@1PceXperience:
This is One Piece. Characters face a lot of things that "should have" killed them. I'm pretty sure Monet AND Vergo will still be alive.
To be fair this is the first time we've ever seen a character explicitly get stabbed in the heart. She should definitely be dead.

Thoughts on the chapter: it was really good, and had a killer ending before the break,
Every single scene involving Doflamingo was great, especially his conversation with Vergo. However, the best panel is when Dofla looks utterly depressed as he prepares himself for everyone's death. It just goes to show that, unlike most villains we've seen in One-Piece, he actually cares for his crew.
I don't think there'll be a showdown with Doflamingo on this island. If there is, it'll involve everyone working together to bring him down with Luffy, Law, and Smoker leading the way.
