Why would Luffy's reaction be different in either instance?

Regardless of whether a Haki punch negated his fruit powers and made him feel the punch or the Haki punch hurts someone even if they would normally be unaffected by it, the end result for Luffy is the same.

I think your theory of Haki being an attack on the spirit vs an attack that negates devil fruit abilities is not as far fetched as some are claiming. In fact, it makes alot of sense.

That being said, I dont think Magellan is a Logia. Luffy's haki is definitely stronger, as evidenced on Amazon Lily, but it is not at a point where he can inflict physical damage on a Logia. 2 reasons:
- I think Magellan would have made a bigger deal if a paramecia type was able land a hit on him, a Logia user.
- Luffy cant just use an ability that he doesnt understand. He had no idea how Sentoumaru hurt him. Being able to release his haki in an uncontrolled manner does not equate to executing a focused haki attack like Rayleigh.
