Nope. You and the other people who thought that are mistaken.

I think it's one of the few points One Piece has that can be criticized. Pell, Connie's father, Wiper should all have died as per the rules and conditions set by Oda. It was stated that the bomb had a range of 5 km to wipe everyone out. Pell was in possession of the bomb seconds before it went off. The outcome should have been obvious. The reject dial was reputed to take out the user along with the victim. Wiper used it atleast twice (maybe more?) and didn't even faint once. He later got fried by Enel and still survived.

But yeah, it's fairly obvious that Oda doesn't kill unless he absolutely has to. Don't be surprised if Monet and Vergo are still alive.

One of the few mistakes Oda did, but that's the past and who cares about it now.

Just wait till they get their own cover story showing them alive.

It was never stated that the Reject Dial kills the user, but that it causes severe damage to the user's body, their arm in particular. Wiper just had enough strength to endure it. He was shown gripping his limp arm while Luffy clashed with Enel for the last time.

Enel's case, there's an explanation on OP wiki actually that shows why people struck by his lightning survived. While the voltage was enough to fry skin and cause damage, the amps weren't high enough to stop their hearts. That's how electrocution kills you, by stopping the heart, Enel's just didn't do that.
