You mean kill onscreen. There are tons of implied deaths. Bellamy, Roshio, and the Impostor Straw Hat Pirates just to name a few. Who are we to say he doesn't want us to think a character is dead? If they're declared dead beyond a reasonable doubt, then they're dead until proven alive. I say reasonable doubt in case you try to cite the yeti bros saying they killed Zoro, Nami, and Brook.
