I wasn't talking about the scene, I was talking about the SBS question itself.

Oda literally said he should've died back there, but didn't "just because" (the word used for killed was "yarareta", which was the same word Doflamingo used in this chapter in relation to Vergo/Monet).

That's a direct acknowledgement that he has no qualms about bringing people back without explanation.
