like I said, I don’t want pointless killing, and unnecessary bloodshed doesn’t fit the tone of the manga. It isn’t HxH or something that has a generally darker tone. The examples I highlighted are ones that are setup as heroic sacrifices and then we find out later they were all just fine. Except for Diamante, I just find his survival egregious because he kills a guy’s wife, makes the guy live without anyone remembering him for years, and then just gets bonked in the head and sent to jail. It undercuts how dark Dressrosa actually was
