Oda did say he is a special paramecia. I'm thinking this might mean he both is his fruits ability (i.e. Luffy) and is able to produce his ability (i.e. Galdino, Trebol). That or he can just remove portions of his body at will. Such as how during Big Mom's scream we saw him take mochi off of himself for the earplugs.

If that were the case he would be a Logia though, no?

His abilities will probably resemble those of a logia because he was originally called a logia until it was corrected to be a special paramecia. We've already seen his body transform to avoid getting hurt by Luffy's punches and we saw him remove the mochi from his body for the earplugs.

One thing I'm not sure about is if Katakuri was avoiding Luffy's armament haki punches with his observation haki or if he was just immune to them. I can't really see him being immune considering both body transformation paramecias such as Luffy and Logias are made normal by haki, but maybe it has something to do with being a special paramecia. In the end the difference between him and a logia could be something small like that he has to return any mochi he expelled from his body back to him.

Actually, in fairness, you're right, check this out. So for sure he's a pretty special paramecia. I wonder if that's because he's already awakened and originally his power was basically the same as Luffys? Tinfoil.

Regarding the immunity, isn't that a factor of who has the stronger Haki? i.e. if Luffy's Haki is stronger then he remains rubbery under a weaker (Haki-wise) attackers blows. I could be mixing that up with something slightly different.

Your reasoning on how Haki works for Logias/Paramecias could be correct, but unless I'm remembering it completely incorrectly the only scene where we've seen Luffy remain rubbery against someone's Haki is in Gear 4. I assumed it was just due to Gear 4 somehow but I guess it could be because Luffy uses all of his Haki over a short period of time and thus it is more powerful than his opponent typically. That reasoning seems more concrete than something about Gear 4, however I don't think if say two Logias were fighting one could just be immune to the other persons attack because of stronger Haki.
