Many things in every story could have been avoided if things were done logically.

The republic could have just shot the droid ship at the beginning of Star Wars. Voldemort could have killed Harry Potter with other weapons. The uncle could have just killed the prince during Hamlet or Lion King just like he did with the king. That couple in that one horror movie could have just not had sex. Even the executioners in One Piece could have sliced Gold Roger's head off sooner; if they did, he wouldn't have announced his treasure, so there would be no Great Pirate Era.

Stories rely on bad decisions and flawed reasonings. Otherwise, there's no story.
