Whoops, I forgot about that. Still though, that injury isn't really touched on again after it happens (though the poison is, right). It's not on the same level as Zoro's wounds from Mihawk or Kuma, which have lasting effects in the arc and long into the next arc as well. And I believe Monet's death is the first onscreen death of a female character, but she is still an enemy whom readers shouldn't have much attachment to. I still have yet to fear for the life of a female heroine.
