Let's assume you are right. If two parties trade a large amount of shares at the public price, how is HFT going to interfere if the trade took place in public?

1) Dark pools are not as secretive as folks in this thread think they are.

2) Those trades are happening at the public price. Its not too often that the dark pool trades will happen outside of the NBBO and usually those exclusions happen for very large block trades.

3) Most (all?) pools are reporting to FINRA by closing some may even report sooner after the trade.

So I am not sure what your question is as the data is fairly public already.
