Crocodile actually says that the explosion would also blow away the castle, and Zoro and the rest say the ENTIRE city will be blown away. So this panel could simply depict the explosion as it's expanding, not in it's final state.I still disagree with the size allegedly being wrong. It's clear that a 5 km diameter explosion will not go past this elevated space. That is what's shown to us, whereas using a fan calc will make the explosion go way past said space. And I will always prefer using things given to us by the manga itself over fan calculations.
Also, on the very panel used in the calculation we see that the pathway, which is approximately 5 meters, isn't much thinner than the building. This method makes the castle much smaller than an imaginary red line that's up to interpretation.
If we use the headcanonish red line argument, that'd just mean the buildings aren't meant to scale, as otherwise the pathway would have to be 70 meters wide, and we know that's not true.
Another fact that stands is that there is consistency to the castle being much smaller, as seen by 5 different panels all showing it's nowhere near as big. Even ignoring everything said above, we have to go after what's consistent.
