Are you talking about Jesus .

Joking aside, Jiraiya's and Merry's death were actually very similar. Both, despite being grievously injured, managed to work up just enough strength to accomplish one last mission that helped to secure the safety of their friends/loved-ones (Jiraiya by obtaining the info needed to secure victory, and Merry by sailing in and saving its crew from certain doom).

These were heroic deaths and should be "respected" as such (or at least as much respect as can be given to fictional characters).

That being said, I am not sure why people are annoyed with Bon Clay's supposed death. He came to Impel Down originally to find and help Ivankov, so Clay, unlike anyone else, actually managed to fulfill his wishes and helped to save Ivankov and Luffy. Good on you Bon Clay.
