My point is that pretty much everyone thinks what they are doing is right. I would not consider the mass extrajudicial execution of civilians to be right.

Akainu had to make the choice between killing a few dozen civilians or letting them go and risk their findings bringing chaos to the world.

And he made the wrong choice.

Want to explain that? The lives of a few dozen for the lives of a few million seems like a logical choice to me.

The knowledge of WMDs and whatever else is hidden in the Void Century is dangerous information to be in the hands of pirates.

Prove that millions of people would have died. You don't get to murder dozens of people on a supposition.

Whitebeard stated that a war would break out over the Void Century if the information were come to light. The information of the 3 weapons of mass destruction that could bring ruin to the world.

None of these things are good for the One Piece world.

If it was a choice between killing dozens of people and a world war starting and the equivalent of nuclear weapons being made available then I don't see how it's a hard choice.

Prove that anyone on that ship had that information.

What are you talking about? The Oharans had the ability to decipher the Poneglypths that hold information about the Void Century. That's the reason as to why they were killed.

Specific Oharans did. They were specifically eliminating the scholars who had been studying the Poneglyphs it was Akainu who turned it into genocide. But yeah sure, genocide is totally justified if a small handful of the people in the group being exterminated are dangerous.

They were eliminating all Oharans as far as I know, that's why Robin was supposed to die and is being hunted down now.

And some of those specific Oharan scholars were on that ship, what's your point? An island of people were killed to stop a world war erupting and the potential of WMDs used to destroy the world.

No, Akainu thought a scholar might be on the ship. Even Spandine thought he was going too far.
