Haki it actually causes Akainu pain/discomfort/whatever (but it's by far not the same pain as he would have had if he were made of flesh and blood and got his shoulder sliced through like butter (that's like fatal .. ?) .. I personally think this is due to it being regular Haki - it only allows to cause some pain/damage to logias, regardless of the type of hit - even a beheading (maybe) .. Kings Haki however completely negates logias (like Yami Yami no Mi) as if they were of flesh and blood .. OR logias just can't be killed in 1 hit through haki - they will feel pain, but the body will hold out treating all hits (fatal or not) the same - after all if you're made of one element the concept of vital points likely doesn't exist .. and if your non-logia body can take 2 quakes from WB and keep going then you're all good)


but very nice analysis
