We shouldn't reject them just because they don't fit into our "rule" (nobody ever dies in One Piece), especially since Oda never promised to keep it.
I don't people understand just how strong BB is. The guy is a fucking beast among beasts in the series now. He has a small hand chosen crew (that he picked) and he has one of the most powerful fruits in history. I don't think he's out of the running to become PK. Plus he's becoming a master planner.
