War isn't just commanders lol. The Whitebeard Pirates were supposed to be a force, more or less, equal to the Marines+Warlords. Sengoku had to prepare up the wazoo to combat them on his own home turf.

I too believe that more people on the Marines side should have died. Just not Akainu though, since he's too important in the story, and he had just been introduced.
And the Pacifista's being destroyed is irrelevant, since they are replaceable.

It is your misunderstanding of the Balance of Powers that is causing this belief. Navy HQ + Warlords = ALL FOUR Emperors. This is a canonical fact reinforced for years now by several official Viz translators.
For the Marines to suffer heavier casualties would contradict this fact and make the Government far too weak to oppose all Four Yonko.

That contradicts everything about Sengoku's preparation, the World Government's concern over Emperor alliances, and the history of the experienced Emperors. The Gorosei and Marines were freaking out over Shanks and Whitebeard, or Kaido and Big Mom allying with each other. Big Mom, Whitebeard and Kaido were literally terrorists more dangerous than Dressrosa Luffy as rookies and Rocks Pirates.

The experienced Emperors had to carve enough combat ability, influence, and military might that their forces basically had diplomatic immunity from the Marines. Navy HQ + Warlords ain't doing shit against all four Emperors. IMO the collaboration is against one Emperor's crew that might wage war against them, while all four crews are in a stalemate between each other.

@Mummykun IMO Akainu dying is fine. He doesn't have an important role in the New World, and Absolute Justice will still persist without him. What Marines do you think should've died?
Pacifista being destroyed is partly a powerscaling thing tbh. They should all be destroyed, with some Whitebeard soldier casualties. It is still a Marine casualty.

At least Sengoku or Kizaru could have died, and the loss would seem relevant for the Marines. Garp couldn't have died though, since that would be too much for Luffy.
Yeah, true, at least so far Akainu hasn't seemed to have an important role in the new world, but I don't think it would be right for him to die there because it was precisely the war that was used to introduce the character, and to set him up as the
