That’s your headcanon unfortunately.
How would the people have survived Ace and Teach's clash that covered nearly the entire island?
Btw my point is that you can destroy a town without killing everyone. Destroying a town means destroying the buildings.
It at least obviously implies killing a substantial amount of people.
same way Doffy destroyed the entire Dressrosa country and no one even died somehow
You added the word “slaughter” to Rocks’ crimes and Oda didn’t use such a word. If Oda is implying Rocks is a mass murderer doing genocides every other week, he would have just gone out and said so
Do you have a source that Doffy's birdcage killed nobody? I highly doubt that, and even that would be helped by the fact that:
There were Marines present to evacuate people
Fujitora, Zoro and others held back the birdcage for a bit, while people moved into the center of Dressrosa
Doffy was defeated, and the birdcage was stopped.

Do you think there is no connotation between wiping multiple towns off the face of the map/ruining countries and mass slaughter? Are they destroying towns because Rocks D Xebec hates works of architecture? Is he purposefully sending escort teams to make sure there's no casualties?
