User blog:JustSomeDude.../"There is a man I must kill!"

I'm supposed to be gone while I have no computer, but I have a question for the community that I deem important enough to blog from a stupid tablet.

In 753, Kyros states that his goal is to KILL Diamante. Not defeat, but KILL. In addition, Law has stated numerous times that he wants Doflamingo DEAD. Does Oda really intended to let these enemies die? Historically, Oda has not been known to let characters die, particularly antagonists killed by protagonists. (Unless you count these two...) So has Oda's style really changed since the time skip, or will he continue to do things the same way he's always done, with enemies being simply KO'd? Or will he have some plot-based reason to avoid their deaths?

YOU DECIDE! POLL TIME!

Is Oda wiling to have antagonists killed by protagonists after the time skip? 1. Yes. He already has with Monet and Vergo, and he will continue to do do it. 2. Nope. Nobody dies in One Piece. 3. Maybe, but we won't find out this arc. Plot reasoning will prevent it.

Also, a bonus question! Since it seems more clear that Diamante will fight Kyros, who gets to fight Trebol? 1. Luffy 2. Cavendish 3. Bartolomeo 4. Robin 5. Rebecca 6. Bellamy 7. Some team combo 8. Other.
